Hypocrisy In the Church

sometimes I smile wondering how we were all moulded
With beings calling themselves true worshippers of God 
With this gospel of Christ that was spread by apostles
People led by the Holy Spirit and never loved the world
Thinking deep about this gospel that leads me book of
Psalms 1:2 where God meditates in His own word 
Day and night knowing that the word is Him 
Leaving me wondering why He created me
Giving me a clear reason that am Bound to worship Him
Many Christians are lost yet they represent spiritual kingdom
Logging ourselves in every Sunday mornings has been a habit
Criticizing the sacrifices made by true believers 
Forgetting that they stand by revelation 12:11
Where they conquered the devil  by the blood of the lamb
Christians are charged with hearts of jealousy and ill mannered
Forgetting the first love of Christ Jesus in the beginning

Making loudest noise and giving largest parts of their wealth
To cover the true selves of the demon that built an altar in their heart
Not forgetting Matthew 23:4 where they tie heavy cumbersome loads and let other Christians carry for them
Like Pharisees as Isaiah prophesied and said
They honour God with their lips but their hearts far from God
Where they speak of love  and are in light skipping 1 john 2:9
Whoever says is in the light and hates his brother is still in darkness
Smiling and nodding for Titus 1:16  where they profess to know God
But they deny Him by their works like the glaze covering an earthen vessel  are fervent lips with with an evil heart in proverbs  26:23-26
Feeling the agony of the Holy spirit of how His church 
Has turned to be a den of robbers by also
Rejecting the true way of Christ and avoiding paths of righteousness
Only to remember God in times of high tides and hurricanes
The house of God has been clothed with punctures of
Hypocrisy, greed, first class honours and taking advantage of weak souls
For the day of the Lord is coming running to revelation 22:12
Where He will pay according to our deeds 
Where will you be standing in the day of judgment
And what will you represent that day 
When all doors of help will be locked .

The One

Woke up today fantasizing about us in Proportion's of 10%
Where frankly I don't do 10% for my pastor but for you, I do
Counting 1+1+1=3  and there I am ' is that real' ?
Like for sure we 2 where I can say 1+1=2 but , you 2
Couldn't sleep last night waiting for that cuddle you offer
In portions of heart failure medication though,
My heart isn't broken but formed into pieces
Its no because you left but never understood that
Heart that gave everything to me without minding
You spit nothings all around my ears 'that's cruising'?!!
So trivial to understand real feelings 'do I ?
Seems like a diss but this is real how it feelings like
Sneaking to that one room and slipping myself
Doesn't earn even a little of that coin I earn though
I can make you the one if I have the sample of the offer

I found myself lying in your arms lost in bound love
Leaving my heart mending and bretting hard 
As feelings curve through my spine to my heart
Where my blood gush out through my vein in passion
Cos those feelings are hard to let go
By your touch my hair shimmered giving me
An infinite reason of that tight rejection that led to great affection 
It takes more of understanding for the issue to be treated
They say love is a demon, more like Medusa beautiful but evil
Draping my hands across your chest I can feel your heart pulsing in its own beat
Mindless of anything else apart from that moment
Where your breathe conquered with mine and
Twas a plain lie that still I was single
And imma make you the one

By your touch, love and care Jesus Christ
Am everything you have built in me
You gave back my being when I was lost in the dark forest of sins
Your love that's deeper than the sea
Grace that's been sufficient for me
Favours that are all over my life
You sat attentively to listen my worries
And gave me a bouncing comfort zone
This story of unfolded love is for you Jesus
No man can take or replace you either
No experienced love has ever conquered yours
In my mind, all night long I will keep on fantasizing
And above all created things I will make you THE ONE

It's Not Over

Twas' twilight night of doom
Where things would fall boom!
With scratching sound voom!
And my head started spinning

I thought of taking it solo
To that place felt like hollow
Thoughts I had weren't shallow
Can I try ending it now?

No! A voice of calming seas
Felt like dream having it overseas
Dreams maneuvering in daylight
Soothing the blossoming of my mind

A day of singing seemed in ending
And sorrows of a parody drifting 
Awaiting to the day of reviving 
The lost soul of issues emerging 

A big applause of my heartbeat 
Would feel like something hit
Holding some breathing kit
To my sorrows drifting to the reed

Angry Black

Yes, am an angry black whose heart  is frozen with anger
No dazzling star under the blue blanket of sky
Doesn't  have a meaning, purpose and direction 
Endless  questions that never sum up to the answer 
I need to know about racism 
Being born in Africa is the most beautiful  thing 
To have ever happened  in my lifetime 
When the scientists say you got treatment  for transformation 
Who the he'll said I wanna white? 
Cant imagine giving birth to little blacks
Who will wonder where the hell did we come from 
Am a beautiful  charming black girl
Some blacks are taken to middle east 
And get overworked like slaves in colonial times
And get deported  back paralyzed 
When will this ignorance  of taking advantage  stop?

