Kenyan Historians
by Maina wa Kinyatti

Your silence after my arrest means
You have made an agreement with the dictator
You have betrayed those ideas our people
Cherish

One day
Our people will rise
And with anger and bitterness
Ask you
Where were you
When national independence was betrayed
When foreign military bases were built
In the country
When workers and peasants
Reduced to slavery
Their life clothed in poverty
Their homes flooded
With endless tears of oppression

You shall have nothing to tell them
Like a dead donkey
They shall drag you through the streets
Wilst they sing war songs

3 February 1987
Kamiti M.S. Prison
