Mwenyeji Spikes Poems

When ends swell and hope shines,
I know that that am from the precious wells,
It's so easy to tell with the charm hanging on my neck
Diamonds from Sierra Leone make that side shine
...

ABIDING IN FORGIVENESS

Abiding in forgiveness I recall,
This kind of forgiveness,
...

Body & Spirit

Without a body and soul
All that man treasures would I not wish to have
...

Look around and see, from the surface everything looks as it should
What you don't know is that the divide continues to grow
The haves will get some more from those that have not
The general order of this was pre-ordained by the law they made themselves
...

Flowers like Valentine

You always wanted to say it,
Like the epic you only read in novels
...

THE INNER VAULT

I took a vow never to look back
promised myself never to lend an eye
...

TELL ME,

Are you happy in denial of what you used to feel?
Are my secrets still safe with you.
...

8.

NUMB
: Hang on or probably just hang up,
Walk away from all this mess and take your mind further from it.
Interesting how this should all end,
...

9.

SOBER
Sober up oh beautiful staggering soul,
Where is your determination for conquest and resolve for peace?
Have you lost your sight to the blurry vision of undetested malice?
...

Tipping point was the only point
Life on the edge of despair & disillusionment.
The weight heavy on my shoulder,
And even heavier it weighed on my heart
...

What's next from here?
All along I suspected the teachings were wrong
The edge, more or less seemed closer than it actually ought to be
The decorated truths of our journeys now stand questioned
...

By the Roadside
Two roads diverged in a wood
I stood there by the roadside clueless
Seldom I took a glance at the pedestrians that walked afar behind me
...

Be the One
When calamities fall and the clouds all turn grey
If the smiles slowly fades out
Perhaps the going will get tough
...

Viral and Vicious
Tell me what it takes to sanitize this level of savage
Is the level of idiosyncrasy something we can salvage?
We are bombarded with the vines once again
...

Smile Carrie smile!
Remember when mum used to rub your tiny feet?
Bathed you in warm water and served you donuts
Your world was small and the smile never left your face
...

Whom are we kidding after all?
Whatever it is, there is no winning in this game
The union of two into one is strange
More like confusion than fusion
...

To gain the whole world and lose your soul is nothing
You ponder and question what life is
What it all amounts to, is there reprieve after all
To lose yourself only to be found at the feet of His mercies is everything
...

A harsh inclination to compromise
A succession from the truth that borders pain
Sometimes you wonder if you let your heart time enough to heal
Every time you ponder forgiveness it hurts even more
...

Careful little lungs what you inhale
Be wary tender heart what you harbor
From sunset to sunrise you watch and wait
Eager you stand by the door frame looking to the skies
...

Men are peculiar and mystique
In gods eyes they stand free with will
Husbands, fathers, sons and brothers
All made out of the very clay by the pool at Eden
...

The Best Poem Of Mwenyeji Spikes

Born In Africa

When ends swell and hope shines,
I know that that am from the precious wells,
It's so easy to tell with the charm hanging on my neck
Diamonds from Sierra Leone make that side shine

When I stand like Zulu
Know it's a lot that I've been through
Gold mines down waterfalls, above all black oil wells,
It all began here, and here it's going to end.

The motherland that gave birth to civilization
Cultures that hold us together
Both the old and the wise will sit around the fire place
This rich heritage no one will ever snatch from my heart

Raised to know how to respect the elders
give regards to the ancestors, pour libation
With humility extending our hands to give love and receive
Once the sun rises to pick my tools and till the land
walking the Savannah with the heart of a lion
Every morning dawning with new inspiration for the land and its people

Mwenyeji Spikes Quotes

Only when you can see better, that you'll want better.

Wisdom is the ability to tell apart

The truth is relative to where you stand

Forget what you heard, the picture in your head is what matters most.

Miracles don't transpire in a vacuum, they happen within bounds of FAITH.

You are a living beacon; your life is a manifestation of the frequencies you catch and how you interpret them.

otherwise, what proof is there that we even existed?

Whatever your interpretation of life is, that is the right one.

The expanse of your life is limited only by the depth of your thinking

the marvels of life are only as grand as the expanse of your imagination

The things we wished existed, we began to create.
