Where we came from
Where we came from!!
Though it'd no shape nor form,
but it defined us n gave us form
Though some were disabled and left maim
those who understood played the game
and thus far they have come
Though undesirable it may seem
and many may assume
but we proudly admire the same
Knowing well it made us a name
We shed tears and having no whim
yet we reap with joy with a hymn
and thus credit we give to Him
who strengthened us though weak we seem
Now we feel proud of where we came from!!!

Go back, look and inquire
You’ll see nothing to desire
And find that nothing was there
The need thereof was so dire
That we almost sank like in mire
But we didn’t give up either
For the hope of the awaiting joy yonder
We defied the prevailing hunger
For our hearts and souls were so eager
Not to despair and fall thither
Hope! …Hope was our anchor
Hope of a tomorrow that would be better….
…And today! We can look back from hither
And smile with pride of where we came from!!


He fears Nothing
He told me he fears nothing
Looking at me without blinking
And gave me so long a list
Of things he fears not
From the deep blackness of the night
To the horrific steep of the deep
He fears not the most terrible beast of the land
For once he tore the lion by his bare hands
He fears nothing
Not to mention the leviathan he has seen not
But,
I fear ‘nothing’ more than anything
More than what he has in his inventory
Because nothing is something to fear
When I think of its loud silence
Loud enough to wake the dead
The emptiness of nothing!
The darkness of nothing!
Oh, I fear nothing, than anything
Oh that I will never meet it
And be swallowed in its hollowness
Where nothing really is
Where the present and future meets
And devour each other to nothingness

You should fear ‘Nothing’
 For in her embrace the sun halts its light
And the budded roses blossom not
And the beauty of the setting sun becomes gross
When u don’t have ground beneath
To old your feeble knees
Neither heaven above overlooking your head
When there is but Nothing hither of yonder
“Nothing!” Nothing is horrible
That is why nothing else scares me
More than Nothing!

Ningekwambia!

Kama ingekuwa vile, swahiba ningeshasema Ningepiga na kelele, ufahamu himahima Kwamba sikuwazi miye, sikomi laili nzima Ningejasiri n’kwambie, lau sikupendi mbuya Kama sivyo ‘ngekwambiya, wazi wazi pasi siri Lau sijasuhubiya, nahari sikufikiri Kwamba sijakuwaziya, na gonezi kuabiri Ngaungama wangu mwari, kwamba siwe nimpendaye Kama kuli mwengineye, ninaye muenendea Mtimangu anitwaliye, ni radhi kumwenendea Hadhi yangu nimpaye, na siwe wangu maridia Ngakwambia siweye, hala ningekuhubiri Kama siwe ulinitwaa, kawa wa kunipa tuo Najenenda nili fwaa, nimetekwa na pumbao Azizi u’vyonivaa, yakaniisha matao Kweli ningeshakujuza, kwamba siwe nyonda

Raha ina karaha

Nisikiye muandani, hili langu ‘takufaa Likulinde maishani, upate na manufaa Usikimbilie rahani, si kwote kwa shufaa Raha siyo ya furaha, mbambonimwe mna karaha Raha haiji kisolo, huja imepachana Unalodhania silo, huwa limepindana Unapolipata hilo, na jingine wakutana Siirambitie raha, mbambonimwe mna karaha Maumbile yakufunze, yana mfano murua Kwanza mulima uanze, pindi bonde tagundua Au mchana na nuruze, usiku utazipindua Ukisha icheza zeze, simile kwaja simanzi Husikii usesikiya, upate na uelewa Wazee ‘lijisemeya, ja bakuli na kawa Raha ukifurahiya, karaha hitachelewa Mwana  ukaindhari, baada ya raha karaha Uchovyapo na asali, usiwe mwenye pupa sana Na utamu wa asali, kuna nyuki na usena Sasa uki si wa azali, una sumu ya usena Na dunia k’ikumbata, kajikaliye yahiyatu Tamati nimeifika, sina mengi ya kunena Sipende kukaramka, ukakosa indhana Raha simfanye kaka, rafiki wa kupendana Mbona usena wa nyuki, nao huo si usena?
