Take it back

It's basically about our rights

We try to defend our rights
But our voices are not heard
They silence us mercilessly
Without thought that we are theirs
Just like our ancestors
Fighting for what is ours
They try to take away
What is rightfully ours
We came in peace
But came out broken
Piles of bodies all around
Left for vultures to come around
Did you benefit from taking innocent lives?
Did you enjoy the sound of our cries and pleas?
Did you expect us to come and plea?
NO!we claim what is ours.

This is based off of the fight for rights in Kenya
