Water is life
Our thirst we resuscitate.
Oceans potions
Notions
...

With their bags they walk
On their backs they talk.
'Excuse me sir
I lost my book! '
...

Bees are known for their sweet honey,
Bees are known for their poisonous sting.
Bees are known for their diligence.
When flowers dry
...

Look at them
Their wrinkled faces tell it all
Of the heat that is eating them up,
Look at them child
...

'BETROTHED'
A response to Obyero Odhiambo poem Betrothed.

Well you say
...

Show me where to steal,
Coz I am tired of being honest
In a society where values are only learnt in class
Yet practiced none on the grass.
...

Africa a continent of beauty and wealth
But unknown and unexplored by its humanity.
Africa why the animosity?
Across your nations war tempers rage
...

Trials
In
Our lives are plenty.
We get psychological torture
...

You have time to think about the future,
It may not be crystal clear,
Yes, it may be unclear,
You still have time to think about it.
...

DISABILITY MADE ABILITY

Hello to the world, Care to listen to my plea,
Isolated I feel, humiliation I undergo still,
...

If you have to be good
Be a good listener
And please don't be rude
Unless you want to be a sinner.
...

The big ball sends spikes of fire on earth
Each ray wrapped with wrath,
AND stealthily he maneuvers eastwards,
Behind half-baked herbs stand.
...

Across this street,
There is one thing that catches the eye.
It is not the tarmacked roads that snakes down the hills
Neither the beautiful horizons drawn by the setting sun,
...

How
Many kilograms do these
Chains weigh?
Is it,2,3 or even
...

The beautiful western sun
Is cruising to the west
Tinting the already blue-dark horizon
With beautiful rays,
...

For how long will I cry, as I woo you to sleep?
For how long will I choke under your odour
As you dry up?
...

It all began
With the lowering of the Union Jack.
The innocent land welcomed a new breed of thugs,
With their appetites like hyenas
...

I know of a place in my heart
That human beings would love to touch
I know of a place in my heart
That humanity would love to hurt
...

Look around keenly; tell me what you see,
A world immersed in moral decadence.
A society built on blasphemy
Man craving for worldly fame.
...

How do I start thanking you!

My mind keeps on jumping
Up and down
...
