Kenya My Religion

This is not just talk 
This is not just thought 
I really mean it 
I really Am  It
Kenyan 
You may not understand how Kenyan
Mimi mgenge mimi ni genge
Kenya is my religion
The altar to my being
The mother to my generations 
All father when I am in need 
But this does not mean 
That I am blind I do not see 
The doings without humanity 
Even when done in the name of my country 
When freedom carries no responsibility
And the criminal becomes justice 
When corruption is taxation 
And the Preachers are just hungry 
When serve and protect 
Becomes server  and  threaten 
When power is from the people
But  power is not for the people
When all the love is lost
When it is only done for  survival 
When  all humanity is gone 
When all kindness is Bought 
But as much I see 
I dare not speak 
And you dare not listen 
I can't speak because I fear the people 
I will speak only when I become a person
You will only listen when I become a person 
But still, Kenya is my Religion 
And You still may not understand how Kenyan
Kenyan I really am 
I really mean it 
This is not just thought
This is not just talk.
