Low Moments Were tears a flute playing sad tunes, my eyes would be the masters hand Were fears a futile play of sweet song, my hands would be reeds against wind Were cares a feeling of great guilt, my heart would be a caged bird Were dares a repeat of failure, my mind would be a bootstrap Were scares a fling of terrified emotions, my skin would be horrifying music Were prayers a fruitless attempt at faith, my mouth would be a fallen saint. 'These poems especially speak to a number of related realities in Kenya and othercountries in the African continent; they speak about a people with ingenuityand yet forced to make tough choices because of hard economic and politicalconditions; they speak of an evolving culture, shaped by everyday realities oflife and the ingenuities of survival. The mixture of languages and slang alsogive the poems an interesting immediacy and life.' - Mwenda Ntarangwi, Sociology Professor 'She is one of the most respected female poets in Nairobi today'.
