priscah Mutswenje Poems

In the middle of the African medal map
Sits Kenya, an expansive breathtaking beautiful bright chap
Hooked and booked for life that overflows its tap
With streams, hills, and valleys that perturb
...

It soothes when it sinks deep into us
It soothes when it sinks deep into us
It fools when it holds our words
It steals our breaths
...

It is never enough until we get where we want to be
HUMANLY I believe that is or is it just me?
We may hide and side with spiritual leaders
Not that you fall on the wrong, or that it matters
...

When I realised that you can choose what to do
When I learned that you can be what you want to be
when I noted that it's about you and now them
That is the time I walked without looking back
...

As a young girl all I wanted is teh army work
I did not choose military, navy, defense or whichever
I loved their band at the show and how they walk
...

I am learning to hold onto what I know
and scanning the deep into that I do
To let the masses complain as I move
About and past and by on my own
...

Mebarikiwa Kenya, mrembo wa warembo
Polepole kipenya, uyone yayo mambo
Taona yasomenya, ona ile mitambo
Talii yetu Kenya, pata makuu mambo
...

The cyber is a vibe that saves and steals
Choose the best cites before it kills take drills
Select the worst cites and you channel chills
Into your life and rife into your meals
...

KICD, our ambassador of humanity
Your manifesto de-campaigns inequality
In the rule of law you mother every community
From West to East, North to South; no parity
...

The fruits fell not far from our feet
With technology and trends that fit
Thanks Kenya Railways for the defeat
Of tiresome delirious journeys on roads
...
