Rest In Peace

*Wish*
???GONE WAS GONE.

Sometimes we wish,
That the past was here,
When we had friends,
But in one morning were gone,

They went to the land we believe,
The belief we found from our ancestors,
That they will raise at the end of time,
And wish we would embrace them,

Share with them the time they have been away,
The pain of seeing their paradise tombs,
And the memory of their coffin going down,
Reminder that they left us with no words,

Pain to the family they left behind,
Especially when the mom went and left her daughter or son,
The soft whispers from a mothers mouth,
Others left babies who didnt know the pain,

When at this time the pain is different when the memory hits,
They ask about it but none to explain,
May the great people continue resting in peace,
Sometimes im in worry,can
 they see us here,

Can they own a fon hoping they remember our contacts,
Can the mom call her daughter who is stranded in the ruthless street,
May be from accident or sickness they were gone,
Sometimes the children needs the prove,

People we knew and hoped for a change in us through them,
Death is cruel it took the perfect half of the family,
It took the half life of the family,
And there they are surviving under that condition,

God wanna guide us to our destination,
God will prove his hand to us without them,
And God will still stand with us as if they are still with us,
Then the left will be comforted and from such grieve they may not suffer again.

Continue resting in peace dead soul??????

From My Mouth To God's Ear

Dear God,
My sining nature has taken me to hell already,
As i feel today im not okay,
My sins have blindfolded you,
That you cant hear me,

But today my soul is against me,
My whole body is reluctant to take my heart,
And on behalf of myself you can change me,
Im humbled to get these composed words for you,

Sometimes despite my sins i goes through the bible,
You taught us to be humble and confess,
Dear God my sins are more than my words,
I have neglected the words of my heart and thy holy book,

Do forgive me once again,
Dont count me among the dead and cursed,
Grant me another chance to live,
I just plead from my changed heart
Please listen to me.

Media and Technology

MEDIA AND TECHNOLOGY
_*Dafina Catens 

Welcome to media
Where been single is proposing to everyone
Asking for help will get more likes than comments
Fake news will be made true
The new catch will always be someones ex
And the best friend will always betray you

Welcome to media
Where your followers are your enemies
Where money will make all women slay
Where we post to attract friends and sweet comments

Welcome to media 
Where a daughter and her mother are fighting for the same man
Where a phone will charge in use
Where all phones open by fingerprints and facial 
Where success is posting your inner life to be known
Where marriage is a competition between evil and holy

Welcome to media
Where heaven is on earth
Where Jesus and God can argue 
Where the dead can make jokes and entertain us
Where immorality is the key over success
Where we met friends we end up killing us
Where we learn to be criminals from people we dont know

Welcome to media
Where a father is preying on her own daughter
Where the cities are against the rural lives and beliefs
Where parents take us to school to please the neighbours
Where marriage is for lovers irregardless of the tribe and clan
Its media where you will lose your own money to someone making money without jobs,
Welcome to media your sister is your lover
Education is no longer the key to success

Welcome to media
Where we choose our own religion to win
Where having more women is riches 
Where happiness is when you are spreading Hiv  and advertising
Where your body is harmed to succeed

Welcome again to media where everything is going to change
Where you will be lost in moral and principles
Where you will be posted after suicide
Where jokes will be laid over serious issues,
Where hatred among people comes 

Welcome new comer you are not late to learn

Early Pregnancies

TEEN PREGNANCY 

In hospital and streets 
Estates and villages
Huge boards
Printed and written

But worldwide it still happens
Every morning and every night
With none taking responsibility
Its like curses and evil ghosts hailing us

We hate young girls
We cast them as cheap and lust filled
They have done what they intended to
But they were forced...the other gender forced them

It has come to close eye under search
It has ruined the close relationship of gender
Yes you taught them in school and non governmental houses
But they had no choice for resistance

May be poverty fumed im all corners of their homeland
And the option came with consequences
They took risk for rescue
Don't cast them out of their fathers gates

Lets all stand and confess for hatred
Lets love them and give company
Support where necessary 
For what happened and gave a result is an achievement!

Bad Memory

I need to start again
Though i still have the pain
That you left before the rain
And my heart left under chain

I have to plan it 
And get myself the kit
Leave all the memories as they hit
Because when i remember i think i can sit

Oh memories allow me to tear
Because the dead have no cheer
You were gone and i have to proceed and bear
I send off the memory when im near

I will have a new page
Planned with everything for my age
Even at the last page indicated my wage
Remember its the new beginning of the savage

I will have to forget
That you existed like bet
And have the match set
Untill my mind turns to be that of a go getter!

Furnish my mind once more
Get words of a counsellor
Make new ways that takes me to the core
And get myself a new battle for war!

Village Death

VILLAGE DEATH.

