Am just but a foriegner ,in this vile land, I find no comfort,i see no peace, This is alien,the food tasteless, The water salty,the trees dry quick. Am just but a traveler ,passing through this valley, No hope nor future,am doomed to death, I cant uprooot a grass,the mountains i cant shake , The custom is weak ,their grace a nuisance. Am just...

THE BEAUTY OF KENYA
There is this universal respect For Kenya, before it becomes a colony A land where rich and poor alike Knew no divide, only unity. You see This is the beauty of Kenya: Diverse in their ways of life Yet bound by unreserved love and kindness. Like threads woven into a vibrant fabric Each Kenyan heart...

Premium Member The Slopes of Kilimanjaro
From the lofty snowcapped peaks of Kilimanjaro The morning mist envelopes its verdant foothills in a tight embrace, No need to hurry, this is not a race, Beads of sunlight dancing across the glistening dew. As the plains of Amboseli reveal their golden hue, There's movement spied where none existed moments prior, A herd of Zebra lounging in their elegant attire, The lush...

It has gemstones of ivory, opal, and it shines beyond measure. I doubt that I will ever meet the craftsman in this world. But this locket is valued, the gemstones are swirled. Artisan...

Kenya
Born in Mambo Thiari, the street of my homeland Kenya. With wildlife attractions that you can witness Of the results from the earth's splitting force Obama’s father is from the same soil.

From the gorgeous, captivating plains To awe-inspiring mountain ranges With...

I’ve heard tell of some suicide cult in Kenya; Poor folk pledged to starve themselves to death For God’s glory, and so malevolent surgeons Can harvest their organs for profit in trade. Well, I’ve been to Kenya, and I can say this: Mombasa seemed quite exotic with its Sculpted elephant tusk archway granting Unfettered access to the Year...

Letter To Kenyan Voter
I quit I throw my hands down and sit, sometimes they called for reconciliation without justice They called for justice without truth Now they ask for prayer without confession, umpteenth, it chafes Has dishonesty made you inadequate to let go the desecration infringement negligence graft shame of these violations which bake violence? Yet another fifth year our memo calls us to speak See how they dance under a canopy...

Deserted Kenya
Ramah Prince looked at the warped ruler in his hands and felt sparkly. He walked over to the window and reflected on his pretty surroundings. He had always loved deserted Kenya with its ordinary, open oceans. It was a place that encouraged his tendency to feel sparkly. Then he saw something in the distance, or rather someone....

Barrack Obama Full American
I have seen the black face of his Kenyan father With whom he didn’t go farther: an absolutely Black Papa Describing not the Diaspora Rappa, His loudest trumpets for Jomo, As Barak’s nearly were for The Homo: Safer A self –reclaiming returnee Than an ever groping escapee: Better Kenya’s social leper Than an American on paper And heard have I of his unique white...
