Days of Our Lives

First day of our life
The mother is ecstatic
Finally her pains and burdens are over
Ululations and congratulations are on
Could even be the next president
But father is in tears
Camouflaged as honest joy
Another big mouth to feed

Second day of our life
The priest is ecstatic
Finally another person in line for tithe
Could even be the next pope
But mother is in tears
Camouflaged as the touching by the word
Village thugs and whores praying for you
Another statistic of robbery without violence

Third day of our life
The teacher is ecstatic
Finally someone to be the Aristotle to their Plato
Could even be the next Einstein
But priest is in tears
Camouflaged as tears for absolution
Lawyers and politicians consecrating you
Another greedy scholar on the rise

Fourth day of our life
The couters are ecstatic
Finally we love being in love
Could even get married bells ringing
But teacher is in tears
Camouflaged as being proud of you
Another dumb romantic who never learns



Fifth day of our life
We are very ecstatic
Finally we made a new life
Could it be the need to sustain bliss human mediocrity?
But our sweethearts are in tears
Camouflaged as being happy for you
Another one escapes dying alone

Sixth day of our life
Grandchildren are ecstatic
Finally someone else full of laughter and ambition
Could it be their I-phone is the only new thing under the sun?
But we are in tears
Camouflaged as pain in our backs
Another generation who don’t know how short life is

The last day of my life
The better angels inside my head are mourning
Finally I am someone who lived in this world
Could it be because I will be forgotten?
But grandchild is happy
Camouflaged as tears for losing you
Just another man without legacy gone

To Kill the Dead

As I stand by my coffer
Like the Ganges let my tears cleanse your soul
For I go to fight my demons 
And the cheers from the arena will echo through the world 
Let them forever whisper the moments we had 
For I learnt to kill the dead 

As I sit by my grave 
“I am not dead till you forget “in stone engrave
And this termites will feast me till am nothing I Rest in Distress
Let the soil absorb my sorrows
And the fruits remind you of the happiness we felt
For I learnt to kill the dead

As I sleep in the kiln
The world is my urn scatter me by the sea
And in the deepest trenches let my sins sink like debris
Let the wind Whisper my greatest deeds 
 And by your lips my legend will live
For I learnt to kill the Dead

As I take my seat in the Hades 
The everlasting fire warm my soul I am cold 
Burn my pain to ashes purify me to grace 
Let the screams be music to your ears 
Get a drink cheers my life celebrate  
For I learnt to kill the dead

Dead Friends Live Through Me,

I have lost a lot of friends
A lot of my friends from back then
Time has stolen them from me
I am not even certain
Of how they met their end ‘
But you specifically 
Do you remember
In Nursery school, we used to play
Eat dirt, swing and slay monsters all-day
But now I can’t even remember your name
Rest in peace my friend You will always live as a part of me

I have lost a lot of friends
A lot of my friends from back then
The distance between us stole them from me
I am not even certain
If their end was excruciating or sudden and easy
But you specifically.
 Do you remember?
In primary school
you always let me copy mathematics
When Mrs. Githafu was checking and marking
We were at the back bench laughing waiting for breaks
Just so we could play
I am so sorry I can’t even remember your name
It’s been too long since then
Rest in peace my friend You will always live as a part of me


I have lost a lot of friends
A lot of my friends from back then
Life just stole them from me
I am not even certain
If in the end they saw a light or was it just darkness?
But you specifically.
 Do you remember?
We met during the music festivals
Back in Nakuru, when we were in high school
Some of my friends who are dead like you
Pushed me to say hi
I remember your smile, it was so beautiful
Your replies, you were so kind
But your name
I am so sorry I can’t remember your name
Rest in peace my friend You will always live as a part of me

I have lost a lot of friends
A lot of my friends from back then
My search for more stole them from me
Buried under the thousands of followers just for the sake of numbers
But you specifically.
 Do you remember?
I remember the excitement of my first Facebook friend
Back in 09’
my first Instagram post with a double tap
Back in 12’
They were all from you, my biggest friend I never met
But you forgot to send me an invite to your burial
Still, I can’t quite remember your name
Rest in peace my friend You will always live as a part of me

P O V

We can't be the same me and you?
You think of how long before you die
I think, how long before I kill myself?
You would reckon it is  an intresting bet 
Count me in I got 100 on the next day

Three Wise Monkeys

Must our eyes even when we blind see
I closed my eyes but   Zipporah D ‘Ead was aborting the Evil
Zipporah says Kevin Daddy closed her eyes not to see
And that mother sees but to her it’s no Evil
Remember my daughter all we have is nothing you have to see
Until it’s too late we must see no Evil

Must our ears even when we deaf Hear
I closed my ears but Mama Zipporah was screaming like she saw something Evil
Kevin Daddy says she is stupid she want supposed to hear
And that Zipporah my sister died of nature not Evil
Zipporah my saint pray for mother I need you to Hear
And don’t forget she did her best but too late she is not evil
Remember in this our world money buys ears they all can’t Hear
Until it’s too late we must hear no evil

Must our mouths even when we Dumb Speak
And closed his mouth but Kevin Daddy drunk in his straitjacket must be something Evil
Zipporah and her mother he says to him they speak
Another one they say cray like the world it’s Evil
Remember the voices in our heads shouldn’t Speak
Until it’s too late we must speak no Evil

Bad Marriage

My life is playing me
                              The whore that it is
                        Patient zero got it from her
               The whole world is without protection
                                              
                             My life is beating me
                                 The rod that it is
                The whales can’t ever stop moaning
                My whole world is with pain pollution
                                             
