Waking up to a dreary morning
Clearly marked 8:07:2025
A little different than yesterday’s dread of sabasaba
Kiswahili for 7.7. maandamano – protests
‘Organized’ demonstration, towards change
That’s what Kenyan genzies, desire
Better put: What the nation requires
Waking up to a dreary morning
Clearly mankind is shocked
A little indifferent perhaps
Kwa mauaji yasiyofaa
Death of young ones demanding change
That’s not what any sane Kenyan wants
It only leaves us with such haunt
Waking up to a dreary morning
Considering the seemingly ‘trigger-happy’ cops
A little deranged is an understatement
Kwani hawa hawana wana?
Should they not be more humane, one wonders
Change is not a curse word, it’s just transformation
Of dysfunctional structures torn through deformation
Waking up to a dreary morning
‘Creative’ genzies and others burning tires, shops, causing mayhem
A little misinformed does not describe them
Kwa kweli, wazazi pia wana jukumu
Parental discretion is a must in this 21st century
For change as with charity, must always begin at home
As is said of any structure, not built in a day, is Rome
Waking up to a dreary morning
Characterized by looming clouds,
A little late in the day to have scattered 7/7 evil
Kamusi, au ukweli wa “Baada ya dhiki Faraja,” upo?
Will the change demanded bring with it a silver lining?
The majority 80% are left to pray; cry out to Father God Asking that where necessary, He work with a sharp Rod
Waking up to a dreary morning
Cut-throat anger, rising within, and pain for every mother
A little dive into what brought us here
Kuua kirahisi bila shida, sio sheria
No matter cadre, rank, status or gender, each human is equal
The cry of many a citizen in Kenya
PLEASE, keep us out of un-called-for danger
Waking up to a dreary morning
Curious to see what this day holds
A little too soon perhaps to hope
Kabisa Mungu wetu upo enzini
Unless we change and become like little children
Allowing the Governor of the nations to lead us Lest we should ultimately find ourselves under a curse
Waking up to a dreary morning
Counsel among many brings safety
A little rolling stone gathers no moss
Kiburi sio maungwana as our Dad Mbotela, would say
Change will require reason, coordination, respect, and love for each other
Beginning right in the house of the Father, where the 80 or so % belong
So that we, as Kenyans may begin to sing our song
Waking up to a dreary morning
Could it be that a new day is dawning?
A little practice makes perfect said in Kiswahili
Kinolewacho hupata
True change, revolution is by self-management, passed on
Now is the time to put our hands to the plough, and not turn back
For never again, should we as a people suffer such lack or slack. Amen!
