Poetry: *** The moment I saw you cry***

*** The moment I saw you cry***
I will always remember this bright afternoon,
When my vision so darkened,
My veins so chilled,
My heart startled,
I think I was changed,
When I finally realized that forever was what you wanted,
The moment I saw you cry.

You were out there by yourself,
I shut you away from where you wanted to live,
But this afternoon,
I wanted to hold you but I died inside,
I wanted to know you more, but guilt killed me,
I wanted to die with you,
The moment I saw you cry.

I saw you standing there in a bare body,
Straight from the bathroom,
Those drops still on your toned figure,
But you barely stood straight,
Your eyes were shocked,
You shivered and you were cold,
The moment I saw you cry.

You looked at me so deeply,
I was frightened,
I was sorry,
I had ruined us,
I saw those heavy tears,
You were like a little child,
The moment I saw you cry.

I ended it so soon,
I was very afraid of breaking your heart,
Especially when I discovered you wanted me for keeps,
Nevertheless, I did it anyway,
You were all by yourself,
I cried my heart out,
The moment I saw you cry.

I followed you to the bedroom,
I wanted to hold you,
I wanted to reverse my words,
However, I could not,
I wanted to apologize,
I was so hurt,
The moment I saw you cry.

I felt the love I felt the first day,
But this time it was cold,
It was betrayed,
I wish I never existed at that moment,
You were deeply hurt,
I could tell with every painful sob you gave,
The moment I saw you cry.

I came on top of your jittering bare body,
Watched those tears head down to your ears,
Your running nose so red,
I cried too much and kissed you,
I tasted your tears and swallowed every drop,
I was touched,
The moment I saw you cry.

I will always remember,
Your shaky touch on my back that evening,
You pulled me closer to feel your heartbeat,
You did not say a word,
I knew you wanted me forever,
I wanted to turn your world around,
The moment I saw you cry.

You were so shattered,
You did not say a word,
You were so sad,
So shocked,
I could not hold those words anymore,
I touched your face and cried,
The moment I saw you cry.

I said I was sorry,
I promised to love you more,
You kissed me,
It lasted short though,
I DID IT AGAIN and I regret,
The moment I saw you cry.

Poetry: Police Torture

VICTIMS OF TORTURE!!! Why do policemen beat so indiscriminately and unprofessionally? Oh, defending themselves from peace loving unarmed civilians? Does it have to be in a manner of such terrible brutality? Rigging of elections, killing of civilians, beating demonstrators, suppressing of media, threats and extra judicial assassinations! Who will protect the innocent lot? Does it feel powerful to act in disregard of morality and law, Men, women and children always on the run, Feeling to the law some are above and some below, Who will come to the rescue of the ordinary Kenyan? How can a police loot in disguised name of searching? Beat, injure kill and go scot-free? Who will see the plight of children still crying? Restoring order-using firearms is one allegation they will never admit to see. Women and elderly are beaten live on camera, No wonder police recruitment is based on height, Colonization cases which are so gone an era! Behaving to satisfy your sa...

Poetry: SLAVES

Slaves It is because you don’t see me, You don’t value me, I try to see, But your wrath blinds me, I cry for help from up above, But your supremacy and authority chain me, My children are hungry and almost to die, But you have taken away my wife, You have made their nurse a sex slave, I’m around just waiting for the next stage, The separation of my children when my smile shall fade. You have neither compassion nor a heart, You disregard I have blood that runs my heart, Yet you call me an ape from the forest, But I honestly think you are shoddier than that, You are neither a monster nor a heartless beast, I have tried to understand your impact on my fate, My wife is aghast by the portion of life, My children bewildered throughout the murky and the night, Their lives shall shrivel once I get into this boat, I will never lay my eyes on my family, I will have to toil and get trodden dearly, I just hope that my gods are watching carefully,...

For the Dream of 5 Years: Chapter Ten: The Dark City

Dave waited to see how the public would receive the outcome of the tally. He knew that if anyone were the first to react, they would be from the city, the aggrieved, the determined for a revolution, the Daves. He was surprised how people could steal so plainly and openly without hiding a thing. There was a lot of noise in the neighbourhood, almost deafening sounds of people chanting with excitement, hundreds of footsteps, maybe thousands, moving with joy, songs, and dancing. They seemed to have come from one side of the neighbourhood moving to the other, with vuvuzelas, drums, and singing to the name 'Freeman. They praised God’s appointment and his father for bringing forth a king. They were happy. Another group screamed, cursed, and hurled anything they could find on their way towards the Statehouse, towards those that seemed happy, throwing stones at the buildings, vehicles, and anyone. Another group was armed heavily, in uniform and helmets, holding shields and hurling tear ga...
