DYNAMIC NAIROBI

I come from the city in the hill

Where the sun rises with a chill

Traffic jams, everyday’s drill

Daily congestion in the bar & grill

The dynamic Nairobi

The city in the sun

The place to run

When looking for fun

I am number one fan

Of dynamic Nairobi

From downtown to uptown

Anything you desire you can own

But beware, my friend lest you drown

In the fast moving life of this town

The dynamic Nairobi

It is a strangely friendly city

Bursting with hunger for creativity

Of a people driven by desire and creativity

To change and improve the vicinity

Of dynamic Nairobi

Everyday is an episode

Of the Nairobi adventure series

Beautiful ladies, exquisite hotels

Fancy cars and powerful machines

The dynamic Nairobi.

My Unwritten: Fatuma

My Unwritten: Fatuma.

My mind is flooding with thought

Thoughts about her plight

Of late she can’t fight

Her name is Fatuma

She is a caring mother

Of children with no father

The only courage she can gather

Her name is Fatuma

She can’t see nor hear

Always living in fear

With a constant tear

Her name is Fatuma

When ridiculed she smiles

And sit on the tiles

As her worries piles

Her name is fatuma

She worries about you

She cries for me and you

Every time she tell you

Her name is Fatuma

You burst in laughter

Thinking you're smarter

Or even better

Her name is Fatuma

She has riches and wealth

Only devoid of good health

To propel her forward stealth

Her name is fatuma

She needs to be heard

Before she turns hard

On you,oppressing bastard

Her name is Fatuma.

To be continued....

Procrastination

Procrastination

In the deep dark night

Maybe after midnight

I think I was in fright

Dreaming about the knight

Holding a sword that illuminated the dark night

Or maybe it was my imaginations

Or even a nightmare

I froze as if in a stance-scared!

Drowned in sweat

Trembling with fear

Sharp pain, pierces my chest

Blood oozes, I gasp for breath

What a dream!

I am still at the couch…

Page one of advanced calculus

My final exam is tomorrow

Hope to remember everything I read!

Angry I stumble to bed…

And curse Adam Smith & Karl max

They make economics look easy

But I can’t relate with it now

Especially after reading classical conditioning theory!

I will leave academics to the Greeks

Let me see if these words will form a poem

And recite it to the birds & crickets

After all I have spoken my heart!

Choices

Today I make a solemn vow
Not ever to take a bow
Even under an arrow and bow
But to bow to my conscience.
I choose.

Today, in earnest I declare
That I'll not fear but dare
To remain focused and clear
Of my duties to take care
And protect my affairs
I choose.

I choose
Not to engage in trivial and frivolous talk
Not to relent in this long freedom walk
Not to listen to conventional tales of folk
But forge ahead valiantly,because ticking is the clock
I choose.

I choose
To associate with folks of value
Persons of principle and positive cue
Friends who never have the 'friendship due'
But who ensure you add value
The kind who i call friends true
I choose.

I choose
To make the right choices
That lead to eternal rejoices
And minimal or no consequences
For I choose to live and let live
I choose.
