Tom Mboya, son of Ndiege
From the craggy islands of Rusinga
--the craddle of his progenitors

And out to the urbs he sets off his journey
A parlous journey to his martyrdom

Only on his palm were cowries
And thread-cloaked bullhorn found.
Only on his neck we found 
The  coral beads of truth and courage.
Only on  his hands lies the
Pearl of selflessness and 
Emblem of  Pedantry.
Only...

I was a mean-spirited, remorseless boy
when it came to get revenge
with the boldest outrage...
Joey never suspected foul play from me!


We were the cruelest classmates,
bullying on the weak and skinny ones;
emptying out their pockets and confiscate
their...

amphetamines acquaintanceship assuages 
agonizing aches also advocates amorousness
assiduously activating admiration
aggressive attacks assault afoul 

affable affinity and affectionadumbration
anatomical accidental addiction attested as academic,
although afterward abnegation absolutely arduous,

Education has never deluded me,
it is a rich mine from which my gemstones are extracted;
and all of them can adorn with its brilliance 
a king's crown, but the glitter on my silver pendant...

To all who have been faithful, and also those who’ve sinned,

The best way to describe myself:
is this insightful awareness
of being too attentive and perceptive
in the middle of conversations;
anticipating words before they are spoken,
astonishing others with my answers...
and my concepts don't offer advice,
but rather a view...

If you could change World History

If you could alter World History,
What would you change and why.
Choose with care and astuteness,
Or someone that lived, might die.

So, he cannot Captain the ship.

Where's that derisive phantom hiding? Why is he so cunning?
There are thousands of graves
exposed to hovering ravens...
searching for cold flesh just buried in the thick fog slowly rising!


I seem to hear a distant laughter...come out

Windhoek, 2000

Nabucodonosor! thou shouldst be living at this epoch:
Namibia hath desire of thee: she is a quagmire
Of quiet rainwaters: slab, blade, and cage,
Inglenook, the courageous fortune of manor and retreat,
Have sacrificed their primeval culture talent.

But...

Nefarious faces with pale cheeks,
dulling your senses with narcotics;
and dangerously staring at others
whose clement destiny
isn't called squalid poverty,

All can be spared by the dint of astuteness,
making amends and becoming...

This effervescent appetite
To cuddle and huddle 
Your warmth and plum;
Your bush, green,
Wild life and natural sunshine 
A craving, gushing down
Like a torrent of water
From a million feet of water falls; 
A reminisce of a colorful...

Second creation of delicate flesh,
lured by the Serpent's astuteness,
why did you promptly reach for that apple
and invited me to taste it and eat it all?

There's no sharper pain than being
a crucified Christ who screams while long nails
pierce his palms and people mock him with laughter;

what He suffered to redeem Mankind...

Creativity given to a pen
moved by a thoughtful man,
divulges ideas with a steady rhythm...
not minding noises, just writing what pleases him.

He looks shy, timid, and withdrawn, as though he knows nothing.
Yet, astuteness whirls in him like monsoon floods in a dam.
He is an ace at intuitive thinking and judging.
He's a lively lion, though he looks...

INTELLECTUAL HEART
______________________

A scholar can be prosperous.
An intellectual heart is divine.

Twins, a million miles apart. 
Parallel they trek, the rugged road.

Its only if and when they meet.
Burden of life's journey is eased.

Refuse their union?
Your soul will...

The noisy and sluggish widgeons came,
scattering the wickerwork of a dame,
once married to a man deaf and lame;
they willfully did it without shame!

Only Krishna could have cheered her up with his flute,
they went too far,...

Not in quiet slumber spend time alone
Or in rich places with societies'
Cream of the crop, but in reading tone
Upon tone of richness; varieties

That soupy mixture of different beans,
