Poem
I remember whenever grandmother sent me to buy talk time. She instructed me strictly to buy from the same shop, because she believed that their talk time does not finish fast! I remember when I was young, I knew my father can defeat anybody when fighting arises! I feel like living this continent but each time I get to the airport, I use to ask myself, can Africa cope without me! My friend bought his father in law beers, immediately he got drunk. He shouted" One day my daughter will find a rich man". I remember when I was young, I used to think that immediately I complete grade 12, I will go to college and after that start working. But, here I am just a minibus conductor! I will never drink beer again. Imagine knocking at the door for 3 hours forgetting I stay alone! When I was young I used to think that the headquarter is the quarter of the head! I remember when I was young we believed that the number of stars I could count would be my age I will die, you see I used count thousands and thousands of stars to live more years! I remember when I was writing GCE some years back, some people thought I will fail one or two subjects but I surprised them..... I failed all subjects! When the teacher wants you to fail an exam will be like " explain what happened on the picture using 200- 250 words in 10 minutes". I am sorry for not being here since morning I went to the Central Bank to help them mix paint for the new bank notes! You are inside the bus, suddenly the driver shouts" I am tired of this life" And start over speeding, reply as a passenger! Why is James the disciple texting you that he's pregnant? My friend's wife asked him. Because he saved his side chick as James the disciple. I doubt if this man can make it to heaven. He must be answering questions in purgatory! Come Jesus Christ, see people have been fighting for minerals, oil and land which are not theirs for years. Ready to fight and kill for material things, however not for your kingdom! I had full trust in my dog, until one day another dog chased us together with my dog with it's tail between the legs! I remember when I was a child, whenever I enter a car. I saw trees run after me, I thought that trees want to catch me! One day, a rich man was boasting to a poor man. As long as you are a poor and away from corridors of powers and connections, your portion is losing cases and jail. But, the poor man answered, have you read the story of Lazarous and the rich man?
