Raila and Ruto
on the political wresting ring
flagged by bastardized political tunes
it’s Railamania
no, it’s Ruto megalomania
Raila and Martha Karua on the floor
dancing to tribal tunes
mugithi and nyatiti, flagged by
Kalonzo’s recycled ambition, played
on the schizophrenic instrument
as Wajakowah smokes bangi
breathing clouds of political smoke
as the Wamalwa bull bellows fire
because political cows are on heat
to expel Ruto from State House
pilot Kioni has engaged landings gears
from Mount Kenya to Nairobi
to land in the State House
Ruto made grave mistakes
by awakening Kenyatta sleeping dogs
the House of Mumbi must fight
the House of Kalenjin
as Kachagua eats big dividends
from political shareholdings
listen to political mandarins
political malingering
political manipulation
political masquerading
as Ruto bastardizes constitution
in the game of who eats who
Ruto, sits so hard on the server lid
but the bottom is burning
this round for the kill
as the cost of ugali rises
mass action is going for no less
than burning Ruto’s bottom
as political castration campaign
go on rampage pleading uhuru
to unleash Kenyatta dogs
for historic fight
as the nation eats grass
and drinks urine for water
mass action must Ruto’s bottom
the swerve must open
Ruto & Kachagua must go
the nation is burning
Ruto’s bottom is burning
the nation smokes political opium
of desperation
how many will die this time
sacrificed
to the political slaughter house?
