THE INMATES - KCSE ENGLISH POETRY QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
​Read the poem below and answer the questions that follow.
The inmates Huddled together Cold biting their bones Teeth chattering from the chill, The air oppressive, The smell offensive They sit and they reflect The room self contained At the corner the ‘gents’ invites With the nice fragrance of ammonia, And fresh human dung, The fresh inmates sit thoughtfully Vermin perform a guard of honour Saluting him with a bite here And a bite there ‘Welcome to the world, they seem to say’ The steel lock of the door The walls insurmountable And the one torching tortuous bulb Stare vacantly at him Slowly he reflects about the consignment That gave birth to his confinement Locked in for conduct refinement The reason they put him in prison The clock ticks But too slowly Five years will be a long time Doomed in the dungeon In this hell of a cell QUESTIONS
