Hypocrite
by Revolutionary Patriot
forget it!
even if it were true
you fought for uhuru
even if it is a fact
that you were part of the Land and Freedom Army
whatever you said and did
against british colonialism
if today you are a traitor
if at this time you are a puppet of imperialism
if now you are an exploiter
if you are a land and plot grabber
if you support the oppressive system
if you claim there is freedom in Kenya today
truly truly I say unto you
you are not a peoples hero
stop thinking you are anywhere near a patriot
because your greed
the lust for money and wealth
your hypocrisy and opportunism
has rubbed your clean history of yesterday
really, you cannot cheat us you won't fool us
you may talk but we will not listen to you
at the present history of our country
you are not the friend of the struggle for national liberation
today you have become an enemy
you hinder the development of our country
for you have accepted
to be a dog of neo-colonialism
as you talk the language of oppressors
because today you are a hyena and a pig
now you are like a tick and bedbug
for you are a big prostitute these days
a true hero of the masses
a really patriot
travels up to the end of the journey
and the journey of our struggle is still there
it is not yet over our safari of freedom and development
for neo-colonialism remains in our country
the kanu dictatorship oppresses the majority of citizens
although there is a flag fluttering
freedom itself is not here
so you were struggling for your own stomach!
ahh your aim was to take the place of the colonialist!
we rebelled against the humiliation
of being oppressed by the British
do you imagine we will embrace
the shame of being dominated by fellow Africans?
you devil of a person!
traitor hiding in the noble name of Mau Mau!
hypocrite!
