Kenyans now and Kenyans always.

Kenyans now and always…

We need to know... 

The battles to fight… 

And the battles that are not ours

The issues to confront… 

And the issues to be lull about

The hopes to place on others… 

The hopes to never peg on human shoulders

The tears to cry in earnest lament… 

The tears to let go and stay calm

The joys to share with an attitude of care… 

And those to keep to self in humility

The achievements to celebrate… 

And those realised as our deserved rights

The failures to demand explanations on… 

And the failures to universally embrace

The unreality to seek to correct… 

And the realities to face head on

The beauty of our diversities to celebrate…

And the artistry of our uniqueness to espouse

The freedom to pursue wholeheartedly… 

And the ensnaring of freedom to shun

The true peace to preach everyday… 

The fake peace to dissuade anytime

The times to go down on our knees and pray… 

and the times to stay on our feet in licit resilience

The love to practice as a one people one nation… 

And the love to forgo for it enslaves us

The justice to demand from the laws… 

And the laws to submit to for justice

The untruth to resolutely resist… 

And the truth to be ready to suffer for

The people worth dying for… 

And the people not worth fighting for

The spirit that defines us as Kenyans… 

And the spirit that skews us as a nation

...these we need to live
