Promise
Mum,
I make a promise,
I WILL DELIVER,
With respect to the blessing i was bestowed upon to help my siblings... Who awaits me,
I will deliver AS WAS!
On the rocks, or pinching spikes,
I will deliver,
I will sweat to come home with food and clothing,
Even when my blood freeze in cold,
Or burn because of strain, i must DELIVER,
If i injure my vains on my way,
And drain a trench with my own blood,
I will still survive, to my promise
To the last breathe,i promise
To deliver,
Strong or weak,
Healthy or sick, i will deliver,
I will think till my brain cell dies,
I will work till my hands tear,
I will never fail to deliver,
Even when my head
Goes bald, i stand
To deliver!
Be hopeful of me mum
Things will work out soon
My last breathe will be after all this promise of heavens,
I will deliver mum,
I PROMISE.
Spiritually talking to my mother who is far away, who is dearly praying for my success.... I will never ever let her down........ I promise

Effortless
Young and effortless,
In pain but helpless,
Calling the heartless,
For help, but they are careless,
They believe have brains, but look brainless.
Giving it all a try, in vain
It looks an everlasting pain
Embarrassed but plain
Of truth constantly hidden behind the lying love and faked emotionless attitude,
Always of survival but eventualy to death,
Perhaps, God has a waiting answer,
Because a thin sheet covers a dug grave, yet the child belives to be lying on the hardened earth!!!
*prayers may help, go down child, and pray to sweat blood. ....maybe it should be symbolic to help....
Brotherhood is an english vocabulary,
Ask me why!
No name no help. I have seen

USELESS
yoU call yourself BETTER,
faSt  you DEMAND RESPECT,
othErs HAVE to follow your COMMANDS,
Lest you find your pay,
thE end SHALL DEFINE your pretence
you ASSIST only for GLORY,
your NAME and FAME!
Soonner or later YOU WILL realize,
Very USELESS you are.

Asleap
I am asleap but at least i can think...
Inside this world we have alot of collours,
Bright and dark,
In different denominations,
Those in light colours hate the dark,
They stay together and are of similar thought,
Very different from the dark,
And they hate the dark......
The dark love and respect the light,
Who disrespect the honor and obedience, as of observed by the later.
I mean you don't  understand this.

Just a single read
I need only a single read!
But a thousand share
I just need you to read,
Copying is not allowed
Just a single read and
A thousand share!
"young is age,
Unknown is its wage,
Pain to live the very poor
Then die poorer.
All the hustle, that fail to pay,
Day in and out, life is the last day's
Up similar,
The very dawn in particular,
Always waking up for the hustle,
That has always failed to make a bustle
A day's meal,
Has always been the bill,
Nothing more,
It is sort of a bore"
I just need a single read,
But a thousand share.
Situations  are no longer situations!

As swift as money move out of my pocket,
You will double the speed to come back to me that day they will streem into it unstoppably.
That time is not today but........
I've seen it coming.

only the heavens knows why
under abject poverty ,
  receivership and unproductivity
    retardation and helpless behavior
      rowdy dull and gloomy
          always silent and stressed,
no hope for a better life.
poor and today my feelings are strong to believe!
  that if sickness befall me,
    I will die on my rags of bedding
       since for sure,
           I have nothing to call mine,
              apart from this poverty that has chose to follow me.
whatever the case ,I have accepted my situation!
train of debts ....frustration and depression!
only the heavens knows why!

hate me or like me
I'm not to spare,
hate or like me you won't buy me a living.
burry my head leave my body,I don't care,
as long as there is no body contact.
talk like the KASS radio or *BBC station,I have no worry words won't wound me!
if I were James bond I would be famous without your *mouthing ,
if I were Barrack Obama I would be trending without your lies.
but I am a poet ,less on words but heavily defined in them!!!
shake your buttock over me,and you will find me on it!!!!
shameless stranger you are playing with wounded tiger!
like me or hate me,fame awaits me.
I'll trend more than you wish to light fire of lies on dead grass!
*its just a poem,don't worry
hate me or like me

DEATH SHALL DEFINE THIS
am depressed,
it's like I never dressed ....
something reminds me of a golden opportunity I lost .
just because I couldn't concentrate ,I am lamenting !
this happened because of ignorance ,I am on the paying end,no light beyond the tunnel.
should I go ahead and hope for the impossible ?
should I turn back and loose?
no I should do something ....even the illuminated can't block me now...
agh! my agitation is the disgrace!
when will I get out of this satanic lock?
poverty bonds that can't allow me plan,even to buy a snack,
deep rooted right from my great granny ....was it to end like this!
I will face it anyway ,I want my hands to swell or sweat blood,
I won't give up.
I will die holding my pen,
perhaps it will bring my dream to reality!
it's me,working to defeat this situation already outdoing my brainy shell.
let me see !
I want to see at my coffin.

