Oh Merciful Jesus by Fr. Joseph C. Ogbu

A New Year by Fr. Joseph C. Ogbu

SO SHALL IT BE by Fr. Joseph C. Ogbu

HEADS IN A DEN OF Ai (Artificial intelligence) by Fr. Joseph C. Ogbu

Your birth defines human's curiosity and innovation

And like harmattan fire, you spread to every living nation,

Flying tirelessly like an eagle in the sky

And timelessly on work, than an epic spy.

Day and night your steps and activities hold stronger;

A mere robot, ever seems perfect; never felt as a stranger,

Yes! She cares like a nursing mom; and launches vapidity as our heritage

Like a virtuous one she stands; but leaves brain ever like a fresh garbage.

Ai, Your beautiful name we daily acknowledge 

Your activeness we faithfully, with smile pay homage,

Though, your unfurling soccour, smites us gently

 Ai, you are killing us and unborn generation silently.

Oh Ai!, your existence is a mockery to the mighty's creation

Your actions, rigid and unappealing; imagine the pollution,

You boldly launched laziness and ignorance with no mercy

And lost in critical thinking, we enthrone and glorify illiteracy.

MAPEMA SANA PADRE na Fr. Joseph C. Ogbu

Huzuni kapata umaarufu haraka,

Tanzia! barua likasomeka,

Macho yalitiwa upofu, kwa machozi kutirika,

Alfajiri sana Jeshi kaondoka 

Wala adhuhuri hukuweza fika.

Furaha yetu ilipojituliza

 Huzuni ikapaaza sauti,

Tamaa yetu tungekuuguza,

Ila haikutuonea huruma mauti,

 Utume kweli ungeendeleza,

Basi Kifo naye msaliti. 

Loo! Dunia basi

Machozi yetu kasi

Padre  tena haupo nasi

Imani umeilinda

Kristo Mauti lishinda

Na huko kwake mekwenda, 

Na Kwake umejituliza.

Hakika kifo ni fumbo

Wala hatuelewe lake jambo.

Padre wetu Asterius Mutegeki

Sauti yako tena haisikiki,

Katamani kabisa tucheke

Wazo la uwepo wake,

Ndo kaja Mwenyezi aliyemtaka

Nasi tukabaki na kuchoka.

Katika wema na kheri,

Mpe taji jemadari,

Kwenye udhaifu na shari,

Huruma yako itakabali,

Twaomba astahili,

Umuangaze kwa yako miali,

Astahili rehema zako.

Lala salama Baba, 

Usafiri salama Mtu mwema

Naenda salama Mpendwa

Tutakutana kwa Mungu Baba. 

PLEASE GOD, by Fr. Chukwudi (JoeNwaOgbu)

HERI YA PASAKA KWAKO!!! na Shemasi Joseph C Ogbu (JoeNwaOgbu)

Alleluia! ni wimbo wetu; hatuna mashaka,

Cherekochereko, njia yetu; kaja na Pasaka,

Furaha tele, nyoyo zetu; kwetu ni baraka,

Vigelegele safi, ndimi zetu; hatuna haraka,

Tembea kwa maringo, yupo kwetu; Kristo Mfufuka,

Huzuni kwaheri, furaha karibu; Kristo kajitoa sadaka,

Tabasamu basi; Kristo Yuko nasi, hautaanguka,

Basi, naomba nikutakie neema na fanaka

Katika kipindi hiki cha shamrashamra za Pasaka,

Na mema yaendelee kukaa nawe bila mipaka, 

Ili daima uishi na kuneemeka,

Na baraka zitiririke kama mvua wakati wa masika.

MACHOZI NA MAJONZI TENA na Shemasi Joseph C. Ogbu (JoeNwaOgbu)

 Nyumbani imesikika, 

Mlango ukapigika,

Kelele kubwa metoka,

Mjumbe ameshafika,

Machozi yatiririka,

Moyo umeshavunjika,

Loo! Baba Mwanjonde katoka.

Baba Mwanjonde katoka,

Kenda kwa alompeleka,

Alofanya kaumbika, 

Ni huzuni kwa hakika,

Kwake Mungu atapumzika,

 Imani yetu kafika,

Kweli hatuna mashaka,

Bwana ndiye kamtaka.

Bwana ndiye kamtaka,

Alotufanya kucheka,

Kwa upole alipendeka,

Utume alisifika,

Baridi imekushika,

Joto kwako limetoka,

Mtu mwema kaondoka,

Mwanjonde ametutoka.

Mwanjonde ametutoka,

Ulimi umekauka,

Kwa tenzi tunatenzika,

Huzuni na hekaheka,

Ni wazi na ni hakika,

Nasi huko tutafika,

Padre Timothy nenda,

Nenda salama Mwanjonde.

Hatuna cha kulaumu, 

Mungu kwake ziwe sifa,

Sote tulo binadamu,

Ni hakika tutakufa,

Hakuna sintofahamu,

Mwanjonde metangulia,

Na kesho tutamfuata.

Kwaheri Baba

Kwaheri Sana Baba

Safari umemaliza Baba

Lala salama Baba

Nasi baadayi tutakufuata Baba.

IT IS WORTHY YOUR PRAYER by Fr. Alex E. K. Mtarondwa (MkaaPwekeKariakoo)

There is never time to pray,

There is never plan to pray,

There is no way to avoid,

There is no voice never heard

Every kneel, every moment, every dash is reserved for God

Every so called "EVERY"

Is worthy your prayer.

Every loss and gain

Every happiness and pain

Every respect and shame

Due season and rain

Darkness and sunshine

When life is easy and in comfort zone

When your heart is in trouble and broken

Every season

Every person

Every situation

Every reason

Is worthy your prayer.

No mater the position you have

Despite being hated or loved

Neither the higher you go

Nor the harder you fall

When all is hell

When all is well

When there is darkness in your heart

Or light in it than never

When in hardships, uncertainties and setbacks

Or your life is of deep meaning and inner peace

That moment

Is worthy your prayer.

Every silence

Every noise

Every person

Every season,

Every situation

It is the real reason

Worthy your prayer.

Make it yours

You're not busy 

When it is your duty

Prayer in the night, prayer in the morning,

Prayer in the noon, prayer in the evening,

Every moment, every drop,

Every move, every stop,

It is never too early nor too late,

Stop what you're doing and get back to prayer.

Whatever is called "EVERY"

This very moment, 

Is worth your prayer.

IT IS

WORTHY 

YOUR PRAYER.

NI UKOMA KABISA na Joseph C. Ogbu (JoeNwaOgbu)

Wapi unaogelea huu ukoma wangu

Kwako nakimbilia ee Mungu wangu,

Magoti chini; macho kwako

Tutazame usoni; Sisi watoto wako.

Sauti nzuri tena katulisha kwetu sasa,

Lo! kila tabia mbaya, ukoma kabisa

Tuziache na tufuate mazuri kwa unyenyekevu

Ili daima tuishi kwa furaha na utulivu.

Uendelee kukaa nasi ee Mungu Mwema

Wala usisite kutuponya katika kila wetu ukoma

Tuweze tena kukuimbia nyimbo zetu nzuri

Kwa kututendea haya makubwa mazuri.

Ee Mungu Mwenyezi wa milele

Naomba uendelee kutuongoza mbele,

Utuponye jumla bila kubakiza hata kipengele

Maisha yetu yapambwe na amani na vigelegele

Ili nyumba zetu; mfano mzuri huku na kule

Na njia zetu; mafanikio na baraka tele.
