KENYA

Pressure has us thinking 
Why is our vessel sinking?
Is it an inevitable season?
Is it someone’s treason?
Is it some failed alchemy?
Is it our collective blasphemy?

For we cannot normalize malady 
These aches and pains need remedy
Either new minds or new thoughts 
Before we approach the casting of lots 
For a few have raided the many
Shrinking the worth of the penny

As we all suffer the same
One with no shame
Dares us with the old game
Of fanning that divisive flame
“They resent your reigning kin”
And other gimmicks often seen

Look at your child
Before you are beguiled 
Weigh and feel your frame
Before their power and fame
Clouds you with its imposing presence 
While edging out your own essence 

Take back the trust you put in men
Let there be no other day when
God shall be edged out by a mere mortal 
But we shall wholly and in total 
Be given to Him in all our ways 
And that shall be our only ace
