Dark lyrics of our land.
Whenever I wake up every morning
Whenever I spend every hour of my day
Whenever morning unfolds
To the time darkness calls
It opens always
The box of entire memory
In it to the brim,
The memories of our land
A little glance to it's two corner
Into my sight appears him.
The nemesis of mine
The nemesis of river Kira,
The river of our forefathers.
The poison of our flash
The dimmer of our light
We're his best backfriends
I call him a beast
The best name a devoted man
From a cathedral can offer
Many a names can do
But the arrow will converge
At him ___
An hyena of our land
The unwanted arc in our drawings
The unnecessary comma
Of the old known flowing kira waters
That sends its growths to a coma
He caged the features of our futures
Like the orphaned chicks in the coop
His blessings takes after the coal
Wishes sower, like a carelessly
Homemade ghee
Bitter like the peeling waters of a lemon
He whispers dark heaven,
Remotes our branch to abyss
So long in depth like his heart
Full of silt of River Nyando.
So hot are his smiles
From the ever grinning lips of deception
Like the ever flowing magma of an active volcano.
__
He forced sweet challenges into our land
Spread the own curses to our beds
He eats our future like bedbugs and lice
Always prays in reds and black
Gowns his face like a village monk
But a cobweb is his heart
Crosses his hands while bowing
Like a pump-type pliers off use
A sign of compressed tomorrow,
Brighten darkness and dimmed lights.
Our day is a Sunday, Tomorrow is a Monday.
His eyes closed,
Our Monday, his target to bomb off
Oh! The golden bull, the wall against our Monday
The distorter of the river, The bearer of the pain
A day must day, The dream must stop
The end must ___
God for us all.
