In my dream,
The future leaders
Who had been prophesied about
Took over the mantle of leadership-
The steering wheel of our country.
The messiahs’ time had come
To eat drink and sleep
Not alone in their mansions
But in the villages and slums
With the people of the nation.
First things first they said:
Their salaries were reduced
Allowances were scrapped
All privileges abolished
And taxes were now paid!
Second things certainly followed:
Free quality education for all
No mercantilism in any hospital
Employment was now available
And fairer prices in every stall!
Things hitherto unprecedented
Gained normalcy in no time
Wanjiku was now happy
The barns and sheds were full
And so were the children.
