In Pursuit of Happy

They say that happiness is the key, 
to the best things out of all that we see. 
They are in constant pursuit, 
of the mystery that keeps them smiling, 
forgetting any bad they go through everyday. 
They keep on searching, 
running after anything promising a great journey, 
through life as they try to forget all the dreary, 
situations that befall on them constantly. 
They seek to put out the fire burning, 
deep inside their minds disturbing, 
their peace and goals they strain achieving. 
They seek the alcohol, 
drinking it all down just to quench the thirst in their souls, 
their beliefs of being happy lying at the bottom of a bottle. 
The only cure they have prescribed in their thoughts, 
taking the pain away block after block, 
taking it apart till its no more. 
Feelings of joy taking over all they do is smile, '
feelings of sorrow disappearing from deep inside,
they can feel it taking over, 
eyes full of blood none left in their brains, 
thoughts all gone they can only try to train,
their hands to hold firm the drink they placed their faith, 
in order not to miscalculate their movement when dancing, 
and end up spilling it on anybody passing. 
Their feet staggering, 
getting tired of lifting, 
the body by every passing minute. 
Alcohol meets blood now their minds are working, 
yapping all that comes to their tongues no stopping, 
no thinking just talking, 
its exciting....


till the morning, 
something is wrong his body dictating, 
nothing feels right he keep on guessing, 
looking around disturbed, 
trying to keep his eyes from focusing, 
on the light in the room curtains closed he is stressing. 
His head throbbing, 
too painful a feeling that thinking keeps him hurting.
Stomach running and that's what his feet are doing, 
running to the bathroom to release whatever is corroding, 
him inside such a horrible feeling. 
Its unbearable, 
sleep might cure it all. 
Time is all he is losing, 
energy is the only thing he needs to be gaining. 
Dirty and hungry, 
but the thought of food makes him worry, 
he needs energy but not food, such irony.
The task left to the blood to detox itself, how funny,
that it keeps him alive and he fills it with trash,
is it worth it?
Does it really make him happy?

In Hope

I heard them say, 
that life is full of promises. 
I hear them pray, 
that God makes a way us to excel. 
I have a dream, 
and each morning I wake up just to give it a chase. 
I aim high, 
higher than where the moon and stars are placed. 
I give it a try, 
and the universe gives me a peak of what I can have. 
It's within reach, 
If I stretch further I can have a touch. 
Its all there, 
my heart and soul knows this and we take control. 
The control of life, 
steering with keen towards our goal. 
I see the light, 
Its shinning brighter for my eyes feel with glee.

...then it all comes crushing down....

I blink a bit and it comes crushing... 
down, am left lying in darkness...
It was all there, now nowhere...
shuttered...
am drowning...

How could it disappear I ask, 
How can it seem so near, 
yet so far I cannot bear, 
the thought of losing it before getting there...
How could it lead me so closer, 
yet the moment I near it vanishes in thin air...
how could it...

Painful it is to bear, 
the thought of being down brings fear, 
my mind wanders in confusion as I strive for a better,
feeling than this causing my heart to drown like it's tied to an anchor.

I must wake, 
I must rise from this wreck,
I must gather the only strength I have left to try and break,
I must take heart and rise above all fear and torture that evil can make.

and so I rise, 
in hope I find the means, 
to stand on two feet,
again to keep my goal alive. 
In hope I steer dust off the dirt, 
I take up the sword and hold it closer to my heart, 
arising from  the ashes and again seeking to fly, 
my focus now clearer and my breathe now deeper, 
I know I can do it and all it takes is the inner, 
spirit to excel above all that tries to hinder, 
me from achieving what I have been so eager, 
to find and make my whole life better. 

In hope I fly, 
In hope I try, 
In hope I strive,
In hope all I seek I shall find.

..and so I go, 
head held high and full of hope, 
heart pumping harder and mind set on my goal, 
I know, 
that failing doesn't mean the end of the road, 
I know, 
that the journey of life is full of such falls, 
I know, 
that the bad sometimes comes our way just to make us strong, 
I know, 
that the only way I can get there is by filling my heart with eternal hope. 
I know...
that in hope,
all, 
is never,
lost.

Strength

We stand tall united, 
but fall short divided. 
When two are put together, 
it always gets better.
The bonds formed from deep within,
are too strong to be wrecked with.
Two is always better, 
but one always fall shorter, 
of the glory intended by God, 
the creator.

