silence talks

I've learnt a lesson
And seen treason
I have discovered my world
All made of words
And promises unfulfilled

There are human dogs
Should i call the hogs
They'll eat you till morgue
When wearing logs
That they're friends

They're after money
When calling honey
and finding journey
That goes to disney
A cat and mouse chase

Silence talks
After this walks
Harboring the docks
Yes,humans chokes
I have learnt a lesson

Ettiquette in speaking

I am thinking before speaking
And eating before speaking
I am listening before speaking
And choosing before speaking

This well

How deep is this well
that i dug today
With a hoe and mattock
And a shovel too

How strong is this well
that i built today
With concrete and cement
And a plumb line too

How pure is this well
that i want to drink from
With my family and friends
And the village too

Am just a man

I'm just a man
Girl,it was a mistake
One not intended
But it passed

You are lucky though
We did it in the house
And it was not long
Was it not interesting?
Was that not fair?

We celebrated my dear
And hear this well
I meant no harm
After all we had fun
We both contributed

The time slipped away
Now you come back
and complain
You say i led to it!
Dear,am just a man

A wish on hangman noose

I see that i perish in this rope
Not that i want
thus i die
Every man's stop
though different to everyone

Look
I will be worthless
Just like others dead
The never decide whom to
be burried with

See
Maybe i will be next to a priest
A holy one
And me a killer, killed
an evil one
Maybe i will be homed near a minister
A rich one
And me a killer, killed
A poor one finding

In a coffin we will all be suffocated
Our bodies and wishes locked
We will not be moving
Will we not be the same...All
No freedom

I wish to be incinerated
After they end my life
Please throw me in the ocean
There i will be of help
I will hover all over
And many will feel me
Having freedom

Rose flower

She gave me a rose flower
Not seeing the thorns
Thinking she loved me
Not hurting me
But they tore me apart
The thorns and her love

The jail

It is so silent
The room too cold
Webs at each corner
And the bars they used...
They jailed us
Took our freedom
Freedom to talk
Freedom to listen
Freedom to love
Freedom to work
But
They didn't take our brains
We still think.

Songs of corruption

Turn to the 12th page
of this hymn book
Sing the psalms with me
Praises for graft

It is good to give
And to receive
Better the hands that receiveth
And one that giveth
They are equal

Food is for stomach
And stomach for food
Like a well they dry
Always needing a re-fill
And services too

Mouth solves all problems
It gives stomach swift work
But they eat not alone
The worms!
Some are unwanted

Who blames who
The mouth never crushed food
Stomach never digested
But worms ate some bit
Stomach complains

Run to the doctor
Stomach needs surgery
And the mouth be closed
Remove worms!
For a healthy growth

Let us pray

Close your eyes we pray
and also meditate
Remember to put your hats
They make no difference
Worn or put aside
They are torn

Oh God
You who gave beetle a black
coat
Give us,give us
So we may go to parliament

Oh God
You who gave a pig appetite
Give us,give us
So we may eat all

Oh God
You who gave a parrot good
mouth
Give us,give us
So we may speak nothing

Oh God
You who gave elephant intelligence
Give us,give us
So we may never forget our roots

My mind

Give me a paper and a pen
I write what i see and hear
Hands speak for my mind
Pare will hold ink
As it shows my heart
What is blend in it
The flow of my mind

Never again

Never again
Shall we fight one another
And hate one another

Never again
Shall we instill fear
And scare everyone

Never again
Shall we burn
And destroy our properties

Never again
Shall we kill one another
And steal from ourselves

Never again
Shall we insult one another
And accuse from colour

Two wrongs never make
it right
Understanding is all needed
Never again

The Verdict

tik,tok,tik,tok
the clock ticked
Time quickly passed
My turn gave itself
I was to face judgment
But no verdict
No man could quiz me
I was alone
Alone with my conscience
I a judge,plaintiff and defendant

Dirty words

I dug too deep
But not ready to enter
Maybe...
It was not that way
We lost the tack
Or sleep of the tongue
Dirty words?wash themselves

Prepare for battle

Take this news to the
whole village
Let all hear in each house
prepare for the battle
A fight against the epidemic

All members are to participate
Young and old folks together
Let the war horns be blown
We are fighting ill spirits

Children,men,women
Come all wit your weapons
Be armed with sticks,clubs
and whips
Rush from your huts in happiness
But BEWARE!
No swords and spears
Blood will not be shed

fever

Aaaacho!

Let me sneeze

Without a squeeze

I have eaten cheese

Pasted on peas

When feeling the breeze

Cough!cough!

I have a cold

That's not bold

Nor needs a nod

I lost my Chord

Not the code

I can add

Mmmmh!

Let me warm

Together with mom

She has cooked a yam

Not what i am

It grew near a dam

That's our farm

Aaaah!

I slept on the seater

I had a sweater

The yam was sweater

It had many eaters

Because its not bitter

That's a detour

humming bird

Sing me a song little bird

Raise your vice and sing

Like a violin sooth my ears

Make them fall in love

With you humming bird

Flap your wings in rhythm

Follow the beat of your heart

I wait in anxiety

Like a groom i wait

For you humming bird

Be slow but not too slow

Say every word that i hear

Add love in it my dear

For sure you will get me

Loving you humming bird

Be precise my bird

Make me meditate

Perch on my shoulders

To whisper a song for me

Humming bird

letter to mother

Receive greetings mother

Whole i hope you are

Did the doctor treat thee?

Hope he stopped disturbance

Pain had occupied you

It made you thin

Do i call it slim?

My journey was safe

The sun city received me

It had lost me in

I was swallowed by people

This was until sunset

The city is big

Mother, i saw houses!

Not like ons at the village

They touch the sky

And have moving things

They climb to the top

I think to the heavens

Then to the bottom mother

Jacob took me to one

I was frightened

It never grow dark mother

When the sun runs away

There are lights all over

Bright as the sun

And the people never change

Morning as the night

They never go to their houses

The city is very busy

Remember Koya's words?

He told of the city evils

Mother,i have seen death

I even contemplated one

Robbers had attacked us

They took away everything

Mother,even my teeth

I thought of dying

Life was difficult then

City life

Worry not !

Am a man of your womb

I work hard daily

Change came yesterday

It brought a stool

And will stay for long mother

I can now buy tea and bread

Not forgetting a daily newspaper

Mother,

Everyone has someone

My eyes have been open

And i have seen a lovely girl

She carries all beauty

My heart is no longer mine

It belongs to her

She stole it away

My body has been feeling weak

The knees cannot withstand her

They always collapse

Is this how you felt mother

When daddy was wooing you?

The girl has made me write

She is not one of ours

Her language is different

But her colour is as yours

I know she is like you

Do not dissatisfy my point

Mother,accept her as she is

Allow me to go mother

Because i have to

My pen has felt tired

Let me go and strengthen it

Do not forget the full stop

I will start there next time

Am not yet finished mother

That girl is wonderful

I wont stop talking

I will always write it to you

My heart has loved

I will be back to you soon.

i saw you

I saw you

Yes i saw you

As you passed by

I fell for you

I did fall in love

With a golden heart

I saw you

Yes i saw you

As i said hi

Your smile drew me closer

I fell in love

Love at first sight

I saw you

Yes i saw you

As you gave me your hand

Your beauty got me whole

I did fell in love

With an angel indeed

I saw you

yes i saw you

As we had the session together

I knew the path to your heart

I did fell in love

My first love

I saw you

Yes i saw you

As we gave each other our hearts

I wished to hold you forever

I fell in love

With the flower of my life