My mind incorporates well with movement calculation 
When it comes to create a formula 
Think the way you think and reason same as you do
My skin colour shouldn't  be the reason
I don't need to tan nor to roast myself  
In the sun so as to get some skin colour
Black is gold, black is beauty, black is my secret
Am a unique African who legendary has a mesmerizing character 
won't allow monoric way of prioritizing issues
When it comes to Africa my motherland
Blacks ain't thugs,ghettos or civic leaders of welfare stereotypes 
All blacks should rise up and destroy  this 
Sordid stem of segregation, mistreatment and historic colony.

Strong Heart

Having been born in ghetto in Mathare, 
twas' my best place to have ever fallen for
Experiencing a short motherly love, 
that led to total absence  between the two of us
Fatherly love,  never  experienced  even for second 
Led me misfortunes into lots of hurts and misfortunes
never thought the world would turn it's back on me 
Going back to the place I used to Call 'gishagi'
Used to slang and perfect  English in ghetto
Landed me in new class of language heavy to speak
A deep cut of lasting trouble was to start experiencing
My hair cut for reason  'yetu huwa hailei nywele,
Never thought a person would go hungry 
Getting used to 'chapo, mcheti, and nyake
I know got used to kula mahindi nyeupe for supper
Striving hard to cope with  the situations 
This landed me to usitutawale huku sio Nairobi

Going to high-school I thought life would be easy
That fatherly love I missed would shadow me
Being naive a journey  of suffering  continued
Working till late and eating  when everyone  was asleep
Wile having supper I heard unakula nyama mono unaacha mifupa
Breakfast was no escort  for me in the house
Running for help to a relative who thought was nice
I forgot siku ya kwanza mkaribishe ya pill mpe jembe
Insults became a lifestyle, harassments were a routine 
Bitterness  cropped  my heart, vengeance clouded my soul
As I approached finishing my school this followed 
Nmesema kwangu uhame sikutaki tena hapa
Thinking of my future  this followed 
I don't think your better than my son 

Everything wasn't over till God says it's over
Twas' now a new beginning  for my life 
Still with struggles I waited patiently  like a parody 
All was made perfectly  for my Wellness 
What happened  was a foundation  for the future
When tides are high by his voice he calms it
When all is gone a new wind is coming for restoration 
When people hate more shore more love 
Stand on the firm ground that is Jesus Christ 
Everything  fell into place despite the challenges 
The despisers pretended to make it up
But a strong heart never gave up on forgiveness 
Current  situation shouldn't affect your destiny 
Many are the hailstones that hit us,obstacles that hinders
But true overcomes always win no matter what 
Life precious with God in ones side.

Confused

CONFUSED 
The echoes of a voiceless begun
Chattering enlarging through 
The rattling of restless thoughts
No! It couldn't be,  NO! Stop it! 
The cruising noise dimmed along
Aligning temporary scrutiny 
Among the saints as they drifted
The church choir can't stop either 
For the mass had just began 
Oh! Holy saints, holy than thou 
For the trumpet just began

Lying in pervertness  of stitches
Frequently laying the foundation 
Not on the sinking ground though 
Clinging to the hymn book 
Singing 'stand up thee soldiers'
For the battle had just begun
On my armoured structure 
No reason not to turn up or..
Give way through a fading soul? 
Did I lose it trying to defend my own?
I build it on the sinking ground
And what will be the strongest pillar!
Ringing of the bell can't ignore either

Could I be losing it again and again?
Speaking of the Dias maybe I 
Call me there and I will fall on you
Struggling with childish ideas
Conformed all along in dying crystals
That build up in time of brightness
The sun still shone and life had to continue
I chose the path will lose the track
Moreover the moon never gave up on me
Darkness never had my place either
Am I confused or my brains just melted?

