Njeri Hunjeri Poet Free verse

The Tower of Babel

Today I woke up and smiled with Africa
     I rapped with Nazizi 
     I admired with Ali Kiba 
     I adored with Fuse Odg 
     I danced with Fally Ipupa 
I remembered with Lucky Dube and Brenda Fassie

Today for lunch, I learnt some French
     I dreamed with Maitre Gims 
     I danced some more with Soprano 
     I was amazed by Stromae 
     I was moved by Kendji Girac 

And down I flowed on the Orinoco with Celtic Woman
I felt colorful with Sean Paul, Daddy Yankee, Gyptian and Enrique Iglesias 
I read some quotes from Bob Marley
Latino beats, reggae beats, ragga dance hall!
And there went Pitbull featuring so, so, and so..

And higher I went, changing my dish
     Sia now we are talking
     Hey Hey Beyonce 
     Damn Eminem 

Oh my Psy. ..
Girl's generation, 2NE1 ......okay
Falling back into highschool
But awake enough not to forget to click the button
Wow that music India 
I don't get it, but I love it

And I really truly wanted to stay awake
And travel the world some more, to the tunes unknown
But I had to sleep
For tomorrow is another adventure

When God confused the languages,
He knew through them we were more beautiful
He knew through them we reached higher

Viv Wigley January 5, 2016 at 7:58 AM As a youngster, I would sit by our huge radiogram, and tune the dial through the wavebands and listen to strange voices in differing tongues around the world. And beacons, and ships. The world didn't seem so small after all...... great write, njeri. Viv x Njeri Hunjeri February 7, 2016 at 3:15 AM Its amazing how music can bring all of us together.

Arthur Vaso December 24, 2015 at 2:41 AM I loved this, your poem sings harmony, last Sunday I was in a church here that gave part of the sermon in the language of Jesus, Aramaic, was so interesting just to hear it, simply because it was so old and yet still spoken here! Njeri Hunjeri December 24, 2015 at 9:04 AM wow that is awesome. language is so beautiful....languages are so beautiful. i love music and i listen to all kinds of them. most of them, i don't understand the language but i love them a lot. thank you Arthur and merry christmas
