MODUS VIVENDI by Mwangi Gituro

*****

Four slices of hope,

baked in high energy

A spread of optimism

Three scrambled faith,

just slightly fried

Two rolls of what if,

beef not pork

a hot cup of desire,

desire for wealth

*

Open air office,

under a young acacia

job description?

Anything under the sky

Vehicle counting

Who’s winning,

the house on the hill

The dollar loosing. It shouldn’t

Shouldn’t the church be taxed?

**

Two glasses of cold craving

A steaming plate of wishes

Lightly steamed acrimony

A little chili of blame

Four scoops frosted,

home made laziness

A chef’s special d’sert,

damn the president

President is to blame

***

the acacia shade now a bed

A long nap will suffice,

after a busy day in office

snoring, drooling, dreaming

at peace with the status quo

Its six o’clock in the evening

Long journey home begins

Joining the massive human traffic

Traffic of the proud walking nation

****

A hot cup of bitterness

All he need to loose the jet lag

Its supper time, first the appetizer

A bowl of mushroom curse soup

A well filled plate of chimera

I should win a jackpot soon

A glass of home made hate juice

To hell with the government

Government can never be trusted

*****

Early to bed… had a busy day

Suffers indigestion of virtual meals

Mercedes Benzes increased today

I should win that jackpot yesterday

Government can not be trusted

Important decision to make ‘morrow

Uhuru Park or Jivanjee gardens?

Eat, live and sleep faith. just it

It’s a way o’ livin’, modus vivendi…