Where are the old men
Lets visit the sacred tree
Offer sacrifices
Pour libations
For the village is perishing

Maybe the old graves are ugly
Or they are angry at us
They are hungry
Its long they saw food on their tables

Tell you mothers sons and daughters
To  come for a cleansing ceremony
Ask them to be traditionists
Let them carry the remains im their grandmas huts

Ask the elder fathers of the clan
To get the attires for the event
We are at pain
And wont live among graves

Lets not accuse their culture
But to save the unborn
And the living
Lets embrace the culture
Abide by it

We will all bow down and pray
Cry and pour libations
To get back our lives
To confess and ask for forgiveness

Call back healers from their graves
Witches and soccerers from their wooden coffins
That they give back their knowledge
I know they hate us now
But after confessing
They will save us

G'Ender Violence

About love
Dafina_

The final i wished,
Because me he dumped,
By the side of the road,
When i was the old icon,
And rusted like iron,
Cold like dawn,

Wasted and wasted,
Hoping he would be changed,
Pleasing his nights in bed,
Hiding my eyes in darkness,
Just because marriage is a chess,
I cant quit it because i was taught to be a lioness,

The loyalty and trust of the community,
The always gave their daughter examples even the whole city,
That i got the best of my choice when i was pretending for acidity,
Deep in the dark spot of the night,
When cry was whispers out of fight,
I even rebuke their own spirit for thinking they were right,

And for a lady from that humble background,
Who can die in pleasing the man than telling the world,
Dying in the hands of the being from the same mad,
Or you can differentiate the moulder who gave superiority,
That the man should always be right and mighty,
I even curse the words of the night which i was taken to this city,

Im ashamed and mocked for saving my own life,
Im casted and cursed when i chose to be safe,
No one understands me except those in offices taking coffee in the cafe,
So they wanted to see the end of the game,
They needed me in the war when i was lame,
Why does the world understand why i came,

Because domestic violence has increased death,
In the name of the community which cant breath,
In the name if religion women are suffering to death,
No more kick those words and build a strong word,
Leave sadness in darkness and face the world,
Be happy and instead if dying young die old.

Corruption

CORRUPTION

Deep rooted evil
As a result of the decorruption sack invaded by weavil
And the chief guest the civil

It was never planted but here is its yield
Everyday reports that the minister died
Cost of living ruined
To get a favour bribe is the food

Corrupted men and women in great seats
Holding beautiful lands and with fork they eats
Their brains have drained and no job they does
All the way corruption to the government offices

Corruption among leaders who we elect
But our needs they have tribalism to select
Now listen whoever loves corruption is an insect
And the poisonous virtue they inject

Its shame to fail in life for corruption
Cases in courts are in eruption
But corruption is all their mission
The law is changed the corrupt enjoy corruption

To the government and the governed
How can corruption be brought to an end
How can a broken glass be made
Sorry we are suffering from our own mind

Saynotocorruption

He Cheated On Me

Dafina catens

 ```He cheated```
He cheated and said im the liar,
Aty me ni elder wa brothel me ni malaya,
Akapack... madem ni wengi akaishia ulaya,
Sina ubaya bro ulinipata kwa choir,

He cheated on me na madem wa campo,
Aty im the main one ka movie za Rambo,
Alinipenda ka his only dish chapo,
Take care akienda campo uko kuna mambo,

He cheated on me coz sikuwa available,
After ameniambia anataka kwanza nisome Bible,
Ndo atleast niwe simple and humble,
Kumbe ilkuwa trap nikajipa trouble,

He cheated on me venye alipata slayqueens,
Akasema aty kingdom poa ni ile ya queens,
Na war poa si ya poor ni ile ya kings,
Akatry kunikeep off na all means,

He cheated on me na hio kujichocha,
Me ni bibi ya lawyer kitu iko rare ocha,
Wait ile sifa nilipewa kuitwa mtoto wa kocha,
Maringo mingi ka nimepewa million vocha,

He cheated on me akisema aty nikona machali
Na time niko off study ni kuuliza tu maswali
Visingizio tu me aty niko mbali,
Na hivo ndo tu niliachwa na hii ball.

He cheated on me na hio text ya i love you,
He cheated on me na i was like you,
Yeah alicheat na hio message im there for you,
He cheated while saying i need you!!!

My Son

Dear son
You are great than the sky
The whole there is your way
The high rooms we gat the key
And everyday you gives me what to pray

You are not of the days of odd
You made my warm world cold
And your age has made my beauty old
Im greatly happy to waiting to see you old

Each day you gat a new smile
Each day God takes you a mile
I haven't see you for a while
Wanna see you and give you the missile 

You are destined to win
You are made the king
And yet you they will sing
For.because you are the son of the queen

I love you son??
