the poem brifly talks about economic crisis as a results of poor leadership |
CRIES OF WORRIES In my motherland Desperation has covered everywhere Cries from innocent citizens Mourning for hunger and joblessness Where will come the savior? The economic crisis is a song of the day Since the cost of living is at the peak The price of basic commodities Food, shelter and clothing Increases day and night The gap between the dynasty And a common mwananchi Is like heaven and earth Wen poverty strikes the nation Survival is only for the fittest Those in government only offers Fake and unfulfilled promises Satisfying and enriching themselves With public resources And un-taxable income Jobs only offered to poor citizens After giving "something small" to leaders Since with somebody at the top A poor may get himself somewhere The same citizen woke up Before the early birds catches the worm With high hopes they queued Ready to elect the so called "prominent leaders" With great passion to enjoy The fruits of the announced agenda With ululations the poor citizens Celebrated the won elections Unfortunate the excitements they had, Has changed into bitter pills What a fateful and disappointments Mwananchi is facing in Kenya today! |
