Gedion Onyango Poems

He was clad with a huge un-proportional stick,
Unlike the one of my village elder
Amid thunderous applause and spouting sweats from his audience,
His nose pointed high in the assessment of our fresh air
...

Now I understand the weapon
To make them love me,
It is not with the ethos of servant hood,
But by the flame of the tongue and noisy statements,
...

I stand before thee today
ashamed and disoriented
I stand before thee today
pitiful of myself,
...

My child listen
take a pen and a paper and sit next to me
for this is the best inheritance I can offer you
...

Oh! Love of my life, you are the sky of hope
The river in our village knows this
And the birds whisper your names as I pass
I wonder how you fly so well, and carry my heart
...

In All
It all comes down to the unseen yet the taunting bare meaningless of life.
Wherein we've defined our fullness by the standards crafted by a bunch of hurt and damaged individuals.
Those who and many who survive under a tyrannical cloud of hopelessness

Oh Lord!
You know how passionate and in-depth sinner I am
You understand how I excite in sin and darkness
You know how they blow me from your love - and how I flow with it
...

I am blind to your abhorring actions my wife

I thought fifty years ago
When we started, you should have been matured by now
...

You were great and wise omuntu

The birds and the trees in my village sang your honor,
I also heard my mother and grandfather of my father loved you.
...

I have two wives
and three concubines
The one in the village is the smartest
But the one in the city is beautiful and romantic
