You are one lovely gift i will never have
Missing all that could have been for us
Missing the chance to be a part of you
Missing the chance to share a private joke
Am Missing what we never had....

A Letter to Dedan Kimathi
Dear Kimathi,
Today i saw your statue, it made me want to cry. Tall, firm and watching over us...yet we have lost our way. Kimathi since December 27th when i cast my vote things have changed, i haven't seen my friends for so long for they are afraid to come out of their houses.
You wonder why and yet you went to the bush to fight for our freedom, things have changed. We have power hungry leaders who have managed to make Kenya there battle field, they made us vote yet they do not care what happens to us. Did i tell you people were burnt alive inside a church? shocked....we cried as mothers narrated how they watched children burn to death, it all happened in Kenya Dedan, "the pride of Africa". For the past three days Nairobi was a ghost town, why you may ask. Youths invaded major towns in the name of mass action, they looted and others got shot. It was a sad affair.
Dedan i look at your statue and wonder if this is what you and the rest of the freedom fighters fought for? Am afraid that we are loosing Kenya, not to colonialists but a group of people who think Kenya is for the rich and powerful. Dedan am afraid that things will never be the same again, tribalism is at all time high, yet all my friends are from different tribes.
Kimathi, Kenya needs a statesman, someone who cares for Kenya not his interests, someone who will set an example and make Kenya one. Rest in Peace Kimathi as you watch over us.....i await a brighter tomorrow and you will see me smile again as i walk past your statue on Kimathi street. God bless and Save Kenya

My Vote
Fear grips me as i approach my neighbor
Should i say hello or just walk by in fear
He looks at me with eyes filled with hatred
what crime did i commit? why so much anger?
Yet i dare not ask him for am so afraid
isn't he the same man who was my brother
isn't he the same person i laughed with
isn't she the same woman i gossiped with
guess my vote is to blame for my woes
he does not know whom i voted for
yet he hates me with a passion so strong
Neighbor please forgive me for my vote
i don't know whom i was supposed to vote for
lets go back to yesterday and love again
Should i say hello or just walk by in fear

isn't he the same man who was my brother

isn't she the same woman i gossiped with
guess my vote is to blame for my woes
he does not know whom i voted for
yet he hates me with a passion so strong
Neighbor please forgive me for my vote
i don't know whom i was supposed to vote for
lets go back to yesterday and love again

"I want MY KENYA BACK"
I want My Kenya back...Mr. politician
What have you done to us?
why have you divided us?
I Miss my rainbow friends
I miss my Family members
I miss walking Down the Streets
I miss the crowded streets
Yet all i see and hear are cries
Cries of Innocent people
Cries of hungry children
Cries of women
Cries of Slain Men
Cries of a tired people
Ohh how i hate thee for These
For every blood drop
For every tear
God will avenge for us
Kenyans remember "Tribe is Nothing"
We are all brothers & Sisters
All i want is My Kenya Back
My Rainbow Kenya where love
Peace & Unity Prevailed
What have you done to us?
why have you divided us?
I Miss my rainbow friends

For every blood drop
For every tear
