Their Time Had Come Poem by kelvin karani

Their Time Had Come



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.
