2013 In Review

2013 a year that will now be history only a memory to many, a time some will reflect and smile while others will reflect and curse. That is how time is in life, time really never expires, unlike a fire time can never be extinguished. Time only retires to a place known as the past while it reincarnates and keeps on counting years. At Urban Song we take this moment to review some of the writings that were cast down during the entire 2013. This year the writings were just a hobby, yes to me poetry is what I play, what I like in essence it is my daily event. I like Hip-Hop and I write in a Rappers Eye View well that is strange but only to you who see it that way. Listed are poems and anything else that is on this blog as from Jan 2013 till this post not in any order: Feel free to click on any link and be my reader. Happy New Year 2014.

When I Was in Your Life

I am that guy, I am not just that type Who feels himself with air and real hype, I cannot plan myself I just happen, Tell myself am strong I can’t be shaken, When I fall in love my heart can’t be broken, and when I pick a pen I can’t write a love poem, I used to deceive myself am the one who gives, I could not be on the end that receives, Stronger like a soldier with a handheld shield, My life was just perfect no place for grief, a definition of happiness learn it from my life, Everything was super this life ilikuwa juu, Then the best happened and I met you, Turned my life upside down literally, Brought me closer to love and reality, Pushed me to someone I loved dearly, I became crazy everything transformed, this world was filled I was never alone, I began watching the boring soaps , Changed the place where I hanged my phone, From my pockets to every time in my hands, a minute wouldn't pass without a text from you, a moment of silenc

Happiest Birthday Manuu

I am sitting somewhere just listening, Nothing, in particular, the day has been interesting, I have been counting ten since sweet sixteen, I can't remember the day I shed milk teeth, Rough it has been soft at will as I progress, Reasons, seasons changes I am coming of age, New things, new ways I am turning over a new page, It's been a while now, and like time, I keep on going, It is my time on the stage; I am the one now showing, The candles that have been arranged, I am the one blowing, Ammanulah, Emmanueli, and now the Poet, Keep this day in mind and Never Ever Forget, The day is Yours. Happy Birthday.

Kenyan Love

I know I am Kenyan by Birth, Nothing shall ever come between the two of us, Will live here forever 'until death do us part, Kenyan Love that’s what this is all about, Defining Thelastpoet; a poet by art, Kenyan a poet, Shall be as long as my breath shall last, In the line of poets find me standing last, Always say am not least but the latest, Love stories life worries on paper is where I cast, Happiness, freedom is what I do find, In writing this lines quenching my thirst, It’s the only way I tell my secrets,  The only place I find my defense, The land of Diversity we are forty two. This is all about Kenya too. From the expansive waters of the Indian Ocean Through the palm covered sites of the coast, Going up through the woods of Tsavo Across the urban towns in Nairobi, Down the Great Rift Valley, To the new found treasures of Turkana, You can’t stop but to wonder Then move west to Luanda, The land of Magere the great Warrior, Feel the fresh breeze of Lake Victoria, To the uplands

A Case of Time, Music and Medicine

Music medicine for the soul! So they said quoting any good song, I never doubt them I let my ears be the judge. Back then Music was soul and songs were medicine. The older the songs the sweeter they did sound, Time has really grown, now 2013 years old, How it relates to medicine I don't understand, Les you disregard old wine tests sweeter on the other end Medicine too has been known to taste bitter. In a case like this who be the petitioners, in the stands lets add the listeners, on the other side bring on the composers, The song writers and the performers, Have them give the evidence just like artists, He said a painter paints pictures on canvas,Let the musicians paint their pictures on silence. Time and music should not be on the case, this is just not their place, they are like freedom free indeed, can’t be proven guilty or innocent, but if you must get somebody else, In medicine we have the testers,it no fair call them guinea pigs, To know how it is we use wine testers, as for
