swaziland. Eswatini.

There is an ancient song older than time,
that can only be heard in silence.
There is a subtle dance performed for God by everything
that exists,and can only be seen in stillness.
But who wants to be still and who can stand the silence?
So we created a static channel and danced to its noise.
Sports,politics,borders,religion,education,royalty,
made men clap loudly their cymbal hands.
Gunshot and bombs thundering drums,
buzzing machines the music cords.
Moving seductively up and down concrete poles
that reached for the sky.
Round and round steel poles riveted to the roof.
Left and right bearing reeds Kris crossing a king.
We danced to money our god,
prosperity his song.

But everybody knows a secular party cant last.
Purged out of this trance left disillusioned,
one by one we looked at the sky.
The galaxy dances round twinkling stars
 at the music made by butterfly wings.
The ocean plays its cords wave by wave
and the trees dance to the song.
Volcanoes and lightening
thundering drums that shake our foundations
a constant reminder of our fragile state.

Born under a master conductor
The whole universe His orchestra.
All creation sings praise and love to the composer.
But not man, free will has isolated us from the tune of His heart.

I'm a free lance conceptual commercial artist based in Nairobi' Kenya Conceptualizing music on canvas, trying to give an illustration on what he perceives the artiste songs is about. I also have a keen interest in children and have published three coloring books to introduce them early to art. These can be purchased on line. Art can change the course of a nation and I am pledged on playing my part in this.
