Famine in Kenya

Image
I live in a country where currently, politics are the main issues running on the television 24/7. We are already in the limelight of the world being the third country where elections were nullified and the first in Africa. But with all this going on we forget there are other problems. Even when politicians sway us to go against our neighbours and boycot certain commodities, I respect that. We are all entitled to our own opinions & the decision is all ours to make. The long heat has affected most part of the country mostly the Marsabit part. I have never, personally, experienced hunger and starvation but the view in the pic above I dont think I would like to. It once hit me, why would one starve to death while there are cows and goats grazing? Untill I got to learn thats their wealth. They way people from central region value their land, they also value their herds the same way. If one would die just for his herds to survive that means alot to people. The picture above was...

Sugar tasted Salty

Image
I have not yet seen it all but I have seen a share  of it. Since childhood, I have always wanted so much, but everytime I wanted it more something better came to my sight. That was never the case for John. John had it all, to my eyes. From the staff I had to those I never did. To me, he was living the life. One thing stood out from him. John never, I repeat never boasted of it. Being my best friend, I never felt awkward walking with him. He was raised in a family that had it all. The parents had a good life. The father was a CEO and the mother was a lawyer. So I know you have an image now.  I came to know John back in primary. Our parents knew each other since back then. We did those children escapades together. I remember once we took a morning stride to town. Before I continue, back then you could never walk alone in town. You walk alone with no supervision of an adult, get your ass prepared for a spanking. If every town had a gate to enter, our parents would still w...

My Woman

Image
Let us just be realistic, I don't want you to go the moon and back for me, We are past that, Furthermore if you go, who will be with me before you are back? I don't want you to swim in the oceans for me, what if you drown? or a shark attack happens? I'm no pessimist but.. I don't want to introduce you to my friends, as the one who makes me not sleep, I want to say you are the source of my happiness, I want to disrupt you from meetings with my texts, I want to be make your workmates curious who I am, You are the one who I want to take photos of, Have wild selfies with you, I want to have embarassing photos of you, I want you to make me like a robot, Unable to disrespect my master, You may be a Sunday afternoon for six days, And a Friday evening for one day, But still I don't find you boring, I want my mum to ask me, "How did you do it" You make me feel wanted, I make you feel needed, I want the pasto...

Letter to my Miss

Image
Dear Miss, Heey honey, it's me. I don't know whether I still qualify to call you such sweet words after what happened. I write to you as I sit on my bed surrounded by three walls and a thick grill for a door. I thought I would have handled it for a few years, but it's months and I can feel as if my life is crumbling on me. Life in prison has got to be the hardest ever. Right now I wish I remained poor than trying to get rich illegally. I wish I still remained in my small business. It still fed me even if it provided less. I'm making regrets & noting them down on the wall beside my bed. First of all I have a confession to make. I'm sorry for not telling you what I was up to. Maybe all this could have been avoided from the beginning. Maybe I couldn't be writing this letter from where I am. Maybe I would be writing a different letter than what I'm writing. I was never like this from the beginning. I had viewed my life with you from a different persp...

Edge Relationship

Image
I’m tired of living a normal life, Who said we got to do things like others, We can live our own way, Do our own things, Compete who arrives home early, Take a road trip but with different cars each, Lets try pepper eating, Who ever looses buys chocolate, Cook dinner for each other, On the same day, Who ever cooks the sweetest, Haves his/her food for supper, Who evet looses pays the rent, Try crazy projects, Plan on taking over other peoples business, Race with our vehicles, Who ever looses fuels both cars for a month, Play truth or dare, With whisky on the table, And see who ever gets drunk first, Take on our fears, And see who is brave than the other, Try different hairstyles, I take you to a barber, You take me to a salon, You do the style to my liking, I do a style to your liking, And we see who gets ridiculed the most, Compete who takes the other on the most beautiful date, Surprise each other with unexpected gifts, ...

