Listen my dear daughter, to my first song of caution Earmarked for you my wonderful sire, come and listen, That tall old man with white hair all over his head Standing over there is not good; he is gnomish in the mind Be careful with him, he is not human in the heart But a mermaid of Yoruba poetry, just like Thespis of Greece Even the pecuniary psychopomp of Sweden gave him an accolade His heart is selfishly full of avarice; he wants everything for himself, Don’t recite him any of your poetry, lest he spells an abyss Against your juvenile poetic talent, he will fool you with a gift; A white sheep or a scarlet goat for your birth day anniversary Please don’t take it or anything else from him, as nothing from him is genuine But only machinations of evil spell aimed at mahyeming your talent Finally to decimate your girlhood and life, this is my caution For you dear little African girl. Listen my dear little daughter, to my second song of caution That short man in a Muslim gear loafing yonder, is suspect The Muslim beret on his head is merely a smokescreen to aghastly behaviour He is in no way an avatar of god of love and humane piety He is a terrorist working with Boko Haram and Algaeda He is an Alshabab that is bombing young girls in Mombasa and Nairobi All over Kenya he has killed the young people; his long egret-white sari is not for holiness, It is merely a nefarious sanctum of grenades, other tools of work in terrorism trade His loudly prayers, body movements and pocket bursting monies are only a stunt To have you kidnapped into death conduit, once you goof to join his courts, His sanctimony is a total picaresque film, (s)heroes of terror the centerpiece And thus, this is my caution for you dear little African girl. Listen my dear daughter, to my third song of caution Those tourists thronging our streets are deadly *** pets, they also skulk **** Their handsome outlook is not a stamp to any good conscientiousness They derive pleasure from poverty and *** tourism; they yearn to see a girl in poverty, Often rarely will they help an African girl, out of milieu of beggarly squalorism, Instead they go straight for the purse between your thighs, Regardless of the legacy they leave out of this lewdness, they are showy, They regret not in their Byronic broadcast of *** and fatherless urchins in the poor streets Foundation for their further poverty tourism, this is my caution for you dear little African girl.

A man must be knowledgeable, says God For him to come in the presence of God, He who has his male members dismembered Or his testicles crushed whatsoever, He shall not be permitted to enter in to the synagogue, To worship Jehovah God of Israel, says the deutronomical god of Jews And today I am ill fated, my testicles are crushed, By the grenade thrown by a terrorist, Here in Nairobi, an Islamic terrorist Has crushed my testicles, in his guest For the land of Palestine usurped by Israelis, How do I worship you God of Israel?

MY TESTICLES ARE CRUSHED
Alexander K  Opicho (Eldoret, Kenya;[email protected]) let me begin my salutation to you by expressing my angst  about your ghastly night experience that you go through when in the hands of the policemen who often walk around in the name of security patrols while in truth they bettle terror in the show of evil mighty they swop you down and arrest you spreadeagled asking for bribes substantially the money of your proceeds from the ware of your trade your body the temple of christian God, Wherever  your lack money your beauty saves you as they go on to  **** you  in circles among themselves as they glorify the power of your bossom in their policeman's slang, where beauty , tyranny of bossom and your bribe is absent you are forlornly arrested from the streets of Nairobi and Lagos or Johannesburg then rounded down to a dingy police cell to be charged with  heinous crimes of prostitution and vagrancy, when the true origin of your fortune's tomfoolery is powers that be as they glorify anti woman crude cultures beseeching a girl child into despair and depravement, they are these men who refused to  see you as a beacon of glory they always link you to the filthy bedrooms from which you ennoble not.

Ode to African *** workers
They began without notice, in the city of Mombasa By the Al shabab shooting baby Osinya in the head, Killed the mother, leaving a slug stuck in Osinya’s head Killing and mauling many others macabrously, Killing for no other reason, but tribe and faith, Their victims confess different religion and ethnicity. They had initially lynched the West Gate Mall In Nairobi, killing the aged and seasoned darling Of African poetry and true fountain of peace The dearest Kofi Awonor, in full watch of his son, Confirming a trail of the ghastly curse of fate and death That totted him arduously from his home in the west Of the tropical gulag that makes the land of Africa From where the terror maestro ; Boko haram reign scot free Mayheming, Killing, ****** and kidnapping harmless virgins Killing For no other reason but tribe and faith, Their victims confess different religion and ethnicity. They have now killed fifty peasants in Mpeketon town, ****** them in circles to puncture their virginity and brutally kidnapping those that are not ***** Using the AK 47 and the Ak 74 to shoot and **** Without reason nor course but failure of mind Botched down by authenticity of holy diversity Heavenly packaged in God’s idea of tribe, Uhm! An African man with a gun is a brute of brutes, Giving an African a gun is simple mess of the world In to helter-skelter poise tilting peace higgledy-piggledy, Killing one another like animals premised by Charles Darwin As overtly seen in the warring Congo and CAR, Where Africans **** one another in a stupid dint, To ape Rwanda or no! To outshine the Jewish Massacre In the Ammonium chambers of fuehrer Adolf ****** This stupid Africans baser than wild beasts, Who told you that your greatness will come from killing your neighbours; the fellow peasants? These African men are the modern homoguerrillus, Which one call cheap war making man They and **** ! **** **** **** **** **** **** For no other reason but faith and tribe, Their victims confess different religion and ethnicity. Gunshots of the gunmen in Africa are not A song of the caged bird, no whatsoever, They are cowardly maneuvers of the weak As the weak and cowards rarely forgive, They arm themselves to the teeth With deadly weapons from Russia or wherever Only to shoot and **** the old and malnourished Peasant women, killing the likes of baby Osinya Shooting a suckling baby to prove your heroism, These African men are really a Whiteman’s burden, They **** their fellows from cockcrow to chick roost For no other reason but tribe and faith, Their victims confess different religion and ethnicity.

