At Ease; Not At Ease Poem by Mutonye wa Mutuku - B.M the Poet

A laughter welcomes the dawn,
A wail is heard from the streets of the town,
Why are some people at ease?
While others not at ease?

Why are there armed police in the streets?
And security check up on the tweets?
Some say 'tis because of issues of security,
Others say the police have come to test their ability.

"We are a country of peace,
Everyone should be at ease,
We cant be teared a piece",
They say.

But...

Why are the wails growing louder?
The town smelling danger?
The police running faster?
And smoke rising higher?

Why are the hospitals full of maimed people?
Confused children in the streets, we cant see their dibble,
Why are some people under tension?
While others are building the nation.

The town is in confusion,
Let you find the solution,
Before the ones at ease,
Join the pack of the not at ease.