                             My life is breaking me
                                 The rock that it is
                        All quarries would be empty
       The whole world made of sand from a gods imagination
                                              
                              My life is scarring me
                            The raw wound that it is
                           A bed of corpses less gory
           My whole world is graveyard for hope and salvation
                                               
                              My life is leaving me
                           The whole time that it is
            My screams and shouts can’t even reach her
           The whole world racing to unknown destination
                                                
                              My life is killing me
                                The load that it is
             Drainages clogged, latrines like her mouth flowing
        My whole world pushing problems to disinfecting solution

40 Days

My heart is heavy today 
It has nothing to do with the first day
Her smile like my effort, Impressive 
Her hair dyed and buried the queens how majestic 
Her beauty so be witching 
Who knew the devil as an angel? 
Trust me feels like good luck  for more than a moment 
But the torture in a second 
More than the thirst of 40 days 

My heart is heavy today 
It has nothing to do with valentine the day 
That moment like the all Seeing Eye Iconic
The roses, the champagne and cake all eyegasmic 
My happiness true like this words 
Who knew the devil as an angel? 
I’m sure God, Jesus and (because I am tired) the rest
My ignorance pierced my Armor of knowledge 
My funeral less painful I will be a sleep I can bear 
This is more than the thirst of 40 days 

My heart is heavy today 
It has nothing to do with her kind soft touch 
My tears like the story of my life just flowing 
My pain just like my nails keep growing 
My heart just like my will broken 
Who knew the devil as an angel?
I must have, but the dance was so inviting 
The pale moonlight a scene so romantic 
Then to witness the murder of Joy; a pain so corrosive
More than the thirst of 40 days 

My heart is heavy today 
It has everything to do with the one who left 
The words like cupid’s arrows piercing 
The memories we made like my love for you indispensable 
But the pain caused make me wish you drown unsavable 
Pretending to be fine like the sands by the sea 
But my wound to heal I hope for the sands of time 
Who knew the devil as an angel?
Trust me I did 
It was fun while it lasted 
I pray to make it through my thirst of 40 days

Your Fault

It was not your fault 
you hit me daily but did not discipline me 
It is not your fault
I learnt to lie when you were looking for the truth
It is not your fault 
I became who I am when you needed to be proud 
It is not your fault 
You did your best for me to become the worst
It is not your fault 
I am full anger that can burn the world
It is not your fault 
That I think if I am dead the world is better off
It is not your fault
You forced church on me and Somehow I lost god 
It is not your fault 
I  fall in love and only experience dread 
It is not your fault 
I sit by myself even when the whole family is with me 
It is not your fault 
That I feel trapped within so much freedom
It is not your fault 
It cannot be because I did not listen to you.
It is not yout fault 
You did all this for me and I feel like It was done to me

Dreamer

Chorus
 
Never give up or 
Put yourself down 
Never hate this 
Tis just for loves 
Never wake up be a dreamer 
Till your dream your life 




Verse 1
Don’t pinch me
 this dream 
This cars 
this house just for me 
am joseph better coat
finer things stain my soul 
j s on designer sole 
made for the shine like a mirror 
about the money like a banker 
straws to all my haters 
so y all can suck it 
money talks 
cheddah in my hands 
Im holding conversation 
So good  a dirty mind 
You cant brain wash 
Your god deleted you 
now you are not saved 
Believe in you then 
Get money till they say amen 
Dad says its never too late till you dead 
I cant ever be the late 
So I 
Work and work and work 
And I 

Chorus 

Verse 2 
Don’t pinch me 
This moment 
This feeling 
This crown 
Just for me 
Am martin luther 
Better style 
Am no hoe land 
Even with a dyke 
You wont stop my flow 
Always do it for you 
or you get a crown of thorns 
They will stab you in the back 
if you save em all 
like the joker keep smilling 
please my heart keep beating 
where is my throne
needs titling 
lost my mind 
quit looking 
if its love keep falling
always keep time 
like your life 
don’t waste it 
find yourself or you lose your chance for greatness 
it’s a marathon till you run the world 
so run and run and run 
and please 

chorus 

bridge 
everyone goes to sleep 
but all don’t dream 
you are special 
may your work make men and angels cry 
 when it gets so hard like constipation 
when the suns up high and its all trepidation
looking for salvation 
and all is damnation
 sleep honey 
dream darling 
and please honey 

chorus *2

The Wisdom of the Sun

In a night where the sons of sons sat under the stars
My father’s father told the sons of the wisdom of the sun
The beauty of the world is beheld in who we love
To live and to die  they are all we try to have
A feeling that we love, that we are loved by the one 
The one who breaks our heart, our souls they starve
The one you love will never love enough

In the same night when the sons of sons sat under the stars
My father told the sons of the wisdom of the sun
The eyesore of the world is our love of the mirror
Our confidence constructed on a surface of silver
Our charity creeps from the mountain of useless surplus
Just so they say we are as kind as they say they are
We sweat and sin just that we see them sin and sweat
The only love we trust is love by us, for us, by things like us

Still on that night when the sons of sons sat under the stars
I told the sons of the wisdom of the sun
The fairness of the world lies in forgiveness and sin
We all are sons from sin and of sin
We all are looking for a little peace just so we could sit
Always going everywhere and heading nowhere
Searching for atonement through the accursed
So we made God from our trepidation for our own redemption

On that night when the sons of sons sat under the stars
The son of sons told the sons of the wisdom of the sun
The plainness of the world is found in unsocial socializations
We are all alone, our tears are our accomplice
They teach us to be us yet they don’t know us
They create us in the image of their exalted desires
We are a canvas painted in their own narcissi
Brushed in a light so dark hoping we get drawn for them
