I WRITE.......

Relentlessly I write

Certainly not about smiles

For I know how abject poverty

Stamps a sneer on a politicians’ mouth

I sing praises not to our leaders

They lead us to lead in disloyalty

To our very own creed

Justice be our shield and defender.

I write……

Down in the ghetto terror is relayed via wire

Mungiki are guns for hire, the police are excited to fire

So hastily at the victims, you can’t judge, who’s the liar?

Relentlessly, I write……. what choice do I have?

Out in the cold a child wails, evidently out of hunger the cry is frail

The Red Cross tent is torn, yet, it’s the only shelter from the hailstorm.

Relentlessly, I write…….. hoping the wrong to right

In the village masses fight, in parliament smiles are bright

Judgment based on tribe; else you can afford a bribe.

I write……. write tirelessly, not firing aimlessly

On T.V. they call it inflation, a learned term for mass starvation

Time for mass action, property destruction, authority inaction.

What choice I’m I left?

Drank drivers can barely keep left, corrupt cops at their best

Ten people lie dead, the driver bribed around the driving test.

What choice do I have?

Of crime I’ve had enough, to write I now have the nerve

I write…….

Expecting some sanity and love, like a dove from the heavens above.
