Kennedy Muitherero Poet Rhyme

REJECT

Reject

If you today set your sails
The boisterous currents called “reject”
Blowing from the people’s anger and wails
Wallowing in usury and neglect 
Betrayed trust and hopes facing fails 
Innocent of cause but guilty of effect 
Will blow you where the desire hails
To making finding reprieve the project 

There’s insatiable appetite to take
But there’s a limit to the give
We baked this national cake
And of its partaking we were positive 
As it cooked you pinched stake by stake
Asking for more and making believe 
That in the cooking fire’s wake
It shrunk and so less we achieved 

You want our money and patience 
Try telling it to the pangs of the nation 
You quench the last drop of our resilience 
And only a pushback will you occasion 
You make hard any honour or obedience 
And make many transgress even religion 
You rob Godliness of prominence 
From whom you got your ordination 

If God in heaven sets up the earth 
And all that inhabit 
To turn on His foes His wrath
Will you be exempt from it?
Is righteousness the name of your path?
Is God’s Word the lamp of your feet 
For your countrymen just can’t math the math
And so they address you from the street 

Change your way while you can 
Serve them today, they’ll serve you forever 
Humble pie never choked a man
They only ask you don’t stifle endeavor 
You kill them, you kill your plan 
And the doom threatens to be forever 
When you are banished by your own clan 
Signing out a man who fell out of favor
