Analysis of Seeing red!
GIDRAF MWANGI 1992 (Murang'a)
It is so grotesque to know
So humiliating to understand
Making me go berserk
My sane melting away
Someone prowling in my desk!
Sneaking into my personal diary!
Going through what is unsupposed!
Draining in the whole forbidden!
So foolish as to brag
More knowledge of my private life
That is so well noticed
That one has been unfaithful
I loathe such character
And having any chance
I can gun them down
With no drop of mercy
Oh! God forbid!