That Piece So Vital

THAT PIECE SO VITAL
Born of a woman, am a woman can't deny that
Neither can't say am not born to cover the bottom
Can't say that long dress shouldn't be the attire 
My beauty and pride lies under the pilgrim of two legs
Having heartache is the worst feeling experienced
For pen is mightier than the sword, can't help putting it down
Gathering recipe of pieces and lines of heartfelt cry
Opening my mouth dropping bombarding words  that hurts to some
But who cares when three or four are saved from that agony
Passing that cruised knife and rubbing it through my womanhood
Like a butcher chopping meat with a blunt knife
Rendering me to feeling that leaves me groaning in lost bound pain
Leaving me in pain, bleeding, difficulty in passing urine 
And sometimes leaving me in pangs of death 
Rendering me to a lifetime torture and disrespect from mates
Can't stop feeling low and unacceptable in this new technology world
Taking out something that so precious from me that gives me pleasure
Only leading me to be a mans object at my tender age
Am young, beautiful, intelligent where I need books and not marriage
Am a child who needs care and not a child babysitting a child
Need to be woman of substance maybe a philosopher 
Grant me that opportunity to love books and befriend them
That piece so vital so don't dare touch it 
I don't need to under go difficulties during childbirth
A grownup woman isn't by the knife but by education
Please help me eradicate this nightmare of FGM
Away from our communities and save our girls
In the bible God instructed of male circumcision 
For this is my mission to fight  for 
I will advocate for ' please save my clitoris'  for its in danger
Where preys bang loud ready to pounce on it 
By all means pens, books, words forum never will I stop this madness
Let's join hands to fight for ' that piece so vital'

If I Was a Man

If I was a man I would have all girls around me
Tease and make a show out of them
Move around all clubs checking them out
Promising heaven I haven't been my lifetime
Build great castle about our love will last forever
Where I know nothing lasts for ever 
But I would check out for that one chilly impress
Whom I will show her to all the world
Make her my queen and take her to Ndiani
Make her breakfast in the morning
And steal a kiss from her cheek
Every time stealing glances from her
Blash every time when she smiles
When we hurt each other
Lie in my room with tears 
Remembering how she used to call me
All night long to say ' I just thought of you'
The feeling when she laid on my chest
How she made me feel am a man 
By saying ' I feel safe in your arms'
That is if I was a man

Future Reigns

Sitting down and crying to myself 
No good thing would come out of me
People critizing my efforts
Being left in puddling distress
Detest growing  louder like a panting wounded lioness
It never took me longer to discover 
That people thought to be my friends did this
Never understood the meaning of frenemy
Not till it hit me like a raging storm
My mama would crying out aloud 
Trying to understand  the feeling I had
Trying to kick it more harder
Like a wrestler training in a big punch bag
Sitting  and drowning in effortless thoughts
Of that future that was never built  before
Laid in ruins of past loathe and tears
Picking the small pieces cos the mirror
Is staring to that bright future trying to reflect
And most of all bow to one supreme being God

Staring to that broken mirror no piece lit 
Sucking the pain of the lost bound never missed
As I laid down the gained patience withheld
And stood stronger than ever before breathless
Fearing not to stumble nor to crumble myself
To the dark cistern of the frienemies I had
and a song of brevity was heard within my dancing soul
With smiles blossoming  my small lips
And singing to my future reigns
Where darkest parts melted to clear crystals 
Which unveiled the hidden message
Of the crumbled one still stood strong
Through the hardships of bitterness consumed
By swallowing the disgrace bestowed 
And holding hands for victory achieved 
Running the race and still keeping my faith

Entreated

ENTREATED 

The gigantic motion patrolled 
In the dark room immersed myself 
No! This can't be it's no more
Giving out a shrilly sharp vocal
My throat adhering to dryness 
What a slurred pilgrimage 
I didn't realise it wasn't over
Drapping across my numb limbs
Crawling in the dark room shivering 
A dark shadow appeared in roar
What a sunken face with bones
Was it a ghost or a demon ?
No pop as my voice faded in the dark
Chattering of things I knew not about
Tears rolling down endlessly-
Remembering the teachings in cathedral 
Would this really save me from furnace? 
blood smearing seemed a ritual 
Drinking from that skull like cup
Presented by long bone like hands
all I would mumble was readings 
Had the saviour arrived to lend a hand!
Maybe yes maybe no I tried to swear 
It wasn't really though my fear overwhelmed 
My conscience had gone for a trip
Far far away from my world though
Entrapped in my own thoughts of loss
I preferred taking it solo 
The mission meant to be accomplished 
Only by self and step by step 
I took the wrath to my own hands 
and all was only a symbol of cowardice.
