#‎Day22_Facade‬

On a calm coastal afternoon
She sweeps by;
Wonders around for a moment
Till she discovers an uncolonized spot
She sits motionlessly
Wallowing at the horizon beyond
Trying to find the break between the sea and the sky far away!
The soft wind blows sand onto her feet
She is too taken away, she feels none of it
Like mortar to brick
The sand on her feet sticks
With wind blowing tiredly
Against her long half-sand-sunken legs
To a pattern of brick on mortar!
Skewed in many ways
But a wall seemed clear as day!She snaps out and lays a mat on the sandy ground
As though a mason lays his slab bound in place by steel
She lies there lost! Yet again, into the blue of the clear sky!
Counting the sun rays to no avail
Only glare everywhere stares sharply!
The walls are raised high
Almost to the sky
Till she notices
A missing roof!
A crown, a tiara…
To honor the majesty of this magnificent scenery!
Thatching works well, this heat is harrowing
Straws of reed with a touch of burnt tiles
Gives a twist of rustic yet subtle style;
To this crown of magnificence,
The walls need a sandstone cladding
Just something, to blend to this surrounding
As she turns to lay on her belly;
Like that one!
The one with a wildlife color coat

She points at a nearby resort!
Doors were of bamboo poles
Strong enough against the sea wind
But meticulously arranged
To allow the sea breeze cool the heated walls inside!
This has to be done right, a house on the beach;
So the façade has to be alright,
She rises, downs her shades and walks away
Into the sea as her round figure fades away.

#‎Day28_DownTheStream‬

As I move further low, Away from the source of my flow; Away from my icy form atop the clouds The path downstream, rocky and at times Extreme! Through forests, tall trees watch me go Feeding their roots with my juice of flow! Thunders strike me as the rains fall Filling my banks I overflow to destruction But the sun shines on me Makes me calm Bring me back; Back to my journey downstream! Gravity calls and so I fall; To magnificent scenes They troll to see! Power their houses or so they think Harness my volume in boxes of concrete! Am calm! Find my way out, and off I flow To your cups; and quench thy thirst! To your smoky mills; you turn me to grease! Though I never cease, to find my way Back to the stream Down I keep my flow! Despite my filth I find my calm Draw from the sun to keep me warm Downstream; I keep my flow! Met with foes across the brows; But behold, the sea unfolds Friend and foe we hold hands in awe! As the sea gates open to let me home. ©

As he thundered down the hall, Calling out names from a scroll; Confusion and turmoil filled the air! Earthlings scurry away, Burying they heads in graves Of blankets and linen, they hid away! Even the light bulbs felt this tremor Blinking scared; from white light to something Nobody cared to shed a light on! Terrifying! It was a rollcall! A daily routine just before bedtime To ensure all heads are accounted for! Once a name was called out twice Kid was too scared, forgot and swallowed his tongue! I still feel a choke, with that tongue still down my throat Morning came, chow time beckons In queues we lined and in silence we observed The arrival of the one, causing all grounds to tremble! Go dress up well, he thundered at Alphonce! His dressing game was ever on the low Always picking up a fight with mister you know who! Once he sew a shirt, a cardigan and a tie as one Just so to evade a pandemonium against his foe! As we waited for our lesson on rocks to ensue

What’s the best definition for a war. A real battle; full combat. Probably equipped with slings to bring down the biggest opponent, like the David story. No I am not about cat fights. Not the hair pulling, oh weave uprooting, it’s not about that sort of battle. Picture a struggle. Like the one we had just before 1963, oh sorry they (Mau Mau warriors) had then. About the warriors; they really did us proud, that I must say. But on the flip side, compensation. In as much as they did this great nation proud; laying their lives on the line in quest for independence and self rule. Question is, who should fund their restitution? They took up the case with The British Govt. the reality of the matter is the British were never in the country, back then, on a tour of the Mara or to visit the Coast… may be they happened to swim in the Ocean and feast on some game meat but that’s about it. They were on a mission, colonisation. Everything that happened back then, I am patriotic and love my countr
