Give Peace a Chance Part 2
Yet Africa is
expected to fall in
line 
With speed and
alacrity 
Or be headed back to
Europe 
For much deserved
censure
And sanitization in
the heart
Of brutish Europe!
Have we not seen
them in action
At Treblinka and
Auschwitz, brother
With their atomic
bombs in Hiroshima
With their...

Double Standards
When one makes viable peace 
Between erstwhile colonial whites 
And erstwhile colonized blacks 
To the advantage of the whites

Such was the case in South Africa. 

‘It is all for...

Open Letter to you,

I Forgive You
I forgive you my dear country
And her ignoramuses
To my televangelists who prophesy 
earthquakes
And hellfire
Instead of love and forgiveness
So they steal from the poor
To buy miracles from God;
To my shopkeeper who doubles the 
price
Of flour at...

The Cry of a Mere Kenyan
The CRY OF A KENYAN.

Our one and only treasure

The Shakahola Massacre
Be Not Afraid 
When God Says so

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...

Land of Hearts--Blitz For Contest
British wanted profit
British wanted new land
Land rich in resources
Land of ivory and coffee
Coffee British could sell
Coffee Kenyans could not

British farmed fertile soil
Soil was Kenyan...

Say No To Election Violence
I was young and tender.
Innocent and naive.
More than a decade ago.
But no one can erase.
In my mind well imprinted.

We lost souls
We buried them in the soils.
Some left lying on the ground.
Looking for justice we said.
Can...

Behold our beautiful flag,
The symbol of our patriotism,
The pride of blackness of Kenyans,
The redness of blood for independence,
The green highlands we cherish,
The whiteness of our peace and love 
With the shields and arrows to defend...

On Our Knees
Dear Kenyans,
Say this after me.

Dear God,
Teach us how to live.
How to keep the brotherhood.
The one we had for the last five years.

That you're the one who...