Consign to Oblivion

Image
I wish I could get on a rocket, Get to the galaxy, Open the door and float, Float off to an unknown destination, Forget what happiness felt like, What funny things are, What good memories and, Old good times felt like, Doing stupid things, And regretting much later is, Forget what laughing loudly, And having a coy grin, Sitted at the corner of a room, In the middle of a crowd, Float off to pure darkness, To the view of no planet, To the view of no comet, To the point of closing my eyes, And opening them wide, Has no difference, Both of the same view,  I wish I could get amnesia, Forget it all existed, Forget what disappointment feels like, What it means to be let down, Forget what anger is, And its end results are, What being mad feels like, Making bad faces, And too much pressure in you, Forget what a bad day is, Forget what pain is, Both physical and emotional, What a heart break, Death of close person, ...

Wedding Bells

Image
The smile on her face, As she walked down the aisle, Could tell she was ready for this day, You got yourself a king, Shuffle not the cards, You don’t want to land a joker, The emotions in her words, Could be heard miles away, When she said “I will”, The dance moves, And the energy in his steps, Could tell he had this day in mind, You got yourself a bride, Thanks to God you are never blind, Everyday you will get to see, Her face as she be, The loud confidence, Was quite evident, In his words, When he said “I will”, And in your words, By grace may you live happily together, Vows made before God, Divorce you not, Best wishes Josh and Essy...

World Tour

Image
I want to do something different. My country seems so small for me. So I suggest we do something different. Lets save to visit the world, cover the paths it provides us. We can start the visit to Bolivia. Walk on the water at the reflective salt lake in Bolivia. Have a taste of the sunshine at the place. Take photos of our reflection. Have a romantic walk at Charleston South Carolina USA as we pick flowers and enjoy their scent. Have a night at Cinque Terre Italy. Enjoy the beautiful paintings of the buildings. Head down to Havana Cuba the following morning. Enjoy driving old classic vehicles on the streets. Enjoy the good nature of the Cuban people. Then go to Longyearbyen Svalbard in Norway. Stay for a week as we wait for the beautiful sunlight every morning. We can  then pack off to Puerto  Vallarta in Mexico. Learn the Latino language of the Mexicans. We can later have lunch at Willemsad in Curacao as we enjoy the view of the beach. Taste different sea foods at the...

Love Competition

Image
I like you, I really really do, But I can never be him, I'm me, he is he, I try cooking for you, He takes you out for lunch, I pick a flower beside the road, Place it on your hair, He sends a whole bouquet of flowers, Right to your doorstep, I take you out for short night walks, He takes you on a week's roadtrip, I take you for lunches with public transport, He comes for you with his personal vehicle, He dresses in Giorgio Armani suit, I find my most decent shirt, He got his italian leather shoes, I got my lucky sport shoes, I write short notes to express my feelings, He buys you expensive gifts to your liking, I cannot compete with him, But willing to be the frog, That kisses the beautiful princess, I will wait for you, But I will not compete for you It wouldn't hurt to share...

My Next Life

Image
I want to live my life my next life backwards. From old age back to middle class and finally to the womb. Start out dead so that I can get that one out of the way. My body lying inside a coffin 6 feet under with decaying smell. One year and my body is back to normal. People pick out their flowers from my grave side. The tombstone is placed back to the back of a pick-up. A crowd digs out the coffin and pull out the casket from the ground. People drowning in tears surround the whole place. From family, friends and the pastor. It is placed in the centre of the crowd as the sermon goes on. Soon I’m back on the hearse and drove back to the mortuary. The crowd walks backwards as they view my body through the looking glass of the coffin drowning in their tears. A week later I’m taken back to my house where the doctor declares me alive. I wake up to the comfort of my matrimonial bed next to my old wife. Soon my children, grandchildren and great children are laughing at a get together i...

I am Still Waiting

Image
Clouds cover the sunrays, Fog covers the view in my window, I wake up to the view of a cold wall, Its been days since you left, You said you would come, Those were you last words, Did the nector turn sour? Sugar taste salty? I miss the old us, when we laughed to crazy jokes, The loud shouts at night, Weird dances in the house, I even miss fighting with you, Will I see you soon? How long will I wait for you? I'm Jealous of time, It separates me from you, Im the seven oceans, Wanting the whole of your land, All to myself only, Just you, Please come back soon It wouldn't hurt to share...

