Injustice
Malice police injustice
This is a career choice
Not a choice to be a criminal
A profession just normal
Like any other
Tell me if the police have power?
Over the residents of own motherland?
How will strangers be treated?
Tell me if the police trained to have a criminal eye?
Cook up cases for innocent passersbys
offence
Drunk and disorderly
Assaulted an officer
With no identity
A handcuff and a gun
pay or inside you stay
Such a shameful decay
In mY motherland today
Suffer youth of today
to court nothing you say
that is Kenya today
That is my motherland
My birthplace
My right
My home
Where is it?
Who robbed me of my freedom
In the Nation I so much tire to build
‘I find you guilty’ yet nothing you did
Why the greed
Yet I’m human and you too
Why are some with the head of a vulture and the body parts of a hyena
Why must you be most hungry
Then mwananchi must never be angry
pray Above that our soil receive a proper laundry
For blood has been shed
And the soil is rotting
Time is clocking
Change is knocking.
No more arrests for berets
No more brutality with impunity
No more guns.Just humans
Just us.just reason of purpose
Reforms and transformations
I have swallowed the bitter concoction
See no more in this condition
I will speak, speak whether weak
Maybe it has just been a bad week
Maybe there are better ones with hearts without hurt.
I stand to be I have got tales
Only if you have suffered this fate
If you are the master then this is case closed.
This Note is saved.
I have got tales to tell
Of heaven and hell
Of a city so sick
The blues so thick
And the law so weak
I’ve got tales to tell*3
Of heaven and hell
Heaven will win
Repent my sin
My whole is clean
I have got tales to tell*3
Of heaven and hell
I wake up this morning and look up to my Lord
Say Lord help me out get what can afford
I pray to my Lord
Father come on board
Sail with your son
Yes we can
Ive got tales to tell
Of heaven and hell