ONE LAST THING
just in case you saw me.
in bold I was talking
sure were my words ,
from the heart I spoke ....
JUST IN CASE YOU SAW ME!
I loved you,
I cherished you dear,
I did all I could in my poverty level,
I saw you like I knew you.....
sweet love was in me,
I was real ,just if you got the glimpse.
I loved you...
but you chose to leave me.
I'M STILL CRYING
for the love ,that was never ment to be
for the real short time in the real sweet love
for the age I was and the money I lacked .
for the misses and nostalgia
in my heart I just accepted the fate.
BUT JUST IN CASE YOU HEAR
you are beautiful
you are lovely
you are sweet
you have it all.
let me tell you one more time.
I LOVED YOU.

money
Money is insane....
People go insane when they get money for the first time.
This is
What is happening now.
Nov 2018 · 420
Riches
If you are rich,
You speak less yet it is like spelling everything inside an encyclopaedia.

If you are rich,
You talk foolish yet it is taken to be of wisdom that no man can understand without any consultants.

If you are rich,
And you wear rags,
They say you are simple and expensive, man of the people ,worthy of many praises .

If you are rich,
You *** on the road and they say you are sane.

But

If you are poor ,your wisdom is the poo of a monkey ,you talk of something important ,they say it's old cliché that has no meaning .

You are insane even if you *** in the loo.your poo should not be seen because it may be contagious.

Do I mean it?
Rich or poor,you are human ...you should be humane and be with everybody unboastfully .
Because ,
We are all candidates of death.

Rich vs poor

I HEARD
I heard that wisdom is well spelt in simple language .
So when I say happy night to the married,
I spell wisdom.
Don't argue on this,
Pick the meaning and go to bed.
To the referred ,
Read your novels to your point of satisfaction.
Make your spouses know they have you.

memoire
I find no peace ,
Every time I write my piece,
And you fail to read it's purpose.
I am not good I suppose*,
Because if I were,
You shouldn't always be there,
Avoiding my writings.
I know you will not read this,
But you will hear people talk of it.
My purpose ????
You need to know I'm concerned about your behavior .
Otherwise good day .

mum
Dear mum,
I haven't forgot you,
I have been away,
Four years no see,
No talk,
I hope you haven't stopped calling me your son...
How I pray to succeed ,
so I come home with a bread,
How I pray God to protect me
So I come home save .
How I pray to God,
To keep you healthy,
So I meet you strong and bouncy.
Mum ,you son is trying everything possible .
He sleeps hoping,
He wakes up thinking of what next,
He has a lot to say
But in all,he just keeps guiet ...
My days are not well when things are not working out,
I fear coming home without something ,
Mum you know me,
I love you,
I remember what you told me,
"Have this twenty and buy a pen"
It touched me,
We were in abject poverty,
I remember how you suffered my dad's beating,
How he broke your hand,
How you stayed away in my brothers home,
How they kicked you and said you were a liability ,
May God answer my prayer ,
That I may come to console you,
That you may forgive the past
That you may see a new sun
That you may smile,
That mum you may find me not a traitor,
Like I may look today.
Mum,you already fought the hardest fight,
I know you have come along way,
It had been tough
It had been rough
I am about to tell you something ,
We shall go trough them successfully .
Mum,allow me one more chance  to try,
I won't come home dry,
I will bring something for you to fry.
God shall never leave us suffer forever,
There shall be changes ,
Positive ones in our home.
You won't cry more,
Enough .
I am you son
I know your pain
I will paint a different picture of you soon.
I PROMISE.
True emotions, true feelings ,true poem of what happened.

i try but i am dry
I don't fry
I cry
no matter how I try
I remain dry.
I call all and sundry
to come by me,
to help me
for in all I have done,
it has bore no fruits.
I'm on the dying end.
it's my short poem.

sweet dream
I had a dream,
It was very short.
My long died grandfather
Came in my dream ,
He told me
"Grandson,
You will excel".
I am happy for that dream..

big boy's tale
In sort of a tale,
Is a story told,
Not to have passed,
But yet to pass.

