Dear country people

Please listen 

Just lend me your ears for a second

I got a message to pass

A lesson from our past

Take your time

Read between the lines

Some key points we are about to highlight

Take a note please write them down


NOISEMAKER


Politicians have turned us into objects

Objects for their income

They are still earning but we are really losing 

I hate it how they do it but I just can't stop them 

Coz am just a person and they are the people

I get a headache when I keep thinking of a solution but I just can't do it on my own we need to hold arms as a nation


PAINKILLER


The promises are all vanity

No face of one Kenya but ethnicity

We are insecure 

They turn to be terrorists to our economy

Woman and youth empowerment

Once were slogan they used to lobby votes

Affordable healthcare and housing

Now are dreams of the past


NOISEMAKER


We live to fantasize 

Nothing promised comes to pass 

We only live with empty stomachs

While their stomachs are inc in size day in day out

We are suffering while they are living fantastico lives

We are becoming poorer day in day out while they are enriching themselves out with what belongs to us

I really wonder where we are heading

Our nation is turning to be hell like


PAINKILLER


The nation is bleeding

Yet none of them cares

They promise equality 

But now achievement turns to impunity

Free secondary and primary education

Now fee increment is all we witness

Tight security was their top priority

Day in day out all increases is injustice cases

Yearly employment too all

Now unemployed are the city criminals

Indeed we need a change


NOISEMAKER


Fuel prices are raising day in day out

Prices of foods has gained instability

People are starving due to its high prices

We cry day in day out but nothing comes our way

No one responds to our cries even if they hear

I hate how they take it

But I have no way to stop them

All I can do is watch

Watch their acts and learn how to live with it

Even though it hurts,,,

Acha Nizoee


PAINKILLER


We are detained with poverty

Oops! No, I don't know if corruption is their Identity?

Some say cartels are full in the city

 Yet they don't want to call them by Identity

And corruption might not be criminality

Since they are arranged in courts 

But they're Scott free

Now I come to accept the say

"Kuna wenye nchi na mwananchi"

But am sorry to talk about reality
