What Am I Doing With My Life?

Dribbling past 8 players to score,

Javelin throwing learnt in You Tube,

Hundred metres in 9.58 seconds,

The circus, make it or die acrobats.

What am I doing with my life? 

Bridge made of glass.

Train moving at 603km/h.

A building 1700 metres tall.

Going to the moon and back

What am I doing with my life? 

50,000 seater church.

Tele-preaching,reaching millions.

A christian preaching in Syria.

Raising the dead and healing the sick.

What  am I doing with my life? 

Money travelling in the air via M-pesa.

If Apple was a country it could be amongst the 50 richest in the world.

One firm employing hundreds of thousand

A brand has been here for over 100yrs.

What am I doing with my life? 

Speaking bolding against government.

Supporting the poor and marginalised.

NGO's for genuine cause.

Seeking to unite warring communities.

What am I doing with my life? 

Dying the Martin Luther way,for,justice.

Standing for total integrity,the PLO way.

Against neo-colonialism the Castro way.

Not giving up like Job.

What am I doing with my life?

After All Is Said & Done.

In the morning,curtains were cut.

At 93 his life had come to an end.

In the evening,we laid him to rest.

A few, majorly family, turned up.

In the presence as well was the current CJ.

44yrs of legal profession and then CJ. 

No fancy grave.

Everything was simple.

Just like that?For a former CJ.

Yes,just like that.

How could it be?

Well,after all she is gone.

Veins of memories opened up.

The memories of many.

From Wangari Mathai to Mother Teresa.

From Jacob Juma to Mercy Keino.

From Demis Roussos to Mark Vivian Foe.

From Adolf Hitler and Musolini.

My heart sinks at a reality.

Reality of one day,you and I will be gone. 

One day we will be gone,

It will not be how and why we died.

It will be about what we left behind.

It will not be the possessions amassed.

It'll be about treasures,memories and impact.

Tables must turn,

Energy must be focussed on what matters.

We are passersby.

Endowed with much,we must explore.

Contrary,die and be forgotten.

Beyond Average

So Trump won to be the POTUS.

A billionaire in his 70's.

He appealed to the hearts of Americans.

Despite his past accusations.

He was least expected. 

Hillary is a fighter.

A first lady,senator,and sec of state.

Her dream of leading USA is over.

Despite popularity,tides were against her.

She will forever remain an icon.

News have been flowing all day.

My focus is shifted,productivity lowered.

There is more to this election than a win.

A great signal is being sent to my heart.

A wake up call. 

Is it that others are born with silver spoon?

You can be great,your parents were great

Lineages that outlive each generation.

If I can be reborn,I'd choose where to.

So sit down wishfully?No!  

I want to outlive me.

'Here lies a great man' tombstone.

I can be the first in line of greatness.

I know not where to start or end up.

All I want is life of impact. 

On my knees I am,

God guide my pathways,

I am tired of normal life.

Let me die now if all I can be is live me.

Start the process. 

Open up my faculties,

To see things beyond meets the eye.

This is my prayer,

Read to pay the price.

Again,make me great.

The Only Option

You just shot the last bullet,

No target has been hit,

Only for everything to remain unmoved,

Or even moved to worse,

Be strong,it is the only option. 

Crises in your family,

Crises at work,

Crises in business,

Crises in your mind,heart and soul.

There is still a solution.

Be strong, it is the only option. 

No food to eat,

No fees,

No fare,

No hospital money,

This will not last forever.

Be strong,it is the only option. 

Searching for something worthwhile to do.

Deep into the cycle on bill paying.

Nothing is giving you a thrill.

Tried several things and flopped.

You've continued to search,not yet though,

Be strong,it is the only option. 

Mistreated for no reason

Convicted for mistake you didn't commit.

Ridiculed for standing for integrity

Denied justice for you're not who is who

Keep on hitting till it oozes,

Be strong,it is the only option.

 

Cheated on,

Betrayed,

Neglected,

Tortured

You will overcome,

Be strong,it is the only option.

Journey.

My eyes straight ahead,

Determined never to look back,

Along the way, I turn back 'slightly',

My eyes blurr,my focus goes.

And goes back to zero.

This is was I was,God. 

I feel funny,I feel strange,

I feel confused,I feel frustrated.

I feel wasted,I feel horrible.

I feel bad,I feel awful.

I feel,I don't even know what to feel.

This is where I am from,God. 

Many questions of why again,

I don't want it to happen again,

My will must be strong again,

My spirit must be strong again,

My body must be strong again,

This is where you've brought me,God. 

Alone the battle is lost before it begins.

You've healed me,

You've redeemed me,

You've restored me.

You've given me power,

Thank you,God.

That this time round,glue stick my hand to thy might hand.

Let my flesh and all that is in it die,

Let the last person I can trust be myself.

Let me forget myself and remember You.

This is what I want, God. 

My hope,my trust lies in You.

My master strategy is You.

My confidence lies in Your assurance.

My zeal lies in Your refilling.

My next step is Your insight on what next.

I will obey,I will follow.

Just reveal vividly.

This is where my all is,God.

This Life

No school for parenting,

Upbringing becomes subjective,

Thrown to school, teacher to teach it life,

In a system that only hails academicians,

Neglecting individual uniqueness.

What will they do if they get bad grades?

What will happen to the talents?

Who will tell them the deep things of life?

Who will tell them they need to focus?

Who will tell them their flesh is bursting? 

Before the answers could beckon,

The media start shaping them,

Their peers influence them,

The wind against the light is strong.

Only a few stand the test of time here.

 

Going through life without pillars,

Years keep on moving,

They now don't know what they know,

They do whatever without the why.

Life becomes a gamble. 

In their state,they meet mates,with their states,

They call it love,

They move in together,

They call it marriage.

They never learnt a thing from their parents.
