Remember Kenya's Rose?
She worked at Ufundi Co-op
For three agonising days
We all hoped and prayed
But her fading life
We could not save.
Two decades on
And her voice still calls
Asking us why
She had to die
And whether
The park we got
Was worth the price
She had to pay.
Please forgive us, Rose
For believing
What we were told
But one day soon
We shall be bold
To denounce the lie
And seek the truth
And to pursue the justice
That has been denied you
For all this time.
Goodbye Kenya's Rose.
