    My Dear

    If I do not say I love you often,
    It’s not that I do not anymore;
    But rather I am just trying new ways,
    To prove it to you.

    If I do not hold you
    As I held others,
    It’s not that anything has changed,
    I jus want you to show me
    How I should hold you.

    If I should stop kissing
    Like I used to;
    It’s not that the feeling’s gone,
    I jus want your lips to teach mine
    How else you want me to kiss.

    If I should make you cry,
    As I might inadvertently do;
    It’s not that I revel in your tears,
    But rather through your tears
    Do I know that you still care.

    If you should find me
    Staring at another,
    It’s not that I long to stray,
    But rather I am thanking the One above,
    That I got the best of them all.

    If you should catch me
    Aloof and deep in thought,
    It’s not that I do not care to listen,
    But rather sometimes I still can’t believe
    That I have you to myself.

    If I should say no,
    Every once in a while,
    It’s not that someone else does it better,
    But in a world defined by sex,
    I jus want ours to be different.

    If you should wake up
    And find me gone
    Without a word of goodbye,
    It’s not that I did not enjoy last night,
    But rather sometimes, my heart speaks best,
    In the absence of your love.

    If I should leave you
    And break your heart,
    It’s not that someone else has my heart,
    No; that is your alone, but rather
    Know that I loved you enough,
    To let you go.

    If my time should come
    That I should die and leave you all alone,
    I hope that deep down you’ll know
    That it will always only be you
    That I will love.

    -To all the ladies out there trying to understand their guys –

    I Can’t Be Bothered

    I know that i should call or maybe text
    Or go and see her how she is doing
    But i can’t be bothered
    I got what i wanted and she’s not important to me anymore
    let her call if she misses me or wants to see me

    I know that i should kiss her
    Caress her, try and put her in the mood
    But i can’t be bothered
    I only want to get mine and when i do I’ll just stop
    Without caring whether she is satisfied or not

    I know that i should tell her
    That girlfriend is in the house with me
    But i can’t be bothered
    Let her come and be humiliated
    It serves her right, who told her to get attached.

    Make it Easy

    I think the green light is on for the red light special
    My name is Nyagitu civic educator
    Of the newly formed body…
    Am a student newly employed
    And new to this please make it easy
    And they babble on and on
    About the document that am struggling to fully understand
    Randomly picking issues
    That are said to be contentious
    Leaving aside those that have a connotation
    Or maybe they just don’t think it matters

    Article 43… economic and social rights
    Clause 1, every person has the right to the highest attainable standard of health
    Which includes the rights to health care services including reproductive health

    What do they mean including reproductive health
    Isn’t health just health, mental physical or otherwise
    They lose me when put it that way…
    I agree there seem to be some political emotions on the high
    Some negative political emotion
    But civic education first

    Article 21 clause four, the state shall enact and implement legislation to fulfill it’s international obligations in respect of human rights and fundamental freedoms

    Sounds fair enough,
    I muse to myself trying to see
    Whether or not there might be a booby-trap for me
    And for others like me,
    Who are really busy , too busy to try and understand the document
    And might be missing out on the historic constitutional moment

    And though this seem to be the ramblings of an ignorant Kenyan
    Truth is I might just vote yes, not because of the
    Principles and structure of the national executive,
    Or the increased representative number of women,
    Or the seemingly great bill of rights
    Or even the right without reasonable restrictions to be registered as a voter
    But because it is too much hassle to try and argue, comprehend or even make him understand her questions

    He might vote no, not because of the
    Abortion clause or the Kadhi’s court
    But because he heard a politician say women will have equal rights at the time of the marriage during the marriage and he surely can’t imagine ever separating with his wife
    What will he’s ego say???

    My name is Nyagitu, civic educator
    Of the newly formed body…
    Am a student, newly employed
    And new to this please make it easy

    The green light is on for the red light special

    I can only imagine how hard it will be for them to civic educate
    Those who haven’t read the draft constitution
    Please make it easy

    You Are Not Welcome Here

    Mr. Business Man
    Mr. CEO of a group of companies
    Mr. I need money for a ‘business’ deal
    Mr. I can sell you something but you have to pay me first

    Well you had a good run but your luck has run out
    Your scams have been uncovered
    And your lies won’t work anymore
    Not here anyway
    Move on and try your luck somewhere else
    You are not welcome here

    Blow My Vuvuzela

    We got to the motel room
    I said, “Ke nako” its time
    She said, no, its that time
    I said, no problem then
    Just blow my vuvu

    ========= ========= ========= ========= =========

    She blew my vuvu
    Five times, as I
    Screamed on the bed
    The bed of roses
    Each with a thorn

    Then it was my turn
    But, not for her
    It was not Ke Nako
    It was that time
    So what to do?

    I scratched my head
    The one above, not the
    Vuvu head with a hole
    Or is it a mole
    Now blown to bits

    Then a lightbulb
    Lit in the same
    Head, the one above
    And I told her, gently
    Can you blow vuvu
    Once more =======

    And my vuvu was
    Blown, prrrrrrrrrr
    And I went, arrrrrr
    And I kept saying
    Ke Nako! Ke Nako!

    Wishful Thinking

    I hate it when you are sad
    I hate when life gets you down
    I hate it when things don’t work out for you

    I wish there was a way I could make things better at such times
    I wish that could be with you all the time so that I could protect you
    I wish that I had the power to bends things to your will

    I wish there was someplace I could take you
    Where you would always be happy
    Where things would always go your way

    That is how much I love you

    Torn

    I am torn, I am confused
    By my attraction to someone of my own gender
    If I act on it how will the world view me?
    Will my family accept it?
    Will they still love me?
    How do I even go about it?
    Maybe I should just let it go
    And give the nice woman
    Who has been after me a chance
    And who knows maybe a ‘normal’ life
    Is what’s in the cards for me
    Or maybe not

    By My Side

    I have been through a lot
    And I am here today
    Because I remained strong
    And managed to overcome
    But to be honest
    I would never have made this far
    If you had not been by my side God
