“Mungu tabariki”

Fellow mwananchi
I believe
I see the invisible
With all hope gone
Amidst the scars of tragedy
In gushing tears of pain
Victoria waters melancholy lie
Death looks gigantically down
But let it go
“Mungu tabariki”
Endemic malaria
Pandemic corona
Leave not a rack behind
But let not thee say
Stay at home
Dreadful secrets unrevealed
What was past is present
But let it go
“Mungu tabariki”
We have a will
Yes a will to march on
A common destiny to reach
“Pamoja tiunane”
Brother or foe
My call to all
For we are all bound here
Onyango,Njeri,kemunto all one
Marking through these
Back to glorious blooms.
All dreams vanished
Culture the cause of fear
You battered faded walls
Herself bewitched
I’ll tell you more
Every hour of day and night
Elephants fight daily
But the grass bleeds,starves and dies
We’ll brave life’s rough terrain
Ooh! mwananchi
Our shambas
Miles from home
Through thee darkened forests
Vines reached the light
Behold our golden fruits
So long as we are here
Life’s battles continue
But gun me not
Hand at hand at it.
A feeble nation
Left off to mock
Most deeply rooted
Manifested in human minds
Down the slopes
Out of infinite pain
I will walk again
Have you wondered why
Seen my steps falter