I see people running up and down,
Celebrating or sort of,
I see only one crying bitterly,
And that is my mother,
She say,
"My son is lost!"
My sisters are in sort of amusement,
Confused of what to do,
My brothers see me and hope I was not born to fall,
I was their hope I understand...

I feel the urge to confirm to them,
I am not a rash ...
I am not lost....
I am full of force,
It is just that my struggles haven't bore fruits.
My vibrating legs and limbs,
Have stopped my lips from opening,
My hungry stomach ,is not giving me any peace,
My racing brain,
Is closing my eyes,
My ears too,they no longer hear.
I am reduced to pieces.
Perhaps my dream was not valid.

If all never go well,
Please God,heal the scars I leave.
Heal the hearts of my lovely kids
Heal the heart of my dear wife,
Heal the hearts of my children,
Please heal them.
As the stream of thoughts pour endless,
God see my remaining journey .
Let me try one more thing,
To live the way you need.
To be humble,
To be of dignity,
To be of love,
To be of repentance,
To be who you need .

As I approach the grave
God,
Let me be somebody ,
So that ,I may see the change I hear.

For in all I find myself to fish
Rascal and rushing
Fooling and revealing
But in all, I loose.

it's been long
let's see love
let's spell love
let's talk love
let's love one another.

I saw love long time ago.
when I was nothing but I felt something In me.
it was like a motion in my blood.
I used to admire my feelings,
it was so good.

those days I woke up early to see the Sun,
in it's blinding light I saw you.
you could always smile and towards me you could always come.
opening my arms to hug ,you always disappeared and I was left to smile.
I could see the moon  laugh at me
before you mysteriously appear and tell me,
"my love,worry not I'm here for you!"

imagine how I always loved to hug you.
how I would always be near you
how I always bought 'a gift ' for you.
baby;I need you back.

today
I just miss you.
I just need you.
I just smell you.
I just hope you.

if this write has to trend,
let it not if you will not read.
my love.
spell love for me.

Free
What kind of freedom is this?
I am free,indeed free from everything.
I have no coin,so I am free from wealth
I am sad so I am free from happiness!
I am so depressed ...so I am free from freedom.
What is this free now???
I think I need more clarification.

Far
Far
Fear that grips always,
Arrests hope and faith,
Rapidly compared to nothing.

Forever it kills life,
Ailing ,it is a diseace,
Rough and it kills.

Future it kills,
Arrangements it halts,
Right on point ,we should end.

Maybe someday
As i flip the pages
like i did for ages
one day
it will pay
i mean i wil find something new
which i knew
that i will find a million
for my pages will be read by a battalion
my senses will be right
and i will pay whoever will write
i know it will happen
that my readers will have pens
to write what they know
and i will read 'em come snow
far and wide
i will,as i walk and hear my strides
i will always remain devoted to my friends
even if they never trend
i will read 'em always
until they ask themselves how i make it in all the ways
i will read in the rains
even when my shirt stains
i will read in the sun
even when my head burn
i will read read and read
until i forget to see my breeds
my people will wonder why
but i will hold my answer to buy.
maybe it will happen someday!
Please correct my poem where you can.

I am ready to marry
I know i am ready
Because my beautiful one is born already
I have grown hair
I saw my dad  had when he sat on his  chair
My beutiful one has the *****
Which i saw my mum had when she bent to remove the *koobs
I have a goat
Which looks like my fathers coat
I will pay it as my dowry
Though my fathers' was jewelry
It has grown long ,my stick
Though i saw my fathers'was thick
I am ready
My beautiful one,after that day told me she felt it heady
I think i am ready to marry
My beautiful one is mary.

