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.

NEW NAME??

Hello people!

I changed the blog name to God,Myself & Life because;

A) It's God who blessed me with the gift I have & still makes my creativity cup run over

B) Some of the things posted here are inspired by My experiences in different things.

C) At the end of it all, it is my hope that the posts will help every reader in different ways & circumstances of this Life.
( so much for not giving explanations :-P )

The blog is a Christian Poetry blog that occassionally deals with other topics from time to time (hopefully every week)

Continue enjoying the blog & may God bless you

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

CHOOSE GRACE

    Hello dear people! It's Thursday thus a new update. I don't have much to say except the following poem is pretty much self explanatory. Enjoy                

                         Grace
              Abundant, Eternal
     Saving, Blessing, Re-energising
    Life,   Happiness,   Pride,   Misery
             Killing,  Lying,  Slaving
                    Bitter,  Cold
                            Sin

LOVE SALUTE

Hello people! It's been a while since the last post. Things have been a little crazy which lead to my little vacay. I'm happy to inform you that I'm back with the usual weekly posts. ENJOY :-D

This post was inspired by a good friend who passed on to the next life. Hope to see you again Shaz!

It was love that brought you,
It is love that took you away
There's very little we can do,
But a whole lot to say.

You were a friend, a lover,
A connoiseur, a traveler,
A crutch, an inspiration,
A soul with no limitations.

I know it's late as these words flow,
But they have to be said as the curtains close
We loved you all...even your silly laugh,
May you live on in eternity's path.

For the little one, take care of it,
A girl or boy, we'd have loved it
I know you're all very happy,
Which gives the strength to keep going.

To the rest we saluted before you,
May they cordially recieve you
As they sing a new song of praise,
To the one that gave them breath.

ACROHYMN

Getting ready for
Heavenly glory
In a broken body 'cause of
Jehovah's Grace through
Kneeling & Praying,
Loving & caring.

MAYBE SOMEDAY

I want this, I really do,
So I do what's best,
I come to You.

Asking, Seeking & Believing,
In Your name & Word I'll recieve it,
Time flies by but all is silent.

Should I stay..should I go?
Should I hold fast to the little hope?
If You want to You'll come through.

Now It's no longer in mind,
Gotten used to the silence in reply,
Maybe someday You'll come through.

Come to..,
Come through..,
Maybe someday You'll come through

ONE LAST TIME

Hi people! This piece was inspired by the Bible character Samson. It's in a state of reminiscence & hope.

Look at me now,
as I stand here wasted.
Look at all the rows,
that have got me toasted.

A man who once tore a lion apart,
Killed the men who broke his heart.
Is now weak, broken and blind,
Chained like a dog by the Philistine's binds.

Is it something I did wrong to my God?
Is it something my ancestors did & forgot?
Was it planned in advance before my birth?
or is it I who lost my self worth?

They tricked me Oh Lord
And worse, my eyes they gourged!
Why must I suffer
while they get tougher?

Animals & thirst did not kill me,
Jehovah Nissi, You protected me.
Forgive me for I have been too weak,
Swimming in pride, lust & deceit.

One more chance is all I ask,
To crush these people & turn them to dust.
May Your strength fill both my hands,
Bring honor & fame in my father's land.

GOD

                        God
            All-powerful, Holy
      Protecting, saving, healing
Breaking from sin, drowning in sin
       Falling, crying, believing
               Fleshly, proud
                       Man

IT IS WELL

There will come a day,
It is well, it is well.
The sky will be clear and beauty all round,
Colours popping, horseback riding, lion petting and glory-filling worship, praise and laughter.
Amazing people, amazing service,
Re-unions, ullulations, celebrations.
But for now my heart will say,
It is well.., it is well.

REFLECT

Boastful tongue
Conniving heart
Deceitful eyes
Everlasting pain
For the wages of sin is death

LOVE, GRACE & FAITH

In the beginning was the Word,
Everything perfect, nothing bad.
Since the beginning there's been love,
That's always overflowed from above.

In our eyes transgression makes us better,
But ultimately makes us all bitter.
Why can't we see the bigger picture?
Why are we such evil creatures?

