My caring community
You have always catered for me
You have nursed me
Clothed, fed and sheltered me.You have given generously
To cater for my needs
And the general community
Within my means you have lived.People run away from me
But you have always stood by me
Hard times have cropped up though
You find it difficult to hold on.You find it hard to stand by me
Because the generosity is dwindling
People no longer give generously
For you to cater for my special needs.The hard times have made you turn away
You even threaten to close down
Institutions of my rehabilitation and education
Because nothing is forthcoming.You forget that the institutions were built
For my sake
Changing them for other programmes
Will prove that you actually do not care for me.While I was fruitful you stood by me
Now that I am no longer providing
You are shying away from me
My caring community why have you forsaken me.Why should I carry the cross
For the sins I have not committed
You have always benefited
At my expense
My caring community why have you forsaken me.Peter Bodo Ong'aro
