HOSPITALISED IN CHINA

Dad Kenya is sick, hospitalised in china

Strangely she is walking and strong in her palliative ward

Medically she is on her death bed

Miasma of strange diseases

Everyone is wondering how she is up

I think she is just a strong woman

She doesn’t want to let her children down

Some of who would not care

Those who would wait for her death and celebrate spoils of failure

Before they too die like worms in a host they have killed

Many doctors have given their expert opinion on her state of health

They say that in her current progression she will not last long

She may die in China

Getting her back home will cost her children the last coin

Dad I see her children

Suffering from hunger and biting pain of drought

But if they were taken to the skies

Their tears would drown the earth and their wail would make thunders shy

Dad, Kenya is sick

Her children have writing her eulogy

Chinese papers have started taking tenders for her obituary

Even on credit they would do it

It does not matter, as long as her children will be able to pay some time in the future

Dad

I don’t know if Kenya will survive

MEANING

If you sing songs And your songs are sung Would they have a meaning? If you danced And your dances are danced Would they have a meaning?

Would it have a meaning if you were not remembered?

HEART OUT

You are the one I think of when I am blank When I am happy you are the one I call I think of you when I am sad I pour it all on you And I feel it is all right I call you when I reach a problem's dead end Together we find a way to move to the other side of the wall With you I feel like the lake Galilee When Jesus was calming the storm You are my rain maker You make me feel hope You are the cloud that causes my worst storms When I know that I am the reason you are shedding tears I feel so comfortable beside you I can sing off key But it is all right because I wont be judged I can talk and talk Be sure that I will be heard I can keep the quiet of a grave And not be scared that it will be heard wrong Yes I can be headstrong Then we will fight and make peace I can be fearful when you are scared And we will curdle together I can hope when you have lost hope And you can hope when I have lost mine For that is how we become better You are beautiful to my eyes and ...

OVERSTAYED VISIT

You don't need me So I thank you for the good you have done I say it in silence That way you will not sense the silent good bye It hurts me that our business in your face is done But I will remember we were brothers I will pray for you For my prayer is that you fly high and steady in the strong winds I will not forget that you helped me And the much I am or will be will acknowledge you But tonight I will pack what I can And leave your house brother Not groaning For all of us are guests in each others lives In my case I must have overstayed my visit I hope love never grows old I will find peace when it thrives again But now It is obviously used.
