Magical Kenya's Peace

Painfully  the  heart  beats the  chest, 
Ember  of  lineal  segregation  will  come  out, 
And  the  ripping  blaze of fire  will  engulf, 
Communal  harmony  consummating  peaceful  coexistence  gulf, 
Executing  ethnicity,  caste, creed  and  religion  smithereens. 

Patriot’s  spirit  yields  serene  backdrops, 
Everyone  permanently  scribbling  down the  tales, 
And  if  we  don’t  improve  the  stories, 
Coming generations will  be  forced  to  clean up our mess, 
Ending  up  in  the  question  “what is  peace?” 

Peace  is  simply forgiveness, 
End  of  hate,  war  or  violence, 
Abstinence  of  using  violence  to  show  our  emotions, 
Calming  silence, 
Endeavor to  have  unity  in  diversity. 

Portrayal  of  Kenya’s flag  is  peace, 
Entailing  every  magic  spell  of  her  climate,  history  and  culture, 
Appraised  by  her  quick succession  of seasons, 
Culminated  by  the  gentle  sun  and  benign  rain  that softens  the  mind, 
Endorsing  peace  naturally. 



Wishing a peaceful 2017 General Elections in Kenya.
