Cell Like Poems


We Forget That Grief Is Close To Fear

My skin is aching,tender, loss  has pierced
My heart needs walls, its boundary has gone
I miss the touch of love from him so dear

A belt of metal pins  brought me tears
Why suffer this till I  am quite undone?
My skin is aching,tender,  by loss pierced

We forget that grief is close to fear
Then alone, we panic, what’s to come?
I ache without the love from him so dear

Psychotic with no unity, who steers?
My head  is so remote,I have no plan
My skin is aching,tender, by loss pierced

Cursed be the One who made our sphere
Since Eden went,by  so called  sin undone
I ache without the love from  someone dear

I should   get my cell, like Julian
Hide inside the church wall, will Love come?
My skin is aching,tender, loss  has pierced
Uncaressed by him  whom I held dea

Magufulization

Slenderly community 
The land of sobers
Enough for plunderers 
Ground of Ivory
Home of diamond and gold
Is now Magufulized 

No more embezzling
Lazy are working
Respecting their roles
No more liquoring  
This is the land
We all dreamed by

Reviving the airline
Is the biggest witchcraft 
7 wings were booked 
5 have already landed 
I enjoyed several trips
It is a miracle that exist!

The giant is shining
Suffocating capitalist
As much as fraudulent
For they are terribly squeezed 
In jail cell like shanties 
For they lacked patriotism
By smuggling national cake

Go Magu, go!
Dig down to their pockets
Suffocate them deeply
Till dehydrated completely 

Do more, do!
Open the roads for business to grow
Build flyover for traffic to perish
Construct SGR for easy transportation
Do the stieglers to boost economy
Our thumbs are yours 2020
 For ant corrupt Tanzania

Thieves

Data theft on social media
Thief caught, confesses, apologises
Authorities pose questions, listen to answers
Q & A session ends, warned, asked to tighten lapses
Thief walks free like a king 

Theft in a social function
Thief caught, confesses, apologises
Authorities interrogate, pin him down with crime
Remand ends, cuffed, send him to jail 
Thief walks to prison cell like a criminal

High end thief is no thief
He is "framed and trapped" by others 
Bottom end thief is real thief
He is "pushed and punished" by own hunger 
One roams free, other groans in cell

I Do Not Belong

Is this Earth I walk, obliged to my own two feet
Is the sky above, constrained to hiding my tears
Every loud roar, brings not fear, but peace
Just like the knowledge, that I fell deceased

Tell me, does a mother cry, when a child falls beneath
For if she does, forever shall I breathe
Through this agony and sorrow, through all the screams I hear
Locked in a cell, like the people of the land I bleed
But it is not my body, but my soul that is weak
It is not a way out, but strength that I seek
I wish a poet could describe this pain I feel
An artist to draw that night I fear
The echoes of all my peers
Fallen angels, victims to a disease
Too cursed to live, so blessed to leave
I wonder is it my destiny
Or did destiny flee the moment the first rifle sang that evil song
One by one, they were all gone
And I wonder
Is this world my own
For I feel, that I do not belong

Whats' Up Wit That

whats' up wit that
standin on the corner sellin that crack
it ain't sittin right into the night
they come to you 
moms' and babies too
its your call
do you wanna fall
into the cell, like the pitt of hell
when you face that jack
better watch your back
yo, Christ is real
he'll cut you a deal
he said come to me
what ever you've done, i want you to run
flee to me where u can be free
many may say it can't be done
you're one of his sons
an heir to a promise, a giver of life
be set free, you will see
repent today and see the way, let me show you in the word not what i heard
i know for a fact, he got your back, cause i was one who brought your crack

Absence of Hate

Absence of Hate 

This man Anders a mass murderer sits in his cell like a gigantic 
spider spinning a web of curiosity we get entangled in. 
We ask questions he cannot answer, and if he could we would
not like to hear. Endlessly his case will go on learned men will
write weighty books that will create more questions as there
are no valid answers but theories of why the cataclysm happens.
Forget him as you forgot last winter’s snow, let him disappear
In the labyrinth for the criminally insane; and when he dies, this   
may be sooner than you think, do not make a big headline out 
of his demise. Let the parents of dead children mourn in peace.

Emotions Untold

How do you explain these emotions untold?
Wanting that one person to have and to hold.
These feelings within that i want to release.
Overcoming my body like an infectious disease.
Spreading through with every beat  of my heart.
I can't stand for us to be this far apart.
These feelings growing stronger as the time passes by.
I have to get my mind off of you before I break down and cry.
It's all building up like pressure inside a can.
If I break down how can i even call myself a man?
Trapped inside this cell like a beast inside a cage.
Only the penitentiary can turn love in to rage.
I'm trying to hold back and keep this heart from growing cold.
Then again how do you explain emotions untold??
