I can't draw, maybe conclusions
I can't act, maybe in situations
Ok, I lied, Acting I like
I was only trying some rhyme
I find it difficult to reach the highest keys
And my voice aint that deep
In another world, maybe I would be a thief
Wanting what was never mine
You see, I have tried.

I flexed with the movers
Made the shakers tremble
Made those standing on hills level
I consider myself plain
But with a touch of variety
Always longing to explore
I ask why not
And why should I not
I don't want to be lost
Yet I hide in fog,
Leaping like a frog
Hoping to reach my greatest heights.

I forget to stay woke
Some sleep until just before midnight
When the world escapes from reality
I try to reveal the world to me
In the company of noisy crickets and vampires masquerading as mosquitoes

A creature of the night,
When the world goes dark
I come to life
Like the moon, that's my time to shine.

EVERY LIGHT HAS ITS SEASON.

A constant battle exists between wanting to be real and wanting to be right. Sometimes what is real is not perceived as right, and what is right is not always real. Realness is rare. It is often hidden in authentic wrongs that, if not carefully understood, may never be seen in the light of what is right. This is why excellence can emerge from unlikely places, yet disappear before it is ever recognized. Too often, potential is judged before it is nurtured. Senior leaders should guard against micromanagement. Leadership should cultivate, not suffocate. Not every strength resembles your own, and not every path to excellence mirrors the one you took. Just because your sun brings you light does not make my moon and stars any less significant. The sun rules the day, but when night comes, it is absent. Then the moon and the stars become indispensable. Great leadership recognizes that every light has its season, and possesses the wisdom to let each one shine. The wise never dismiss the sun bec...

Artful Deception.

That morning, I stood rooted to the tiled floor with my hands on the poorly done window grills. I had been examining the structure that we called home. The Sun was lazy, casting weak monotonous rays on the ground. It had sufficiently rained the previous night and the air was still fresh.  Since my childhood, I had enjoyed the petrichor, it had a way of pumping life into my dead hopes, and couldn't wait for a few droplets of rain to hit the ground. It was a moment I always craved for. Half past seven in the morning, if not for the birds chirping so melodiously I wouldn't have travelled back to reality. "Normal is boring." I said to myself reaching for my phone that was religiously playing my favorite Bob Marley playlist. Nobody can stop reggae. The tweets that day were not as snappy as I would have wanted. Something was eating me up but still I couldn't figure it out, at least not at a time when Bob was reassuring that things would be alright. Music to me had alway...

SAVE THIS FOR MY LAST

When one day you all wake up, just to find me deep in my sleep, please know that something is amis. When one day from your duties you log in just to see my last seen as 3 hours ago then know I breathed my last and I am gone for good. We all fear death, personally It robbed me a lifeline, and its only today that I got the power to speak. On the night of world poetry day, the 21st of March after words of encouragement from people like you, I lay on bed to rest only for mum to call and this time, not the usual "umenitupa" type of greetings. She was crying, she had lost her best friend, her younger sister who I always referred to as my elder sister. How a day can turn from a hundred to zero real quick, I was shaken to a point that I never shed a tear, and until now I can only afford goosebumps when I think of that day. So when I say bye to the world, please play me some reggae music, a chronixx playlist would serve the old men, and the night before you lay me down six feet, pl...
