Poem
Pity my city I pity my city there is no dignity in this city There is no justice no freedom Street children in a locked hall, shocking County council overworking The city must be clean so some humans are garbage Some are cabbage, the garbage pay the damage No houses sleep on spillage But there are human rights There are human right activists There is the department of justice All filled with malice Pockets practice Gross malpractice Injustice, silence You are in court Guilty of court contempt Another charge The bail or the sentence I’m bailed out in silence Next time just bring your presence Retain your silence I was told You will be safe. My phone is gone, my shirt is torn No bus fare so I walk alone I think a lot, go back home or not I remember I am a poet I write a poem, a paradox Pain in the city I pity my city there is no dignity in my city. Never what I came for Likewise not what I prepared for To be robbed by those I voted for I am not happy anymore My city is no more I don’t wish for more I just want go not the city I know. not where I wanted to grow cartels make us bow Now, now, now, it is time. Time to know I am grown And carry always my identity card The men in blue are out bad And always never forget also to carry ‘kitambulisho ya polisi’ Hawa watu ni mabeast na mafisi, human hyenas time to tie up my seat belt whenever in a matatu, sina mia tano ya kulipa coti kila saa na sitaki kulala ndani siku tatu two days I am locked up inside my own head spinning spinning, my thoughts are dead the life so far I have led no step has been made no journey finished No house furnished Time is running and broke is sickening My heart is listening, my brain is calculating I have to act quick, just do something The weather so good for chilling, but bad for singles Life is unfair No dream has been real No love to heal No feel No deal Just the bill More and more bills The city is fattening Wanjiku is sickening From Nys to health to Tunnels It is all on the channels How they on the seat eat Meat The citizen kitty is gone The city is torn Get the president on the phone Call the press, what must be done be done Impunity will not rule this city Dignity must be restored This city no more a pity Bring back the citizen kitty Say no more The city.
