Kibera

I live in the mud
there's a disease
in ma blood
my brother my sister
abandoned in Kibera

I live in the mud
dressed in clothes
an animal life
but dignity clings
to defiant eyes

I live in the mud
there were screams
there was blood
now memories of love
are hidden in fear

I live in the mud
we can not look back
yet tomorrow is dark
and death creeps about
you see I am scared
for I know
I will die in Kibera
