IRONY...

Talk of irony, you bite the hand that feed you and you expect to be fed by it still.. you scoop fire with your own bare hands and you expect not to be burned.. you walk into a battle ground and you expect not to get bruised..

you create a monster and you demonize it, you are reckless and selfish and you expect someone to take care of you.. you accommodate any crime as long as its giving you more in the bank.. you walk like a saint yet you know what kind of a hell you are creating.. bending the law any time the highest bidder shows up.. being the first to point a finger at others when the social evil you helped to create bites you.. who are you.. who are you.. Does this image look familiar?

You are a Kenyan citizen that is hungry for money, hungry for self interest, hungry for power at any cost.. you are the selfish being who will trash our constitution all in the name of a shilling.. you are that Kenyan who is first to blame the government when the vice is too big that it shows up at the door step, yes you are that.. your patriotism gone, it moved from your heart to pure presence,  the sense of belonging and responsible citizenship thrown out of the window and what is left is a divided nation .. ethnicity, class and religion.. what is left is a country in dire need of unity. a country in dire need of re thinking their roots, and measuring their patriotic quotient..


"Life is divided into three terms - that which was, which is, and which will be. Let us learn from the past to profit by the present, and from the present, to live better in the future..."- William Wordsworth
