Life tunazaliwa na tunakuzwa,
No one chooses where to be born or
Maparo wa wakukuwa bear,
No one chooses place or village to be born,
But being born at any circumstances,
Is the Will of God,
Huwa tunajikuta in families and villages,
Sometimes Huwa tunajilaumu,
Wondering if God was just or fair,
If reborn was the case of lifetime,
Many would have asked God,
To make them be born in prominent cities,
Parent and in rich families,
Without deep understanding ‘why?’
Life of lowliness,
We dwell,
Where tunakula kwa kuamini,
Na kustruggle kuget something to place
On the table or support ourselves,
At times Huwa ni kama kupanda melting glacial mountain,
Thou tunastruggle hard,
Bado tunastruggle kupeleka wasiojua njaa ni nini kwa Food stores zetu,
In the name of Our Representatives,
Wasiojua kustruggle ni nini,
Kuwa leader wetu wa kustruggle na kuhustle,
Imagine,
We accept Kshs. 50-100 as a bribe of 5 years during campaigns,
We take the opportunists to leadership,
Without checking and analysing,
How much we have been bribed a day for 5 years of their rugged leadership,
Imagine one year has 365 days,
So 5×365 days=1825days
Then tumepewa 100 bob,
In a day, we’re bribed with less than Kshs. 1
Then tunajiona we’re safe,
Wanakam wakijifanya wana-understand problems zetu,
Na that wako ready kutuhelp,
Because Elections zimefika,
Wakihelp a shosh or widow kwa village,
Itakuwa
‘Main and trending news kwa medias’
Kushow that amehelp na ako kind
They do hayo yote na dooh zenye
Waliziiba from CDF na different scandals,
Wanaiba dooh za Health
Then wanatuambia wanatry hard kuimprove health care mashinani.
Jobs ngapi wameconnect na wame-order for their families, relatives and tribes?
How many degree holders wako jobless despite walipita?
Na how many illiterates wamekalia offices?
Degree holders wanahustle kwa vibanda na bodaboda,
Na bado tunaambiwa tuji-self employ,
Yet wao wameshindwa hata kuji-self employ
Tunaambiwa ‘Education is Light or Key’
Kwani Light za watu wengine huzimika after education?
Kwani padlocks za watu wengine Huwa hazifunguliwi na Key:ATI education
Tutaonaje light of our education,
Tukiwacontrolled by greedy leaders?
Mjane masikini,
Anafungwa ju ya kuiba food kupea hungry child,
Na politician anaachiliwa juu ya kuiba mabillion coz ametoa fine ya 50 thousand,
Yeah, I see Kenyan justice!!
Though Youths tuko wengi,
Na tuko na numbers and knowledge,
But still hatuna insight of change,
Because hatutaki kuchange,coz tuko comfortable na current colonial period of leadership,
Youths tushazeeka in thoughts,
Hadi we can’t see what’s right and wrong
Finally,
We’re a solution to every current situation kwa life yetu,
Life ni hard but tireless struggle,
Ndio humake difference,
We gat a role to be a solution,
In our families and generation,
Create a palace where was said to be poor,
Coz our mind detect royalism in poverty,
Power of being a different.
