Cool Me Down

Sometimes I burn with desire and passion
The feeling that entangles my heart and mind 
That makes me vulnerable to emotions
It pierces me from within, sets my body in rage
Love is hell burns internally, where is heaven
My black heaven, the daughter of Africa
Send me black woman to cool me down

Sometimes I sit down out of this world
In the vacuum of earthly religions
Thinking hard which is true one thereis none
Muslim pagan to Christian, Christian Kafir to Muslim
Whether heaven is full of honey, milk and;virgins to Jihadists
My coffee is dark I need milk and honey for my earthly sip
Quench my testosterone with a virgin on earth
Heaven is too far for me
Send me African religion to cool me down.

Sometimes I feel sorry for those in sorrow and boredom
Isolated from life and happiness, frowned I see the mummies
The spirits have left them, they hover over their heads
I sit inbetween them with my philosophies to brighten them faces
Story, there is no death to life but to the body
We neither go to heaven nor hell, life is transformed into another body
The newborns, ancestors live in them life goes on
Nkurumah,Kenyatta,Makeda live in I and I The Livy
Through stories, spirits gets back into them.
Send me weed to cool me down.

Sometimes I look up in the sky,”heaven” is now visible
They have thinned the ozone so they could see God
But the more I look up for “heaven” the more I don’t see it
My eyes blinded by the rays from “hell”
I see through my skin which is in fire,and carcinomas 
The springs and rivers turned into trenches tributaries to hell
Tears for my brothers and sisters...Down in..
Turkana and Baringo have no food, they feed from their own fat.
Consumed by sun the “hells’” fire into bones and carcasses
Send me rain….
NO
Send me fire to cool me down
