Life is the sum total of our choices
Many a times we ain't ready for the consequences
Life has never been a bed of roses
But rather a mixture of hot spices
It doesn't matter who you are!

Many contemporary poets write about their own lives and emotions, using poetry as a means of self-expression.
Life is the sum total of our choices
Many a times we ain't ready for the consequences
Life has never been a bed of roses
But rather a mixture of hot spices
It doesn't matter who you are!
My Kenya never disappoints, every day is a new episode!
More like an episode in a thriller movie!
Sometimes it's horrific! Most times actually...
We listen to the news with great anticipation
Sometimes on the edge of our seats
Like we watching a horror movie.
Anything, and I mean anything can happen.
How unfathomable is it that doctors strike for protective gear!
A governor is impeached by 'his friends' while on retreat!
With them.
A man eat man society.
A bandit economy indeed.
Supply of air to government is paid without due diligence!
Who does that?!
A passerby is awarded multi million tender!
By just walking by!
Prices of commodities go up despite government subsidies.
Warped thinking and misplaced priorities.
We have an acute shortage of responsible leaders
But plenty of unscrupulous, selfish and individualistic characters
Individuals whose utterences defy all the tenets of morality.
Or do they reflect on the electorate?
Do we the voters fuel their impunity
Due to our lack of unity
Is it political immaturity?
Or just pure lack of responsiblity!
I'm lost of word to express this situation
We as a people are lost in confusion
Some of us I must say, are in delusion
Thinking that politicians will bring salvation
We are fools without any exception
We praise and glorify corruption
As we trample on the constitution
That was meant to bring sanitation
To this great nation
They form a task force even for office decoration
Today it's about CBC education, corruption!
Everyday there's a commission to investigate a commission
Indeed it is a pathetic situation
They plan the economy based on donation
Then call it economic emancipation
This really beats my imagination
How did we get to this suffocation
We escape to social media for consolation
Tweeting jokes to evade our irritation
Because our real stories are a depressing narration
We would rather dwell in deflection
Change must come in this generation
For the sake of future generation
But we must be ready to step out
with determination
And fight fort the emancipation
Of our beloved nation.
We must put aside tribal inclination
And build a national foundation
For a deliberate people unification
Towards a free and fair nation
We must stand together or perish as fools.
These crooks are stealing even money for schools
They tender for machines but supply tools
We must take a stand!
For how long shall we stand and watch them loot.
Or the thorn doesn't hurt if it not on my foot!
We have to remove the tree together with the root.
We must take a stand!
If the theft doesn't bother you, you're an accomplice
You secretly wish you could have a slice
You're shall forever remain a disgrace
We must take a stand!
We need a paradigm shift and deliberate action
We must put a stop to this wanton corruption
These looters must be sentenced to eternal damnation
We must take a stand!
The time is now for the masses to take a stand
We mustn't let these criminals lead by command
But together our taxes we must defend
We must take a stand!
What is this Corona virus?
Many still wonder!
Where are you from? Wuhan? Italy?
So many tales have been told...
About your origin!
Some say you were in manufactured in a lab
Oooh! Or Did you come from a bat?
Are you be a bio weapon?
Conspiracy theories have flooded the web
Each person have their truth!
Bill wants to control the world!
The New World Order; they say!
It's just a matter of time,
Before mandatory vaccination is declared.
One thing is for sure though:
You've changed our lives forever.
- I choose emphathy. I choose love.
Why do we quarrel You might wonder! When we got all the tools For effective communication ? People issues. Complex technologies Sophisticate...
