Disregarded Heroes
He was growing old and senile and his hair began to fall, And he perched on a stool to tell accounts of the past, Of how he’d fought for his country and of his manifold valiant deeds, Speaking of patriotic comrades who’d long returned to dust. His neighbors sometimes thought that his stories were a joke But elders who had understanding of the past Knew his honesty and the truthfulness with which he spoke; But we don’t hear his tales today for the old Musyoka passed way. Not many mourned him, perhaps only his children and wife, For he led an ordinary uneventful lifestyle; He had a part-time job and a family, calmly heading his way; The world did not know when death took his nationalistic smile. When thievish politicians die of eating too much Their sinful corpses honorably lie in state While spoon-fed sycophants give crammed eulogies, But a freedom soldier quietly succumbs to his unfortunate fate. It seems the greatest contribution to the wellbeing of our republic Is to lie to the people and severally break your unfeasible promises, But the patriotic soldier who lays down his life for the country, Goes unnoticed to his grave without the minutest of praises. The earnings of a politician are more than their service, But a patriotic soldier gives up his life to protect his countrymen, Yet his pension is small and old age and disease the only rewards, And an ordinary death awaits him at three score and ten. It is easy to forget old Musyokas for they live no more, Even disregard that such heroes ever went to the battlefield, But I hear heart-rending cries from forgotten graves yonder, Where old Musyokas and their devoted mates restlessly lie. They cry, “sons and daughters, we died like common folks, Yet we are the reason why you enjoy the peace you have, We lost our arms and legs and most of us died cheap as a fox; Will you deny us a simple and costless thing such as honor?” I loathe hearing the fallen old Musyoka and mates haunt me so But I’m not the commander-in-chief of the land, Nor am I some legislator in the August House, I can’t honor a fly, but old Musyoka won’t understand.
