SHE'S WAR ZONE!


















...it kept re-playing.
for years,even years we both worked hard
to make our friendship vaster than your daddy's vineyard
vaster,vaster than seven empires
after so many years,even years
our friendship became better than any of our pears,
many times,even times we were called brothers
though we came from different mothers
easily known afar off like the twin towers
until we met the small-little-brat-JACKASS,
she pounced on and sucked life out of our friendship
with communication gone,we faced our maiden hardship
now polarized,as distant as the star
don't know maybe she'd play the soothing guitar,
I knew she hasn't won
on this simple truth I've hung,
mr advocate
with ten of you she'd still be intestate
you were watching as fire came&destroyed everything
your friend orchestrated everything
she's from the devil
like every girl that is 'beautiful'.
He might not be in the class of Albert,Luther,Aristotle or Gamaliel, but never would he be run-over by that sucking little girl!

A heartfelt farewell.

A heartfelt farewell. 









They say life is In stages
One phase leads to the next
Each marked by varying ages
But some still transcend this context

If only life were free
And anything I want I could catch
I'd order an ocean of tea
Spending time with you all on a private yatch

If all the papers in the world were money
And I'm not so so broke
New buka becomes not so far for our regular moment of festivity
And I'd share with you a billion cans of coke

If you can keep your head when all about you
Are losing theirs and blaming it on you
If you can trust yourself when all men doubt you
But make allowance for their doubting too

If you can wait and not be tired by waiting
Or being lied about,don't deal in lies
Or being hated don't give way to hating
And yet don't look too good nor talk too wise

If you can dream and not make dreams your master
If you can think and not make thoughts your aim
If you can meet with triumph and disaster
And treat them both the same

We'll party
We'll exchange endearing words
We'll hold on to you for eternity
when it's time to leave us

We think you'd be around forever
Til goodbye came along
Though we won't always be together
At least we have this bond

we are glad to see you leave this citadel
It is not without tears and pain of a thousand deaths
We bid a heartfelt farewell
And hope to meet again as well

We may not remember,the times when we had few
But never never never ,may we forget the faces of you
We wishing you a future which shines so bright
For you have brought us untold delight.

SUICIDE_JOURNEY OF NO RETURN.(SEQUEL)

SUICIDE_JOURNEY OF NO RETURN (SEQUEL)








A glowing room
Filled with broken dreams,
Joy as we see
Nothing like it seems,

Two diamond rings on the altar
Either they go or I take the elixir,
Borderline is taking over
When would ultimateX be over?

In my tears, you could watch a castle
In my fears, you could paddle a boat
Rip my soul, tear my body apart,
Put an arrow into my heart feeling the wrath at last

The prayers couldn't resurrect,
So downtrodden, so downcast.
Each day, longing for the old me
Deep down decaying in the dust

Life a gift, me done
Out of my skin let it burn,
Sometimes I just want to go and never return
Far from it, want to run.

No one sees surface-beneath
Could be a knot of a rope a long walk into a transformer,
Even a sip of poison laced water,
Maybe carbon-dioxide choke

Now I know the time is nigh
Never would it be another day,
You don't get to choose how to die
Except you walk down this way,

What if nature did choose?
Mere mortals, how could we refuse?
A little respite I want from above
Oh God, I deserve more love.




"If you don't attach yourself to people and desires, never would your heart be broken “   Jackie Chan.

FOR THE GIRL I USED TO BE!






I used to be that girl..
That girl who believed with all her heart that love was just right there waiting
That everyone was good
That pain, indescribable pain, didn't exist
I used to believe with every fibre of my being
That love was everywhere
If only I'll stop to take it
I believed in the perfect
That bad things didn't come and go
That life doesn't hold more pain than joy
That love was everlasting
And we all had a piece of it

Until...
One rainy day
I saw the truth
The painful
Heartrending
Heartbreaking truth
That love didn't always exist
That fire didn't always burn
Love wasn't perfect
And cute
And sweet
And always without pain
Sometimes love hurts too
Sometimes the people you love
Will hurt you
Break your heart into a tiny little pieces
Pieces that could never be whole again
That innocent
Big hearted
Fun loving
Trusting
Believing girl
Was gone
Gone....

I used to be that girl...
Who wore her heart out on her sleeve
Who decided to stop looking
For love in people
But who chose to find love
In the pages of a book
Pages of novels written
Both old and new
I found that forever
In the written word
So I chose to block out the pain that way
To find happy ever after
In fairy tales
And to believe that
Just around the corner
Mine will come to take me out
Of the pain I sometimes feel
I saw myself in everyone of those characters
I became them...

Until...
One day,
I couldn't
I couldn't see myself there again
I couldn't find my joy there again
That forever love

SOME DAYS




SOME DAYS............





Some days are better than others
Some days you won't be able to get up
Some days the weight of life will press you down
Some days you won't be able to stop the tears
Some days life will seem unlivable

Some days heaven will fall
Some days no one will be there
Some days comfort will elude you

SONG OF A DANCER





THE SONG OF A DANCER.



It was a sound I danced to all semester,the first in a row of two. All day long,at night when I was sleeping on my grave-like bed. In the ministry, while hanging with my friends,in front of my computer and sometimes even inside the kingdom hall.
 

I was ever restless,ever active. I swung my head like a small child refusing to give cookies out. It made my hands go back and forth like those of Leonardo Da vinci in the process of drawing one of the greatest work of art-Mona lisa.

LAND OF HERITAGE




You hold our story,
In your very large hands,
Like treasure in a chest,
Valuable is our story,
So are your hands that held it.
Your voice speaks culture, shouts tradition,
And reveals indigenous peculiarities,
From your deep roots have grown time tested branches.

Like a mother with a large heart,
You extended your warm hand,
To all that trace their steps to you,
Giving generously to them,
The gifts that mother nature,
Has so endowed you with.

With your land mass, you support thousands of body mass,
As you hold up their feet, with your ground.
Trees grow, and fruits are harvested,

Effect of first try.

Once again,The sun would shine
Albeit the exact variation,
Once again,The moment would be mine
Albeit the same direction.

Forever,I hold my peace
With my life I'd hold my own,
No need for a repeat
For my heart is made of stone!

MISSING ME? (NUGA 2014)

Will she miss me? I asked myself. That's a strong yes! Why won't she?
The girl comes to the market across the dusty road in this war torn town to transact business deals everyday.
What could have caught her attention so much? Since the first day she looked up and saw me on my floor,she had been gwaking at me. Could it be my freshness,being an aristocratic guy,or the fact that she saw me in a house that no one had stayed for a while?
Whatever her reason, she has to find another way of satisfying that need,because that's exactly what I'm doing myself,leaving here to find an alternative way to live without my problems- hunger,living in isolation,security worries,dust and pressures from school. I know my destination "the city of unfallen kings".

Amazing People (NUGA 2014)


As I looked down on the ever bubbling city-market below my floor,I saw old automobiles,dilapidated buildings,dirty kiosks,tattered roofs,dust-producing-factory called road,beaming smiles on peoples faces and beyond their bodies I could guess that their minds were free of all my problems-the eviction,security worries,the problem of loneliness,hunger,lack of trust and an ever present hope of been accepted by the ones I cared about the most.
Maybe they live for each day? How will I know, when I've sunk into the possibility of never surviving this terrible period!

Forever gone


In the dense darkness
You brought shimmering light
At my point weakest
You infused me with might

The one to carry one
Of a thousand legions though in number I am one
A progressive condition
For without you I'd be forever gone.
