Kelvin Gathiru Poems

A place which is free of every noise,
And can't be expressed by a phrase,
A place that resembles the paradise,
A place underneath those blue skies,
...

I am writing this to my daughter,
I don't want her to be a gangster,
All I want is her life to be better,
These are instructions that matter,
...

Deep the oceans and down the valley,
Across the mountains and in the alley,
Am looking for a lady to treat me fairly,
One who is beautiful without jewellery,
...

She is a real African princess,
With all such beauty in excess,
Consider her as a real empress,
Who brings lots of joy not stress,
...

Why do we always say falling in love?
We keep doing it and we don't move,
Is it because love is down and not above?
Every day we're failing, we don't improve,
...

Even though we appear pale and feeble,
We will emerge from the dust and rubble,
Learn to be self-sufficient and sustainable,
Enjoy as we turn down the tides of trouble,
...

Been through lots of places,
Seen alot of smiles on faces,
Interacted with people in dances,
But no one has healed my bruises,
...

Our destinies maybe intertwined,
But our own paths are not aligned,
You are corrupt but am determined,
To find justice for the black-skinned,
...

It's through lot of pain and hardwork,
Using lathe machine to do metalwork,
Struggles in doing all the piece work,
The individual work and group work,
...

This is not a song it is a poem,
It is also not a rap by Eminem,
It is a reckoning of our time,
It's end lines have a rhyme,
...
