| If they came today; faces would crumple with agony Unstaunched wounds of wars would open fresh With memories of pledges and battles of deliverance The freedom fighters who sworn patriotism Tears would drip from eyes round with amazement Brothers fighting one another; what of loyalty Had the land not been fought for with enough blood Shed by unknown warriors now in unmarked graves They hoisted the flag of freedom; A colorful banner Red as of gusto blood; shed by unsung heroes Green as the lush nature rugged cloak; our Lands Black as Jade; for united people blessed with a skin White as of the snow on Mt Kenya; for Peace and Love Now sad echoes grappling every corner leave unknown pain Gnawing my entity; what happened to the togetherness Kenya the land of my birth bleeds with violence sobs Dirty fat hands straddling people with injustice, no nice Letting people die for their egocentric missions I rise from unnamed grave; with muffled voice To be a voice of the voiceless; From Kenya with Love If you are with me, take your place besides me And rejoice with a perspicuous heart Kenya our motherland; Let no Man evil against a kin Live in brotherhood; let peace upon Kenya « return. |
