I Love My Nation

I love my nation!

With all my heart I love this land
I’d die for all what it stands for
Hypocrisy and two-facedness
Inhumanity and corruption
What a sweet and wonderful song to sing?
I love my country
Kenya

I know all my fellow countrymen and countywomen
Will say the same
This nation is an oasis of damnation
Full of extortion and oppression 
Ohhhh I love it with all my intuitions 
What an imposition to shoulder
I love my country 
Kenya

New storming and infiltration every moonlight
Deaths are common like cars
How I love my country
KENYA

Albinos' Song

A song of love to all ALBINOS, a song I will sing till my last day.

Let every lung help out in singing 
Let every mouth breath the song I air
Let everyone blessed with muscles flex
For this is a war we must win
Blood must be shed in combat
And we have shed enough blood already
They have cut our hair
They have mutilated our genitals
I cry because I have no nails
For they have chopped them off
 Please join hands with me in this battle
I can’t win it without your help
HELP ME SING THIS SONG
For I know you love me

SING ALONG THE SONG 
All the way from Tanzania to Gabon
Through Kenya to Nigeria
For we are all vulnerable
They are killing us

I am a seven years old boy from Embu
I have provoked no one to deserve this
My beloved uncle can do this
When we share the same blood
Blood is thicker than water
My teacher said so
But not any more when am who I am
I am not safe even at home
Sing the song too laud for everyone to hear
Because even the police do nothing to help
I am an isolated molecule
Watching over my shoulders every time someone whispers
PLEASE SING THIS SONG TO EVERY LIVING SOUL
For this is a war we must win

I am a young girl
Suffering from the incurable disease
I wasn’t born with it
I haven’t sinned to get it 
I got it because I am an Albino
Superstitions led him to me
He raped me because he believed I’d bring him luck
Those are stereotypes
How can I heal you if I can’t heal myself?
You can’t cure me now
But you can give me humble time to live with my dilemma
And I will forgive him for what he did
And love you for that
SING THIS SONG ALONG
For this is a war we must win

 
Am just a kid, a mother, a father, a sister, a brother
Love me for I love you
Like it or not we are stuck in this planet together
I fear no death for you have killed me many times
I have bled in my heart severely
PLEASE SING ALONG
For I need you hand and mouth in this battle

I am a loving ALBINO
With so many tales to tell my kids
Don’t take that away from me
Protect me because I always gat your back
SING ALONG 
In twitter, facebook, blog, news papers, radio, TV
For this is a war we must win

SING ALONG MY FRIEND
For I am the blessed one
Sure you don’t want my extinction
For your kids will hate you in years to come
SING ALONG AGAIN 
FOR YOU DON’T KNOW WHAT COULOR IS YOUR NEXT KID

I AM AN ALBINO AND YOU CAN’T CHANGE THAT

Brave Kid

Who is that?
Am your mother!
That’s not my mother!
Then it’s your father!
My father’s voice was acidic!
I’ll make mine acidic then!
He is also dead!
What about your brother?
Go away Clown!
I don’t play for laughter!
Am calling the police!

My Beautiful Friend

My beautiful friend
Hey. You daughter of beautiful Zion
Brighter than the city of Jerusalem
Yet I find no pleasure i you
O daughter of Jerusalem
Beautiful than the summer stars

Through the tender nights ahead
Illuminated with candles of life and laughter
Precious memories reserved in deep within
Where the greatest treasures dwell
The purest of all darkest places

And the adventure of finding the oracles
Believed to shine deep in the seas
Far in the islands of hope
Where the current and storms roars so loud
And ruthless because they rule
Wow. Have seen her walk like a gazelle
Down the stairs her stare appealing
Long hair tail brushing her shoulders
A sweet glance but bitter experience
O daughter of Jerusalem

Oh. The view of her sleep
Is the utmost morning by the ocean
Her full lips are saccharine blended
Have seen a great treasure hidden beneath ego
Slyness in her priceless exquisite iris
Mmmh. My hands have exploited her heart
All over from the outside
The lovely taste of the beautiful ovals
But she is a deceiving cunning beauty
You daughter of beautiful Zion

Pride. Something have never fathomed
For it resides where only gods know
All in the name of finding the truth
Mostly hurting to the core of my humanity
Wails of lies decorating my trust
Yet I don’t learn because I treasure my friendship
Hoping one day someone will
For promises are oaths we not break
I live this life because of people like you
O daughter of Jerusalem

Lies. You jab my heart with a hot piercing needle
The pain so much I can’t bear
To you is only a good joke
To me is another worse day
Worse because I trust you with my life!
But what I got in return was the middle finger
Rising up to the heavens
I don’t know why
My beloved friends always hurt me most
I don’t know why
I never let them go
Help me understand why, my beautiful friend 
Know I will treasure our friendship no matter what


From there above all mankind
Far in the heavens of no return
Where beings pay homage to he supreme
The creator of the universe and stars
The potter of our form and thoughts
He stood
Knowing not of his lonely venture
In finding the astray mortality and truth
His heart thirsty of knowledge
He believes in writing he can beat the gods
And uncover their vow of silence and secrecy
O daughter of Jerusalem

Smiling they force their way
Through the labyrinths greened path
Dew and leaves brushing their heads
For mortality is more vital
Oh. The oceans that’s are very far
Full of killer animals and breads
Full of dangerous thoughts and bliss
Full of mendacious tongues and eyes
Full of full moon and smiles of hope
The simple symmetric opposite of oneness
The unshakable law of the universe
O daughter of Jerusalem

How could I forget?
A cowboy never forgets his boots
Horses he can always find in the desert
Boots only in certain stores
O how could I possibly forget?
My position is so well painted
In the darkest of all inks that even blind can see
You daughter of beautiful Zion
With your fathoming tales of war
Yet I can find the words for you
Because I tread in the rough terrains
Covered with mud
And venomous snakes
But after every bite I smile
For am following my way
You daughter of beautiful Zion

Why do people lie?
To those be worthy of truth
Why do people hold to lies?
When the ropes are too short
Their eyes so beautiful when they do so
For they hold the key to your next move
I will never like lies
In this life or the next
Truth hurts less than lies
For I don’t know who to trust anymore
My beautiful friend

Men

Am a man of honour

And who asked you?

