Despicable


When the royal aristocrat took leave of him,
Adorned him in attire befitting his new stature
As they did so many of his stray siblings
They baptized him with a brand new name
Ken Yah. Despicable huh
Kenya's Historical Landmarks - Ventures Africa
They loved his deep green shirt
the flamboyant red belt
the black trousers
and the white tie
Ken Yah. Despicable huh

He was full of promise
Showed immense potential
Was for a time the model
For all his stray siblings
Ken Yah. Despicable huh

They forgot to diagnose him
His tendency to self- cannibalism
Self sabotage and self destruction
His need for his own undoing
Ken Yah. Despicable huh.

His green shirt now faded
to the shade of pale diarrhea
His trouser shredded to bits
His once radiant smile
dotted in rotten, chipped teeth
Ken Yah. Despicable huh.

He only looks at the past
and what could have been
his accelerated rush to the grave
his masters flee from him
Ken Yah. Despicable huh
