Act Of Abdication
At the height of
the blossoming
Of this love
You bring in
The body blows
of the career lows
Of our romance
Ungrateful you are
After all I have
done for you
After all you
have done for me
After all the pain
that life has
inflicted on us
After the mountains
Of hardships
we have had to climb
You throw it all
away for the

(Naughty Poems) A Challenge You Cannot Hide Away From
Little darling
Again he is gone to sow
Mayhem among the soccer
Loving fraternity and they
Are sick of his twaddle debates
And I whom you desire
For yourself I am issuing this
Challenge you cannot run away from
I am all alone tonight
I need to encircle you and crowd
You in the square jungle of the thunderous
Entry of my passion and you can
Run from my hugs but you cannot hide
Forever from my wild all out love
And I am left to my devices and
This is a dare you are asked
And tempted to grab as soon
As your beautiful heart starts
To rage with the pangs of love
You cannot hide behind the trees

Listen to the wind
Listen to the tranquil sonatas of the
Low blowing breeze and you'll think here
Is Mozart descended from Heaven to
Bring merriment to your happy heart
Listen to the wind as the mighty
Wind rocks the young of spirit
The wind will rock you and live you
Panting for more
Hear the sound of the great blowing wind
The wind is strong
The wind plays the majestic symphonies
To keep you spellbound and you will
Be enchanted by the spirit of the
The great cacophony of the myriads of
The the sheer ferocity of the souring
Lyrics of the almighty conquering wind
And you'll wish you too was blessed
To be born earlier and know how Beethoven
Came to compose the great symphonies
For he too must have been enchanted by

Elegy For Brenda Fasie
There will be another special
Friday when the true lovers of music
Will gather world wide to honor
Your legendary memory
There will be another Weekend
Special but no imitation will
Equal the fabulous majesty
Of the original classic
Those who hoarded your fortunes
Will be brought to justice
They're watched and they kow it
Goodbye pride of our country
There was never a dull moment
In your eventful unforgettable life
Goodbye our beautiful rose
Goodbye queen of our music
They refuse to build your statue
The will not induct you
In the hall of fame the deafening
Silence of officialdom means

The Soothing Caress Of The Serpent's Flattering Tongue
At one time or another
The politician himself was a snake
A big boulder of a boomerang rock
Fell on the man snake
He was staring death in the face
The pious tender man saved him
But true to form there and then
The ungrateful politician went all
Out to prostitute himself before
The world and the other crosstitudes
And before the world the pious man
He threatened to backbite and betray
And back stab all this was true to
The form of the slick darkie politician
Before you back stab me and backbite me
And betray me let's consult the consult
That spin doctor known as the jackal
The out maneuvered pious man said
Jackal is like Ban Ki Moon and Kofi
Annan rolled into one-they're notorious

Blues for baby Mamsie. abandoned to die in a dustbin
Johnny Fanteni is sitting
With a nice headache the size
Of mount Klimanjaro
Johnny Fanteni's problem
Is as long as the chain on
The neck of his dog Malunga
There's no food on the table
And the band of the acapella
Rats who play boogie woogie in
The night to scare the boogie
Man away and to keep Johnnie F. awake so
That he doesn't cause the scandal
Of falling asleep at work
Has dined on the skull of his
Beloved child Mamsie
It chills his marrow and he quivers
From his head down to his liver
And he weeps for his baby Mamsie
Abandoned in the cold to die in a dustbin
But Johnnie Fanteni's childhood

Here Comes The Feared Night
Who fears the uncircumcised night
Who walks alone afraid in the dread
Hour of the mourning tune of the night
Who hears the terrible widowed
Sounds of the horrible dip dip deep
In the fright drenched labored breathing
Of the labyrinth of the fearsome night
Why are the bloody sounds of the
Night so serene.So perverse
So bloody silent in the night
Here comes the feared night into
The night where the harbingers of the
Hounds of hell on the earth are loosened
Mayhem reigns in our sacred universe
It seems as if all the devils
Have left hell to sow discord
In the hellish cauldron of the earth
Here comes the universal loathed night
Who gave the night it's blood
Soaked red appareled metal jacket

Justice wakes up!
'We should put out fire while it is still small'
-Kalenjin proverb, Kenya
Behold Mulundu
The hyena cannot smell it's stench
Justice finally wakes up and she's
Wearing the ill fitting affair
Of those mismatched miner's boots
And her pink tail sucks now just
Like it sucked back in the years of
Her long fossil dinosaur slumber
All along she's been snoring
Hard like an elephant in a coma
But here she rises from her deep
Sleep and she moves on slow unsteady
Hoofs like the intriguing Mokele Mbembe
And hold your breath Mulundu my brother
Hold a true friend with both hands 'cause

Alliteration of the sea sick sea snake
Using the softly-softly
Hissing style of the silent
Internet fanged smiling serpent
A sea sick snake hisses
Himself to his serpent lover's
House in the sea hotel of the sea
And where sea sick snakes meet
Sea deep sinful lies are told
And the hungry haggard looking
Sea snake has starved himself
To look lean and hungry and angry
And famished and in banishment
'My love'he hisses in her ear
'I must leave the leaky deep
Foamy shaky shark infested sea
Don't worry lovey-dovey and weep
And scream and hiss...I am going
To the mines and the kitchens
And the mansions to work for you'
The sea sick snake says with

(Naughty Poems) The Man In The Street
I am screaming
At the man in the street
I am warning him that there
Are others out there who have
The money who can deceive you
To make you worse than you are or
Make you the princess who gladdens
Our long suffering eyesights
I am hammering sense into the hard
Of hearing brother in the streets
I am reasoning with him
To take more care of your interests
And the welfare of the kids
I am warning him to spend less
Hours in the brothels and sacrifice
More and more quality time with
Their mother and the children he
Has pleasurably and with the law
On his side... duly sired
