Mzee Ojwang was thrown

A story is told
Of a famous comedian
Who was thrown by his people
In a public cemetery.

50 years in the Industry
And all he could invest in
Was his nickname, Mzee Ojwang.

His name erected to the sky
And was adored by the highest bidders
He drunk from both the old and new
Puffed in the dry and the wet
And so his grave was not virgin.

In hospital, walls were his companion
At his rented home, no politician went
The public knew it was pneumonia
On his death day, every ear heard
The famous comedian has slept.

If he had children, he lacked sons
If he had a family, he lacked brothers
If he had women, he lacked a wife
If he had friends, he lacked companions
For the shame we saw is unheard of.

His proverbial soul rests
Among many unknown souls
Where urchins are deposited
When they succumb a a mob.
