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.”
