UNGA

Hii shairi niki-i-tunga,

Kwa  port kuna Meli ya unga!

Imetia nanga,na  imechungwa,

Brathee angalau ka-unga.

Round hii hakuna ku-unga

Juu kwa shelf hakuna unga,

Kejani pia wanadai unga!

Imeshakua kama ile unga-

Ya deal za backdoors na dark alleys,

Wanauza hii unga,

Vako ya el-chapo!

Kuna wasee in dark suits na madigaga,

Wameji-pin na ma Uzi na ma Ceska,

Wako mraa na ma big-fish,

Wakiuzia  raiyaa unga!

Kwa silo hakuna grain,

Cartels zime drain,

Na makata za, hakuna rain!

But iko kwa ma-warehouse na wamefunga,

Juu  ndani kuna unga,

Hadi kinenge sasa inadunga!

So bei  ishakua ingine,

Kuna wale wata-omoka

Na wale wata-toboka!

Ukishiba na sembe,

Wengine wanameza wembe,

Kwa shamba wameficha hadi jembe!

Jaribu kuzusha juu ya hii unga,

Hawa ma-dealer watakufunga,

Juu system- hao ndio wali-tunga.

The Sin

Her pushing, while crying,
is a story, in the telling
a beginning, another is coming,
ordained at labor, a divine reckoning

this pain my brother-
-  is the sin of your father,
and that of your mother!

Before this, it was forbidden
everything else was given,
but among us, are creatures heathen,
crawling on their bellies, fallen from heaven!

this pain my brother-
-  is the sin of your father,
and that of your mother!

You shall moil,
You will toil,
to reap from this soil.
the deceiver did not spoil,
it was the deceived, inside the pot of boil!

the earth is hard and sad,
it no longer gives in glad,
there are thorns and thistles to discard,
dawn till dusk – sweat, tears and blood!

this pain my brother-
-  is the sin of your father,
and that of your mother!

On this ground,
they shall lay me underground,
as I was, before anyone was around
sin is soaked here, it was once and profound!

Die and you shall....

Die and you shall see,
what they will do, is
-what they should have done.

Die and you shall hear
what they say - is,
-what they should have said

Tense so intense

Constantly,
Like a Vowel
I am caught between consonants,
constantly.

so the statement tense is intense

it's a simple tense,
just as you see,
that's me
do you not see?
the tense as intense

it is present progressive
so I am telling,
as if speaking,
and writing

the tense as intense

it's a simple past
in my mind, I visited,
the now gone,
where I came from,

the tense is intense

constantly again,
in a past progressive,
when I was playing with words,
constructing these ones,

the tense was intense

I have been writing
constantly-
presently the tense,
is perfect and progressive!
still writing,
still telling

until the tense is intense

the past
could have been perfect and simple
like that tense,
before now I had,
spoken some  of these words

in some tense so intense

so constantly
like a vowel I am caught
between consonants
in some tense so intense

is the future going
to be simple?
I will still be writing and telling
when it comes,
I will have written,
lines of words and code

in a tense so intense

its a conditional simple
that I would not be speaking,
or not telling or writing,
so they will not be listening
or reading
but...
I will have said
the words
I would have spoken,
written or told

so constantly
like a vowel I am caught
between consonants
in some tense so intense
