In sweet and gentle melodies,
The songs of love we sing with ease.
With heartstrings strummed by Cupid's bow,
Our love for one another flows.
...

Peter and Sarah, his co-wife,
Their story was one of strife,
For they had to share one man,
And each day was like a battle plan.
...

Wanjiku's salon, a place of chatter
Gossip flows, it doesn't matter
Whispers, giggles, and sneaky glances
The salon's patrons take their chances
...

Akoth had a marriage that was broken,
Her heart felt as if it had been choked in,
A love she thought would last forever,
Ended up leaving her with pain that felt like a fever.
...

Maureen had two suitors, both equally fine,
But her heart was divided, causing her to pine.
Tom was kind and funny, with a smile so bright,
While Jack was adventurous, always up for a fight.

There once was a goat in a flock
Who dreamed of wandering about the block
One day he slipped away
And wandered without delay
...

Akoth met Kelvin at a bar,
He smiled and flashed his guitar.
She was captured by his charm,
Soon they were arm in arm.
...

Akoth and Kelvin, what a pair
They seemed so happy, but then, despair
A break-up came, they went their own way
But Akoth missed him every single day
...

Akoth was out on a stroll,
When Kelvin made his proposal bold.
Her heart filled with joy and love,
She accepted, like a gift from above.
...

Akoth and Kelvin, two hearts entwine
A love so strong, a bond divine
They pledged their lives, they said 'I do'
A promise made, forever true
...

Akoth's due date is drawing near,
In two short years, a daughter dear,
A precious bundle, a gift from above,
Born of the purest form of love.
...

Shantel was a little girl,
With a heart as pure as a pearl,
She joined Baraka pre primary school,
And proved that she was nobody's fool.
...

There once was a girl named Shantel
Whose school success was truly swell
She studied hard every day
And always tried in every way
...

Akoth's Daughter Shantel is a star,
Her brilliance shines both near and far,
With hard work, she scored high marks,
The future now shines bright like sparks.
...

In Kenya's land, there's a mother and daughter pair,
Akoth and Shantel- a match so rare,
Like mother like daughter, they say,
And indeed, they slay!
...

Expatriates came from far and wide,
To colonize the state of Ajira with pride.
They built their homes and settled in,
Claiming the land as if it was their own kin.
...

Akoth's daughter Shantel, now in her teens,
Is navigating through life's tricky scenes.
Adolescence a time of growth and change,
A period of life that can be quite strange.
...

In Ajira where the people dwell,
There's a story that I'll now tell,
Of race snobbery and oppression,
That's caused them so much aggression.
...

Inferno at Marikiti market
Was a sight both dark and tragic
Flames licked up the open stalls
People ran, they screamed and bawled
...

Akoth's daughter Shantel,
Excels in secondary without a single dentel.
She's now off to join university,
Where she'll study with fervor and avidity.
