Suprise Poem by joseph malinda kimeu

one evening a group of gangsters came to our compound
in my surprise nobody produced even a sound
firstly, we welcomed them to the feast
but later changed to beasts
thinking it was just a joke
we had already put our heads in a yoke
robbed and killed many people making me curse the day I was born
but the fact was just to mourn
on their way back
a poster stood near the pack
to their surprise it read
goodbye and welcome again