They are silent and beautiful, gorgeous in in the white halo, cemented in a beautiful terrazzo, baring the names of fallen soldiers, the European soldiers that fell in Wars; second and first and the heinous silent wars, i hope this is why they have a proverb; white sepulchre, only baring the white dead, only chiefs but no dead Indian. Common wealth graveyards are all over in Africa, in India , panama , Latin America and europe, the active fronts in which the allies fought ****** they are beautifully placed in silently posh areas, in langata when in Nairobi, in Mbaraki when in Mombasa, in Matisi when in Kenya, In Namusungui when in Lodwar, They bear horizontal silence with white names engraved on their beautiful face shouting the glory of European empires, which provoked the evil sense in the heart of the king's horseman in Kenya, in the city of Nairobi, to steal the graveyard lands, he made them his urban home with an uppish courtyard, for him the dead white neighbours are better than in-corruption. I walk around the commonwealth graveyards, in the all quarters of erstwhile British empire, looking for the names of African soldiers , who died in thousands fighting for the queen the royal bloodied woman of England;Elizabeth, Looking for the sons of Ethiopia who stood with the second duce Benito son of Mussolini, fighting for Hitler,for Shintos in the European war, i have seen no name of any African, I have not seen Wandabwa wa masibo, who was conscripted into the first world war, Along with his father Biket wa Khayongo, Biket back after seven years in 1918, carrying Wandabwa's Belt, Wandabwa died in the field, Where was he buried, he is nowhere Not anywhere among the soldiers in cemeteries, I have not seen Nasong'o wa Khayongo, who was conscripted in 1940, to fight against ****** he was conscripted on his nuptial evening, even before he had had the first *** with his new wife, he went away crying, he never came back, his name is nowhere in the graves the commonwealth graves that bare names of the fallen, Fallen soldiers, but they all bare white names in the black world. you come to Africa, Kenya, Nigeria, Malagasy,Egypt, whatever the geographies of Africa, and you keep keen, you hear someone is called Mr. Keya, or Madam Keya, or you come to Bungoma county of Kenya, you meet a man that is of the circumcision age group, Known as Bakikwameti Keya, Bakinyikewi Musolini, Keya is subverted sound for Kings african rivals; KAR the African sound for KAR is Keya, in reference to mass conscription of Africans into the KAR, to fight ****** A child born during that time is Keya, A man circumcised during the time is in the age group of Keya, A simple lesson in regard to our people, taken away to fight the colonial power and left to died and rot away in the bush with a simple courtesy for ceremonial burial, that come along with the death of soldiers, who passed away in the battle field.

Tax man! The tax man is coming, He is in company of the city Askari Armed with clubs and sten-guns In the militant spirit of field combat Reconnoitering to the point of rampage In full readiness to attack and wound The street hawker in Nairobi city, The dominant city tax payer is under siege He has no option; is either tax or death tax man! Tax man!  Don’t **** a hawker.

TAX PAYER
‘The rebels always find each other,’ the old men used to say, scowling at us and our feral-haired friends in the slums of Nairobi. Tell my people I love them. The rebels do not know who they are but they know who they are not; they know they are breathing bad air, they know something is not quite right here. The rebels always find each other, communicating on some soul-dimension of revolutionary called to understand, called to speak, called to live and live well the cause of peace. Let them be alone if they must. They will empty their pockets for the freedom of the world and feel themselves the winners of some crazy cosmic sweepstakes-- tell my people I love them. The rebels always find each other far from home, far from other. They find each other and remind each other: to tell despair to **** off, to reach for light, to stay up all night seeking, because the rebels will find each other and be found-- tell my people I love them by Teej Mali

