Ogolla Enock Poems

Hearts faint when the storm rages,
Hopes sublimes when the veil of sense
hangs dark between God and men.
...

There comes a time when the conviction
held in a family demands the strength
and zeal of a younger mind.
...

With love and friendship,
We have weaved our web of time
And made together our best encounter.
But when our parting time comes, I pray
...

Despite age, position, and experience,
No one has a monopoly on wisdom
Or the solution to all human problems.
To act omniscient and all-capable is either
...

We all have crosses we can't but must bear.
But God does not make mistakes,
He does not put burdens on shoulders
too weak to bear them nor give crosses
...

After many days of battle,
Someday along life's journey,
we'll pause for a while
and take a rest underground.
...

An apple does not survive a blow
One small bruise and it's dead. So is life.
Precious but delicate, that's what we are.
...

The heart faints when the storms of life rage,
Joy sublimes like snow when the window
of sense is closed between God and men.
But misery has a silver lining after the pain
...

The best among men do not drop from heaven.
Nor do they rise from a particular place or race.
Some are born and bred in palaces surrounded by privileges
while others; born in remote villages, schooled in hardships
...

This world was passed down to us
and will continue on, with or without us.
By ourselves, we cannot carry its weight
on our shoulders and move an inch.
...
