Freedom 2
Once more, one fear surrounded me
Not knowing that has beaten me
The hot sun speaks louder
A cold pain has shut laughter
No where to run away
As if liberty has turned gray
People shout, clap and walk
People have no opponent to talk
One hope, one fear, one enemy
Many hearts, many thoughts, one enemy
One campus, one map, one road
Prison puts such heavy load
Feet by feet, hand in hand
People want freedom of their land
Oh, hunger of a free walk
Put my old enemy and me into talk
Put his hand in mine
We both shout out the same line
Jail is bad even in heaven
All we want is freedom, freedom, freedom
What he wants to do with his freedom I dont know
But that is freedom on different ways we go.

HAIL MEDIA FREEDOM
Say what you want to
Write whatever you will
For what the August House is about to do
Will entrench media freedom
Deep into the abyss of our constitution
Down there in beautiful darkness
The freedom of expression forever will be
With it will go the freedom of assembly?
And many other freedoms which
Require the protection of the armed forces
To be guarded protected from mercenaries
Both from within and without
So Kenya will jump joyously
For the magnanimity of the god send
Leaders and politicians
For their good work in parliament
For the many bills that theyve passed
We thank them
For the freedom they have allowed us
We are heavily indebted to them
Hail the freedom of the media
Hail the August House
Hail the wise electorate
Hail the interestingly twisted times ahead!
Hail 2012!

An Apprentice's Song
On my exit today
Master
I recall with nostalgia
My first humble step
Into your intimidating workshop
Half-trepid, half-smiling
My feet trembling
And my heart racing
Contemplating the expected.
Your experienced eyes
Shot into my timid eyeballs
Like darts
Accurately hitting the bulls eye
I shivered within
And would have bolted
But for the assuring hands
Of my uncle
Resting warmly on my shoulders
He, with fatherly candour
Claiming with all pleasure
Told you to mould my future.
Worked to your plan
Your errands I ran
From your knowledge I tapped
Rejoiced when you clapped
Sad when your whips graced my back
With many a ruthless smack
Showing your mastery in the art
Dwarfing the energetic efforts
Of the senior apprentices.
All that is past now
For today I sing
Songs of freedom
Not from slavery
But from its similitude
Freedom from servitude
I sing a song
A song of freedom
Freedom to have an opinion
Freedom to act as a man
Freedom!
A new lease of life
The beginning of my future.

Freedom In Grace - Dont Misuse
quite often - fleshs freedom
is no freedom at all.
the orgies of flesh alone -
is not freedom in grace.
the push and pulls of our nerves -
are not freedom in grace.
what do i have to say?
freedom in christ - is not carnal freedom
to power fleshs nerves and carnal taste.
the way out?
holy spirits sensitization, prioritization above flesh.
we are under the spirits law of life in Christ.