I thought you were interested in knowing

Why should I?

Look at me?

Have been looking at you

Do you know who I am?

No! Why should I?

Mmmmhhhh!

Do you know me?

No!

Then we neither know each other!!

My Sister

CherryFiona

How much I had prayed for Friday the 14th
The day I’d see my only sister
The day I’d cherish her smiles and laughter
The day she’d come to this city
The day we’d walk hand in hand at the edge of the ocean
And that day was today
The Friday 14th

All through the night I could see the sunlight
The brightness it always brings in my life
I knew, very well
The dark clouds of study fatigue would be brightened

In my dreams 
Happy days I saw behind us
Splendid days I dreamt ahead of us
But every day is an important day
In making those dreams a reality
And today was a good day

She is more than a sister 
For we share more than that

She is a beautiful flower 
In the garden of love and harmony 

She is a smiling Angel
The beauty of the true heaven

We are friends 
For she will never lie to me

We’d walk together
For she always finds my hand and squeezes it

I love her company 
For I am complete in her presence

I’d trust her
For she gat my hand when am down

And for that
I’d always make her happy
And today was a good day

Wishes of a Fool

I wish I were on this planet alone
For there wouldn’t be heart breaks

How I wish I were not soft hearted
For I would fight for my happiness

I wish my mind was in one dimension
Nothing would make me look back

I wish I was a stupid
For I wouldn’t assume things around me

My God I wish I was blind
Sure I wouldn’t see when she cheats on me

Why was I not created deaf?
For their hatred words are soaring

I wish I was a fool; a nerd
For I wouldn’t think twice

I wish I couldn’t write
There wouldn’t be press to remind me my failures

How I wish I could not read
For sure I would not write how I feel

Mmmmmmh! I wish I had a pump for a heart
God knows I wouldn’t fall for any one

How I wish these were not wishes of a fool?
For I’d always dream of you

I wish 24 days could be multiplied to be years
For I would be the happiest man like you said

You gat me relax
I wish you could say that today

I wish I could hear your lovely words and whispers
For my heart would tremble no more

I wish I could read this out loud
For every heart and Soul to know how I feel

I wish and hope I can learn on how to stay alone again
For you became part of me when you said yes

Declaration

This is my declaration
One with no decoration
More of a confession

I wish I were always there with you
To promise you what have never promised

The day I saw you
I saw a treasure hidden beneath you coloured face
A smile to lift the dark clouds of my life
A heart with enough beats to love

I felt like I had gotten something I never knew I was searching for
I knew you were my match

I won’t ask much
But why can’t we together match? 

Overnight I will watch the stars
As the moon rotates day and by night
Then I will say a prayer for my Toto
The one I love, cherish and care for
Remember you will always be my Angel
{Bluh bluh bluh}

I will always treasure you 
Because you are my treasure of pleasure
Give me a kiss 
To seal this declaration!

Bachelors' Talk

Falling in utopia of love
Mesmerized like a dove
People hate you move
For you are not yourself
Why? Why? Why?
That’s my question to you

I started like a joke
Blended like culture I was
The traps are hard to evade
You say to me that

My brother from another mother
Hate is what it turns to at last
Best friends make worst enemies
Love is no joke
People get it wrong
To this monster slaves they become
Come back home
Bachelorhood is our style

Once I was a ruthless brother
A wounded buffalo I became 
Every hole I poked my horns 
I tell you 
There is more danger in the brotherhood
But I blame no one
It was not their cause
This is my cross
Heavy it is and the mountain is rough
But I have to match

Nothing I will say 
My other friends will learn from you
You’ll die poor and rich
Poor of love
Rich of sorrows
Love is no reach
But smoke and mirrors painted illusion
Go on boy

If the road becomes dark and unbearable
I hope I’ll have a place to call home
For the sake of our good days

Why tread along if you know the dangers
For you have the waters right here
K is always a constant

Bye my brother 
I must do this alone
If I find happiness I know you will follow me

That you will never get

Only the one up there knows

God of love is only a name

Let me go and know that for sure

My Destination

There are people destined to be rich
How you forget the peasants?
Others is destination of happiness
Don’t forget those who live in sorrows
Destination is never fate
But you can’t chose yours

Some men are destined to find pots of love
Others lack the teaspoon of the same
People are destined to be kings and rule
Others follow rules until the rules kill them

This is my destination
To always fail
To always cry
To always make wrong decisions
People to always hurt me

No matter the enormous fight I put on
The end is always the same
To have beauty; a price I must pay
Dearly with my heart

This is my life
The one I am proud of
The skeleton of sorrows
My heart is so valuable
Yet the most vulnerable
Jabbed with swords it have been
Pain it feels no more

Men never rip no tears; blood they do
Once a man said
But how can I keep my eyes dry?
How can I keep my voice steady?
How? This is my destination
No matter how doomed
You did nothing wrong
You added you contribution to my pangs
Know am just used to this
How I wish to understand
This laid down path to follow
It is all drawn like a graph
The marks I have to join

That’s my destination
