KENYAN KID

Kenyan Kid
Smiling all along,
Straining not anymore,
Supported in studies,
With free books and pens,
With free laptops and electricity,
Kenyan kid.

Living in the village,
Covering the mileage,
With patched uniform,
In the windowless classrooms,
And few 'commited' teachers,
In overcrowded classrooms,
Kenyan Kid.

On bare feet they play,
With empty stomach they dance,
And on numb fingers they write,
And the dusty knees they kick each other,
Kenyan Kid.

MAMA TAKE ME TO SCHOOL


Let me go to school,
To know how to read,
To learn how to write,
Mama take me to school.

Let me go to school,
To meet different people,
To stay with our neighbours,
Mama take me to school.

Let me go to school,
To know why people fight,
To learn how to stop them,
Mama take me to school.

Let me go to school,
To get the meaning of change,
To implement change in society,
Mama take me to school.

MOTHER OF A SON


Mother of a son,
Mother of the nation,
Your efforts never on vain,
Your efforts are never plain,
Ingrained in pain,
Gladly there is grain gain
To feed the greed nation.

Mother of a son,
Your ground hit is reputable,
The ground your forefather bought,
The ground your pretty house got cremated,
And the herds,products of your scaled hands,
Were taken by the friendly neighbors,
The ground you vowed to till til death.

Mother of a son,
Hit the ground harder,
That the nation may feed on your sweat,
That the spirit of your only son,
May be appeased and console you,
Your son sacrificed in the infamous Valley,
For the sake of the beloved nation!

Mother of the son,
Till the ground harder,
That your Mama's heart rejoices,
Her soul fleed in the worship place,
When the bullet kissed her heart ,
Courtesy of the 'holy war' her remains are on the same ground.

Mother of a son,
Work on the ground harder,
That the elected noisemakers find a market,
A market for your products and land,
A market for your peace and security,
A market for your last breath and strength