The Rebels by Masikani Crocodile
Mount Kenya University; our school Has really scaled the heights Climbed the mountains of education In and outside the country. However, we as students have to sweat it out To climb personal mountains of education. That’s why am not happy From Monday to Friday My precious time and fare Gets wasted So that I can attend lectures. Here I am A digitalized engineering student Who has designed a robot For taking me up there above the clouds To punish they who brought All this book-struggling to us. The robot is climbing up The steep steps of the atmosphere. In heaven I am now Holding a cane. I dispenses three hot strokes of the cane On Eve’s buttocks Then advances towards her husband. But Michael the Arch-angel Kicks me back to my seat At Uniafric house Where am listening to a lecturer Who is possibly lecturing for eternity He does not seem to understand That my dry throat needs some unlocking That my lover Is waiting for me. Have a look at Nairobi city! Lit like a bush Full of countless glow worms. Look at the beautiful Gleaming lights of Tribeka club! At the cheap hotels Located at Odeon Cinema Am forced to take lunch Of chips which cost thirty bob They say it’s usually prepared Using some poisonous electricity transformer oil. My pockets are really too small for the likes of Java. But my fellow mountain climbers Let’s fold the sleeves of our shirts To hold onto the mountain’s tricky walls for guidance To climb all the way to the top. And of course We will have plenty to enjoy In the snow capped peak of the mountain Armed with huge jackets For preventing the destructive advances Of the then present world. ©2013 Vetelo Ngila The writer is a Journalism student at Mount Kenya University, Nairobi campus, Kenya.

Zebra-striped cushion covers on soft-white chairs, cream topped calorie delights, inviting - this patisserie in Nairobi: "you're welcome" the smartly outfitted African girl spoke in flawlessly accented English as I pore over the menu - a posh girl dressed in haute denim and a sleeved top walks in and spoke French in pouted lips as she found her corner spot, reading; an Asian couple walk in, wife in hijab and baby in tow, as the man sneers at me and answers 'assalamu alaikum' on phone as I ponder on identity when the French matron in Yoga tops walks in saying namaste to me, and calls out for Henry - her outfitted and bespectacled pomeranian oh don't we all want to be someone else

Why? and the candies that you gave me only a few *** please don't tell me you dnt have a clue Fine do you remember that selfie the one i shared with a tag 'my future wifie' smiles i will sure marry you and the happines for our destiny; heavens have a clue Do you remember when the sun went down and that day we had to crown the way we held hands and waists in town they were jealous; you didn't see them frawn Do you remember the Nairobi rains with those poor drains we got wet in love we did like in the movies; laughs... do you stil remember that day i got mad you leaving early made me sad heh we parted without a bye and for another day i had to standby to make up and make out to talk sweet and refrain shouts to let you know that i love you with no doubts that point that you leave my world itl be all ouch!

Thank you, thank you from the depth of my heart, Thank you my lovely family from   Mombasa,Nairobi and Daressalaam, Thank you for adding colour to my miserable grey year. Thank you for welcoming me to your home, For being there for me when I needed you most. Thank you for taking me on the trip, For walking beside me, For holding my hands when I needed support, It's the little things that you do that mean so much to me. Thank you for putting up with me, Thank you for sharing your food with me, The delicious acharis, yummy jugu paak, mouth watering gorpapdi, exquisite puris, sakarperas and variety of biscuits, Not to forget everybody 's favourite "popcorn", And showering me with lovely gifts, Thank you too, for celebrating my birthday with that awesome black forest cake. Most of all thank you for listening to me, And encouraging me in my low moments. If I ever think of a good family, You guys are always first on the list, So many thoughtful things you did for me, But, one thing is for sure I owe a lot to you. I also want you to know how much I love and appreciate you. Thanks is just a small word, But, for me it has a deep meaning and thousands emotions. 7/1/2020

Dear future friend, lover, husband, At this particular moment in my life, I am laying straight on my back on a hard flat mattress. I am hearing the sounds of cars struggling to leave a parking lot with tired wheels and manly voices. My heart is free for the first time since the last time it was broken, and I pray. I pray to our God that the next time is the last time. Dear future friend, lover, husband, I want you in that order. I want to know you and laugh with you and feel like I am safe with you. I want to pray, dance, and dear God I hope I get to sing with you. I hope I get to eat a full bowl of ice cream in front of you. I hope you stay around for what that does to me, and if you stay through that mess then you deserve this chest, these hands, and my feet. Because with this chest I will ache for you. With these hands I will reach for you. With these feet I will walk towards you. I have had too much hope and too little life to give up. I’m sitting in Nairobi, wondering where you are. Wondering if you are. Dear future friend, lover, husband, I grew up thinking I needed you. I grew up believing only one love was true. I grew up believing you’d come and find me like a sleeping beauty I would be awakened when I met you. But I can’t wait for you. I’ve trekked across the globe and seen the band of the earth. I left trails of myself in every place I was like bread crumbs hoping you’d follow the delicious path to me. So take your time picking up the pieces that will lead you to me. I don’t want to wait for you and I sure hope you’re not waiting for me. Dear future friend, lover, husband, I hope you understand that I love you already. I have only a notion that you exist. My words stutter and stumble around trying to find a way to you. Do not wait for me, but join me on this hard flat mattress, and make this night less of a nightmare and more of a future.

Please Johnny
I fell in love with a girl from Nairobi. She was from a political family, timid with the heart of a coyote. You couldn't hide the intelligence in her smile because she smirked and stroked her bottom lip, like her joy was on trial. she thought she was always being watched and that prevented her from experiencing real joy. even though i tried with all I am, i could never maker her fully enjoy life, because hers was never really her own to live. i fell in love with a girl from Nairobi, she already employed the greatness i could not give. T.S.
