Not Again Kenyans

 

The season is here, of political nuisance

Again they've come without substance

And we, foolishly, give them an audience

Clearly, we didn't learn from the last instance

They gave empty promises, we listened

Promises on previous promises we listened

The same monkeys have resurrected

With same old  lies, now well perfected

They have no shred of decency

How to get votes is their emergency

As they shrewdly court sycophancy

Even if it means tearing up democracy

It's astonishing how we always give them an audience

And allow them to insult our intelligence

Don't we have a little credence?

Are we slowly succumbing to cognitive dissonance?

We have become politically pathetic

Devoid of any substantive critic

All we do is social media gimmick

We have another perfect opportunity

 To put to test our and their integrity

We must check and recheck their credibility

We cannot afford another regime built on dishonesty

The time is now, for all of us to rise 

Declare and make a personal promise

 To end the perennial politics of demise

And embrace a new dawn of progress

To the youth, our tomorrow is now!

Each must make a solemn vow

That, to the old goons we won't bow

Because we need political power now

We must take charge of our present

Press for a seat in the government

And have a meaningful engagement
