Omondi Oronymatut by Omondi Orony from Kojwach Kenya

track- matut
track: 1(omondi orony)
niko place kavu between the suicide na hope
between gleaming medals na classics
between worshipping sultry demons na fame,
futted bones, above seven streams
love over daisy flowers, na water flow,
vast place between bars na reality
galaxy ina tilt, following the milky way
parallel thoughts, on a shifted paradigm
jupiter shades kwa window lights, trees with mosaic view na faulty edges
foggy fonts, on a night click
diary thoughts on dry field full of hay and rumbles,
lost in my agonies
burning like orion in the sky
jack the ripper is back
time to kill a mockingbird,
who commands those who obey?
classic poetries repeating itself in different forms,
so-nipe sikio kama van gogh,
dark spirit surrounding my aura
with bipolar, it's like booth ni mental asylum
hystorical mbombo clat, "" consolation na hope,
kalamu ni molded sapphires turning to burning fever
industry iki- spread hate , sickness and lies, while wakipata lust between heartless thighs,
deeper kushinda poetry kwa the darkest night
squeezing bars, like last portion of toothpaste
reality lying on the shadow of disillusion, and doubt
gatekeepers running in fear kushinda plastic surgeon ako afraid of a needle
unrelenting, unfeeling and numb,
un-invited, unrequited and sad,
always messy, new age producers looking for cycles, try to track art,
arrangement of wack critics and failures (ah sarcastic laugh)
kwa shadow wali-bow their heads
kwa light, tuka-turn foolish shadow
feeding our ego's on
dis-tort-ed messages na fear
tuka fight na writer's block- on our knees kwa chapel gracing
agreement before we slay the abel,
punchline zikawa back to back kama con-joined twins na spinal cord
yet tulikuwa busy killing our brothers for ego na fame,
sixteen bars for battle like are you dumb
shadows whispering, hiphop ni uwa raw fredrick, your craft aint right if you can't freestyle
maybe niko -lost kama calibration of ancient gods
chakra hii thought, ni "kumbayaa" black power
seven sin-s bado zinatu-follow nikubaya
honesty kills, kill for power and be known, funny venye unadhani art ni goodfellas,
play the script well, and win
fans claim, don't listen to the voices down the river
that's how you lose focus
and i lost my way
saa hii ni papers na flip fu trends,
verse for a win, ndio ni-fit
moral ni gap imetoboka sijawai-fill(feel)
me, na satan tunaplay chess, moon river, for fame , lucy ain't right, marapper kwa stage na ma casket
still got few goals to check off before i scream,
the fall off, classic like niko off this season
lord knows, you ain't seen enough of me,
i cheated on me, now am back like a starting melody
now i’m back like starting melody
|verse 2: ochuka|
maua: bustani
kioo: kilio,
faraja na ujio wa kuotoka mbali
hali?
njema tu, nafsi
wakati mwingine, si ati
uhai kuishi
moyo: bonde lipi
litakuonea huruma?
maisha: chini yaa jua, hali?
sometimes, sio njema
je, taabu ina manufaa?
je, maisha ni tamthilia ya kujifunza tu?
je, ukifumba macho kuna tu giza?
au
kuna, mafikra
makumbusho
ya kwamba,
hisia, utu, maumbile, maumivu
na tena, hila ni wa kila mtu
maovu,
hivi matukio ya mauti kazi yao nini?
au, ni malipo, ya pumzi?
malipo ya dhambi ya kurithi?
siku,
unakwisha kuwa mtu,
unageuzwa body tu...
(where do we go from here?)
where’s home?
what's death?
what's dying having not lived?
what's living, just to die?
what's
what's all of this?
is it nothing?
are we, something?
who are we?
what are we?
what are these?
these things, these people we are?
why?
why me?
why you?
why not you, or me?
