Poetry: My four sisters


My Four Sisters
Rachael is the funniest of them all,
Always carefree and dreaming to be tall,
Jokes most sacred and of serious matters,
Record keeper of a lifetime letters,
Always made up for every occasion,
Not afraid of attracting attention,
Adventurous and the greatest risk taker,
The only threat to Mama’s blood pressure.

Out and about is her real game,
Very difficult and unlikely to tame,
Time conscious has never been in her vocabulary,
Keep’s you waiting with no worry,
Very bright and dangerously cunning,
Never will take seriously to any warning,
Killing everyone is her sole mission,
With laughter, suspense and anticipation.

Judy is the sexiest in the family,
Athletic figure with a hair styled carefully,
Great taste of fashion and terribly boastful,
Incredibly cute, hardworking and a soul so beautiful,
A lady of few words and lots of smiles,
Jovial but when angry skips meals,
Often on the wrong side of mom’s commandments,
Receives punishments on unpleasant announcements.

Cherishes duties ending up with cooking,
Well informed on what falls where, when serving,
Very loyal and never selfish,
Invites a thousand to her only dish,
A family recognized ‘Miss Traveler,’
Always on the move to unleash and discover,
Distinguished by her nurturing abilities,
Grows anything to quench her curiosity.

Blixen is the coolest of the sisters,
Curious blogger of celebrities and superstars,
A close friend to all and never sells out,
The most organized and almost smart,
Most likely future death victim of Rachael’s jokes,
Laughing at anything even the faces she makes,
She has a desire to do her school work,
But sleep gives her no chance to glance at any book,

Short, but has a dream of becoming a model,
Fats and junks have given her another body model,
She has embarked on body exercise,
But can’t help the sight of cakes and cheese,
At times she can be very naïve,
But always has a way to survive,
Her dreams are out of this world,
Hopefully she’ll make it to German land.

Sarah is the family’s most innocent,
The family’s adorable pet,
The sweetest and amazingly beautiful,
With the lightest complexion but heavily tearful,
The youngest and everyone’s messenger,
To sneak out for play, she’s quite a trickster,
Rachael fastens her breath,
By making fun of her two big front teeth.

Never lets a bag land in its place,
Does a thorough search for any snack trace,
Terrible at getting into one’s nerves,
Especially during hide and seek games,
Can also be very careless,
Worrying and keeping mommy on toes,

But still Mama’s great bundle of joy and peace.

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...
