Matadaha
I wasn't really meant to be a poet
As a teen I was already spoilt
Compared to shit
The same with that one in the toilet
In form two I still had no dream career
Just a teenager filled with craziness and fear
So my future wasn't that clear
Until i met Richard Macharia Mwangi
People speak I'll about Kikuyu people but trust me this one made them look cool
When we meet he was a new comer to our school
Apparent
He was the only one full of talent
Like I mean he was the only singer with a recorded Albums
And the only guy who could solve all computer problems.
Let me tell you how he made me an artist.
Wait did i tell you when it come to lyrics writing he was the best...?
We all know how school life is boring with the regulations and rules.
And in case you don't know boredom kills.
But they is medicine for boredom called hobbies and skills
Skill are really very essential and if practiced well they can pay bills
In school skills ensured that i earned a living
And be part of the crew going out when the school bus was leaving.
You need someone to help you realize your skills as for me mwangi helped me with that
He encouraged me and helped me have the gut
In fact
He is the founder of my poetry.
I remember quite well this man used to write lines and tell me to give them a try
Presenting this lines in front of the whole school......, at first i was shy
But as they say practice make perfect
And what made it more interesting was the fact that i used to earn respect.
In drama Mwangi was like a director always made us in action
The pictorial we're always on caption
"Voice clear you just need to project"
Who else was the founder and the designer of the science project?
Matadaha of course,
Friends disappear in this road of life but this one has always been close
This poetry is a thank you to him
For being a motivation
And the inspiration.
