We Are One

“Same color of blood flows through our veins:
Opiyo, Wanaina, Kibet, Patel…
Our red tells it all!
We are one
Regardless of who promises to lead
Or from what grass roots we crop from,
You and I are one,
You are me!

Red is the love that has been flowing through our veins
I pray that’s the only red that will be in plenty within our borders.
I pray that the only black will be
The night that’ll cover us in comfort and not hate
Ready to spew madness.

I pray you and I,
Will choose peace over power
Respect over raising a hand in violence.
I pray that we will be a one nation,
Dwelling in peace and liberty.

May you and I be one team
For there is no ‘I’ in team.
May God be beside, infront and behind us
As we take a step as one nation
With no I’ll notions.”
