Morning Glory

06:31 5/01/19. Woke up from my sleep a few minutes ago, thanks to these mosquitos that have proven that my blood is sweeter than water (read chaser) half woke, I stretch my hand for the socket, caressing my mattres softly and calmly that if it was some lady trust me that her first conversation with her friends would have been about it.

Okay, those are fantasies and wishes, but its been long since I last saw horses leave alone camels, my friend Norman has always insisted that I write what I wished for, because I never experienced a thing, give that young man credits hata kama ni bamba mbao, he was right that one time. On the background is some dope spoken word by Ras Godisoh and this one line leaves me snapping saying kalii, he says, "utajuaje utamu wa lake yet unaoga kwa basin."

I woke up thinking about a certain piece, "Don't trust a poet" and was putting the lines straight beore i could "chora" you know how these things go, I guess not. Before I could even give you guys the reasons of not trusting poets,  another thought crosses my mind, and many others follow, the same old cycle its her again.

It rained the previous night, not heavy though, I guess the cats were somewhere on their phones, deeply engrossed, being lied to by the mongrels that the puppies and other exotic breeds had no chance. Why should we go round in circles yet we could square things up once and forall. Our swahili brothers say, haya mapenzi wamevulia shati, I now know why these boys fancy being shirtless in their rooms trying to expand their lungs with the holy herb.

I find it absurd and really uncalled for, for someone to hide the truth from you in the pretence of protecting your feelings. I mean, apart from  bombings, what else has great fatalities if not being lied to? Leave alone heart breaks, huko tuli hama, thanks to the move on phrase that became way more common after the disputed 2017 presidential elections.

Anyone who lies to you is a fraud, and should be stoned not to death but with angry kogallo fans so that incase they survive, they will have a story to tell. Its 2019, and the inspirational posts on your whatsapp statuses are really giving the Psyche to pen down. Do more prose, and forget about the cons.

If you feel the urge of ending a relationship of any kind please do it when the year is still young, in King kaka's words, "bado imefungwa nappy" and the shit wont be as smelly and messy as it would have been when the year is ending.

Time is a valuable asset, thats why when most of you girls hit the floor to tic toc, we brace pon it without wasting a minute, for we know that second chances never really last. Thirty seven minutes later, I'm still looking for reasons why one should not trust a poet, when you reach at the end of this, please do tell me, 13 reasons why.

Please Get Tired.

I write, You notice, You assume, I get disconnected And curse. " It's hard to show love to a stone" of no worth it is  making love to a marble, Shinny and elegant, Only adapting to the degree of my loving when in the same room And nothing is the same when we hug and part ways. I write You marvel Share it to friends And say "That was master class" You find it hard to read between the lines. Not born for the art, so you wont relate Our connection is relative, Like an uncle to a niece It's hi when we meet and high time when we don't. I notice You care less I get disconnected I miss her But who listens? I refuse to build a foundation on a forced connection I don't want to end up losing myself when you finally slip away like she did. Please get tired, and let me try to win her love back. I write Get tired And hope That if tomorrow ever comes with the darkness it left with, Then I would sit and wait for her to come aroun...

An open letter to prof Kosgei

Mr. Prof, first i would like to congratulate you for your newly acquired status. Its never easy getting to the helm of any large institution, and Moi university was no exception. Work has to continue, prof Laban did much as the acting VC and that's why most of us feel that he was short changed but lets hope you will fill in his shoes. Firstly, the ongoing gate construction has been long over due, Hope this will be your number one agenda in making Moi University great again. As much as we appreciate Prof. Laban's effort to uplift the facial outlook of the university, this has been going at a snail's pace and with the rains now here, the institution can be easily passed for a construction site. Comrades also have on their wish list the renovations of lecture halls, some have been reduced to structures with ancient roofings. A quick good example is the lecture theatres 1, 2 and 3. Not only are the seats in a poor condition but also the blackboards windows and even the doors...

Dont cry when am gone

* Don't cry when am gone * Enough with the tears, Keeping your eyes wet wont help Forgive me for being too insensitive but trust me no man is worth your salty tears No man is allowed to hold your thoughts captive Asking yourself, why you? I am not telling you this because I want you I am not telling you this because I care I am telling you this because at some point I will break your heart I am telling you this because You say all men are dogs and that I am no exception I am telling you this, to sound as a warning Not to cry for me when am gone Do not break down when I break your heart You are too weak to handle two broken pieces I guess that is why you keep falling in love with any man who promises you a happy time. I want to promise you some few things One, Let me guarantee you no guarantees Let me promise no promises That's all I can promise Because Because I hate it when women cry over we men In the spirit of feminism, I hear you lie to yourself that w...
