I’m a Kenyan 2.0,
With an ID to prove.
I own the code—254,
Been here since I was 0.

Son of Sleep, Father of Thunder

...Weeping walls of heralded hallows,
Sweetless seam of darkening shadows,
Seldom son of sickening honour,

Love Affair

This tree
Her man
Where sowed thy seed today?
Loving yet hating
A Vail of wall
Shields of a deceiver
Transparent filtering glass

To Whom does this come

...When bodies turn to ash and float in the wind
When whatever makes you, you follows
Floating.
You left your body, a hollow shell
Not you anymore
