Best Mzee Poems

We are kenyan superstars,
That is what we are,
Kenya our mother land and pride,
Shines so bright that it cannot fade,
Today we hear,`Kenyan athletes bring home,
Bronze,Silver and Gold,'
Tomorrow,``The Kenya Rugby 7's defeat New zealand again.''

The Maasai culture came up with the Akala sandals,
Which are made out of...

Open Letter to you,

MY LOVELY HATE SPEECH
I hate my speech today, yesterday and the day dust rises.
I was there opening my eyes carelessly, smiling like an idiot
I was gazing shamelessly, walking like an idler without course
Little did I notice my vehicle lose direction; little did...

the episode took place near the sewer
the boy lay lifeless on the stiff ground
his white clothes dipping in red
a rowdy mob encircled him
like vultures awaiting the surrender of a fighting  spirit
his horrified eyes gave their last look
but no one dared to move a finger

yet...

Open Letter To The Golden Black Angel

The black angel on earth, the one proud of her skin
The hot chocolate in Africa, the one with glorious power
The ebony strength beneath the sun, the one full of sensuous splendor.

The golden black angel, the one flying the clouds
The...

I've always loved lizards, which explains a lot, 
My youth spent exploring what others would not. 
Our days at the park would find me in pursuit
Of speedy blue bellies (in long dry swim suit.)	
A butterfly net I'd adapt for the chase
Or plastic container I grabbed...

We heard it over the radio 

We heard it over the radio and I don’t know if it’s true
It was today at the gathering by the village square
The chief had just bought new batteries so everyone was there
The newsman sounded excited as he spelled out...

My African woman, you earthly diamond that glitters before my eyes
My African angel, you heavenly star that shines in my smoky feelings
My African queen, you precious gem that settles in my webby heart
My African goddess, you succulent pebble of love
My African miracle, you smoke in...

Letter to My Choice:

From the skies, the dust, the stars, mars and the creatures in Venus
From the mind, the soul, my blood and the pounding of our hearts,
From romance, to emotions and the intimacy of our souls,
The voices from my inner soul that sees the...

Bats ran on opposite directions searching for mate
Chasing each other across the skies 
Chilly evening, company anyone could contemplate 
Crickets too sung to the sundown melodies 

An old man sat outside his old hut
Reminiscing his old days beside a blaze
Eyes up as if there's something...

My sons and daughters
You sing no song of daylight 
For the sun is your enemy
You sing instead of shadows and darkness 
And the memories of your midnight meetings

Turning twists and turns of events 
Have rendered me sleepless
In grave you laid me to rest
Booms and bombs...

Tasting Africa (One L****ick at a Time) Part 2
(Though the title's a joke, my limericks are not!)

5. Yet Another World Wonder
Feel like now I am older I need to admit
A Safari to Africa costs quite a bit!
Climb Kilimanjaro? (1)
(Hmm? Maybe tomorrow!)
For this peak soars from...

Masterpiece of pain 

Each night is a masterpiece of pain 
that lingers in her broken heart 
trying to find what was 
and what is now

she sips memories and lives 
the curse of love in her cozy 
domicile where in the midst
 of broken stars she...

FAR AWAY FROM HOME

Far away from home
wandering in the dark nights
___lonely woods
lost in the world of love
the romantic scenes 
playing, tickling your nipples...
(massage in your breasts)
a kiss for the moon
and a sin for the stars
swallowing the gloomy night

A poet is a poem

A beautiful line pregnant with wisdom,
Crafted by the mighty hands of nature.
Birds beg him to sing,
In the middle of the night
And at the dawn of day.

A poet is a poem,
The history that's untold,
Sad tales and fantasies,
Touches of romantic nights,
Of life and...

Where were you?
____the days were dark
abyssal nights
Swallowing my love
when his soul was leaching;
fading into nothing

Where were you?
when he lied on his head,
stood with his tongue
and shed blood;his eyes
Pleading for mercy
in the filthy hands of devii

where was thy Divine power?
__spring of eternal water
for the thirst of...
