Life Is Too Short

Life is too short

I take look at my life
I could see the green pastures
Which are like garden of Eden
They are full of fruit
colorful fruit
I could see the oranges
mangoes and guavas
I could even smell
the sweet taste of aroma from nature
but I am not there physical
And life is too short
to achieve everything

But once at a time
some say bit by bit
some say steady but surely
what do i say my dear friend
because some people cant stand up strong
some people cant wait for long
while they have mission to complete
and life is too short

too short to achieve everything
What is our youth doing in our communities
ignoring politics while living under constitution
Instead of fighting technical fight
they are fighting physical fights
killing our innocent brothers
raping and robbing the women of our nation
these people have lost their humanity
I shall recall on our great heroes
who stood up and fought for our rights
yet they knew their limits
but they went far beyond their limits
because they knew that life is too short
to live under oppression

Mama Uph Ubaba

Mama uph uBaba

Mother where is my father?
Mother where is my second teacher?
Mother where is the man in my life?
that will teach me manhood
with love, care and integrity
Mother where is my strongest point?
because I have the soft spot
and that is you...his so called
but to me mom, you are my angel
I just dont know to him
Because sometimes I feel like I am adopted
when I see my friends playing with their fathers at their home
my brothers calling their fathers
even my sisters calling their father with their name
what about me mom?
one foot can't run

Its like I am lost
when I see happy families 
some disrepecting their fathers
not realising how much I miss mine
 I mean the pain and anger
it just makes me want to cry
mama where is my father/
does he knows about me 
I mean the angel he left with you
mother am I the reason of your seperation
If not then why he left us mom/
what about me mom?
were you working while he left you?
did you have shelter or food to eat/
what was he thinking mom?
Because he was the one who was there
busy promising you 
the moon, the stars and the sky
stealing your joy while killing your future
but now I understand mom
you was blinded by love and your age was against you
but he took advantage of you
using you while you gave him a son
mother he never cared about you!!!
he never cared about me!!! he never cared about the family that he started himself!!!
was he drunk mom?
was he high mom?
was he goof mom?
actually he was himself
full of himself
a man who desperately needed a family
but having no intellectually wisedom 
to mainatin his family
I am sorry mama
and please God
make me a better man everyday....
