A Traitor


By Edward Kiplagat


Dogged by confusion
I lost my intuition
Condemned to sorrow
I will always have yours lost straw
In you I thought I were a pillar
Never did I know I had befriended a heart killer
More poisonous of a deadly viper
Who could hurt even much deeper
You tipped mine heart with yours sharp dagger
Its pain I can withstand any longer
I guess I saw a gesture
Which portrayed yours picture
Saving grace being mine courage
I have got to put off this burning rage
Wide opened being the under-ward gate
I am like a cursed son of fate
Crying myself dry yours act I won’t erase
An ugly thing it was to showcase
Ignoring mine excruciating pain
Heartless you became like the man Cain
Silence now have become mine urgency
Sipping away all my energy
By my side I have several clergy
To have theirs advice
In protest to condemn yours vice
To you heartless being
One pound to do such a thing
The one who gave me a poisonous sting
I swear! You will one day be haunted to think
When you come across mine poem written in ink

As a journalist who had worked in Kakuma, efforts to stop such practices ended in unnoticeable success.

The Mysterious Ghost

  The smoke blankets the loft of the shed. But only when you are at the roadside facing the graveyard, you envisage the navel of the shed. She covers her navel with damp attires. Dust is blown onto it by the winnowing wind of devils and the spirits of the ghosts caress these damp clothes. You can have your choice of a material which you will find definitely a few strides to the closest market called Libya.
