Dear Mr.White..
Today I put aside my fears
As am penning down my plight
Tired of holding back our hot tears
And eyes set of this useless fight.
We’ve been silent for hundred years
Yes, we admit that you’re much strong
But…
Don’t you feel guilty after you kill?
Don’t you think that you doing wrong
Or you take it a no big deal..,
How dare you!
Comfort your knee over my neck?
Can’t you see that I canno breath
Please free me,just for God’s sake
And lemmi search for my daily bread

Dear White Man..
The ‘blacks’ wanna be offended
Better spare me and walk away
Than choking me & leaving me dead
Yes i’ll decay, and leave you to stay

I owe you not even a penny
Yet you just deny me of my breath
As am pressed so hard under ur knee
With ur strength beyond my reach
Let’s put aside our difference in race
For the Negro’s always innocent
Let’s come together and embrace
And spend together the weekend

Rest In Power Negro (George Floyd)

PLEASE STAY!
By Kadima Emmanuel
(Sahihi ya Mfalme)

Oh no Mr. Merveille,
take the drive slow down the aisle,
for poetry treats the minds that are ill,
a gift not even found on the hills,
paying the attention of heavy life bills,
and not off a section it peels,
I still know how deep it feels,
Please wait! Poetry is mind pills!

Dan,
Take a break my little brother,
for in poetry you became my father,
when I shifted from penning Swahili kiustadh,
Take a break and recall,
the biblical history of Paul,
not even a tree knows when to be tall,
making the tallest size of a pole,
and how struggled would running water be,
for in a stone it would still bore a hole,
Please wait! There’s a little more soul!

Dan,
There’s a little more soul,
that waits for your strengthening poems,
There’s a little more soul,
that hopes for you as a role model,
There’s a little more soul,
breathing in utterance your name,
taking down a moment of restore,
Oh little brother remember;
there’s a little light,
in it you fear to be midnight,
for still there’s the brightest light,
That comes from the dark room,
Please wait! To be that bright light!

Dan,
Take a breath, breath patience,
make a mind, this isn’t a business,
Quiting is for the weak,
the war isn’t yet at the peak,
Even the weakest bird fights with its beak,
and the strongest enemy makes a weep,
Wake up, there’s one more week,
This is my stanza I write from deep,
Please wait, your poetry pen hasn’t leaked!

**I Quit Poetry**
Watch me as I come  to clarify
I carry up my hands, before I submit
Today am here again, to tell you why
the games’ tough for me, and I admit
How it’s been costing sleepless nights
holding tight my thirsty pen to write
Shedding tears, the papers drowning wet
But finally, I have to admit
that the daily meal’s no more sweet
Therefore this poetry, I Quit

Who understand how it feels like
When fellows call you “insane pet”
until you lose your entire psyché
while drowning in ur own sweat

Am sure, I’ll surprise you sister Poison
but i don’t care, I’m quitting the mission
I’m tired of hiding in the dark dungeon
on rusty roofs that no one holds on
Therefore I Quit, I totally abandon
It’s going tough for me, I can’t handle

Driver Kadima, pls lemmi alight
and vanish far away, no more plight!

I used to write in the mid of night
whenever the moon shed down the light
Thru the roof, to where I used to sit
  Who doesn’t know?
that excess light damages the sight?
Yes, i know i can’t be that perfect

But i’ll hand the pen to sister Cynthia.
         But till when shall I wait?
        With that insomnia.
and that depression till midnight?
       Yet nobody near..
Yet Just thinking of the next poem,
and no one to hold me tight
And no one else to blame
It’s enough, And today I Quit.!

I Salut you bro- *The King Of Spades*
Having worked together for decades
Today I take a pose, the heart decides
In my ever busy spirit that duty embeds
Allow me go back, to our ancient beds
coz am fed up, with daily migraine
Thinking wisely, but going insane
I promise to try,  make it shine again
Though I thrive in agony and pain
I put down my useless ink-less pen

And today I  Quit
Am no longer a poet..!!

𝐃𝐞𝐚𝐫 𝐁𝐚𝐛𝐞..
It was fine blossoms since we started
We watered together our flower bed
My heart used to beat before we parted
Until the minute you fell down dead
The demise that gave me a robust blow
*Can you remember?*
How we walked a distance in absence of     light?
How our tongues clicked loud in the      middle of night?
Until dawn when horizons were orange   on sight?
When we talked about our futures   glowing bright?
*D’you remember?*
Abt our trip of glory to the sun?
And tour the beautiful moon at least   once?
*You Recall?*
By the riverside our feet deep in the sand?
And swam with the fish when we got a chance?
*I hope you remember with reliance*
Of our plan to visit the Paris in France?
The golden city that flourish in romance,
*D’you still remember under that pine? *
You promised in all situations to be mine
Then night after night came the moon,
And a cold stream ran through my heart
I never imagined you’d depart so soon

Behind that smile you kept the secret,
I wish I knew it was ur last moment
Now am drowning in my own tears
As I trode down your silent grave
At hands a bouquet of flowers
By the way,
Under that heap of soil don’t you starve?
I’ll sing the painful dirges for Him above,
But I’ve got a million questions for you:
Is Mr.Death a whitet man or black?
Why didn’t you call me to come and save?
After all were you not strong enough to fight back?
Did he come from air or the dark cave?
Will you just remain with that silence?
Or should I come back later when it’s dark?

