CRY FOR OUR BELOVED KENYA.
Related to country: Kenya

Translations available in: English (original) | French | Spanish | Italian | German | Portuguese | Swedish | Russian | Dutch | Arabic


As mountains gleam in lush green dawn.
Under bronze Sunshine; listen to rivers flow.
Your name embroiled in a peaceful lawn.
My crumbling faith recovers; from fit blows.
Words tumble in cold prints of memory drawn.
Recording your fame; language of twisted dream.

Kenya ! The humblest pride of Dark Continent .
Who thou art bestowing on us; Our Motherland.
Remember when we marveled at thou calmness.
And danced to nature’s music of calm souls.
Quivering in one rhythm; dancing with our hearts.
And joined hands; brows sweating brown.
Bending as bow; in a willful toil.

Today venturing into now impersonal cities.
Mothers wails; lamenting destroyed creation.
Among debris children’s sobs; lost and orphaned.
Lots of youths turning lost youths; it’s painful.
Brothers hunting other selves; strikes and leave to die.
Clenching wet brown soil; yet sworn forgiveness.


What happened then? That we fight our blood.
Blinded as bat; galloping like wild horses.
Stomping on innocent backs; betting on lives.
Irked with heart refusal, I seek harmony from Above.
Lord! We need you now more than ever.

When Love goes out of gears,
I’m urged to cry on bend- ed knees.
Where on thou Mountains is our Citadel?
What clock shall register our walled patience?
Or which caroling dawn will ripen our hopes.

Like birds hoisting for freedom,
I fly out on vast blueness; chirping music of peace.
Afar beyond skyline; preaching unity and harmony.
In a joy of a dawning new start; reconciliation.
And contemplate on a lone commandment.
“Thou shall Love your Neighbors as Yourself.”

May Peace Reign in My Beloved Country Kenya .

Heartbreak
Jambo, dave - I am very moved by your poetry and hope it acquires a big audience. The pain caused by the killing and rioting in Kenya is obvious in the lines of your poetry. It is heartbreaking to see your beautiful country in such trouble and I pray for peace and harmony for you. Thank you for your sane and creative voice.

Best regards, Diane
