When they promised better living standards, it this what they had in mind?

Matatizo ya kuchagua viongozi wajinga kama kina EL JK RA the Makambas, the Mwinyis, Mkapa et al.

 

[Mzee Mwanakijiji]

Voices never heard
Tears never seen
The sounds of misery
The sighs of anguish
Of the mothers, and children
Who weep for their beloved

Abandoned and forsaken
Despised and ridiculed
Chained, maimed and canned!
Tamed, lamed and damned!
shaking and trembling
falling and crawling
But not surrendering!

They are still standing!
Unafraid and unapologetic
Heads lifted, fists clinched
Voices raised, as their bodies lynched!

Our defenders
Our heroes
Our protectors
guardians
teachers
mothers
fathers

No need of persuasion
Of the gravity of the situation
the cessation, of the duration of this damnation!
It is the negation of the creation of this aberration!
It is the liberation of this nation
Indeed! it is this consolation we find for our nation
To defeat the corrupt political regime!

''...didn't I even contribute the fuel for his car?''
Now, this I find very interesting.
