Permutation

Kimutai Kemboi Allan is a Kenyan writer residing in Nairobi.

Permutation

I faithfully stand
On the courage of my forefathers
The sacrifices of my kin
A solid rock to put my feet on
Tiptoeing towards the shores of success.
Dust to dust they said it shall be
When I am back to dust
I hope to solidify into a rock
My scions will stand upon me
And catch sight of glory!
