THE UNREACHABLE, THE DEMOCRACY

Kenyans, we may go to the streets a lot, we may match a lot, we may chat a lot about Democracy,
we may compose poems, brainstorm on slogans, we may sing songs many for Democracy,
we may talk a lot, we may hold dialog es, we may have conventions, hold conferences all in the quest for Democracy,
we may thirst for it, yearn for it, look for it but never realize Democracy..

we are a nation under seize, as a matter of fact we are not a nation yet!
we are people under division, a people that are apart, a people that do not understand each other.....
we are a people that does not tolerate each other, a people who do not know the word acceptance, and if they know of it the are not willing to practice it....!

yes that is the reality on the ground..

we are good at denying it, we sweep things under the carpet, we bury our head under the sun, we have decided to ignore it, and never to talk about it..

yet, this is what hinders us from achieving that which will benefit our well being, this is what make us toss in our beds, this is what hinders the countries development both economically and politically. It is this societal  makeshift divisions, that make our lives unbearable, it is what make us weak and not powerful, it is what makes our control not to be felt by our leaders.. it is that which makes this thing called Democracy to far to reach .. it is that which makes our feature so hazel...

“I think, tribalism is a mental prison…and pride of identity coupled with arrogance is one of the leading factors that limit one’s ability to abandon it.” ―

THE OCCUPY LEADERSHIP

The leaders run as fast as they could to find out what lay on the other side.. They pretended to care and the run was for the good of all.. The villagers applaude  them, cheered them, watched them, fed them, supported them... They saw a good opportunity to go up, the villagers saw a people who were to push their agendas all for the good of all, They saw a great way to bring every persons  needs out to the public eye, to empower them as a people, to strengthen their economic welfare, to represent their petitions, to be good ambassadors....

However the situation changed as as the BIble says" only God can judge the motives and the desires of the heart"... they changed! They started dancing to their own tune, they for went their calling,  They forgot, they set themselves apart, they  became selfish! Lost focus! Sought for their own good!
So they started asking for wealth, the proceeded to demand! When it it did not work, and they did not get what they wanted, they proceeded to scheme on how to rob ... They became forceful, they stole, they stole and the villagers could not take it no more,

...and they reacted, they were tired, they were exhausted, they decided to take matters into their hands... They decided to take the leadership positions, they decided to take matters into their hands, they decided to # Occupy Parliament and #reload it...Politicians and diapers should be changed frequently and all for the same reason.  ~José Maria de Eça de Queiroz, translated from Portuguese
