Hesitate
Translations available in: English (original) | French | Spanish | Italian | German | Portuguese | Swedish | Russian | Dutch | Arabic

Society dictates
How it irritates
They claim they know
What I can and cannot do
They say they know
What I should and should not have
Ati they even decide
Who I should and should not be?!

Everyday they strip me
With their haughty eyes
Tagging me
Judging me
Confining me
C’mon Society
What’s wrong with you?

As I questioned,
I realized
Society is you
My friends
Society is you
My family
Society is me
Tis therefore under our control
We can change if we choose
We can make it better
If we realize
The universe is ample enough
For us all to flourish
In our unique unlimited selves
Let’s set ourselves free
Let’s delight in our diversity
Let’s delight in our individuality
As society dictates
Let’s hesitate
Live and let live
Be and let be

On the other side of the divide
As society dictates
What you can and cannot do
What you should and should not have
Who you should and should not be
Hesitate
Realize your place in the universe is
Guaranteed
Realize you are your own gravity
Your rise, your fall
Answers only to your call

Cling onto your true self-worth
Uncover the sea of possibilities
Meandering within you
Then cruise in the magic of life with
The greatest in history
As you realize that
The stream of supremacy
Inscribed within you
Surpasses
The perceived ocean of power
That’s in the outside world.

Yes hun’
You can do, have, be
Anything you set your mind to
So be true to your core
Your heart, your soul
And as society dictates
Hesitate
Don’t just imitate
Meditate
Find you, Free you, Be you.

I Write
Translations available in: English (original) | French | Spanish | Italian | German | Portuguese | Swedish | Russian | Dutch | Arabic

I write

To exhale all this

Exhausting rush in the world

This confused hurry

Everyone seems to be in

Like our stars Paul Tergat

Tegla Lorupe

Catherine Ndereba

Towards the finishing line

With focus, determination, speed

I write my way away from

All this mayhem to

The serenity within me



I write

Because it’s

A nutritious delicacy

Minerals to my mind

Refreshing me to unwind

Vitamins to my soul

Nourishing me to be whole

I write to see the light

To be the light that shines

Like the Day Star

In a glow that blows you away like a

Motivated typhoon at the top of

Donald Trump’s, Richard Brunson’s

Bill Gates’

Payrolls



I write

To eternally liberate

This ocean of emotions

Surfing inside of me

When tis not enough to cry

Words like tears

Wash away my fears

When laughter plays hard

My pen on my pad

Spells out the cheers

When confused, afraid, perturbed

In my words I can be

‘Conje’ or even Leila Ali

And box the uncertainties away



I write

Because my word is mighty

A weighty gift

From the Almighty

I write to be

The voice of my time

A revered record

The future will love to flaunt

I write to

Roar with the lions

Soar with the eagles

Flow with the rivers

I write

To be free

To be ME
