The sun has set on a man who gave his life to the struggle.
The son of Jaramogi the son of Kenya.
He walked through fire for this nation,
Endured prisons, betrayals, torture yet never lost faith in the dream of a free Kenya.
For more than four decades, he stood tall,
Carrying the hopes of millions on weary shoulders.
When others bowed to comfort, he chose the hard road
For justice. For truth. For the people.
He was detained, silenced and tortured
But he never stopped believing that Kenya could rise.
He believed that democracy was worth pain,
That freedom was worth tears,
And that leadership was about service not privilege.
Now, the lion rests.
The streets are silent. The flags tremble in the wind.
But from the echoes of his voice, a message still rings:
“Stand up. Keep walking. The dream is not dead.”
To the new generation
This is your moment to rise.
Not with bitterness, but with purpose.
Not with noise, but with courage.
Raila fought so you could speak.
Now speak with wisdom.
He suffered so you could dream.
Now dream boldly.
He gave his life for the nation’s soul.
Now guard it fiercely.
Baba has rested,
But his spirit lives in every young Kenyan who refuses to give up.
In every voice that still demands justice.
In every heart that still believes Kenya can be better.
Rest in power, Raila Amolo Odinga.
Your journey shaped a generation,
Your pain birthed our freedom,
And your legacy will live for centuries to come. 🌹
