Sunset in her eyes

Your pain was so loud
Your hurt, cut so deep
All I could do was cry, cry, cry
When my love, was unheard.

Let me free, let me be
Let me love, let me heal.

Let me have, back my words
Words of love, writ in the dark
Let me have, back my heart
A tender heart, the night was grey.

Lord, give me hope, give me strength
Let me rise, my face to the sun
Heal my wounds, hold my hand
Let me see, the sun rise in another’s eyes.

Let me free, let me be
Let me love, let me heal.

Let me have, back my words
Words of love, writ in the dark
Let me have, back my heart
A tender heart, the night was grey.

Let it dim, the sunset in her eyes
Let it swallow, the twilight of pride
Let me not, turn back my face
For her love, is become a pillar of salt.

Let me free, let me be
Let me love, let me heal.

Let me have, back my words
Words of love, writ in the dark
Let me have, back my heart
A tender heart, the night was grey.

Let it dim, the sunset in her eyes
Let it fade, the beauty of the sunset
Let the stars, twinkle in her stead
Mother Moon, still my love craze.

Ohh…
Let me free, let me be
Let me love, let me heal.

Let me have, back my words
Words of love, writ in the dark
Let me have, back my heart
A tender heart, the night was grey.X3

The Seven Deaths of Mr. Steven Akumu: The Five Death

‘Curiosity killed the pussy.’ This is what they had forgotten to tell Mr. Steven Akumu. ‘Bang!’ The house shook, smoke filled the compound, shots rang out. Azrael was come. But how did we get here? Mr. Steven Akumu, a man of big ambition. He had thrown his hat in the ring, intent to unseat the reigning Member of Parliament for Mashimoni. That is before he shifted his residence and his political base. Now, Mashimoni is a placid place. A placid place, on ordinary days. The people – courteous, friendly, going about their bustles fashionably late, lazily, even. But come election time, the waters are stirred and trouble reigns in paradise. Then, gangs of marauding youths, with machetes – brandished and concealed – are employed to control the electoral outcome. The lingo – ‘to secure the bases’, and on election day, ‘to guard the vote’. Their leaders, they supplement these efforts with a pistol or two. Mr. Steven Akumu began his campaigns innocently enough. He had not gotten the memo

The dates: 27 th November-1 st December 2023. The venue. The Edge Convention Centre, Nairobi, Kenya. Sweet things first.

William Ruto to announce. The funding is to enable them take their innovations to market and build viable businesses out of the same. PIA – The Presidential Innovation Awards, the president is that serious. The Start-up sessions are a serious affair, the titles a mouthful, the colon abused: (Session: Founder Stories: An Exclusive Interview with Leading High Growth Start-ups: Learning, Pivoting and Critical Decisions during and Unprecedented Accelerated Business Growth). Ok, some of the lessons when scaling up: Ask for help; Believe in yourself; Resilience; Change of Mind-set. What’s the share of Bill Gates in Microsoft? We are asked. We throw figures around: 30, 90, 50… the percentages…

Angry Nairobians

Nairobians are angry. Very angry. Perhaps, I should do a song, or some poetry piece, so that I can fully convey this: Nairobians, angry, hungry Nairobians, relatives to poverty Nairobians, has become their enemy – money Nairobians, no longer can access – honey. Nairobians, in their leaders – no hope Nairobians, unwashed – can’t afford soap The government, has lost – goodwill from the people No longer cute – the SG’s and the Governor’s dimples. Nairobi, despondency – hangs in the air Doing business, feels like living in the lion’s lair Taxes, more taxes – women can’t afford pretty hair Angry, hungry, for Nairobians – there is despair. It’s around 11pm. Nyayo House, recently declared a Corruption Free Zone. Hang around in a group outside, and some administration policeman will enquire of your business. I am here on some business. It is full house, majority seeking passports to get a breather outside the country… the National Youth Service have been seconded to assist s
