NEGATIVITY

An addiction that loiters around every soul,

As good, it reproduces when given a spotlight,

Natives who venture in it naturally,

Have a near to the ground sense of worth,

An effortless double of that mind-set,

Improper thoughts that sink you,

The individual is given a drastic surpassing,

It can only nourish on itself,

Thin-skinned characters are easily persecuted for they lack a lock,

Destructiveness that mutes, the "get-up-and-go" call,

A figment of your imagination shaped by the narrow mind to shield itself,

Ends up being as pricey as Prada,

Schemes to create an academy of its kind, an extension of itself,

Not all dignitaries yearn for a place in this "Harvard wanna-be",

You forget, everyone can find fault, few can do better,

Membership and subscription for the optimistic are on the house,

So far no complaints, just praise and satisfied members,

Care to share positivity and be a good activist?

For tales have been told, but never for pessimism,

Negativity never won any battle.

MASHAIRI NILIYASIKIA KWA MAMA SHAMBA

Juma wenda shamba,
Zawadi ziwapi?
Nisalimia Hafidhi na mama na mke wangu,
Kufungwa miaka mithano,
Ndio majaaliwa yangu,

Zeze lalia,
Mwakilingo kamwambia Marere,
Hii ndio hali ya dunia,
Zeze lalia, Zeze,
Kilingeni hakulii zeze,
Lakini mwaka huu litalia,

Kilichompata ngwena na kiboko yumo,
Ukithaka koti kubwa, mkamba na Selemani,
Perera peana uwanja,
Kwaja warembo wa shani.

Mlimwengu

Nilikukosea tangu naota matiti,
Umejitweka mpaka nimekuwa maiti,

Kilio chako kisipaze sauti,
Kwa kuona yangu mauti,

Kunisamehe hudhubuti,
Maishani mwako umenipiga buti,

Lakini kwa Mungu madhubuti,
Ila kwako kizungumkuti.

SINCE THEY DON'T READ IT, I GET TO WRITE IT

Forgive me my friends for to err is human,

And let you not forget that a guilty conscience needs no accuser my men,

In case you read this let forgiveness be addressed,

After all a fault confessed is half redressed,

Am short and am here for the tall,

You are short, so are short for my goal,

I fell in love with a silent man, always thought he was listening,

After he got married, i saw the world grinning,

My friend asked me for my tops in exchange for her skinny jeans,

I said no and that was the beginning of the bee-ouch sins,

Hey your Dean called,

She said they needed you for their last idiot just sold,

Heard they are the first to release the movie and i saw the premiere,

"When silly and stupid was king", where two old age fools show their trivia,

One calls the common man, his electorate, chicken poop,

The other complains about the carpet with no designed loop,

Meanwhile voters were vacated from their polling stations,

Oops! They forgot Hitler was sober and so were his sanctions.

MY GREAT POLITICIAN'S DOWNFALL

Lights, camera, action and you were my role model,
A man honored by the common mwananchi,
A man given face-lift by high regard,
But those days are now gone deceased,

You changed a miss we expected of you is now no more,
As a leader what we expected of you is now no more,
You stood but for personal value,
We no longer esteem you nor rely on you for anything,

My praise is no more at length,
As you proved ill to be stronger than strength,
Surely some men are wise and some are otherwise,
One sooner fell than rose but you still compromised,

Am sure if your likes were swept dry,
You'd utter, 'never say die! Up man and try',
But your efforts were shuttered down and you never did pry,
And guess why, you found yourself in a deep fry,

Though your race stands firm in prosperity,
Showcasing your culture with immunity,
You overlook the common man's ridicule on your dignity,
And you are still on the run for the city.

GET AWAY FROM ME

Why do you shatter my dreams?

You abused me and i left you in beams,

Can't you find a little room and place me?

Free from you is all i want to be,

When you loved me i was no witch,

But today you give my role a switch?

That's fine for i just want to open my eyes without fear,

They are wide open but allow the passing of a spear,

Severe my soul with paralysis,

Nobody knows to what extent i fear the demon of Isis,

I always console myself that i was down with my last cry,

But you line up the others as you pass by,

You need to stop loitering in my space,

Let me dry my eyes and allow my heart not to pace,

Untangle it and reduce the rate of knots,

I keep seeing how your soul with cruelty rots,

Am i a threat to your life?

That shouldn't be for you were the one who threw the knife,

All your actions had price tags,

Why then do you now walk with eye bags?

Can i ask if you have sleepless nights?

Or is it that you and your heartless self have some catching up on your domestic fights?

A LETTER TO THE ONE WHO HATES ME

I write this neither with scorn nor regret but with shock,

You were once registered to me as an archangel
,
And sadly enough knew that i perceived you so,

Speculation says appearance can be deceptive,

Time was not on my side for eventually you defected,

Never had i seen a theatre of cruelty,

The one i met is not the one i see today,

Who are you and where did you come from?

You calculatively chose to hate me,

Shock on me, I had never experienced such a vile person ever,

Biting and drowning your soul in fresh spite,

Your voice summoned the bitterness in you,

Pure malice that was tangible but had no background,

At least not to me for we shared no past,

I thought to myself, i must have exceeded Bush,

He carries with him a world's hate, but i outdone him,

The only difference is that my success was brought by one single person,

Sadly though, this victory is not something am proud of,

For whatever i did, for sure exceeded my normalcy,

I had no vision of my invisible mistakes,

I ask you the nth time, what wrong did i do you?

The great wrong that created the monster in you today,

It not only scares me but also those who took you for a friend,

What i did must have had a great impact on you,

For those around you say that you are not yourself,

Yet you have no followers in this quest,

What do you gain apart from hate?

I write this letter to apologize for whatever wrong i have done,

I will sanction none to slender my character by building hate in me,

Am sorry i provoked you intensely and for future,

I would ask you that for the sake of everyone in this world, me aside,

Just confront me and lay your hurt feelings,

So that i change, for we believe in change, YES WE CAN,

Am sure it will make the world a better place especially with me in it.

Yours sincerely,
the hated.
Am sure it

AM DIRTY NOW

So Mr. Whoever, you whom i thought infallible,
Miss Me, whom i thought was impregnable,
You had to set the record that the grass was truly greener,
You not only dirtified my outer but also my inner,
Surprise! Am now dirty...

The kind of dirt "my friend", no detergent can remove,
Tried soaking me for a fortnight but surely it wasn't the best move,
Dozed off in the hot shower,
But it was a waste of every hour,
It already dawned, am dirty now...

No penalty can be given to a gentle turtle dove like you,
Since i had society has a thing for you like brew,
You diseased my healthy May and brought along June,
My bad, did i just term you a bright buffoon?
You think? Am now dirty...

But a piece of advice though, believe me you need out,
You don't want to the sedatives to bout,
I beseech you Mr. Whoever, you did a good job turning me into a vengeful psycho,
Run while you can, for i will do you what was done unto Steve Biko,
Tada! My virgin soil is now dirty!
