MOLDED

-
My tears have dried up
my hope is building a foundation
my trust is turning brand new
my heart is trying to adapt
how the folly of a woman is dignified
how the ignorance of the poor is rewarded
how the thirst of the desperate is paid back
how the weaker vessel is taken advantage of

When you found me
unnoticed a nobler
that very afternoon
walking hurriedly
focusing on your path
then suddenly
like a skyscraper
I noticed you from a distance
blushed at first
then softly
"come with me dear one"

It was your first mistake
finding a person in me
a person in a deserted land
bitten and bruised by life
hated and discriminated
that very afternoon
under the canopy tree
sharing the bitter past
then comfortingly
"I have and will always love you"

How you boarded my friend's ship
is a story that remains a milestone
your unreputable smile
your sweet emblem
your soft touch on my cheeks
I was flattered
lost in words
safe at your arms
then promisingly
"you're my queen forever"

On a fine morning, you woke up
counted on your mistakes
flattered your wings
took a new course
did away with every mistake
I was no less of it
but I'm not ashamed
that I learned the lesson
though the hard way
the last words are still fresh
"I found greener grass on the other side"
Thank you for the lesson
I am molded

IF WE EVER PART

 IF WE EVER PART If we ever part Let it be clear to everyone That you left willingly but not forcefully  That you left at peace but not out of chaos That only that fate could not allow the two of us to be  That only facts but not fixtures that part our ways That the tree only broke a branch but didn't die If we ever part Let the world sing this song  That we are a true story of a rejected to be That it was all for us yes but God said no  That all seemed right but He said wrong  That we were meant to live but not to be If we ever part Lets be a role model of how to relate  Let it be narrated of how we lived and loved Of the all positive vibes I instilled into their minds  Of your all intellingence and prominence in every narration  Oh! The measure of the quality of our very life's covenant If we ever part Let the young couples be referred to us To borrow nuggets of life and love Let our friendship remain intact  To appreciate the pure int...

  Sometimes...  Sometimes it's vital to lose things  To lose people and a variety of memories  When it's evident they were never meant to be with us For some of the things, people and memories we hold so dearly  Are only but a bane to our happiness  They're a beautiful scenery to our eyes  But a poison to our spirit  Sometimes it's good to visit our past To explore, configure,compare and contrast  To see the person on the other side of the mirror  For short is the human memory It's easy to forget where you were yesterday  Easy to forget who wiped your tears in those days but seeing the difference reminds you of a way in the ways Sometimes it's hard to admit That our expectations are our own weakness  Weaknesses that in turn can give birth to sickness  Sickness that can as well grow into madness  For the heart dances to the tunes of the silent voices And the unfruitful voices bring forth a complete mess  Sometimes...

Jitambulishe (Identify Yourself)

 JITAMBULISHE Uovu kweli tumelimbikiza  Yaliyomuhimu kuyapuuza  Aushi ya wengi kuteketeza  Matendo yetu kutochunguza  Thamani yake tukaipunguza  Bila shaka katamalaki kiza Lakini haya ni' kasababisha?  Umeokoka, uovu waelimisha Lisilohalali kuamrisha  Wanyonge si haba wadhalilisha  We' huoni wastaajabisha?  Jalali mbona wamsambaratisha? Habari njema uliipokea  Uka'koka pasi kuchechemea  Ukweli hukusita kutetea  Majaribuni mwovu kakemea  Hivi sasa, mbona ukapotea?  Au pia, yepi yalitokea? Kanisani wengi 'mechanganya Ukweli wote 'mewanyang'anya Kwa njia moja uliwakusanya Kwa njia Saba umewatawanya Kapuuza na hata walokukanya Ona sasa umejichanganya! Japo kiza kweli katamalaki Kwake Mola sitingiziki Ukweli wake nitaumiliki Neno lake halibadiliki N'taongeza na visisitizi Kwake ng'o sibanduki! Ni kweli dunia yabadilika  Huu ni ukweli usopingika  Lakini je, mbona watingizika?  Yakupasa vyema kueleweka...
