Another 25th of June, and my mind can’t rest
Najiuliza kama kina Rex walirest in peace
Ama their blood is still crying from the soil
The same soil they called home
The same soil they played on
The same soil that recorded each step they made,
Another 25th of June najiuliza when will justice be served
Jameni tuko njaa, justice delayed is justice denied
Kwani kesi yao hua haiivi, ama hata haiko jikoni
Karao waliwashoot wako wapi? Any actions taken against them?
Ama they were just following orders
Juu kwa hii hoteli wao ni waiters
Does their blood haunt them? I wanna know!
Another 25th June and I am in a dilemma
As a nation do we have a police force or police service?
Juu jina yao na matendo haziendani
Walifaa kutuprotect but vitu kwa grao vilikuwa different
Ni wao tu walikuwa armed so who exactly pulled the trigger?
Bodies zilifika kwa water bodies aje?
Another 25th of June and I can’t help my thoughts
Between finance bill, na Maisha ya wakenya, which is more important?
Kuna vitu sielewi, hii gava inaniconfuse
How far are they willing to go fill their stomachs?
Juu clearly kila mcee kwa gava ako works
And they know exactly how this works
Another 25th of June and I still fill bad
For all the goods looted by goons
Hustler aliamuaje kuibia hustler mwenzake?
For once hatungetokea tu, us against the finance bill
With no ill motives?
Another 25th of June, ndo narealize June ni mwezi wa finance bill
So we will always be in conflict na gava
Will the chase and run ever end?
Ama we will always have to choose between letting the finance bill pass peacefully
Or pass forcefully while more of our soldiers fall in the street?