In unity is strength, 
in strength lies wisdom, 
to do whatever it takes, 
to think bigger. 

In unity is strength, 
in strength lies riches, 
to do whatever it takes, 
to become wealthier. 

In unity is strength.
A motto I had to learn in high school, 
so as to grow stronger and not a fool, 
to take life by a day and not two, 
and swim my way out of the evil pool. 
The evil of unco-operation, 
the evil of division, 
the evil of separation, 
the evil that blinds us from our goal. 
In unity lies strength, 
in strength  I believe you and I, 
can do whatever it takes to rise high.

The Art of Wait

Patience is a virtue, 
the art of waiting in silence, 
not judging anything that comes your way, 
just taking it in without complain, 
for it was meant to happen that way, 
for nothing you see is a mere coincidence, 
nothing you feel is just an ordinary, 
nothing you find can just be discarded away. 
Those who sit still and wait without vain, 
are bound to be rewarded with more gain, 
than pain like those who seek the evil way. 
It is an act that seeks to make humankind, 
meditate from within the soul and brain, 
think long and hard on ways to make, 
everything better with each passing day. 
It is a tool that beings can use to drain, 
the soul off any gathering pain, 
we go through trying to make ends, 
meet at the point we hope to stay. 
It is a weapon that mankind can slain, 
the evil in one strike rather than take, 
several blind jabs just to make it go away. 
The weapon that can make us rise above the strain, 
the stress we go through just to put out the flame, 
burning inside destroying our aim. 
The patient wait in silence in the midst of a stormy rain, 
they wait as the devil tries to reign. 
They wait, 
still till evil thinks it will win, 
till the devil thinks it has shuttered everything on land and sea, 
till the dreams begin to faded and not be seen....

Then they strike, 
with one slay they put the devil to shame, 
with one strike they chase the evil away from their head, 
with just one word they pray God brings all grace, 
with just one word all dreams are made. 

Patience is a virtue, 
learn it by heart and let it brighten the day, 
let it shield your heart from a wreck, 
and God will reward you with plenty like drops of rain.

Life Prayer

Its never too easy, 
to take control of life, 
and steer it vividly, 
away from the obstacles that seek to drive,
you off the rail, 
to fall short and in pain, 
with no more strength to carry on another day. 

We steer too fast, 
and our lives are bound, 
to get out of control, 
and we lose it all by a single breath.

We steer too slow, 
and our hearts are bound, 
to yearn for more,
lest we miss out on our goal. 

We steer perfect, 
and our patience will guide, 
us through to a perfect life, 
the purpose of mankind. 

And so I pray, 
that God's will be shown each day,
for my eyes to open, 
and my heart to steer my life out in the open, 
For my hands to hold still,
and fill with grip, 
to hold steady the wheel. 
I pray that the road be smooth, 
for He creates the perfect path, 
perfect for the purpose I serve, 
till I reach the destination I yearn, 
for it's Him that knows better. 

Amen.

I Dare

Daring to dream. 
Daring to be greater than the ordinary I am. 
Daring to step out of comfort just to discover who I am. 
Daring to be more for He promised to make me the king I am. 

I know that life doesn't mean suffering, 
I know that black doesn't mean slavery, 
I know that Kenya is never my boundary, 
I know that Africa is not full of tribal rivalry. 

Yet.. its hard to realize the potential we have, 
hard to see that it starts from the heart, 
hard to see that vanity will drag us back, 
to the ground where all life lack. 
Its hard to see...
That our destiny is within our reach, 
Its hard to see...
That we can rise above all greed and build our bridge, 
across ethnic borders and tribalism urge, 
to the land of peace and no more grudge. 

I know that Africa deserves plenty,
I know that Kenya can be a land of loyalty,
I know that black is just dark beauty, 
I know that life is meant to be Godly. 

And so I dream, 
I dare to awaken the inner me and feel my heart beat, 
I dare to cut through these blinders distracting me, 
I dare to be who I was set out to be.
Me.

