Kimani wa Mbogo (2nd February)
Torture
Days and nights swiftly pass
Leaving me anticipating an outcome of curse
Reckoning, seems like just yesterday
What exactly happened makes me say
Acts of torture and abuse of human rights
Determined as I was to have good fights.
Demonstrating for rights was a matter of fact
But resulted up in a dreadful act
Things come and eventually go completely
This has never been forgotten, unfortunately
I never thought of what would happen
Because I had nothing to hearken.
