Death of hope!
GIDRAF MWANGI 1992 (Murang'a)
Dirges ring in my ears
They are full of horrible incarnations
Demonic laughter in the air rings
The odor of failure in the air reeks
My mind gets entrapped in desolation
Flurry of blurred futures are born
Feeling so depressed and lone
How could this happen to me!
The thought ricochets in me
Howling and bounding as I brace
That it is all scripted by fate
Naught out of fifty marks
Leaves an indelible scar of distress
Noting that others got more marks
Leaves me fatigued Oh! The fateful gods!
Why do I always have to mourn
Everyday into sorrow drown
Why can’t I have a change not vain
Excellently performing and my life to be fine
