Mzungu Arudi Ulaya Mwafrika Apate Uhuru
So kama uko na time next time make every letter kwa MAU MAU make sense.
Nafeel nafaa kuadress the nation point of refference ikiwa book the late Jaramogi alipublish
“NOT YET UHURU”
Slogan ilikua ya liberation but years later the black boy is not yet set free
Naskia ati celebrating 60 years of independence
Wait a minute before tuimbe anthem mkipandisha flag kubali tuketi cause tumechoka.
Generation after generation kitu inapitishwa succesfully ni kilio na shida
Ndio maana months ago gen-Z waliamua kudrain the river of tears that has been flowing
Kwanza a moment of silence to all heroes we lost during the process.
Nakumbuka tulishout we are peaceful but they still forced a bullet through one of us
Nakumbuka authorities zilikua notified about protest na day tulitokea kwa streets
They forced us out of the steets , si teargas si water canons
Live bullets zilikua kama “makali”
Police wakaamua kuchase live bullets na rubber bullets
It was the only chance police walikua nayo kudisplay varriety of guns the accurate one being a sniper
60 years of self rule na every thing is Messy
The police remain to be GOATED juu consistency in brutality ndio aim
Serikali inashindwa kusupply maji ukambani
But kwa maandamano their well never runs dry
Ambieni watu wa north eastern Nairobi kuna maji coloured
Iteni yule mama kwa boma yake anapika na kuni
Mwambieni afike central police kuna gass excess akitaka anaeza pata flavoured
Tuendelee ama tusiendelee…….ata mkinipea jibu I know youll be setting a trap
Juu freedom of speech ilikua tu iongeze lines kwa katiba
Na maybe nikiendelea next time ni kwa runinga mtaona headlines “another body found in a quary”
Na walionimaliza watakuwa wakwanza kupush #ripmsanii if not #justicerforthepoet
Juu the reality ni hakuna uhuru wa mshahiri