TBT

Image
Back in the days when we were kids, life was fun since child until responsibilities caught up unto us. We enjoyed every minute of life we lived cause most of the times was play time. Hide and seek, marbles, catching birds, racing with tires, teasing the girls, family games where the boy leader would play as the father and the leader of the girls would play as the mother. I guess match making started way early than we thought. The rest of the players would take different characters and there was also the dog of the family. Stupidity sometimes is funny. I remember when we wanted to live like street children cause no one told them anything. Little did we know how hard it was for them to get food or even they never slept on a comfortable bed. School was fun only during breaks and lunches. We couldn’t wait to finish eating so as to go the field and play until the bell rang. If the teacher never showed up, we would make noise all through. Boys talking about how last night’s wrestling...

He is Mine

Image
Talk of me in man's hand, His beard feels like beach sand, Yes, touch my hair, Tour me everywhere, He says I look beautiful, I say he looks handsome, For him, I promise to be dutiful, As long as everyday his love i get some, I call him a beast, He calls me a princess, Just like a feast, He wants me more, nothing less, He says I'm a lady of wonders, I say he is a man of surprises, Like storm and its thunders, His love day by day rises, He got me drooling over his love, His thoughts swifts in my mind like a dove, He crowds my lady mind, Love is really blind, How did I get to land this guy? Does he also wonder how he landed this lady too? It wouldn't hurt to share...

Lady Love 3

Image
Her; Hey you, lets meet up ASAP. Me; Why? Any good news? Her; Lets just meet up and you’ll know. At our usual place. Me; Okay as you say miss.        ********** Me; So what’s the hurry all about? Her; So I tried to ignore the lady but I couldn’t. So last week as I was buying lunch, she passed by the shop and saw me. I had not seen her until I heard someone pat me on the back. She said she recognized me from far. We had a little chat and she wanted me to help her with the assignment. I was really tempted to say no, sure I really, really wanted to say no, but I would have sounded rude. Me; wait, she asked you to help her with the assignment? Does she know who you are? Or even does she know you copy everything even class work hehehe… (sarcastic laugh) Her; Idiot, who asked you, do you want to hear what happened or should I leave? Me; okay continue. Her; I told her that I would help her, but maybe in the evening when I’m done with my errands. To spice u...

Suicide

Image
He couldn't take it no more,  He started acting less normal, Just before he went to die, "I'll be back" was the lie, He told his wife, Just before he took his life, I don't call it suicide, I call it mental pressure pride, It takes an avail, To gift life to Azrael, He found it better to hang, Than the gun, on his head, loud bang, If he goes to hell, The pressure is to blame, And the demons will yell, "His soul is mine to claim", Another family just got thinner, They lost their bread winner, I don't blame him at all, Blame the internet troll, Blame the crowding stress, His embarrassment by the press, He was in his late twenty, I don't believe it was his time, Hour glass was just half empty, I don't accept he was next in line, His life came crashing down like thunder, And now we mourn as he rests 6 feet under, It wouldn't hurt to share...

Lady Love 2

Image
Me; I have been listening, but I'm a dude, how can I help you with a girl problem? Shouldn't you be telling your so called "besties"? Her;  I can't tell them cause I stay with them most of the day times and they will tease me about it all day. Me; Okay then, why don't you go and just talk to her? You are a lady, she won't snob you unlike if it were me. First of all, she is intelligent we can both tell by the marks she scores in the class work. Secondly, she is beautiful. You can't argue with that. A fact is a fact, so let's call a spade a spade. Her;  You think I haven't tried to gain courage and go talk to her? I mean I don't know anything about her. I might step on the wrong foot and things escalate rapidly within a blink of an eye. Then again how do you tell a fellow lady that you think you like her. Don't you get it, I'M A LADY AND SHE IS A LADY TOO. Furthermore this is kind of a taboo. It is neither allowed in my communit...

What If

Image
What if things changed tomorrow? And we woke up to a different life, Would you still continue with me? If I was the poorest of them all, Would you still want to walk with me? If tonnes of problems followed me, Would you offer me solutions to them? If I had no eyes to see you, Would you hold my hand? If I had no hands to touch, Would you still cuddle with me? What if I was disfigured? Would you still take pics with me? If I never won today, Would you be proud of me? If the world was against me, Would you stand by me to the end? If they accused me wrongfully, Would you defend me? If I gave up on myself, Would you motivate me? If I was never your complete package, Would you leave me? If I forgot an important date for us, Would you remind me of it? For whatever mysteries come tomorrow, Will you still love me? It wouldn't hurt to share...

