Physical assault on the lifeless head
On the young man face down on the ground
He lay where he fell in a pool of blood
He was beaten for opposing the MP’s salary increment
He was tired of hard life
He had nothing to do but to protest against it
Then Kenyan law enforcers react foolishly
The police poured teargas
There was no fresh air to breath
The officers became partisans to the greedy MP’s
Shot through the air and locked some in police cells
These MP’s promised to fight for peoples better living standard
But now after the people elected them
There is too much blood in the streets
This is immoderate Kenya of too much for MP’s and too little for the ordinary
The ordinary work with no salary increment for years
But they don’t complain just take a nap at recreational parks with empty stomachs
This they owe to electing some greedy MP’s
Very far from the dogmas of revolution
