IMMINENT LIBERATION OF KENYA

 
IMMINENT LIBERATION OF KENYA

Liberation knows no tribe; it transcends boundaries and resonates with the souls of all, regardless of race or religion. When the youth unite, liberation will be evident everywhere. 
This is the liberation we have been waiting for.

There will be an end to the killings by police officers. The youth will stand

foreign

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 MemberThe 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

Kenya kangaroo flying colorful kaleidoscope kite
gnawing nimble gnashy night crawlers on Nairobi’s night
enticing enthusiastic Englewood eagles, filling them with excite
making melodious music, merrymaking magic as they might

Premium MemberOde To Artisan From Kenya

Artisan from Kenya worked hard on my locket.
I thought I had lost it, but it was in my pocket.
Have had many compliments on this one-of-a-kind treasure.
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

Premium MemberKenya Is Center of the World

no sun like an African sun
her waters turn a pinkish red
are those zebras or unicorns?
nothing surprises me here
Kenya is a magical place
center of the world

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.
Close encounters with Africa's hardest hunt
To the world, Kenya is leading the force.
As a safari destination, we have no remorse.

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

Premium MemberKenya

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

The Shakahola Massacre

Be Not Afraid 
When God Says so
everything is  permitted
The genocide on screens 
was sanctioned from heaven 
800 acres 800 graves
In the name of God 
Their Journey was hastened 
The heavens were opened
"I saw visions of God."
Ezekiel was preaching

Be not Afraid 
The Government has faith 
The chief was ordained 
His cup was brimming 
A

My Women Are Tragic

My women are Tragic
My women are as cute as kittens 
My women are tired of the pussy
My women still don’t give me their kitty’s
My women say I am privileged and entitled 
My women wash my  face to serve my meals
My women are tragic, and I don’t love them for it

My women are tragic
My women

Kenya My Religion

This is not just talk 
This is not just thought 
I really mean it 
I really Am  It
Kenyan 
You may not understand how Kenyan
Mimi mgenge mimi ni genge
Kenya is my religion
The altar to my being
The mother to my generations 
All father when I am in need 
But this does not mean 
That I am

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.

One Day Away

I was asked why I always 
Give kids on my streets few shillings 
Even though 
The street has no memory
It will kill me when it needs 
It is really selfish 
I answered  
They have held it together
That’s better than I would
I recognise I am a day away 
One bad day away from 
Waking up
