Unethical Legacy

-

On a fatefully fine Friday evening
I opened the Bible and begun reading
'Remember not the former things
Nor consider the things of old
For behold I'm doing a new thing...'
Wasn't that ordinarily odd?
Especially for such a broken being?

New things were happening each day
Things that only reminded me of yesterday
Things that mercilessly pierced my wounded heart
While no one, absolutely none, ever gauged the level of the hurt
My hurting heart always received a blow after another every new dawn
And all that I had nearly elapsed, and the blows knocked me down
So how could I even give a dime of my articulated art?
To a people that can't afford a purported pay
And all they wish for me is a crooked way?

I figured through the crucifictional course of events
Cold sun, bright nights, dark days
Everything was seemingly on the wrong side
And the void in my heart was growing so wide
I longed for the long gone days
and wished I could sweep away the solicited sediments
Sediments of soldered thin soils
Sediments that were limiting my every stride
Sediments that caused my feet to feebly slide
Making me to madly miss my old ways
When I should be getting over such predicaments

As these streams of thoughts burned through my heated brain
I counted them all vain and a bait to ungratefulness
For as far as the seas raged and the storms stired my pain
I had more than enough reasons to practice thankfullness
How the tongues of appreciation were perfectly getting slain
How trials and temptations can dreadfully drain God's goodness
How impatience and forgetfulness can drag one off their lane
How one can rightfully justify themselves against righteousness !
How gratitude can easily be buried in forgetfulness!

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...
