Kinyua Karanja Poems

I was truly a convict
Declared guilty of sin by verdict
Of the most highest just juror
I was a life time wrongdoer
...

Hey! You! Young man, look
Show some respect to your colleagues,
They too need the service,
Don’t just come and overtake the queues,
...

For me I will do the best
Even if it means to fast,
Christ's love to be my quest,
To refrain from vengeance test
...

I was in shackles of loneliness,
Bounds by bars of solitude,
Tethered around solitude and loneliness,
Doomed by low esteem and attitude.
...

I messed with the wrong guy
And from that I learnt my lesson,
I got knowledge I couldn’t buy.
We quarreled and my anger turned on
...

I think everybody would admit
Though not in public nor to anyone
Of few secrets things we commit
These things varies to each one
...

Let no melancholia rob your joy
For life a thing to play a toy
Aging do lure like decoy
Resist remorse as aging a deity fiat
...

Having wandered in the wildness for years
The Lord has now seen my desperate tears
By supplications and pleas I touched His ears
He has now eliminated my anxiety and Fears
...

A true story I overheard
From one of local song band
Of an infamous ex foreman
A man of a corrupt reputation
...

A reckless and rude humorous anecdote
Injected in serious conversation or debate
With an only goal of stimulating a laughter
Always turn sour, inducing guilt thereafter
...
