TGW!!!! Introducing Luki

-
And the sins of the fathers
Shall rest upon the heads of the sons!

Luki:
Times gone bad
Leaving my heart grieved my soul crashed and my spirit sad
So bad is now the destination of my time
Time which I am no longer the station
Which is no longer really mine?

Namatsi:
Yes things gone wrong
Emotional pain prolonged
Truth is now secret… swept under the rag
As the hate and lies nag, really
Left, right, center, front, back and center
Whatever happened to the true messenger?

Luki:
Times gone wild, untamed, undomesticated
Really out of its mind, as it waits for no man
For me it hasn’t been kind
Stained with hate and dirtied with lies
Times gone dark granting blindness to ma eyes

Namatsi:
Nyakati za utata
Usawa wa ubaya
Uhaba wa mioyo safi
Majitu tumegeuka
Misitu tumegeuza kwetu
Yetu nikutoridhika na chochote kile
Things going wrong!!!

Luki:
Yes when well we know
Maybe time will tell even fate and destiny submit to time as well
If time is money then it has answered our poverty
Because time is not property even for emperors, kings and dynasties

Namatsi:
What are we yearning for
What are we fighting for
What are we living for
And what are we dying for
Things make sense no more
That is the design of our lives now
We want the less to have less as we step on them to get more
Kujikanda namaji ya jehanamu

Luki:
Ever given thought that God could be time,
Master of space and time
Never bounded by neither
For we can never control time we can only pray it be granted and hope it be delivered
Yes not controlled
But it can be created
Make it prime time to shine

Disrupt - Who am I

Often the universe leads us to paths that lead us to new roads - I recently went to a the land of seeds; thanks to Hivos. Here are the poems I wrote for Disrupt. Who am I I am a seed in the soil A farmer in the field The seed company I am the link – I am the bridge I am here and I have something to say No pain no gain but this train I ride is too long The rain I see, fall is too plain It fills me with needless pain Ni usiku wa manane giza kote imeenea Amelala shujaa, mkulima – kesho ifike jembe akashike Si usingizi mzito ni ule wa kudukuadukua Ule wa kuhofia – wa kufikiria Kidogo amelala, kidogo anaamka wasi wasi – kila mara Tukajajua mja huyu ni  bingwa! Kwani sote twamtegemea Vita ametupigania – chakula mezani kifike -  lazima nimzungumzie He stands alone – feels alone – looks for hope Stripped of rights  In a country so rich I am a seed in the soil A farmer in the field The seed company I am the link – I am the bridge I am here

The Mind is a con man!

If the sun shines tomorrow like it did today wake my heart with a kiss If the moon looks for her in the darkness of the night Hold me like the stars hold stormy winds when we make love If she hides behind the clouds... remember me still Remember me... Remember my scent how my skin felt How my locks fell on your chest, when I slept on your chest Remember my kisses and how my body moved against yours Remember everything that comes with me.... I told her in a loud silence Sometimes life is clear sometimes blur..... Even this poem and honestly I am not gifted with sight! "Its all in the mind"... he said But tell me how I only win battles in my mind never in the field I guess luck is an enemy! Oh how I hate vows and promises burn them before you see me So if my voice is stolen by the witch of the sea, never to be heard again Look for the truth in my eyes... If they still talk Before you kiss me with your lies Let me feel love when our lips touch even if it

If I die today

When weird words come to you and you can only pray that it doesn't happen soon!!! If I die today, shed no tear in grief But find strength in the words of my poems There, There I will be waiting for you If I die today, shed no tear in grief But smile that the world gave me a chance to share memories with you And I will miss your hugs, but find me in the warmth of your heart There, There I will be waiting for you If I die today, Let me go to the forces that call on me Wherever my body may go to rest, my spirit remains with you Remember never to forget that I loved you with the power of the sun And even death as scary as she sounds cannot stop this love If I die today, I will be your rainbow Flashing in the sky once in a while And for those days that you will miss me terrible Find me in the words of my poems There, There my love, I will always live In the warmth of your heart I promise you I will be © Namatsi Lukoye
