Life Rings!

Life Rings!

Life rings are always rigmaroles and pricking

Oh how we desire to be identified as the special ones

How we desire to be in classes and statuses

How we long to draw the lines that envelop few

Every single day we long to join the key rings

The rings of; the G8, the poets, the intellects, the leaders,

The business class, the writers, the believers, the atheists and

Many more unending rings which I’m sure ring a bell to all

We are daily entering or leaving these rings

We build rings to feel secure from others

We build them to form classes away from others

We build them to prove some points to others

We build them to set boundaries between us n’ others

We build them to feed our egos on others

But is life all about us?

How about them; the others? The ‘rest’ as we like to call them...

By building rings don’t we leave others out in insecurity?

By building them don’t we outclass others?

By building them don’t we assume others are pointless?

By building them don’t we exclude others?

By building them don’t we crash others self esteem?

We may never stop building these rings

But we should always be watchful on what each brings

We should endeavour to love beyond the rings

Leave beyond the rings and to invite all into

The one and only eternal ring

 Where justice and righteousness reign

Dispuchos! KigeugeuS!

Premise:  I always find it so hard when dealing with people who are always sitting on the fence and never wanting to be or do anything. I have written this to highlight some pains of dealing with Dipsuchos and such situations. Dipsuchos is the Greek word translated as "double-minded" from dis , meaning "twice," andpsuche , meaning "mind." In Swahili such a person is called Kigeugeu!

Dipsuchos!

The turpitude world

Has created so many dipsuchos twits

They hardly do any but always say many

Giving half suggestions and never 

working to seek any helpful solutions

Has always been their daily agenda

Like tweeters they are always loud

They swing on blaming anyone else

Apart from themselves when things goes wrong

They are always twitting how much they know

Never knowing if to sit or to stand

Never wanting to agree nor disagree

Confusion and confusing is their

Lifetime’s grand mastery

They flow with waves and storms

Like the balloons on a windy day

In their luke-warmness

They claim to be 'cool'

They love sitting on 

The fences and hardly

Love it when the light is too bright

And when the truth is said n' the work done

To them is like a sharp needle's

Prick on a fully blown girnomous

Balloon as they burst out into

 Loud silence of withdrawal

The City Under the Sun!

The City Under the Sun!

In the city under the sun they all meet the sons

No doubter can be a daughter to this great city

For it is the faith and perseverance that gathers all

Of the nation’s people in their multiplicity of diversities

That life has to offer under the heat of the city's sun

The fun of the old golden days has all gone under

As the hustle to be hard has overtaken the loud

Persistent shouts of the sufferers to be heard

Everyone ever in hasty movements with no time

 To tattle as everyone longs transcend life’s tussles

To dodge the drowning ship of the dreaded poverty

To overcome the daily roaring beast of corruption

N’ meet the social responsibility of family provision

In the city under the sun they all meet the sons

No doubter can be a daughter to this great city

Every single morning the harsh transport sector awaits

In the hands of the matatu drivers who are ever drunk of

Unending passion to competition as their matatu touts

Celebrate watching the once existent traffic soberness flow

 Deep down the river of the city’s historical forgotten beauty

The traffic jam is like blood inside a fainted saint who longs

To restore it back to flow not for flows sake but to give back life

The longing to be at work in time every early morning n’get back

 Home early in the evening to be with family or friends is ever

 Seasoned with hot spiced stressful and uncalled for traffic jam

Bringing a feeling of deep helpless emotional torture to many

In the city under the sun they all meet the sons

No doubter can be a daughter to this great city

Life calls for more than any person would normally be in

 Willingness to offer sadly for the prize is never proportional

 To the hustle n’ the price that majority the people have to part

 With daily without any option but to painfully offer themselves

To the city’s scorching sun from above, below and the sides as

Everyone endeavors to be the fastest early bird and to be in time

To get at least a piece of the city’s bitter competitive worm while

The nature of life demanding everyone to walk faster, work harder

Leave earlier, speak louder, charger higher, spend more, chat lesser,

Sleep lesser, eat lesser, drink lesser, health lesser yet hardly anyone 

 Earns more in the fast moving, fast growing, traffic jammed Nairobi

True Hope!

True Hope!

