Kenyan Elections-A Poem For Peace

                                       

A country holds on with breath that is bated,
For five long years a community has waited.

And of justice that had a lengthy wait.
But to give peace a chance it is never too late.

Here's to our very own piece of paradise,
Here's to a beautiful nation's imminent rise!
