ANIMA ANIMUS

  She came to me in kindness Said in my arms she felt weakness For I am the thief who left her loveless Now in her heart she was spirit less She said, “Give what you gave to the one who is priceless Whom in her words my life she possesses It’s not in stupidity I offer you access I just had to have it to get rid of the guess How could she pick you and ignore my distress? All my achievements have begun to regress Never had I doubted that she and I would be a success However, in your cloud her thoughts are compressed This has me wholly in a fucking mess Please accord me the one to whom I said ‘yes’ You may be enjoying the game but for me this ain’t chess Whatever the price I will pay in excess Here is a ring to seal the promise that I confess Now do to me all you want and those that you suppress Whatsoever it takes to get me in one with my spouse.” So I gave her her wish with every caress Now I hold them in my mind in obsess.

  Family, friends and strangers come to my door. “Knock knock!” “Who’s there?” Family; So I run to my room for a tighter pair of jeans I open the door with a smile on my face to meet my genes. “Hey honey, we haven’t seen you in a while, We are starting to suspect some bail. Is there anything to eat? Oops! How do you survive living like a man? We shall gather up something ourselves, save you a burn. So what is the last time you went to church? We saw you on the T.V the other day speaking more of those gay wrongs. No wonder your eggs never seem to hatch Speaking of hatching, your son still has that cold Do not fool yourself; it has something to do with that girl you hold. “   Family, friends and strangers come to my door. Friends; Kicks open the door like SWAT. “Wsup wsup wsup?” Fuck! You look like shit What was the last time you slept? Worry not I brought a blunt and a bottle for you. But I think you need much more, don’t you?

I am at work right now but I think seeing 500 views from the diaspora means people are looking for news, I have only good ones to share to the disappointment of pessimists. The country we love to live in is doing well and am surely not gonna miss out on this opportunity to congratulate the colourful beauties of Kenya. I will not even lie to anyone; we were just as worried as ya’ll out there for our well-being and resurfacing of the darkness in us. In all honesty I am more shocked and happy than I have been in a while. The Election Day for me was just full of phone calls from friends urging me to get up quick and go vote. Please note 5years ago I think I was the only one within my age bracket running to mark my ballot paper. On this eventful Monday I saw civic responsibility that I have not witnessed in all those Iraqi war movies in the last decade. A beautiful thing I must say. So afterwards, pals got back together in private homes to watch every single minute of the results
