Kinyua Karanja Poems

Sins entraps you to hell
Righteousness and fear of God
Inspires you to live well
Escaping the harsh punitive rod
...

Sudden fall from grace
Into calamitous life race
This is what we call disasters
As you die with ruined character
...

I have devoted my life to strict ways,
In rigorous and tireless search for purity
Trying to keep divine commands all days
But constantly frustrated by life reality.
...

Contemporary and secular world to be specific
Has lost moral and ethical base at large,
What used to be a serious mortal sin
Turned to be a mare personal preference,
...

Could we play with tongues of fire
And avoid that flying dry saliva
No, may be just a magical desire
To change ordinary stones to silva
...

You need to take life more seriously
And focus on your goals and target
If you have nowhere to go in mind
any road takes you there, don't forget
...

It's time we move, scale and soar high
Like beautiful flamingos of lake nakuru
Defy ethnic politics and publicly decry
Hatred and violence as we support Uhuru
...

Loving is not a walk in the park
Neither is it a bed of roses
Like flaring sparks in the dark
Each move is more of fire bases
...

I shall fear not to love
Nor regret to have loved
For God made her a dove
Free to fly and at will to land
...
