Larry Liza is one fun christian,person,poet and friend.I could not stop laughing the first time I met him at Mamlaka church.That is normally hard since my sense of humor is wuuuuh…...you know.He captures the essence of the theme in his poems.He is one kenyan poet who is taking our kenyan roots to another level through poetry all over the world.
He really graced our wedding day and believe you me, my husband and I had fun the Liza way.
One of my favorite Liza poem is THE PEOPLE OF FACEBOOK.It got me cracking up all day because I just fitted the ‘likist‘ category.Awww snap!
With his permision,Here’s a preview of it from his collection of Petals Of Poetry 2014
The braggarts – ujaluo ni gharama
‘At JKIA first class lounge’
‘Heathrow Business Lounge’
Never to see ‘Mogadishu airstrip’
The yappers – post it all
‘Woken up’, ‘Showered’
‘What’s for dinner?’
(as if we cook for you)
‘Yawn’ ‘Boredom’ ‘Diarrhea’
‘Brazil lost’ (as if we didn’t know)
The murderers – of language
‘Xaxa, 2me2pana’,
‘rotflol’, ‘hbd’, I 4c trabo
‘Don no wen’ ‘ai het pipo!’
4get kapxar azn c-oni, 2chat ltr
‘Lawd, tsa hawwwt’
The whiners – vuvuzelas
‘This gov’t is stupid’
‘I hate lazy people’
‘Left key at home’ (so, we bring it?)
‘KRA must style up’
The photosees
More selfies than meals
The nails, food, the cat, toes
The wind, the smell, the tout!
Groundies, roofies, toppies
Anyone for graveyards?
The silent ones – last post 2011
Be fooled not, they the snoops
The spiritual –‘Thank you Lord’
‘My Jesus, my bwana’
‘They that wait upon the Lord’
The sharers – this, that, any
Shared Humans of New York photo
Joel Osteen’s status, Churchill’s photo
No shared monies whatsoever
The know-it-all lecturers
The likists
The feelings feelers
What are you?
