PATRIOTISM

When the dignity of giants
stay drowned
in the cacophonous rattle
of ethical dwarfs

to find our place in the sun
to dream and chase dreams
unhindered by the artificialities
of last names
and geographies
and genders

to be. simply
a people with a new-found
Kenyanity

to make out nationhood indivisible
to be consumed by all
in all
for all