Missing in action
I'm here to appologise
For in the battle field i went missing
Was not killed but injured.
I bled so terribly
I was helpless and useless
I picked my pen to write bit it had no ink
I filled in my blood  but my brain failed
I could not think!
I could not translate my mothers' language.
It was really hard.
In fact i decided to just talk to the spirit,
To give you hope and patience
That you may wait until i come
I hope you got the ego to see me again
To hear from me again
:::::::::
My language is new
I hope you got somebody to translate
Do not worry why my writings are in red,
I have decided to write using my blood.
No access to a shop
No friend to borrow from
The clossest animal here is a tsetse fly
Chewing my skin for blood
My bedding, the leaves,got rained on
And today i will transnight!
My food the black berries,
Are rotting in these heavy rains,
I doubt if in my cave there will be peace tonight,
Snakes are just peeping and i have alot of fears
If anybody can translate this to you,
Please come for my help,
Because my life is in danger!
Writing to speak what is in my heart.

this time can't go,
for if it goes am done,

I need pay a diss,
I need bury this **** of obstinate
matter. ..
I need be freed from the law of
fragility,
and force my way the far,I could
go?!?!
but if my far was this,
then my children collect my angers
fragments 20 years down the line.

the difference shall remain the

Gambler
he spent in an aim,
in a risk to loose,
in favor of the game,
so gullible to preempt.
..................................
a die hard in hope,
beyond the scale
loves the game,
in power he lives,
a life too risky to touch.
.........................................
playing all his tricks
meet another gambler,
whose stupidity is beyond repair,
but in dismay,
he still looses money.
...........................................
all he does is to learn,
to accept the outcome as always,
hope tomorrow will change him,
and chance,give unending luck,
that shall always grow big,
day after day!

To God
I write this special letter,
To address my sincere regrets,
To the most high,
I have sinned,
God forgive me for my sins,
My thoughts,action or eyes
Must have made me to sin,
My ears too,
God please,set me free,
My grand parents or great grandparents,
May have linked me to sin,
Please God,
Hear my plea,
Set me free.
I don't know if my lineage was clean,
The blood in my vains and arteries may be *****,
Clean them Oh God,
May your grace be upon my life,
May your love shower my family oh Lord,
May your sufficient stores of blessing open for me.
I won't cry much ,
You know me than I do,
Guide me,
Protect me,
Cover me,
Bless me with good gifts,
That I may use them to serve you,
God,hear my plea.

Yours loving child,Cheruiyot.
I pray.

Poverty
Seated behind a low hotel
I am sweaming in debts,
I have nothing to call mine,
Strains and streams of stress,
Is what ran in my brain,
I have a dream though,
One day,
This day will be part of my history!

Pain
I feel the pain,
right deep in my heart,
I can't explain,
because it hurt,
of all,I never complain,
all the mess lie under my hat.
my brain fights in vain,
all I think is plain,
night speaks of dark,
day may lay for rest.
twist and tweets remain to be shared.

I saw
I saw myself when I was so young,
I hated not to grow rich,
But a move of work hard came to me,
I felt strong and powerful,
I changed my vision
I put effort in all I did,
I finally changed my situation ,
I found my home ,
Coz I used to know I had none .
But
Somewhere I somehow forgot to make a good choice,
It stagnated me,
But I am now going free ,
Soon
I'm gonna sing all the praises to God.
I see myself different .
Wealthy and full of responsibility!

Love
I wrote a poem  

I wrote a poem about myself,
It was tasty,
And
I knew love is all I need.
Not money,
Not material,
I sought money and I lost love
Material took my love,
I defined It,
That love can be and is above all.

Because of love
Because of love,
....................
Living poet's.
.....................
great time to just wish you a lovely note ;
as you go to bed.
I've heard,and it seems true: the silence of a friend is
worth more than the rebuke of an enemy!
so to say,I just have a lovely wish for you,
that is ,
"go to bed,and sleep wonderful,
dream a promise worth for your success ,
turn to see all the goodies God placed next to you
tonight .
that you wake strong and powerful in spirit .
that hope and enthusiasm fill your tomorrow more
than ever.
your dream contain all you will call for as you awake
in the morning.
to say,you will have a powerful motion of self
drivenness, that will head directly to your destiny.
I say ,and I repeat as may times as you would wish to
hear,
your night will be a different one!"
I have but just a great wish of a blessed night for
you,my best friends.
good night.

to myself
you avoid me now,
tomorrow you need me,
you keep silent now,
tomorrow you wish to have a talk with me,
I am silent now ,
tomorrow I will talk .
but forget this not,
I am as happy as you may not think .
behind my struggling legs,
is a force of success approaching as fast.
so,blame me not.
laughter will meet us at the dining tables,
yet regrets will cut it short!
remorse will choose to take charge....
and I will shift to a bigger table ,
where no meal shall go a single phase ....
I don't plead for company ,
because I bleed from the rough coarse .
yes I am right,
and all I have said is correct.
