JESUS PART I

I looked at the earth, but that wasn't enough,
I delved into the world, in what y'all would call the unknown,
Knowing very well it would be more than enough.

A couple of people celebrated,
A few wise men and simple shepherds,
But it wasn't simple.

No action 'till I was in my thirties,
Not 'coz I couldn't do it,
But the appointed time had not reached.

It was fire when it started, one that could never be quenched,
My father's hand and favor was upon me,
And never was He ashamed to tell them about me.

Speaking of shame, I could not believe my eyes
How could they do this to us? After all we'd done for them to prove our existence,
They wallowed in their sin, masquerading as saints

HAPPY JAMHURI DAY

Jamhuri....Independence, Freedom.

A great day for all Kenyans worldwide. It was a real struggle, some of us might not quite grasp the magnitude of where we were. Nonetheless we can't help but feel grateful. 

It's freedom from the colonial rule. The opression of the Blacks by Whites. The belief we are equals with dogs. Some great news, huh?

But then again, are We truly free? We constantly look up 2the white people for solutions. We believe whatever they say, dress or invent goes. When someone (Kenyan) so much as thinks of inventing an aeroplane, (s)he is quickly dismissed...or the story is highlighted for everyone to see but that's all. Not even the government or a tycoon will pick up the idea & do something about it. Why? "Za wazungu ni better quality" or some other dumb excuse.

Are we truly free when the rich get richer & the poor struggle 2make them trillionaires? When leaders can't grasp the concept of servanthood? Very sad! Our nation is at its knees due to corruption. It has become a song that unites us all. I suppose by now it can be one of the characteristics in the hashtag 'Ukenya Ni'

Are we truly free when Kenyans constantly live in fear? Terror attacks from left to right. How can students be attacked and wait eight good hours for help? What was happening all that time? Was help coming from abroad? Ni sawa.., yaliyopita si ndwele, tugange yajayo.

Are we truly free when forty-two percent of Kenyans live below the poverty line? We can barely afford basic needs, how in heaven's name do they think we can afford all these taxes? And to make it worse they're swindling us?

It's okay, it's a happy day. As our National Anthem clearly states, God is our strength. We shall continually be proud of our nation. We shall forget tribalism and join forces in Twitter wars, national disasters & celebrations. Why? Because we are Kenyans; we overlook the bad & focus on the good. We forgive where many can't & we strive to take our place in the global spotlight.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY KENYA!!

'LOVE SONG'

Love, a four letter word,
12,15, 22 & 5 make this alphabetical cord
Everyone's heard of it once, twice or a hundred times before,
Till I'm sure there was a time it became a bore.

Everyone searches for it,
High, low begging for it,
How many have encountered it
And are still desperate for it?

It's something we all need,
Planted in our hearts was that seed
Even before we landed on earth,
It was destined for everyone at birth.

But do we know where it comes from?
And how it stopped the heavenly storm?
How it made the King of Kings come down in our form,
And die on the cross so we could be reborn?

Yeah I know the story is long,
A bore is what has become of the song
Tell me something I don't know
As silly as our minds go

HELP ME OR STEP ASIDE

Do this, do that
Write this, write that
Turn left, turn right
But you're not willing to accompany me

Why must it always be that I'm a beggar?
Trying to convince you to see my point of view?
Trying to show my value to you
But in the long run it falls on deaf ears

You cannot please everyone, they said
Perhaps you fall in that category, my friend
If you're not for me then step aside
For your dormancy is costly

As a flower needs water & sunlight to grow
So do I need advice & support to flourish
If you think yours is too expensive for my pocket
Watch this space.

Mistakes are mistakes
They remain in the past but affect our future
You have yours & I, mine
So with your standard, be sure not to make them from time to time.

FOREVER YOURS

Hi folks! Yeah, I know...it came a bit late but it's finally here! (happy dance)
1st of all, I don't really like explaining about the poems 'coz I feel it limits your understanding. Everyone can have different interpretations concerning different things. I want to give y'all (my faithful readers) the liberty of finding meaning in your own unique way. I'm not sure I'll keep posting an explanation every Thursday.., just the poem. Y'all can also tell me what you think about the decision. Without further ado...the much awaited poem

There will always be a change in me,

In times I don't and times I see

Even when I fall down to my knees,

There will always be a change in me

When people talk against my plea,

And when my flesh condemns me

There will always be a change in me,

In times I don't and times I see

VICTIMS OF FATE

This is not a poetic post. It's just my thoughts about life & people. Call it advice. I wrote this 'coz I felt the need to A) Vent it out B) Share it coz there's someone out there it might help. Enjoy

P.S. The poetic update will be on Thursday, as usual.

They say its the shoe wearer who knows where it hurts most.But what if these painful, poor excuse for inventions were given to one in every fifteen people?Would these people stick around & mope all the time? Ofcourse not.They'd probably come together, form support groups to talk about their problems & most importantly, find solutions. But what if a few of them discovered ways of easing this pain? Perhaps a new invention?
It would be obvious that they'd share the secret with the rest, no?
But truth is, no one truly understands your path. Y'all might have the same broken bones but it won't affect y'all in the same manner. One might be minor & the other severe thus life altering. One might be 10/10 in the painometer while the other feels its just a scratch.
Do your thing your own way because as you might have heard a million times already, you're on this journey alone. Your friend, parent, lover... will not walk with you to your destination. So do yourself a favor & stop expecting too much from people coz half of them don't care & the other half don't understand how important/ valuable someone or something is to you. Some of these people won't help you because they think they have a right of getting there before you, forgetting that they'll never walk down that path even if heaven comes down to earth. Some people might think they're all that 'coz they have some of these opportunities. What they forget is time & chance happens to us all. You won't always be up & I vice versa. Everything has a reason & a season. It doesn't mean you're stupid, less talented/ creative or less valuable just 'coz your showreel isn't out there yet. I was taught, we can do anything for what I can't you can & vice versa. Lastly, give yourself a break for we're all victims of fate
