Best Kenyan Poems

In this land we had a President teacher
So was our nice neighbour next door
A fertile ground to hold holy such a duty
An easy guess : respect was far more important
Than what we thought of compensation for labour
That renders throats dry sniffing chalk dust

Only moon will...

The CRY OF A KENYAN. 
Rihanna talks of The New America
American Oxygen
It seems same for poor Kenya
Our one and only treasure
Drowning in the dark
Driven by cartels of no concern
No care for the next generation. 
And here's my plead. 

Am lost within a nation
No name no...

A huge ego breaks off love’s embrace,
A tiny ego slips off love’s embrace,
No ego, no embrace of love!

A selfless ego suffocates from love’s embrace,
A selfish ego wards off love’s embrace,
No ego, no embrace of love!

A super-visual ego overshadows love’s embrace,
A deep-seated ego is colonized by...

The books are open
to us who fatten
mice into pigs

even tho' u limp, brethren
crawl to the ward
take seat in the arena

shortly,
curtains will part
To you : Be brutal!...

My Three Kenyan Friends
I met them this weekend at a friend’s house in Indianapolis
The sweetest siblings you would ever want to meet
Blessed by the presence of the Lord Jesus Christ
In their smiles was the love of my Savior
Three wonderful smiles
Three wonderful hearts
Friendship established for evermore
My...

I quit
I throw my hands down
and sit, sometimes

they called for reconciliation without
 justice
They called for justice without 
truth
Now they ask for prayer without
confession, umpteenth,
it chafes

 Has dishonesty made you inadequate  
to let go the desecration
infringement
negligence
graft
shame of these violations 
which bake violence?

Yet another fifth year

Be Not Afraid 
When God Says so
everything is  permitted
The genocide on screens 
was sanctioned from heaven 
800 acres 800 graves
In the name of God 
Their Journey was hastened 
The heavens were opened
"I saw visions of God."
Ezekiel was preaching

Be not Afraid 
The Government has faith...

Put your finger down 
If you  believed 
That Maandamano (Protests) would change the country 
Put your finger down 
If you were caught in the feeling 
That the revolution has been televised 
Put your finger down 
If you believed 
His excellency  was shaken ...

I am glad I went to hell
Glad to have  met death 
Looked at his face, hugged him 
Fell to my knees, kissed his feet 
Asked If I could stay and live with him 
          ...

In my City 
When they say they will kill you 
It's prudent to do 
Believe them and keep the distance 
Because They really mean it 
And I am from my city 
But I got heart, tears, and poetry 
So you best believe me 
When I...

I feel bad we never met 
You missed out on something amazing 
I was God's grace, I was boundless
I never saw it coming in the end 
Only feeling  me in fleeting moments
The greatest version already left 
I really have been fading 
Day in, day...