My confidence and

True hope

I will not build on

My own strengths or abilities

Nor my own weaknesses

For just so far they have

N’ can take me even

In this world

Where the soul

Finds not any

Lasting rest

For deeply I long

To see the beauty 

That glitters beyond

The comprehension

Of my mortal being

That which not a 

Single of the experiences 

On earth can fully

Quantify nor satisfy is what

I long to get hold

Of one day

My confidence and

True hope

Shall I wholly peg

On him from whom

The eternal promise I have

Received and on

Whose blood my

Righteousness has been

Graciously granted

For indeed in my

Mortal body and

My countable days

I find not enough

Promise and hope

To rely on but

On him whom I believe

A new nature

Imperishable have

I been mercifully

Given connecting

Me to the path

 Eternal

The Daily Visitor!

The Daily Visitor!

Hi I thought I would pop around

And just say hi as I

Check how you are doing this day

It is not my first time to come round

As in I always think about you

Every single day and I always desire

To let you know that I do really love

You, yes it’s you that I mean

In fact my Father loved you so much

That he sent me his only son

To come down and leave the throne

For the sake of saving you

And I tell you what it was not easy for

Me to come down and die on the cross

But coz I loved my Father and He loved

You, yes it’s you that I mean

I came so that you would not end up in

Hell to perish but that when you believe

In me and what my father sent me to do

You would have eternal life

I hope you understand what eternal means

Forever and ever and ever

Just before I go I leave you one question

 Where do you want to spend your eternity?

Heart Bursts!

Hearts bursts!

Seated right beside her queenly blossom
I joyfully smiled back to the beautiful rose
Deep joy vibrating within my glowing heart
Opening my entirety in humble preparedness
To ask her out to be my life's portion to dote on

Like a wise father’s son I had revised so well
My notes when it comes to starting a journey
Hoped to guide two into a lasting life affair
With a girl I have always longed to meet across
Life’s valleys n’ hills her I sought to love n’ cherish

She laid her heart bare before her beloved
To read the amazing lyrics of a love song she
Had been composing to the man who would
Become her delight in all the days of her living
How treasured I felt listening n’ watching her  

Like a clever mother’s daughter she too knew
Her role so well and in patience and faithfulness
She had been waiting with hope for this journey
The glamorous feeling within her was clearly visible
As her elegant smile stole my heart and breath

We felt so overwhelmed and peaceful seated right
Inside each other’s hearts and as we exchanged the
Punctilious glances to each other our hearts were
Gladly nodding with great love and calmly I made my
Deep and sincere desires clear to her in soft words

The words from the bottom of my heart n’ soul felt like
A river of love being poured out into a golden jar of
My lovers heart and as I patiently looked straight into
Her lips I saw her words of acceptance drop like honey
Into my heart as both hearts burst into delighted dancing

Woe unto ye the earthlings!

Sin!

Oh of the things most complicated you are

How shall I explain you without complicating things

For those who dearly long to understand your evil

 Ways and your false invitations to humans see how many

 In your snare you have caught for none of us is immune

 Of you and your grip in our natural life see how many

 Find comfort in their sinful ways instead of understanding

 You and seeking help they have sought to waste time

 Disqualifying him in whom you stand inferior and defeated

Woe unto ye the earthlings who know not what sin doeth!

Oh sin! Damned are they who know not you and know 

Not that they know not you for them you have enslaved

In your snare within their fallen nature have they been

Content in their evil ways against their creator n’ all creation

Woe too unto them who have known you and chosen your

Path of destruction them you daily mislead causing death n’ evil

as you daily their hearts and souls hold in fallen captivity

the way of folly n’ pride have they chosen not even acknowledging

him who controls their daily breath sustaining their lives with care

Woe unto ye the earthlings who know not where sin leadeth!

Oh sin! Happy are they who have known n’ seen you n’

Understood the pain of your sting for only them have known

Their fallen state to mourn and repent of their sin’s stain

Wiping it away by the Son of the Almighty's blood shed on 

The cross where your are forever defeated with right n' light

Such beings who have believeth in the given Son will perish not

For in humility and faith have they accepted the loving invitation

Into the Almighty’s undeserved grace have their redemption been given

And they rejoice in the promised gift of the Saviour’s eternal life

Woe unto ye the earthlings who know not how sin to defeat!

Seen!
