 Didn't you watch them take the robe Didn't you see them take his shoes You cheered as they took his ram and its kid When they came for his kids,what did you do? Even when they forcibly slept with his wife didn't you see They took his land and livelihood as you watched They killed education and health and you were mum They stole what he had saved all his life  They taxed everything,from water to livestock and you didn't speak When he stood up to fight to kill or to be killed You labelled him unpatriotic,a rebel You hypocrites are worse than murderers 

She was a beautiful lady in her hay days Men of all walks of life drooled for her face All drank from her well and gave little pays Till her body could not take in more abuse With a stripped gown in the ward she laid Frail lonely and bones protruding as shade She fearfully saw her beauty and figure fade At last her life flew and her nice eyes greyed Her light weight became too huge to ferry  Her casket was a boulder of a rock to carry It carried many souls which she would bury And in her well many men had made merry Mourners sat silently following the sermon The pastor bombarded sin like a war cannon Sweating as he did on top of her in Oregon  When her hips smoothly moved in gyration The soldier too remembered that cold night When drunk he staggered and held her sight From her well he fetched with all his might Now he too among others dust he would bite Even the big politician was her customer too In the dark night he'd see and call her my boo He would then give her a thousand...

Son,take care not to pride in worldly things It is Him who gives and Him takes boldly Daughter,do not boast of beautiful endings He can take everything you treated fondly When others struggle don't call them stupid  He who gave you saw it fit to deny them When they do well you at once become livid  When they beg you spit at 'em with phlegm That beauty withers like spring rose flowers The shape too is temporal ask your granny Remember to thank the one who  bestows Even when you are winning the grammy The adorable family you have belongs to him Like a rented thing,the owner can claim it Like a tenant you cant cling to  it or whim For what He Gives, He can take believe it  Son,be humble for humility is priceless Daughter,be grateful for it costs less Shun those who are proud and loud Keep my wise words and read them aloud

In my quest to find you I lost myself  I blindly gave my heart out And denied me myself I  rejoiced seeing you happy While forgetting to make self happy.  When you left i cried and begged But in leaving you were happy. No day passes without thinking of you I hope you too do when making out With that man you claim to love.

The shining African full moon Brings back nostalgic memories Moments we shared as children As we fully enjoyed our innocence In the shining nights we would sit Playing games in halfly lit nights We'd rush to the house, open the pot And refill githeri supply in our pockets Nothing mattered at that point to us Not even the shouting of our mother Nor the danger lurking glaringly as  A thief ready to rob a rich  brother Shirtless,shoeless and senseless We shrieked at the top of voices Cursing,singing,riddling,narrating Till we fell asleep in the open ditches
