In the heart of Kenya, where dreams take flight,
We rise as stars, painting shadows with light.
The echo of progress calls our name,
A generation destined for prosperity, not fame.
“Leveraging Technology,”
Yes, technology,
the anthem we sing,
Unlocking doors to unimaginable things.
It’s not just machines; it’s the power we hold, the power within us,
To turn simple stories into futures bold.
The farmer in the village with tools so smart,
Tracks his crops, guided by science and art.
And with hope of blossoming,
A young girl coding under the moon’s soft gleam,
Shaping a future once only seen in dreams.
In classrooms buzzing with digital skills,
We’re climbing mountains, conquering hills.
From robotics labs to video screens,
We’re building bridges to impossible scenes.
But let us pause—this journey is two-fold,
For technology’s power is mighty and bold.
Without national values, it’s just a flame,
Burning bright but void of aim.
Unity binds us, stronger than steel,
Integrity guides us, shaping what’s real.
Respect for our roots, for those who came before,
Honoring culture while we explore.
A boy in the slums,with a laptop in hand,
Sees not despair but a promised land.
He programs hope, he codes his fate,
Because Kenya’s tomorrow will not wait.
From the bustling city to the tranquil plains,
Technology whispers, breaking the chains.
It’s not just science; it’s heart and soul,
Connecting a people, making us whole.
Picture a world where talents align,
Where creativity flows, where stars brightly shine.
A filmmaker’s lens, a poet’s word,
Stories of Kenya’s heartbeat heard.
With every app, with every line of code,
We light the path, so high we light, on this heavy road.
Not just for wealth, not just for might,
But to ensure every Kenyan future burns bright.
So here we stand, in this moment of power,
Ready to blossom like the morning flower.
With technology in one hand, values in the other,
Together, united, as sister and brother.
The world is watching, and we have the key,
To a Kenya thriving in prosperity.
So let’s rise, let’s dream, and let’s create,
For our future is calling—it cannot wait.
And as we build, let’s never forget,
The foundation of values on which we are set.
For technology alone can never replace,
The humanity etched in every face.
Let’s code with purpose, invent with care,
Create with passion, beyond compare.
For this is our anthem, our hope, our plea—
A Kenya united for eternity.
Evans Asikoyo (the poet)
