Time For 'Enough'

Are we not tired yet? When will we feel it is time? Time to put our feet firmly on the ground Call ‘enough’ boldly by its name See - We stand proud under the sun’s daring heat Unmoved by the rain’s beating- Like sheep we follow convoys of our shepherds 90% of all that time- ‘Voices with echoes of complains and blames is all we perceive – Thrown from this camp to another Not solutions backed by actions And all we do is acclaim by cheers and standing ovations To statements that represent anything but unity Anything but development utterances Are we not tired yet? When will we feel it is time? Time to put our feet firmly on the ground Call ‘enough’ boldly by its name See – We don’t need the opposition or the official For disunity but not unity are the results many a times We don’t need one keeping check on the other Rather see one and all coming together To not only talk the talk And not only walk the walk But to talk and walk the talk and walk hand in hand For the common good Are we not tired yet? When will we feel it is time? Time to put our feet firmly on the ground Call ‘enough’ boldly by its name See – We don’t need taking sides But standing side by side For the times we’ve done so, a bitter pill it’s been North, south, east, west- The centre is where we all are Our tribes, our religions and cultures are the genes- That give birth to us Kenya It is time to put our feet firmly on the ground Call ‘enough’ boldly by its name Our situation can be a win-win For our country is much bigger than our bruised egos And deserving more than the verbal insults we like to share Or the physical beatings we’ve turned on each other Let our fight be for each other and not against each other Our leadership ‘now’ be emulation for better regimes in future Leaders we need you undivided- Fellow 'wenyenchi', we need us undivided For a people that are divided are a struggling lot And we’ve been a testimony to this gospel It is time for enough.
