Dead Man Return Saying

My sons and daughters You sing no song of daylight For the sun is your enemy You sing instead of shadows and darkness And the memories of your midnight meetings Turning twists and turns of events Have rendered me sleepless In grave you laid me to rest Booms and bombs for lack of security Gives me no peace as you said in my burial day “Mzee in peace me” You have forgotten the meaning of the real state And masterminded the meaning of real estate The love for the nation that I left The flowers that beautified the nation I can’t really see them again. I love the way you promise my people Good health but the doctor are still on strikes Good education but the teachers are not paid Fine security but most of them still die My sons and daughters, what have you done after mzee? My people died in Mpeketoni My relatives died in Westgate My children died for having nothing in the plate (unga) My grandchildren died in Mandera Your brothers died in Garissa Oooooo my God, you deserve a whip Did I carry my whip, what a waste you have done to my people? I send you Baba Go go go go rescue my people Go whip out the corrupted culprits Go give my people employment Go give them food Go beautify the nation by considering the environment Go take them to Canaan, I send you
