The city council *Askari
He carried me so harshly
I was found chewing lightly
I spat it out “Oh! Askari”
Nairobi is not a city
It’s a rather a prison
Kenya changed the scarcity
Fully packed each season!
Policeman, Mister, Sir
City council officer
This rule you have put up
Now has me handcuffed!
*Askari – Swahili word for police
