I Have a Poem by Walter Keyombe (Nairobi, Kenya)
[Excerpt]
I have a poem for peace to the world
A poem that’ll spread the message with its fires
***
A poem that’ll sail on the oceans, seas
And lakes.
A poem that’ll transform many faces from sadness
To joy in the season of revolt
A poem that’ll fly above the moons, stars
And suns.
***
I have a poem for peace to the world
A poem that’ll never accept dictatorships
But democracy to embrace integrity and equality
A poem that’ll victoriously shine in the midst
Of darkness to steer the world for light
A poem that’ll challenge the axis of conflicts, hunger
And war.
***
I have a poem for peace to the world
A poem that’ll fight for my rights, your destiny
Against poverty and violence
A poem that’ll take its paths on the clouds
Of machinations with tribalism
To bring back reconciliation within the dust
Of bloodshed of massacre
A poem that’ll call for the struggle
Against the tyrants holding the oppressions
And discrimination towards culture
A poem that’ll condemn child trafficking, slavery
And child soldiers.
I have a poem for peace to the world
A poem that’ll curse child labor,
And early marriage on the rise
A poem that’ll condemn and break all arms, bullets
And bombs to justice that prevails
A poem with the vision to the mission
Against inhumanity, IMPUNITY
And injustice.
Yes!
I have a poem for peace to the world
A poem!
Like Martin Luther King had
A Dream.