Never fear, there is hope,
If you doubt ask the Pope.
For Salvation has come upon us,
Through the Messiah Christ Jesus.

It's by Grace & through Faith,
That's what His word saith.
So don't trust a man's hearsay,
Concentrate on the Bible & persistently Pray.

JEHOVAH SHAMMAH

I want to talk to You but I don't,
I know I should, but don't bother about Your font.
The first few days my heart's heavy 'coz I'm haunt-
ed, the little voice in me taunts.

I try to go back but after a few days I fail,
or maybe it's because secretly I want to bail,
Even prayers seem longer each day,
Suddenly becoming unconscious as I lay.

I keep this facade, I care what they think,
But deep down I know I'm drowning as I sink.
I'm too ashamed to turn to you and cry,
So I choose to remain spiritually dry.

I read a book, phrase, watch TV or listen to a song,
Then suddenly realize You've been there all along.
Realize in my imperfection is where Your perfection lies,
And no matter what I may do Your love never dies.

Help me see and always believe Your truth,
Help me remain as loyal as Ruth.
When I
fall please pick me up,
For You are my God who fills my cup.

SANELY INSANE

This is my third time screaming tonight,
I just can't let it go
The horrid pictures keep coming to sight,
Seems to be my biggest foe.

The gunfires ricocheting,
The doors breaking,
The people screaming,
The earth shaking.

Funny how they call me crazy now,
And I'm the one who saw it all.
Then again if I'm sane, how?
I'm too confused by it all.

I'm not proud of me,
So please give me some time,
To thoroughly work on thee,
And get through this stage I mime.

As the world continues revolving,
I'll continue resolving,
And try to keep believing,
But for now, like a zombie, I'll be living.

A HEART MADE OF STONE

A heart made of stone,
Is like a body without bone,
The exterior is perfect but the main thing is useless.

Pain is meant to be felt,
The air is meant to be smelt,
So let the heart do as it was meant.

Numbness is a choice,
In the hurricane it's a poise,
I can neither accept or condemn it, perhaps it's a voice.

Step by step & slowly by slowly,
Things will get better, don't you worry,
So teach your heart how to live a good story.

HAPPINESS

They say happiness is simple,
Can be seen through a smile even without a dimple,
It's contagious even to a man with heart pimples,
From a person to another it fills the earth in ripples.

Life in itself is complicated,
But if you dwell on the simplicity you'll be fascinated.
A child finds happiness when they've defecated?
A man feels useful when they're passionately dedicated.

Life is short to stay mad.
Forgive yourself and others, don't be sad.
Then pass it on when you're a mum or dad,
SO the next generation will  be better than any we've had.

Smile at me and I'll smile at you,
Hug me and I'll hug too.
For what goes around comes back at you,
They say karma's a __ but not to good dudes.













P.S the image is from http://elitedaily.com/life/pursuit-happiness/

This is for all the people out there who have any kind of relationship(s) that is/are exasperating. The ones that you lie to yourself that it'll get better but later realize they moved on and you're the idiot that was left behind. So....yeah, enjoy it :)



                 WHY ME

Give me a reason, just one reason to stay,
'Coz i can't believe or bare it today
i kept believing things would get better,
But apparently i was in a dream and everything's helter skelter.


Why did you do this to me?
You know i really gave the best of me,
I wish you could just see it from my point of view,
Maybe your actions and attitude you'd review.


But then again maybe I'd understand,
Get why your heart is so hard to stand,
See if your even worth the fight,
Or the best decision is to take flight.


I look back and I'm happy at the memories,
I look now and I'm disgusted by the sorries,
I look forward and I'm relieve by time,
'Coz it finally taught me you were never mine.

HAVE YOU EVER?

Have you ever seen something so beautiful,

that you wonder how others could be so cruel?

Have you ever imagined something so youthful,

but yet seems so willing to duel?

Has it ever been out of control,

that it suddenly feels out of this world?

Has it ever felt like you just enroll,

not as an option, but being hurled?

Yes, there are two sides of a coin,

but someway, somehow, it doesn't seem like they join,

The top looks so different from the bottom,

just as spring differs from autumn.
