Save Kenya...

What was once a beautiful country, flourished with greenery,
Now sees a colour change, flooded with bloodshed
What has happened to its people, why do they not settle down and agree?
The consequences following elections are indeed very sad.

The peace, the tranquil where has it all vanished?
Are these the days the citizens worked hard for ?
The prices shooting up with people dying famished
Stop the violence please, its impossible to stand anymore.

Innocence at stake, a child walking on the street,
The next instant a mother holds him in her arms crying
One can't imagine what the child must have done to get such a treat,
He never had the chance to utter last words to his mum while dying...

I say, about time people got back to sanity
What is all the violence making them achieve?
Is their target merely progressive enmity?
Between families and tribes and cause everyone to greive?

The people for whom they fight, will not return the losses caused
Do they not understand what a waste their actions are?
Who will answer every question that is being paused?
Do they even have any answers, with thoughts so bizarre.

My only prayer, on this very day in February,
Is for Understanding between Kenyans and for most desired Unity,
Let us make this prayer of mine a fulfilled one and get every Kenyan to agree
And raise our flag sky high, singing our national anthem with sincerity.
