NOTHERN KENYAS PROBLEMS

Now to most of my audience, I am kenyan. like most other keynans, I AM BEATEN AND DEJECTED BY THIS LIFE. however i am better than most. not because of my background. but because fate had it that I am not subjected to the same degree of  suffering and neglect that society has let them face.

it is appalling to note that humanity still stooped so low as to kill for economic gain, gain that is not only tainted by blood, but by corruption. I am utterly dismayed when the world says that we have a government, while in reality we have blotted, bigoted blind fools sitting in parliament as they plot on how best to eliminate their constituents and enrich themselves. forgive me "Mr PRESIDENT,  but you are are the biggest glutton of them all. firstly, for allowing your cronies so much room as to perpetuate murders and massacres of epic proportions with out lifting a finger to stop it.
secondly for making this great nation of baboons and idiots worse by turning it in to a reactionary state. we are always reacting to crisis and never acting to avert it.GARISSA, MPEKETONI, BARINGO, TURKANA and the endless list of blood drenched coves in this country that i suppose with all its faults, should no longer exist at all.
i have never seen individuals so taken by self-interest and greed that they would sooner sell out their own children and parents to gain a worthless shilling as everything around them turned to ash before their very eyes. however the beauty of this unjust and obtrusively skewed world is that balance always find its way. either by the cruel hand of fate, or the humorous kick of ignorance. the problems you look at and feel to far detached from will know on your front door if you do not address them soon. and they will demand the absolute measure of their dues. the north of this country is not to far removed from state house. it has happened before in other states, you have done nothing to stop it from happening at home

understand

do not tire of me
asking how you are
at odd hours of the day
caring  for what you are doing
texting, calling, I.M.ing
constantly budgering
and bothering
it is my nature
where you are concern.
and my natural response to thoughts of you
I cannot draw myself from it.
neither can I deny it
do not be cross.

do not think me a bore
when i dot over you
a little more
than would be thought the norm
when i go above and beyond,
to make you smile
it is in my nature
to tend to you,
forgive me again,
forgive a thousand times over,
i ask, forgive me

there are strange things
love does to a man
turn him to a fool before his peers
make him weep for his fears
(the lose of you)
make him soft when hardness is expected
these are the things you do to me
understand
that you are my weakness,
that you are my strength
that you urge me on
when most tell me stop
understand
that I do it all for you

Death Be Gentle

Death be kind,
When you knock at my door,
rap it once
that I may be the only one
that will hear you.
and none else may awake

Death be gentle,
no to leave me in pain
be so kind
as to not linger in the shadows
for too long,
and give me false hope
of a life to go on

Death be gentle
when you approach
me with you shroud,
lay it lightly on me
but do not pull it tight
sit with me a moment
have a drink with me
have a chat

Death be soft
when you clench your jaw
on my frail bones
life sips away from  me
do not allow me a glimpse
a flitting glance
of what was
that as I ebb
I should not look back
