If Dedan Kimathi wasnt the one, then the society is high on opium Am being socialised under Karl Marx economic point of view, philantropic in churches paying my tax to be harrased by the policemen (u know how this guyz deal with people down here) the sitution is sad seeing mothers who cant protect their babies men who cant protect their ladies let justice be our shield (a line from the national anthem) even if it means fighing for it like we did from the the Nyayo regime (u know how it was) If we would tear down this curtain (freedom of speech) n expose what u do behind them i’m sure u would come to where we kive n avenge (u know what they do) some of the things people are doing are so last year i thought we had talked of having songs that uplift the people but u still dozing off u can complain if u think u r being treated lesser some people r stupid, they bite the hand that feeds them u can hide when they sense its u whom they want to corner u can say what u want u all know how it goes when u r being forced into what you dont like u all know how praising the master results to a famous writer (Ngugi wa Thiong’o) was robbed n the wife raped thats how they could thank him, thank him for giving u ideas that would help u change the country for good my eyes see through walls like the transparent clothes worn by whores i saw them hire famous assassins n mercenaries who perch on roofs lying in wait dead bodies left in boots of cars they always making those types of calls your time is over your enemies are tracing u with your scent i pity the guy who started witch-hunting on to have corruption cases dealt with in a zero tolerance approach what was the outcome that was handed to him?? (most end up dead, exiled, or bankrupt— i just dont know how they pull it) The accounts of government coffers holding money for we the people go empty anyway, we are still heroes who can change this, we are stronger coz we have already gone thru n overcome the slave master days n being ‘stoned’ with rotten eggs like Kenyatta i know what you want i know what u love i know where you r going i know you want what rightfully belongs to to you its about time its about time i know what you want i know where you r going i know you want what rightfully belongs to to you its about time its about time you are a hero your tears break my heart why is it that the world has forgotten u??? whats going to be without you in this world?? can you see that?? can you see a sign?? can u see a sign?? i know you are almost giving up on this war dont dare give up dont give up you are a hero |
