DYING TREE

why do you strip me off naked

can\t you see i bleed

twigs you cut peeled my barks

with an axe chopped my body

all for your own purpose

leave me not to repose

undress me mercilessly

rape and kill me

don't you realize you'll pay the price

famine and hunger linger

erosion barren lands no plants

flooded with hundred waters

nature's wrath on my side

strangled the vein of life

you ugly mean humans

can't you see what miseries

the earth of birth soon vanish

too late to replenish you killed me

heartless cruel souls

soon no more trees to feed you...

BALLET DANCER

in my shack i dream of wondrous life

often watching these graceful steps

on the screen of my neighbor's television

how i wish to dance like them

but i have no means to pursue

and when would that happen

impossible being able to reach

but i pray that my dream comes true

please God give me hope

lead me on the stage of ballet

foolish thoughts occupied my brain

i strongly believe someday i'll find

a way to dance like those young girls

i watch each day....but am from Kibera

no hope no chance to dance

but then a white kind-hearted lady discovered me

dancing on the roadside gracefully

approached me to attend her ballet class

exalted in joy...great euphoria enveloped me

could this be true my dream i follow

DUSTY TRAIL

the long and winding spiral path

steep stony and dusty so free

treeless mountain ranges

glaciers glinting sun reflecting

cascading through massive rocks

down the valley of apricots

through the onion fields

between placid twin lakes

where wild trouts in abundance

untouched by humans

a legend of Saiful Moluk

once told a beauty that lived

blessed by God of the nature

dwelled amongst the habitat

guarded by Nanga Parbat

shooting the sky so majestic

fortress of mankind so divine

down the dustry trail at the edge

of this might great peak

shall forever standing tall...
