Don't Shoot

The spoken word piece "Don’t Shoot Me" by Colossal Music featuring Mufasa Poet and Ashley poignantly addresses the struggles and injustices faced by Kenyan citizens, particularly in light of the ongoing demonstrations. The lyrics express the frustration and desperation of ordinary people protesting for their rights and the betterment of their lives, only to be met with violence and oppression. The refrain "Don’t shoot me" is a plea for safety and humanity amidst protests against high costs of living, unemployment, and systemic inequalities. The lyrics highlight how trivial objects like placards are viewed as threats, while the real threats to life—such as corruption, inadequate healthcare, and economic hardship—go unaddressed. The piece criticizes the misuse of power and the failure of leadership, emphasizing that social divisions, hate, and poor governance are the true killers in society. Through vivid imagery and powerful repetition, the poem calls for a future where freedom of mind and societal liberation are realized. It underscores the need for unity, compassion, and effective leadership to heal the nation and ensure justice for all. This spoken word serves as both a protest anthem and a call to action, urging leaders and citizens alike to strive for a more equitable and free Kenya.
