Beautiful Zombies
In two shakes of a dog’s tail
The weather changes, so they say
With raindrops that are rubied
Rolling from bunch of zombies
Staggering down in the street
Possessing all that they meet
Conspiracies all sprung up
As a norm we all adopt.
Decent ones in the city
Soon became filthy dirty
Devils and trolls we hired
Became woods in our fire
The blacks and whites not like us
We destroy with sticks and rods
When the infants starts to creep
We shoot them right from our hips
Yet with our scary wild eyes
We still hunt the tranquil ice
And not until we change our views
The zombies are all but good.

Politics: The egg on my face
I am a victim of multiple rapes
By youths and spring chickens hoarding grapes
They drill me deep in the streets for long lengths
Way before I got to age of consent
Now I am used to the egg on my face
Hence I never do run when I am chased
They shag my matrix and bruised my knees
Reopening the sores that tried to heal;
I am a victim of multiple rapes
By the dirty piggies that call my name
Don’t go to the zoo in search of them
Don’t go to the bush in search of them
Don’t go looking for flat snouts, small eyes
And large ears, within us they all reside
Appearing often on televisions
Looking at the world, without a vision.

Politics: The city hall
The rate of fresh blood is overwhelming
With enthusiasms always rising
While the toddlers grow to have wisdom teeth
The city hall in power never fleets.
It is not just the strange bedfellows
Neither the dirt part that always follow
But it is the impunity they have
Siphoning our resources while they serve.
Youthfulness is there to always savour
Although we have numbers in our favor
We just can never fight the city hall
Because they plant discord between us.

Politics: Seeking leadership
In these dark days,
When hell is winning
Cuckoos in the nests
Are so unruly,
We need good leaders
To transform the stage
And leopard’s spots
That never does change.

Running from foreigners and our politicians.
In the eyes of the world, we are so weak
Residing in a home where the roof leaks
Quenching taste with droplets from the ceilings
Instead of walking straight down to the stream.
In the eyes of the world, we are stupid
To dwell in the Nations of growth impedes
Whose flowers may never come into bloom
Residing in this very crooked home.
In the eyes of the world, they have it all
To unlock and walk through front and back doors
Making us turn to green around the gills
By mischiefs of experimental pills…
In the eyes of the world, we should break up
But we decided to stay away from storm in teacups
That has subdued us into cats caught tongues
And made us dead in the souls we belong.

Politics: Copycatting wrongly
Bad is never good until worst happens
We giraffe the leaders of the free world
Whose envisages were made to happen
By choosing humanity over swords.
We have failed to make our system rock
Yet, when we hear of a new discovery
We emulate it but it never works
It seems bad is where we derive glory.
The strength of our weakness lingers long
Abusing privileges on the table
Defining quintessence as being wrong
Bailing evil and misusing gavels.

Politics: Let’s face the fact
The origin of inhumanity
And its verified etymology
Is a distraction and contradiction
To the essence of true democracy….
…Hey!!! Enough of those jaw breaking grammars.
Just like the case, of an ugly monkey
And as a mother always love her kids,
I am so compelled to love my Nation
Yet she keeps splashing raw eggs on my face
Saying; “you can’t do more than died rats”.
Each time she does that, a rebel is born
Bad is never good till the worst happens
Of course, Rome wasn’t built in a day, but
The envisaged came from the same kitchen
That shortchanged silver spoons without a spoon.
Fear the men of oaths than those holding guns
They are the sheep outside, but wolves within
Playing, “the more you look, the less you see”
It seems that politics is never clean
More growth, the deeper the sink in the sea.
Ask no questions of egg and the chicken
When both bold and shy crates are empty
And plates have never been graced by proteins;
Politicians meant to serve the people
And not for their self enriching pockets.

The politicians
There is a deep dark hole
That swallows shrinking souls
This dark hole is manmade
And the arts never fades.
Wish truth could be embroiled
And service be recoiled
So promises could come true
For the sky to stay blue.
But dead are the chariots
And Angels before us.
The champagne births an ace
Even with a smooth face
But long legs always win
And many are turned in
Enjoying pool of blood
Slitting throats with sharp swords
Sharing sweats, drinking tea
Blind indeed is justice.

Team humanity
We are on a field playing as a team called humanity.
Each one of us makes up the chain linking our communities.
Though the field is vain, the dust always change down generations.
But the progress we make thus far is not a pride to mention.
We seem not to flow, our teamwork is low, we have never grown.
Yet each of us point fingers as if we are all alone.
As the day dawns and the sun set we fall deeper in the hole.
If we fix our mind we will break limits and double our goals.
The greed in us makes us keep our lanterns from oil,
In total darkness we pollute our soil and make life to boil…
If only we knew the heights we shall climb with selflessness
Perhaps we would embrace kindness and endless goodness.
To get this new norm we should apply love with full empathy
Raising the standards redefining breathe and humanity
Creating chances that ignites the mind from limitations…
For we are all one and the same, and not a competition.

The troll
My point of view is always strange
Like I leave in mountains or caves
I hate baked bread with flour of lies,
Deceitful yeast doubling the size.
My point of view is always strange
Like I leave in mountains or caves
And even when I mean no harm
Spilling the milk is who I am.
My point of view is always strange
Like I leave in mountains or caves
With no reservations or shame
I speak like the truth calls my name.
My point of view is always strange
Like I leave in mountains or caves
At times I wish I could be remade
But I keep painting spade as spade.
My point of view is always strange
Like I leave in mountains or caves
Throw stones at me, call me a troll
Through me the truth, will always roll.
