Nairobi Is Hot! 

By Sikiladi

Nairobi is hot! Nairobi is hot!

It is not the hotness that you think

No, not the hotness of being cool!

No, not the hotness that makes you drool !

The hotness birthed by our Karma chart

Oh! That leaves us looking merely as fools

Look at our forests breathing in agony 

Their miseries woven in trade spools

The felling and remodeling of the woods

Ravages marking our poor thought schools

And! We complain and grumble as our tools

Blaring out a loud cry that Nairobi is hot! 

Wangari’s efforts succeeded yet failed

Karura cries appearing naked and spaced

Yet we party hard amidst air conditioned care

That oozes more heat and causes much despair

We plant trees to claim the numbers & figures

With thoughtless culture of their nurture

Their survival rate failing in our atmosphere

Erosions, Ozone zones mark our troposphere

And! We fret and fume that Nairobi is hot!
