Corruption

I too sing corruption I waited on the bench was told no work reason (mkono mtupu) yes had no long relative I sat next to the conductor comes an officer wringing their hands red-pinkish 100 shilling note (afande chai) but the vehicle overloaded I went job-searching but my less qualified counterpart had it sexual favors I tell you My certificates useless I now clean the streets In the bureaucrat I see my tax I see embezzled funds several investigations with no results The country is mired into corruption Who will emancipate us??? strong vespers we need. I really yearn for the times when fairness will thrive when we will sing a dirge to corruption.

Very true ... your and mine yearning will be fruitless ... no emancipator ... in this hell itself you and I have to struggle and survive ...
