With pomp and style we are entering a new era
We have pimped our vehicles
We have painted the vehicles- attractive
We have sewn the campaign regalia

Cover your cleavage my nieces
For the fruits are not ripe for harvest
The world has changed-they get aroused at sight
The pedophiles eyes water with lust.

He walked along her garden to pick the roses
The thorns pricked his hands but he did not give up
He walked by her river bank to draw some water
The banks had burst-ed but he feared not to be washed away His love for her was like the bush fire
...

I boarded the flight
Uncertain of my destination
Uncertain of my safety
The zeal for what lay ahead proved important than me
...

Two decades of bliss they had
The honey jar was sweet not to be spared
She was young and naive but the honey was irresistible
Before God and man they stood
...

The gathering by the road side began
The congregants had not expected
That they would be served or serve the honey brew
For it had been a long day full of chores for them
...

The women guild members sat to celebrate life achievement
It was awesome for the beautiful women
They counted themselves lucky to be alive courtesy of God
They discussed their life milestones
...

Daughter like wine you have grown to be my fine girl
You have grown wings to enable you patch on the tallest branch
You are now a woman; daughter remember?
Under my wings you no longer hide
...

I want to make my home great again
I will build a perimeter wall
And beef it up with an electric fence
And the razor wire
...

The day finally came
she sat at a strategic point
He too sat strategically
their eyes met and locked
...

I am taking the baby steps
i have the zeal
i have a dream
i have the energy

The week comes to an end
It gives reasons to look back and smile at you
It gives reasons to look back and smile to the world
It gives you reasons to look back and probably regret

At the age of 30 his dreams were falling in place
A daddy's title he was enthroned
He lived not to be called uncle in life
that fateful night
...

He gazed blankly
not sure of his own sight
the track was already in the vicinity
a thousand miles journey had began
...

Their eyes were glued to each other
The two love birds enjoyed each others company
The food was not as tasty as the companionship
The eyes of love were passionate
...

I long for the old days
Where we belonged to the society and the society belonged to all
I long for the old days where we smiled from the heart not from our teeth
I long for the days where communal activities brought us together as a society-no one felt alienated in a crowd
...

He wakes me up with a message of prayer
He wakes me up with a message of hope
He wakes me up with a message of love
He wakes me up with a message of devotion to work

Under the papaya tree they sat
They relived and replayed their childhood days They were hardly ten years old when they sat there This time not to enjoy the cashew nuts but to launch a vision A vision of walking their families unity To make a better world for their children
A vision for the nation
To make a better world for you and me
...

Today i take the vow to love you
To behold you
And to cherish you
When i look straight into your eyes
...

We are not physically chained
But freedom we have not
Oh dearest freedom why are you elusive?
For how long do we remain in the shadows of invisible chains?
