Enjo're'



Horn of Lolkerra is blown
Swords of fury are drawn
A man of honor, well known
To the community as Laibon
Was slain in the break of dawn
His head cut off and thrown
in the bushes near his home.
The village is now a combat zone
Warriors alert guarding the throne
Some are sharpening spears
Their wives are drowning in tears
Their Children are hiding in fears
This will be a war of endless years.
Revenge is a dish best served cold
A phrase their rage couldn’t hold
Someone somewhere has to pay
Their enemies had better pray
to their gods to meet them halfway
For today will be a very bloody day
“Today we fight for our King”
Enka'i, oooh! Enka'i, Enka'i, oooh!
“May the gods rest his soul in peace.”

-Edwin Onyango
