"Atieno’s had a baby
So we know that she is bad.
Fifty fifty it may live
And repeat the life she had
Ending in post-partum bleeding,
Atieno yo."

Hold fast to dreams
For if dreams die
Like is a broken winged bird
That cannot fly
Hold fast to dreams
For when dreams go
Life is a barren field
Frozen with snow

This poem is short but has a lot of truth in it. It is focused on how we all set standard for ourselves and never think we can do more and be more. When we have the chance to do so, we are scared to be more than our standards.
