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

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

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

Ode 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

Kenya 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

Kenya
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

You may not understand how Kenyan
Mimi mgenge mimi ni genge

The mother to my generations
All father when I am in need
But this does not mean

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
