Kenya @ Sixty

By Sikiladi

It’s reached the age of wisdom

Of staying in self-governance

Our country Kenya @ sixty

Shall grow up to be mighty

Sikiladi

A road paved to Jamhuri @ 60

That’s shaped Kenyans’ destiny

A trail marked by Mau Mau fighters

Their revolts to arrests and tortures

They brought forth the nation’s liberty

From the colonists uptight sovereignty

Sikiladi

Heroism of Mboya, Kimathi and many

Governed by Kenyatta, Moi & Kibaki

The country has survived sustainability

To the historic coup and political instability

Wamalwa, Saitoti, Uhuru, Odinga & Ruto

Stalwarts with ideas of governing capacity

Sikiladi

Winning laurels for Green Belt Movement pride

Mathai brought to Kenya -prestigious Nobel Prize

Celebrating the legacy of cultural abundance

Dedicating Utamaduni day in semblance

Caring for the environmental care and obligation

Having banned ‘single use plastic’ in the Nation

Sikiladi

Surviving ugly attacks of the terrorist nature

A united Kenya stood stronger at the world’s altar

Introducing the easy mobile money platform

Safaricom gifted the wananchi a flexi norm

Kofi Annan’s brokering of the peace deal

Over ruled the post-election political zeal

Sikiladi

The 44th tribe’s identification and recognition

Has given the Muindis a renewed integration

From Justice Aluoch to Martha Koome led

The feminine power in the law has bloomed

Ngugi’s writings, Leakey’s paleo anthropology

Ndereba’s sprinting, Mo Amin’s photography

Sikiladi

Jeff’s TV hosting and Lupita’s expertise at acting

Made Kenya proud and continues the talent gifting

Eliud’s Olympian marathon skills par excellence

Rudisha, Kosgei, Tergat, Jelimo’s running brilliance

Kenya @ 60 is only just growing up

The future shall be brighter in all