Lady Love

Image
Her; "Left, right, left, right... Dress waving sideways from the evening breeze. Her systematic, rhythmic walking style gave this lady a chance to form a pattern in her shoeprints. That evening walked past a beautiful woman using her lips for blessing, her voice for kindness, her ears for compassion, her hands for charity and her heart for love. This was the third week I had been stalking her. I had been coming to the same shop pretending to buy staff, but the truth is I was always timing this lady as she went from school to her house. I was sure no one had seen my scheme of following her since not even my besties had known about it. It wasn't easy telling them about it, since I was a lady falling for a lady. Yeah, you read it right, I'm a lady, and I think I'm in love with another lady. Okay, I wouldn't call it love per se, since I didn't know what it really was. I have a boyfriend who I love very much, but then again why have I been stalking this lady fo...

No More Love

Image
These are no rain drops, Its sweat from my body, This is no powder on my face, Its salt from my sweat, I face down not cause I’m shy, Cause I can no longer look at you, I’m not kneeling to pray, I kneel cause I’m tired, Tired of this load of yours, You use please and thank you, Just like a saint, Yet you curse me like a sinner, You became more of Dora, And forgot about this Diego, I used to take you like wine, Straight down my throat, Now I get to take you like soda, With a straw in between, There were days I couldn’t do without you, You used to be my morning cup of tea, Now I think I’m having late night vodkas, I can no longer do this, I remember the old days, Once I was your knight in a shining armor, Now I'm just a playboy in an aluminium foil, I’m trying to pick pieces of you, out of my memory, your excuses are meant to be rigid, but you say my reasons are fake, I try to be romantic, Yet you say I’m acting childish, ...

Tuesday Night

Image
It is five past six on Tuesday evening. I’m from my errands on some matters I’m working on. Deadline is tomorrow morning so everything has to end by today night. I pass by the shop and buy myself two cigarettes. I have to relieve myself of all this work I’ve been doing all week. Furthermore, I left some change in the morning when I passed by. I staff my two rolls in my bag and head on home. Can’t wait to drop this bag off my shoulders drop myself on that couch. I don’t have a lighter and I used my last match stick last night. I head back to the shop and buy a packet of matchboxes. That will take me for some weeks. Before I get to open the door, this key has no idea how I feel currently. So it better not bring up the bullshit it does everyday. The first twist and the door opens. “Miracles are true; I guess” I murmur to myself. I look back at the door as I walk away just to be sure it’s the same house I get to every night. This key never opens that fast the other days. I’m so tire...

Happy Birthday Rinah

Image
Much higher her voice she raise, Cause she finds every reason to praise, She chooses to be Happy, Even when her hair is nappy, High and low she chooses to strive, Despite all the disappointments in life, For she knows God cares, And does not give even little scares, She is grateful for the woman she became, For there is no one to blame, Cause she plays her own game, And knows the love of the Lord is no shame, She believes God is within her and she will not fail, Neither will the Lord let her struggle pale, Miss as you have your night dinner, Can't forget to tell you Happy birthday Rinah, It wouldn't hurt to share...

Patience

Image
Well, they say it’s a virtue. The ability to tolerate delay of things without change of your current situation with the hope of a positive feedback. It is never easy mostly when you are in a hurry to get something. Sometimes you have to be patient for as long as it takes for you to get the results of your work. Most of the times there is a positive feedback. Furthermore trees that are slow to grow bear the best fruits. There are times to stay put, and what you want will come to you, and there are times to go out into the world and find such a thing for yourself. For those who wait know the kind of fruits patience comes with. Patience is bitter, but its fruit is sweet. Ask anyone who has suffered for a long time and later succeeded in life. He knows more of to wait for his day will come soon with all that is his. As a person who had once gone to the gym (please be quiet), results don’t happen with a blink of an eye. Don’t get me wrong, I’m not saying it from experience, it’s fro...