Good Morning

Woke up on the good side of life, 
with a smile that I could feel, 
from deep within me, 
my heart beating, 
enough reason to thank the Almighty. 
open up my curtains to let it in, 
light to my eyes and food to my soul. 
No sign of anything dreary, 
anything that might keep me weary. 
I look across my window admiring the beauty,
the rising sun appearing ready, 
to take on another journey, 
across the land above the sky's beauty, 
bringing hope to the awakening country, 
bringing joy to the people in the morning, 
shining across the land and the sea, 
shining above for all to see. 
I opened my window to let it all in, 
breath to my lungs and drink to my heart,
filing me up like fuel to an engine, 
cutting across my skin the cold air in the morning, 
with each breath I feel, 
my heart smile with glee. 
I never knew it would be, 
so perfect and sweet.

Then I start listening, 
to the sweet melody, 
caressing my ears and appealing, 
my soul as they continue singing, 
or maybe some whistling,
beautiful melodies. 
A smile now growing, 
on my face as the music in me, 
awakens my spirit and I can feel my heart pumping, 
glad to be fully functioning, 
telling me its now ready, 
to take on another day with bravery, 
not fearing anything that seek to harm me, 
ready to pump blood flowing in me, 
ready to take on the world and keep the flame burning.

The Goal

They say happiness comes and goes, 
They say joy can not last for long, 
They say love is only a temporary thought, 
They say life ends after all. 

The being that I am, 
the soul that I own, 
the mind that I control, 
and the heart that drives it all, 
were they meant to come and go?
were they meant to last not long?
were they meant to play a temporary role?
does life really end after all?
do I believe in life after the curtains fall?
do I see future beyond all obstructions?
do I yearn for more in times of little growth?
do I seek to rise even when I fall?

The evil seek to cloud our thoughts, 
and bring down all hope. 
It creeps in our soul, 
and leads us to suffering forever more. 
It clouds our eyes till we can't see no more, 
of the glory set before, 
us till we run blind and spin out of control, 
veering off our God made road, 
the road meant to leads us above and beyond. 
The devil, 
full of temporary vanity solutions, 
meant to patch up our heart and soul, 
meant to please us for not too long, 
for when the money goes, 
will she really stay because of he see's him as being more?
will he really make time for her since all hustle is gone?
will they really see beyond what all the money bought?
Or will they follow the path of money and be gone...

They say happiness comes and goes, 
I say the heart never stops, 
They say joy can not last for long, 
I say smile and be glad after evil is gone, 
They say love is only a temporary thought, 
I say love the life and see all sadness go, 
They say life ends after all, 
Well, 
I say after doing good,
feel good,
and move on.

Dream

It starts with a dream. 
It starts with the inner motivation to succeed, 
the inner heart to prosper, 
the inner power to shine. 
It starts with a dream. 

To shine above all the darkness, 
To prosper in the midst of downfall, 
To succeed among failure, 
It all starts with a dream. 

The journey of life, 
full of obstacles and detours, 
where without the guiding light, 
evil penetrates our soul, 
and our hearts die slow, 
and our minds drift to the unknown, 
the oblivion full of earthly desires, 
where the devil clocks double shift on all of his jobs. 

On this end our souls crumble, 
we give in and lose it all. 

But the Lord gave me the light, 
to shine among the dark,
to stand my ground and firm my feet, 
that I will not stumble nor fall, 
nor hold that thought in my soul, 
rather I will illuminate the dark, 
and he will make me whole, 
once more.

A Prayer

Open up the mind and let new ideas flow, 
let the soul settle and create new roads, 
to lead your heart far and beyond. 
Get inspired to grow, 
motivated to know, 
all that is good and makes you grow,
wiser each day and stronger than a rock. 
May knowledge fill your soul, 
wisdom pour from your mouth when you let them know, 
that He lives in you and loves them all.
Listen to them all, 
for each one has some knowledge of their own, 
each one of them see's the world according to their vision. 
The good in some of them is shielded by bad thoughts, 
for the devil tries to bring them down, 
and make them doubt,
everything they have ever known. 
Let them know that God, 
rules everything that is beyond their control, 
that they should not fear the unknown, 
but they must trust in Him for He knows, 
the path that leads them home. 
Whatever they seek to know, 
is before them all they need to do is question, 
and the universe will respond.
Make them see through the wall, 
and God will break it all down and let them cross,
to the side they have always wished for.
My son, I hope that you will let them know, 
that they should move away from that which aims to control, 
their hearts to love vanity possessions. 
Let them know that people are meant to be loved, 
and things are meant to be used, 
not the other way round.
