TEARS OF BLOOD IN KENYA

God!

Let your eyes descend the stairs of heaven

Into this horror turned Africa

Whose boarders have developed teeth

Teeth which chews beings in full

In the name of rebellion

II

Lord God!

Shed mercy in the direction of the innocent

And cage the lions to chew themselves to extinction

To free Africa whose trees are stunted

Because of the teeth of these lions in rebellion

Who can sleep when its boarder is on fire?

III

God of justice!

If you are fearful and just

And feels for your creation

Take the creations gone bad

Because it is hard! How can terror run amok

In deeds of un-creators?

IV

Agya Nyankopong!

Please rise! For blood to pour, reasons must follow!

Okokroko eeeeee!

Rise, blood have developed loud mouths

Loud mouths only used for weeping

Weeping tears of blood! Blood weeping blood?

V

Baba! Oluwa!

Let your axe of protection loose

So hearts of deviants would be bombed with humanity

Let terrorists be arrested by guilt of reasoning

Let frighteners be paralysed by thoughts of harm

And like a strong eagle, protect the weak with your wings

VI

“Agya Nyame!

Onyame a obi ndi w’anim ndi w’akyi!

Sani bɛhwɛ womma!

Yi abↄdamsɛm firi tirimusum biara mu

Ka awudifo maaa ne pia, gyan ne tuo nyinaa shɛ

Na ma yɛn asomdwoe, na Abibiman rebrɛ!”
