This is nothing personal
But we will make it our Business,
In the west, Obama hails from Kenya,
In Kenya, Kogalo is his home,
Jateros are his people(that’s what they claim)
Trying to stop one from seeing him is a century’s fight,
Forget about Mayweather and the other guy.
The most powerful man in the world will be landing,
Grass in Nairobi is coaxed to grow in hours, yet he won’t even notice it
All main roads and highways that Obama will ride over will be
Out of bounds for the common us
Even those close relatives from the lakeside will join us
As we stare on our screens eager to receive what he got us.
Lets not forget our ambitious brothers offering dowry
To the powerful daughters
Did we anticipate this? No way…
In my dreams, I saw the beast, the decoy beasts
Stuck in a jam, hapo Mombasa road,
That guy with a packet of sweets n the one with bananas
Fighting for that one window to get the dhow
Then I woke up to reality, the closest the common us;
Jateros and the rest of us will get close to him
Will be those much advertised set top boxes and our t.v
Karibu Kenya.
