USQUOTA
Haloo…apo ni China embassy,
Naomba muwekee willy news aone vile uku home tunafanyiwa
maybe anaeza rudi atuokoe
The whole country inatiririkwa na machozi,
whith our recent stream ikiwa vilio za watu wa Athi
Ukiuliza mbona tunabomolewa utaambiwa ni kweli mlijenga lakini simiti mlitumia ni ya Bamburi
Yet shamba ilikua ya Portland cement,
Tell me hizi familia zinafaa kuenda wapi yet project ya affordable housing haijakamilika,
Just to ask, nani anafuel hizo buldozas
Tell me, nani alitoa amri askari wakuwe deployed Athi
Itakuaje serikali iko na mkono mrefu but haiwezi fika kusaidia wananchi
Or nani amecondem the act of inhumanity
Baba nanii anashikilia tittle deed lakini haamini,
Haamini ni ofisa kutoka ofisi ya land ndio alikuja kupima his parcel of land
But years later what he built out of his sweat miaka hizo zote
Inakua brought down in a single day.
So it happened call yangu iliingia kwa voice mail but willy alirudi,
So hata kabla hatujasettle stori na land ya Athi, naskia watu Embakasi wanalia,
Sijui mbona serikali inatuhangaisha, naskia tulipewa option ya kubuy izo mashamba ama tutoke,
But talking of mashamba waligrab miaka ya sitini ili waomoke is where they draw the line
Sai naskia estate ya mzee nanii na Arap so sssand so is yet to be decided kama zitakua subjected kulipa ushuru
So ironical, viongozi kujadili mali ya matajiri yet common mwananchi anapigwa na baridi akifuatilia proceedings za kesi ya shamba walifikisha kwa korti
So wasipewe sitting allowance tu but wapelekewe vitanda wazidi kulala ndani ya bunge juu wameshindwa kutetea wananchi.
