STATE BANQUET By Ochieng Oloo Pardon my inappropriate invitation at the moment, Your conjured comment dress not in lament Temper your temperaments, for monumental is the moment My invitation I remitted, your names I submitted At the courtyard let us meet and feast in our set seat Without intimidation or discrimination My invitation is tendered at your discretion Let it be known, that you must not moan of your own Let it be known, that we did not frown, because of your crown For it is our time to eat Efficiency and effort I point magnificently Such is the art articulated smartly and diligently Behold so bold in my hold lies our cake Behold what you sold filed in my hold and take Delicious is our stale stay, righteous our wicked way Glorious our dark day, meticulously reflected like a rotten ray But you hopeless helplessly must watch as you sit For it is our time to eat I must be candid, indeed for you to heed The sowed seed you now seek to rid You who uncunningly uprooted the seeds and weirdly weeded the weeds This state banquet is under my kin’s bids This cake is ours and those of our creed So heed, bleed and pleasantly plead But wearily watch longingly, the feat of our sweat For it is our time to eat Your curious cries and sorrowful sighs now reach the skies Your lies and ties no longer roll the dice Your time was great, do you remember the treat? Now you must retreat, and cease being a threat For you ate, and hate happily met He is now our mate and you are late The coin changed hands and now it’s sweet For it is our time to eat Sorry for the way I behave at this banquet Forgive me for I know you are hungry but quiet Pardon me for belching on your face But please do understand and my appetites embrace You who were here, know how this was sired You, who ate before, now want the fears cleared But how can we, when we just started to feel it Since it is our time to eat You now feel what we felt, when we feel what you felt This feeling so reeling is worth stilling Our brains so satiated in nonsense I pelted For enough is at stake to deter stealing Let’s take our take and divide the stake Rake the norms and discrimination bring to a brake We are one and the same, you name it And it is our time to eat We must uphold equity at the state banquet We must ensure parity at this state banquet We are one, united by state We are brothers, mothered by our country Look at you brother, your story I relate Irrespective of county let us reset the banquet story We have the chance; the people, and the outfit. For it is our time to FIT (End)
