Tony Kipkemboi Poet Blank verse

I Hunger

I hunger for something
   something to fill my heart,
   I hunger for something
   Yes,something that will take away my hunger.

   I hunger for real trust
   Trust that makes me safe
   If only it makes me satisfied 
   That I can go anywhere safely.

   I hunger for direction
   The direction towards righteousness
   If it gives me the satisfaction I can feel
   Only hoping that tomorrow will come

   I hunger for peace and unity
   Reunion of varied ideologies
   Politically,religiously and socially
   In this geodesic world

   I live in a rocket
   The one shaped with a pointed stick
   Stitching out for everyone to see;
   Then,why should I not hunger for a better one?

Meanwhile, I greet you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life."
