Creative People

            (By Elizabeth Opiyo)

Creative people are so amazing

Roles played by them are so inspiring

Explorers gather information and explore ideas

Artists experiment with the new approaches

Timing and evaluation of the ideas is the role of the judges

Implementation is fought for by the warriors

Very critical thinkers they are

Ever inspiring, amazing and challenging

Pen and paper are their tools for illustration

Every experience stimulates their personal growth

Open-minded and always loving their work

Passion for what they do is so rewarding

Looking always behind the first answer

Ever shall they prevail!

Do you Care

By Elizabeth Opiyo

Where are the days that people cared?

Where are the days that people shared?

Where are the days that fear was not part of life?

Where are the days that love and peace ruled?

Where is the land where people care?

Where is the land that care is alive?

So that I can fly to that land,

And grab the care, and spread it to the whole world?

Do you care whether someone cares to be their brother’s keeper?

To save the lives of people dying of hunger?

To save the lives of people dying from road accidents?

From AIDS, from cancer, and from insecurity?

Do you care when your neighbor is suffering?

And do you care when the unborn are aborted?

Do you really care?

I long for a people who care

Can someone tell me where they dwell?

So that I can go and join them

And live with them a life full of love, peace and joy.

Yes I know what to do

I won’t go and I won’t join them

I’m gonna be the care

And I hope that the people around me will soon care

Because I have the potential to inspire them.
