mother drags her bony mass <br />the winds of uncertainty <br />buffeting her from all sides. <br />above her the ominous cloud <br />of death planning to rain. <br /> <br />the hyenas and the vultures <br />are eying mother's children <br />who are busy tearing each other <br />in lieu of their common enemies; <br />ignorance, disease and politicians! <br /> <br />oh! mother Kenya <br />are your afflictions predestined <br />or the evil handiwork of a few <br />hyenas and vultures?<br /><br />kelvin karani<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/mother-kenya/
