YOU ARE A CHAMPION

Have you ever felt so alone?

So alone yet in a crowd?

A crowd of spectators and ill wishers?

Wishers that wished you disaster and failure?

Failure and disaster around you,

Around you… but not in you,

As they wish and wag their tongues,

Have faith and boost it with confidence,

Just remember that when God is watching you,

You were born a champion.

HIGHLY FAVOURED---

I sat n thought, don’t ask me what! My comeback of course.  I’ve been here and their building a career time goes so fast. This planet is not forgotten. Am back on web let’s do life.

I can say sikipitwa, I was lupitaad, (hehehe the dreams are true thing) so valid.  As life goes on, work goes on so does PLANET KASAYA. 

Let me share you what happened while I was away.  I was hit by a wind of favour. The tree by the stream of water, that’s so me… never went dry. My papa kept his every promise.

Less than a year this woman has grown, met people and gone to places. I owe it to God. My planet, I’m back better than best. Keep it Online, share you’re story and listen to my testimonies.

DO NOT SCOFF…

 DO NOT SCOFF… THIS PRAYER… MY STRENGTH

They say; make lemonades when life gives you lemons,

I say; God give me discernment to see ahead of the lemons.

We say; what doesn’t kill you makes you stronger,

I proclaim; I am planted on the rock, I am forever stronger.

They pray; God connect me with the right people,

I pray; dear father give me favour and divine connections.

You ask; is this what destiny holds for you?

I answer; I am divinely protected and supplied.

No destiny obstructers can stand on my way.

BEYOND

This is my Amazon, it is my jungle,

It isn’t a clear zone, one hell of a bungle,

Not a single direction, each step is a mangle,

I have a destination; dine as the mighty mingle,

Beyond the horizon, is a victorious battle.

Bushes and thickets, thorns and shrubs,

This one needs a machete, that one I will curb,

Axe all this thickets, clear the under-blubs,

Clear is not the thought, it is to clear with a blurb,

Beyond that prospect, I must have a triumphant buck.

I am an eagle, as you run… I soar,

I can see from every angle, the amiable and the sore,

So high not to intermingle, I ascend this rule so rare,

Focus isn’t atypical; it’s all you need to be a singular,

Beyond the notable, I shall be a dominant out-stander.

Vote in peace

NOT IN THE FOOTSTEPS OF MY FATHER

I have made a vow,

Not to stoop so low,

Let this be my law,

Before I take the final bow,

Not to walk, in the footsteps of my fathers.

We all know the history,

We have read of a voter’s misery,

This is no longer a mystery,

How we voted in ‘transparency’,

This time I vow, never in those footsteps.

Remember ‘mlolongo’ the line?

History has the shortest line won,

How! Was no dilemma of mine,

Why? Was a question out of line,

Low is what I will be, if I trail along those footsteps again.

How we fought for democracy,

Poured out our idiocracy,

With logic they pressed for voter’s independency,

So that we could choose without discrepancy,

You don’t need to ask? These are the footsteps I would follow.

The most recent was not a hitch,

We shed blood because of ‘some’ speech,

We slay and fought because of a switch,

 And forgot the peace we preach,

At the rooftops I will shout; never in those footsteps of hate.

Now we see crops of coalitions,

We first thought those were perfect coordination,

We envisioned us soaring with ‘their’ cooperation,

But the blame game is ‘their best’ harmonization,

Why ask for my choice? Never in the footsteps of mystification.

The battle of words isn’t the best of quote,

We are voters not just “that’ lot,

We have seen the work and the loot,

And we hold the choice by the vote,

Today I chose a new path, with the power of my vote.
