Welcome In This Society

WELCOME TO THIS SOCIETY
Welcome to this society where the feces is more than the toilets 
Welcome to this society where the bribes are more rampant in the church than in the street
Where security is GOOD around the politician than to the citizens
Where water is more at the sewage than in our homestead
Welcome to this society where mothers are the head of the families 
As fathers follows after the children

Welcome to this society
Where the killings in the churches is more than in the city centers
Where mothers are called fathers and fathers called mothers 
Welcome to this society
Where those who do right things are guilty
As those who do wrong are innocent

Welcome to this society 
Where innocent  people are more in jail
As the rich criminal are free
Welcome to this society
Where the rich have only two children
As the poor have more than ten children

Welcome to this society
Where politician promise us good health but they 
Aim at selling as mosquito nets 
Welcome to this society 
Where deciding where to print the ballot papers is 
The big issues in the country
Welcome to this society
Where getting an A in examination is not a big deal
Where the rich people drink bottled water
As poor people drink water from the sewage 

Welcome to this society 
Where the armed forces thinks that police men are just but watchmen
Welcome to this society where promises are more than what they does
Welcome to this society where Jacob Juma dies 
But no concrete reason is given out
Where George Saitoti dies but everybody claims to have no hand in it
Where Nkaiserry can just die without notice 
Where people pollute environment and nobody claims to have eaten Githeri

Welcome to this society
Where HIV/AIDS is not an issues but pregnancy is a country’s debate 
Welcome to this society
Where the citizen sells their votes for only shillings 
Where kariuki kills wafula as wekesa kills Njoki
Where otieno kills Mwende as kosgei kills Maina 

Welcome to this society where insecurity is our daily bread 
Where bombs are the drugs we are addicted to
Where the people don’t know the neighbors name
I love you my society and I hope things will change one day
As time is a master healer

Let us PRAY to fade this paradox
Paradox kills our society
Lets fight against corruption 
Lets fight against expatriates’ 
Lets fight against bad governance 
Since God gives a leaders  but we choose 
Let there be no blood shade  and keep in mind 
Stupid man soils his house in fire only with aim to kill a rat

This is POWERFUL stuff!! Deserves far more exposure. Gritty writing, Merson; sometimes a soul just has to say it exactly as it is...it would be a betrayal to do any otherwise. My best regards! :) john
