PRIORITY

Day in day out I wake up and go on with the daily hustles like everyone else,but why?
If I do not wake up,I will not dress,eat or sleep peacefully.I think we eat to live as much as we live to eat.As long as we get food the rest is secondary.The stomach is the prime motivator to work.Necessity is the best incentive to creativity.Urugari umaga na nda and utonga ni matigari ma nda are two Kikuyu proverbs that imply that the remnants from the food you eat is what you call riches.
What is the use of living in gold if you have nothing to eat?It is like dying of thirst in the ocean.
Worldwide there are millions of people dying of hunger.It is not because they are lazy.I am no better than them.I thank my creator for his undeserved kindness.He gives me life and more.What can I give back.What should I give back?
The greatest man who ever lived,Jesus Christ,asked:"of what use is a man to gain the world and lose his soul?"I met a man who asked me,"what are you reaching for,what is your priority in life?"
I always have answers for any question asked but I could not give an answer to this question that was asked.The man knew me like one would his son.He told me that by looking at me he could tell that I was losing focus of the most important things in life in my quest for riches.I did not argue but I realized I that I might not only have been letting down my creator but also other people who looked up to me.
I want to get on the right track to follow the right way.What I should be is what I want to be.This is about me.My priority is to be me.I do not how but I know I will be.

RUN-UP

In the run-up to the December 2007 general elections in Kenya,the country experienced the most heated campaign ever.Politicians retreated to tribal enclaves and stirred animosities.
The politicians used hatred as a campaign tool.Neighbours who had lived in peace in harmony were forced to see their distinction as tribes.Tensions mounted and when the election results finally came out the country was ripe for the worst violence that had ever been experienced in it.Kenya was afire.People who had existed in peace for years now took up arms against each other.Looting,raping and arson became the order of the day.
As the common man fought,the leaders who had incited them watched from the comfort of their living rooms.The international community intervened and the leaders woke up from their drunken stupor and agreed to share the spoils but the damage had already been done.
Over a thousand people were dead, hundrends of thousands displaced,thousands injured and property worth millions destroyed.It was now time to build back what had been demolished,time for healing and reconciliation.
Resilient as ever,Kenyans pressed forward in search of a new constitution vowing never again to slide to anarchy.
It was a great struggle but step by step Kenyans regained their strength and identity as a nation.

HYPOCRITES

We have the best smiles
We laugh when there is nothing to laugh about
When people cry we also cry so that it can be said that we also cried
We pretend sorrow while the heart is full of joy
We pretend that we care while we don't give a hoot
We pretend a love that isn't,that never was
We elevate ourselves to be accepted in higher places
We lower our standards because we fear being called proud
We laugh and ridicule those who expose our hypocrisy
We wear dark shades to hide our bloodshot eyes
We wear clothes to hide our imperfections
We use props to prop up up our frail and flappy bosoms
We marry to be called responsible
We go to church to have someone minister at our funeral
We live half our lives lying to ourselves
We live the other half living the lie
We are all hypocrites

AUTOGRAPH

Autograph:a document written entirely in the author's handwriting.Have you ever signed one?Do you know how to sign one?
I have signed autographs before though not as many as I would like to ,make you believe.I usually scribble a sentence and underneath but always ask myself of what importance it is to the autographee.
Today as I came out of the auditorium after an electrifying show I saw a very beautiful girl walk towards me.I do not rate myself anywhere handsome and so when I saw this mermaid walk towards me I became weak at the knees.I felt myself  going down and I stretched my hand to seek support and there she was holding my hand gracefully.I felt an electric current course through my body.She said,"Hi".I was rendered speechless.She had an angelic voice..
"I want you to sign an autograph for me,please,"she said handing me the leaflet we had used to advertise the show neatly folded.The emotion flowing through me was torrential.
I wanted to make this autograph moment the most memorable ever but I just scribbled my usual nonsense and walked away.
This was one of those rare moments that spice up life but I had squandered this one.All because I was overcome with emotion and did not know what makes a good autograph.
Oh my!She was the most beautiful being I HAD EVER SEEN an I did not even ask to exchange contacts!Foolish me!!

TROUBLE.




THE INDIAN OCEAN,SOMALIA:Fishermen live peacefully only concerned about feeding their families.Then comes the big ships.Dumping toxic waste in the waters,taking all the fish,leaving sick and hungry natives in their wake.When the poor fishermen dare protest they are sprayed with scalding water.Their livelihood is threatened and their existence with it.The fishermen decide to take up arms and fight for their lives.They discover the art of hijacking the errant ships and making the companies pay good money.Soon every ship within their reach in the waters become prey.Fishing is forgotten and now the fishermen are labelled PIRATES.It is now them against the world.
MOUNT ELGON,KENYA:Men take up arms to defend their land.The government proscribes them and launch a massive manhunt for the men fighting for their survival.The men will not go down on their knees.It is war.The SLDF(Sabaot Land Defence Force)is born.
CENTRAL AND RIFT VALLEY PROVINCES,KENYA.Young able bodied men neglected and lied to for decades,forgotten and almost buried,rise up against the status quo.If no one is going to employ them,they will employ themselves.They collect garbage,offer security and manage bus termini.Soon, they are a government of their own.They are now outlaws.The status quo seeks to eliminate them and the Mungiki is born.Everybody is now in trouble.
You neglect the poor,oppress the needy,abuse power,mismanage resources,infringe on the rights of the people and deny them their liberty,then you have the perfect recipe for trouble.
You will see worse than the world has ever seen from the Harakaa-al-Shabaab Mujahideen.Just be aware.Terror is what you invite whe you create unnecessary trouble for the majority.
Do not bite more than you can chew.Be fair.Be just.Avoid TROUBLE.

FREEDOM.


This too is dedicated to our ever vigilant media.Thanks to them we can now get live coverage on everything including proceedings from parliament.But do not think we do not see beyond what you show us.You conspire with the stupid politicians to lie to us.
You orchestrate everything to suit your benefactors.You will focus on your employers whenever they are active churning bullshit and focus elsewhere when they are busy napping when they are supposed to be working.
You do not show us what we need to see but what you think we should see.You are part of the lie.If you are aware of a lie and you do nothing to expose the lie you become part of the lie.We would rather have you tell us the truth though it be painful sometimes and not some fabricated money minting shit.
You say you want freedom,you want self regulation but pause,freedom from who or what?You only need to be free from yourselves.You are owned asses and balls by the politicians.
The biggest shareholders in your companies are the politicians.They dictate what you do and say.You are slaves to their whims and desires.
I understand.You do not hit where you eat nor shit where you eat and hit.You do not bite the fingers that are feeding you but that is not an excuse to joke with our fucking lives neither is it a license to feed us shit.Shape up or ship out.You will never be free as long as you thrive under the wings of the so called angels that are politicians.

ORGANIZED CONFUSION.
