LET US BE ONE.                                           

What comes to mind?

When Kenya is mentioned.

Safari?

City in the sun?

No.

That was way back when

Mzee was in power

Some decades later

Unity thrives

Thrived by thieves

Don’t ponder

Look in any media

Headlines of unity

Unity in tax hike

Unity in civil strikes

Unity in moral decay

Unity in corruption

Youths lets learn

Caution though

Sieve out the wrong.

STAND UP AFRICA.

Cradle of creation

Wow

How come Jesus

Is not African

Maybe he was

Did you know?

The Dark Continent

Yet we played a role

Slaves

We were behind

The scenes

The industrial

Revolution

Loading coal

Loading goods

House helps

The handy work

At our home

Are we computers?

Not artificially intelligent

Rather naturally intelligent

Please I appeal

Stand up to change.
