For the people

A message from the people to the people
a message meant for the world about the people
about the battles and struggle against poverty
against racism and the need for equality

this is a message for the people to bring hope
a message thought so much yet not its fruits far sought
a message for the thousands of muffled thoughts and voices thought lost
a message wide spread with the strifling yet 25 to life is the ghetto youth's daily bread's toast

where the people's choice eats back like pigs
where the street child grows to search in the bins
where the hard life takes away the joy in a grandmother's eyes
where the country is faced with financial crisis yet the government keeps piling up the lies

is this what we really turned to?
Putting money ahead of the poor man's daily food
when machinery that gives abundant has left us in want
and greed has poisoned men's soul to silence those who speak the people's part

yet the same story goes on every single day
of the advancements that will come forth April or May
or maybe the jobs that were promised during the election days
or maybe the 100 million renovation house while Kenyans die from hunger every passing day

i am upset, upset with the whole system
my inability to help hurts more when i see them dicing their dirty game
gambling lives for leisure, aspiring pleasure for their own gain
when the law is to provide security and protection, yet their corruption seems to be gunning down their own citizens

is this the life we really want?
Think for yourself, its time we make change
