The dust settles

Kenya changes forever Not in transition but out of pressure Built and passed on through the bloodline Until it sufficed to stiffen a generation’s spine The gloaters are deflated of their dares And will never again conceal the affairs For they tried on us the bait and hook But now all shall be an open book But we must endeavor to be civil Keep our tongues and hands from evil No rage warrants taunting your elder No reason rhymes with ousting order Pay your honor to whom it is due And in days to come it will be paid you Strive to sidestep curse and to clinch blessing In light of all offense most hard pressing The passage of time will usher you out of youth Bear with you always righteousness and truth Guard your hearts with all diligence Choose your demeanor without negligence Be honest and clear cut And let not the land revert to the rut Place not aside your God in your fights For it is He who crowns with privilege your rights K.
