RANDOM JACK POETRY HOUR: GLOBAL POLITICS
The Fourth Estate (Kenya)
When Kenya closed the fourth estate
It opened up the doors
It killed the right to demonstrate
And invited bloody war
When the people have no eyes and ears
The police will have their way
The people would be right to fear
A cause to bow and pray
Without the freedom of the press
The republic is in doubt
Those in power will oppress
To push good people out
The flow of honest information
Is essential to democracy
If you want a democratic nation
And not a cruel autocracy
There are those who would do anything
To keep their hold on power
But freedom is a force that sings
To break down a tyrant’s tower
