Crush

Write about your first crush. Waah, it was war. War with emotions, battle for attention, a coup. A coup to unseat the then current regime. A plan, a plan to escape prison this prison called infatuation. Had to concede defeat in the end, built a relationship with my hand. I laugh at the memories.

SHUTTERS OF DECADENCE

Technology has invaded the dating scene,Breeding a wave of modern sins unseen,While you remain a fool no one has known,Much has been exposed, much has been shown. The camera, the mono-eyed king,Has lured many into this strange new thing, “Send me a picture,” they say,“I want to feel your texture,Imagine your composure,This is the new culture.” A culture that’s led our morals to rapture,Where…

THE MARAUDING BEAST

On our roads roams a four, legged man eater,The infamous Toyota, the fourteen seater,It’s swallowed a brother, devoured a sister,A cold, metallic life-twister,But we cling to it, for lack of choice,Adopted it at gunpoint, without a voice.Built a bond, however bizarre,Because that’s the cheapest form of travel, Fourteen-seater, the law’s decree,But eighteen squeeze in ask you or me,The morning…

THE MUKURU DREAM.

Can anything good come out of Mukuru?Is it safe to say we’re reaping the fruits of Uhuru?That at last, we benefit from ushuru?Perhaps, son of a woman, perhaps. Our neighbourhood feels like a foreign land,Storey buildings proudly stand,Soon, I’ll be moving my fam,Out of the slum, away from the jam.Son of a woman, sit, let me narrate the Mukuru dream. No more fetching water from the stream,It…

YOU'LL GROW UP SOMEDAY

Mother:Little one, wake up, it’s time for school,Get up now, don’t break the rule,Rise while morning air is cool,Little mama, come on, don’t fuss,Let’s catch the early morning bus.It’s outside,I hear the hoot,Wake up now, or we’ll go on foot, The water’s warm, I’ve set it right,Sit in the basin, hold on tight,I’ll wash your sleep from every part,Though it bruises deep in my heart,I wash away…

SISTER PETINA

I’m on my knees, humbly pleading please,Searching for the altar, gods to appease.My palms are trembling, my heart’s not at easeOh sister Petina, will you marry me? I know you’re ready for the wedding ring,On my wings of love, I’ll carry everything,A visionary king, spinning dreams to bring,Like a spider weaving, ready for spring.From hustling hard to culinary art,My work speaks loud straight…

THE FISHING NET

The world we knew was once a village,The world now, a global village.The net we knew was the fishing net,Then came mosquito nets… and then the Internet. What is this Internet? it belongs to who?Google, Gmail, Hotmail, YahooSon of a woman! Cables run for miles under the sea,Through sand, through rock, through places we can’t see.But that doesn’t matter,As long as our phones are charged and…

LET THE SMOKE RISE

The world is tense,For real for real, no pretense,The numbers are dense,Heads high,Eyes to the sky,Son of a woman, let the smoke rise. Let the smoke rise,Let our faith suffice,As robes shuffle and whispers advise,Behind golden doors they cast their votes,Holy ballots in crimson coats,Guarded at all costs,A sacred process? Or just a poll,With incense masking power’s toll?Aah! Let me smoke…

ONDIEKI HEAR ME NOW

I’ll marry when I want,Did I say I’d chant?Not in front of my aunt.Was just fine with my father’s Blue Band,So tell me, why would I need a husband? Out came the Blue Band,In came a potential husband,A puzzle piece, they called it fate,They said along the way we’d cultivate,A spark, a bond, perhaps affection,But will this train gain direction?Can these wheels roll on love alone,When even basics…
