KA ACHAN DOES NOT MEAN NI ARAN!

I was born a man

Always in quest to learn

And not to rob by gun

Ka achan does not mean ni aran

If I were an athlete I could run to earn

If president I could go for the third term

And even if jachan I could learn to farm

Ka achan does not mean ni aran

Humility was the advice from my mum

When you grow up please buy me a ram,

Mine is to wait for the opportune time to come

Ka achan does not mean ni aran

Remember Obama with yes we can

A phrase which made us unite as one

And made him the most powerful man

Ka achan does not mean ni aran

Education is all I want

For it can move everything apart

And even pay ones rent

Ka achan does not mean ni aran

After death the physic will rot

However your deeds will not

As broken pieces of a clay pot

Ka achan does not mean ni aran

Be a peace lover like Koffi Anan

Or triumphant as Mohamed Aman

Even hardworking as janam

Ka achan does not mean ni aran

THE HEROINE IN HER

From Kajiado County hails a lady of passion,

A lady whose life she has learnt to live with cushion,

One of her kinds in the go – getter mission,

And an intellect in the journalism profession

Lucy Mutungi is her original name,

To be the best communicator is her main aim,

Rising bit by bit to the list of fame,

And to be at the highest journalism helm

A chat with her conglomerates ethical journalism,

From amateur reporting to real professionalism,

Inculcating ethics, etiquette to mannerism,

With a golden heart that has no void for racism.

Nurturing young talents at any cost she will incur,

A good initiative that most of you will concur,

Day after day her good works always recur,

Leaving a rich history which her successors will refer

THE DREAMS OF MY FATHER

My dad had a dream,

A dream to be a good father,

And a fantastic grandfather,

But for me I have a task,

A task to make my dad’s dream come true

My dad had a dream,

A dream to be a successful teacher,

With a daughter-in-law who is a teacher,

But for me I have a task,

A task to make my dad’s dream come true.

My dad had a dream,

A dream to have educated children,

In conjunction to respectful grand children,

But for me I have a task,

A task to make my dad’s dream come true

My dad had a dream,

A dream to own a bungalow,

And to have a child pursuing law,

But for me I have a task,

A task to make my dad’s dream come true

My dad had a dream,

A dream to own a large heard of cattle,

And various households including kettle,

But for me I have a task,

A task to make my dad’s dream come true

My dad had a dream,

A dream to own a large piece of land,

And to practice agriculture on the piece of land,

But for me I have a task,

A task to make my dad’s dream come true

My dad had a dream,

To educate his children up to the university,

And pursue courses of great diversity

But for me I have a task,

A task to make my dad’s dream come true

My dad did not have a dream,

A dream to give birth to a journalist,

A journalist and a good communicationist,

But this is a task I am entitled to do,

Journalism and poetry are what I was born to do.

PRIDE OF A KENYAN

Kenya oh Kenya,

The land of my grandfather,

The great land of my father,

And it’s the very land of my mother.

Kenya oh Kenya,

The mighty land of diversity,

With inhabitants full of generosity,

But with leaders full of curiosity.

Kenya oh Kenya,

The motherland of the American president,

And the Oscars award winner what a coincident,

The truth is that they are both proud residents.

Kenya oh Kenya,

The attraction of tourists,

With streets crowded by motorists,

The domicile to award winning journalists.

 Kenya oh Kenya,

The market to flavoured soft drink, fanta,

Not forgetting the controversial pastor,

And the ever blood thirsty bounty hunter.

Kenya oh Kenya,

The heart beat of Africa,

Perfect destination of goods from America,

And traders from everywhere including Antartica.

Kenya oh Kenya,

The country of unmatchable democracy,

Within every institution the talk is beurocracy,

 But our leaders are driving us to aristocracy.

Delicious African Ugali

Kuon is ugali among the luos,

The replica is ngima among the kambas,

While Obusuma is famous among the luhyas,

kuon, ngima, obusuma, delicious corn extracts.

Poshomill is the right place,

To carry out the crushing phase,

With smiles all over your face,

kuon, ngima, obusuma, delicious corn extracts.

Wuon Ombugu used to call it wuoyi buru,

Being that he was an eating guru,

Especially when eating it with delicious aluru,

kuon, ngima, obusuma, delicious corn extracts.

Obuchunju is a good witness,

Of how obusuma can enhance your fitness,

And even boost ones fatness,

kuon, ngima, obusuma, delicious corn extracts.

In the Dark Stands a Man

From East to West the night was very dark,

And in the dark stood a motionless mark,

The neighbor’s dog hesitated not to bark,

For in the dark stood a foreign mark

Oh no he is an inexperienced night runner,

The youngest son of village the charcoal burner,

For he know not the how and the manner,

Don’t ask me why for I can't even mummer.

In the dark stood a man fully naked,

A perfect indication of how they are waked,

Despite this to some they are more than loved,

But not to me for I abhors this act.

To and fro they run and run,

Stealthily and quietly for they believe in yes we can,

With no celebrations of a race greatly won,

And this is why they are troublesome men.

  

That man in the dark is a member of the society,

The movement of the dogs does not affect his anxiety,

For they claim knowledge of the topography is a necessity,

And that man in the dark is confirming the reality.

That man in the dark is not yet a father,

Neither does he know the love of a mother,

For twenty years they haven't seen one another,

But that man in the dark is more than a bother.

FROM STARS TO STRESS!

Years have come and gone,

Day by day children are born,

With no serious trophy being won,

From Harambee stars to Harambee stress!

In the stadiums danger larks,

With players from Kariobangi Sharks,

Now tell me what the stars lacks,

From Harambee stars to Harambee stress!

Okumbi has tried his best,

To get the players to their best,

And provide results perceived to be the best,

From Harambee stars to Harambee stress!

In Guinea Bissau they saw dust,

Even though the event is already past,

But in our minds it will always last,

From Harambee stars to Harambee stress! 

Though it pains but thanks to sportpesa,

Who after the match made me visit m-pesa,

And even dreamt of recharging my visa,

From Harambee stars to Harambee stress!

'Team change' is now helpless,

With nights to him now becoming sleepless,

And being in public now becoming needless,

From Harambee stars to Harambee stress!

I miss Harambee stars with Mahamud Abbas,

Guys who could transverse the continent by bus,

And the outcome will always be good results,

From Harambee stars to Harambee stress!

Kenyans now believe the stars will proceed nowhere,

Even after recruiting players from everywhere,

Their underperformance to me is like malware,

From Harambee stars to Harambee stress!
