Travel of Magi and Epiphany

What an appropriate and applicable poem for Epiphany.
Iasiah wote about this and what had happened to Christ.
TS Elliott also wrote Travel of Magi

On a long trip Magi would travel
They rode on a plodding camel
Over hills and through the sand
This is what God had planned.

By Isiah things were to be written;
On cross Jesus would be smitten;
From us all He was taken away
His second coming another day.

Some day son Jesus was here
Had  overcome our sin and fear
On a cross hung his each limb
We will always remember Him.

National Cathederal services
are great and to see them can
hardly wait.

Premium MemberBeacons of Light-

Beacons of light

haki
taa iko wapi
katika giza kubwa
kwanini jioni
kupofushwa na giza linalo kulia
iwe nyeupe au nyeusi Mwana ainuka
Mungu anatufanya wote kuwa Beacons za nuru

justice
where the light
in the formidable dark
why must the dusk
be blinded by the cries darkness of light 
be it white or black the Son rises
God makes us all Beacons of light

Lord you yet love me 
And I am so glad you do
Ninatubu kwa dhambi zangu
Zot. Bwana wewe bado upendo mimi
Sassssa mimi majuto nillipoteza
Mengi ya haki
Kwa sababu nilikuwa funga juu
Katika dhambi  zaangu
Na mimi alikuwa kufurahia kwao
Wakati wote
Tamaa na harufu, vizuri
Sasa mimi inafanyika ya wokovu

Have a Hiatus In Trump

a pause or gap in a sequence, series, or process.
"there was a brief hiatus in the war with France

Took a day off yesterday. Wote poems but did
not type them up. Here goes again. Jim Horn

Have A Hiatus In Trump

There seems to have been a big hiatus,
Trump had in smaall brain we did miss,
And McCain,
Drove insane;
Even bad mouthed people having bliss.

Spasiba- Ian Munywe

SPASIBA
Spasiba,
spasiba.
Kwa mwenyezi,
bila kipimo nakuenzi.
Spasiba,
spasiba.
Kwa mama ulileta duniani,
na kunilea.
Spasiba,
spasiba.
Kwa marafiki wa kikweli,
sio wahuni.
Spasiba,
spasiba.
Kwa wahusika wote wenye nia njema,
sio wenye sumu kwenye sindano.
Spasiba,
spasiba.
Kwa maadui washirikina na wenye fitina,
wasio na utu ila tu unafiki.	
Garagazano hili,
hamwezi.
Spasiba,
spasiba.

Suicide

suicide
is the pain worth taking?
will i be better at the end?
shall the pain stop hurting
and i be brand new?
should i wait till it's my time to go?
havent i suffered enough?
the pain is still hurting
the sickness gets worse
i just cant take it anymore
it is my time to go
"goodbye world" 
i wote on my last note
tears were strewaming down my face
but i knew it was a right thing to do
i kissed my cross 
and helded up my gun
pulled down the trigger
knowing i was gone
i saw a picture of me being as happy as can be
i knew i would be like that once more
