For sure, I saw the rain !

This water from the heavens that pounds the ground

It scents the earth and chills world

When this water falls

It muddles up with loam

and grips unto the boot   

Don’t dare it on foot

It sticks when the when the skin sucks

It makes the clouds of the day black

Dawn or dusk we can’t tell

But the day lopes

It clothes glass with mist

This cold thing is beautiful only while you spectate

It is memorable when you kiss while it drops

This; the expression of furry of God in the Noah’s days

Like a deer panteth for water so deserterians panteth for it

This water that falls from the heavens, I saw with own eyes.

THE OYSTER HAS NO PEARL

I have searched every where

I have dwelt in the dark just to catch my lottery

Leaned on invisibles to catch my imagination

Clasped on my energy to have products

Drenched my mind in dissatisfaction

So I can search for what my eyes won’t hold

My leaders have nothing else but a deaf ear

But worse still are the lead

They won’t let me utter

They are silent in psycho-torment

Because they will not let free their passion

They have depleted all my remedies

So they say the African child is dim-witted

I follow my master of the past decades

The whip is inevitable

Hunger sustains my body

Until I yield loss

From the efforts that I cast.

Where I live

My folks enjoy it
They dance to the tune of the melodious drums
Like they own an added slice of life
They vigorously dance
Like they had spare waists
Deforestation is no offense
Like they fear not drought
It is a remedy to inferiority
You never die of shame all your life
My brothers say
Its cowards who cry,
I have not convinced my sensory nerves
That I am no coward
It is the pain that makes a man
In the place where I hail
At the foot of the great mountain
Whose peak is Wagagai.
There, men sprout out of pain!