The Last Kiss.
Sadness, was that paining moment
When my eyes saw you depart
Away and away ‘forever’ you went
Leaving a dent in my lonely heart
Handcuffed,
I still recall that last peck
that came so quick,  without a word
But wet eyes, overwhelmed with tears
I realized the full meaning of ‘sad’
waiting in our room; silent and dark
I should admit am a little bit coward
But I hope you’ll soon be back.
Lemmi pray that you won’t take long
Before you wipe dry my wet eyes,
I’ll lie myself on ur chest, where I belong
And again my eyes shall glow in sparks✨
As we sing our favorite love song

That’s if you’ll come back,
But I fear the fate’s unknown

HEY YOU SINGLE GIRL.
So you promised yourself not to love?
O’ you went through a kind of pain;
Are you just going to waste that curve?
O’ u’ll finally come back to senses again?
Don’t you think sometimes you starve?
O’ you just such a kind of  ‘insane’ ?
So what kind of guy d’you deserve?
Why d’you just stand alone like a plain,
Whom D’you think you are?
You see us and then flee away
And never see the boys face to face
You chose the road that’s gone astray
We can’t act like cocks to chase
Or d’you think you’ll buy a child,
When you behave that mad en wild?
Will you ever dare to find,
Someone of your desired kind?
Don’t you think you’ll take too long,
Before ur heart thinks you’ve met,
And later get someone who’s wrong,
Will you walk away or just commit..?
Have you not heard about the song,,
That single people are never complete?
Am talking t’you, single girl
For how long will you cry…
By yourself by the lonely riverside
Sometimes you too have to try
and expose it that burns you inside.
So lonely heart, where d’you belong?
For how long shall you hide…
And still try to remain strong..?

Hello, my life, I’ve a serious conflict between distance and my desire to love you. The problem ain’t your presence in my dreams, but your absence in my reality.
Sometimes I’d use the stars to write something on the sky so that when you look up, you could read..,:
That when I sit on this stone,
Under the scorching mighty sun
By myself, and I begin to moarn
For nothing more I could have done
In a mere twinkle you made a turn:
A rainbow to a black plain thing
A monotone to an opera sing
A rainy cloud to a sunny day
Bright colors and something gray
A beginning to an ending
A broken heart and then something mending

The hand,
The wicked hand of man,
That receiveth the granted talent
Has now trespassed,under the sun
And never posed a minute, to relent
The evil hand of man’s under the curse
And forsaken even the chance to repent
And ask God to forgive us

The hand’s supposed to offer compassion
Now’s throwing bobs and punches away
And gone astray of the intended mission
And even raises the swords⚔ to slay
Shedding blood of the innocent nation
Leaving the desolate, with nothing to say

The hands we raised on sundays to worship,
Is now stealing from the naivé church
And pointing the index finger to gossip
Forgetting the blessings we came to search

The hands when calling for help we raise
Grabs eventhe poor survivors in wreckages,
Discriminates others basing on their race
And later clap so hard in church to praise

And this hand, the long hand
That raises the bible so high, taking oath
Accepts ‘kitu kidogo’ from the evil one
It’s full of dust and lust
with no remaining space to receive
Any more blessings from High Above

The hand that held the pen to jolt down my dreams
Is now holding a rubber, threatening to erase it

Hey there, I just passed to say hello🙋🏼‍♂
It’s been a decade now, hope u’re fine
But..,
How do I forget you, my former hero?
Not when you can’t even send a sign
To show me that you really still there.
How I wish we could meet tomorrow
so I could tell you how much I really care
I could arrange every word to explain📜
and a little cry to wash away the sorrow😢
I could tell you how hell my heart’s in pain💔
Though I know leaving me wasn’t intended
It was just a warning so I won’t do it again.
When I flashback our earlier promises,🤔
I sadly recall all those fooling lies
You promised.,
to fly with me so high
and take me to skies of the coast
Then what I heard was a “goodbye”
Only when I needed you the most!
How do I tell you?
that only ur smile teared me to pieces
That I miss those good old days,
when you sent sparkles into my heart
and melted all that I had to say.
I still recall tearfully..,
That time you walked away a mile
and I couldn’t hold dry my eyes
then you turned, looked back a while
and thanked for my promises and ‘lies’
that ‘our souls shall operate together’
and all pains and gains we shall share
That is how we broke the word ‘forever’💔
and the time came, when you couldn’t care
I pondered and looked back
at least go tell you the last ‘goodbye’
but I couldn’t, my tongue was stuck
I wanted to hold you, and ask you why?
but such were kind of words I lack.
Sad tears had soaked and blinded my eyes
and vicinity before me turned a total dark.
I stood there a whole day to gaze,
until an angel came to tap my shoulder
and told me to rest on the stone
so I could try my best to recover the mark
but not, I just can’t do it alone
I murmur, and promise to remain strong One day you’ll forget I did you wrong
and maybe you’ll come and love me back
that’s how my life sorrows would’ve gone
That long awaited day, my heart will spark
and sing an endless romantic love song.
Yours once-loving Ex,
_Dàn_Merveillé✍🏽📜_

Before loving..,
we never spent the sleepless nights
and we were just living..,
before loving,
we used to trode on paths of light.
But when we gave it a try,
and found some delight in our heart
though some may cry,
they still never stay apart
gone are the days,
when the essence we used to feel
when someone says,
‘I love you’ it’s no longer real.
the days are really gone
and there’s always someone for you
now that we’re grown
and the era is extremely new
