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.
