When I was growing up my parents and literally everyone told me that drugs were evil, disgusting and a death wish. Those who were seen or even suspected to be using were abandoned like a leper by the community. Drugs looked like a huge sin: an unforgivable one to say. I am grown now and … Continue reading ADDICTED

Tinder
Yow. It’s been a minute my G’s. How are you? Last I was here we were deep into Sauti Sol and BnB and Bambam things. I mean, quite a long time innit? Yaani, so much has happened. Second lockdown here at home, BBI is seemingly dead, another year is down without getting laid, jokes- not … Continue reading Tinder
MOM
I dreamt you were gone! I was in school just having a snack at the student centre then I received a call from dad. “Hello son, you need to come to Nairobi Hospital right now! Your mom…” My phone just fell of my hands and all I heard was a ringing sound in my ears. … Continue reading MOM
OH, ROCKING CHAIR
Oh rocking chair! Oh rocking chair! I love my grandpa’s rocking chair, so I pull it and have a seat. On my right hand I’m holding a vicious knife. I decided to use the last cents I had to get it. This rocking chair is very special to me. It’s very dear to me. It’s … Continue reading OH, ROCKING CHAIR

Procrastination
A mess we found ourselves in, Not by default but by want, We talk rather than walk the talk, We blame rather than take the blame, We fake when we can't, We cower when we fail, How then will we escape, The jaws of this dark evil? I ask how and all I hear is … Continue reading Procrastination
Whirlwind
It came. A whirlwind too strong. First, I couldn’t bear it. But I, the eternal idiot Saw it only fit To continue with the stint That broke my heart. I’d never really learned, My emotions, the burned. And now I only loathe. Yes, I do. The impossible, finally true. This time I see, What I … Continue reading Whirlwind
The Leveler
Funny though it was, That he owned tens of bungalows, And a myriad of material possessions, But when the leveler came calling, This factors did not come into play. He always got what he wanted, Through covert and overt means and had corrupted many, The leveler though was true and honest to duty, He executed … Continue reading The Leveler
Inequity
On that midnight hour, when only the nocturnal roamed, The compromise was finalized, In a masked face the messenger delivered the last batch, In a black briefcase, The contents served one purpose, To FRAGRANCE the STINKIEST of crimes, ‘MURDER!’ The weary looking judge adorned in ‘justice’ regalia, Took the judgment seat looking worn-out –probably-, Probably … Continue reading Inequity
To Desire
Are we lost to desire? Are we wrong to yearn? Are we hard-pressed to want? It is hard, indeed, to say. Feeling a deep urge, you know how profoundly ridiculous it is. You’d hate to subject yourself to the rigours of a game you’re all too familiar with. You’re plagued by a sickening notion of … Continue reading To Desire
