I pray, wish and long for your demise,
For you've refused, refused to...

Turn up your sleeves and serve me,
Be attentive enough to understand me,
Be there long enough to hear my cries,
Open up you ears and listen to me.

Please I beg you, beg you to...

Turn your head and face me,
Open your eyes and look at me,
Open up your mind and see me,
Mind with your heart to believe me...

And believe me Mr. MP,
I've been here all along and it’s always been like this...
And believe me Mr. MP,
There’s just so much that I can take...
And believe me Mr. MP,
The day of reckoning is near, nearer than you think,
And believe me Mr. MP,
If I don’t come after you, you will choke under your own greed!

The countrys' Journey.

I saw this somewhere and thought our politicians can learn a few things from it...

A young girl and her quiet brother boarded a matatu from Nairobi to Western Kenya. On reaching Westlands, she got up from her seat and walked to the driver and asked “Tumefika Naivasha? (are we in Naivasha yet?)”

The driver answered “bado!” (not yet). When they reached Kangemi, the girl walked to the driver again and asked “Tumefika Naivasha?” At this point, the driver got irritated and promised her that he would let her know once they reached Naivasha.

With this promise, the girl relaxed and fell asleep. But, on reaching Naivasha, the driver forgot his promise and drove on. Twenty minutes after Naivasha, the young girl stood up and asked the usual question. At this point the driver realised that he had failed the girl. He drove back and announced to her “Sasa tuko Naivasha” (we are now in Naivasha) .

The girl strolled to the luggage rack, opened her bag and removed some bread and milk and started munching them. At this point the driver informed her again that they had reached Naivasha, to which she replied “mama aliniambia nikifika Naivasha, nitoe mkate yangu” (my mum told me to eat my bread on arriving in Naivasha).

“Na unaenda wapi?” (what is your destination?) asked the driver. “Naenda Kakamega,” (i’m headed to Kakamega) replied the girl!Like this matatu driver, our leaders are assuming. They think they know where we are going as a nation.

But somewhere out there, like the girl’s silent brother, someone knows where we are going. If this someone has a name, he should stand up!

He should also heed the words of Prof Wole Soyinka “ … a tiger does not proclaim its tigritude; it pounces”. In other words, do not tell us you are the leader; lead!

Mr. MP, On who's behalf?
Related to country: Kenya


You know what? Im just tired of the way our political leaders go on about what we want, but nobody has ever asked me or anybody I know what we want.. they stand in podiums and say "kenyans want minimal constitutional reforms before next general elections" but I beg to differ, it's time they started speaking from their 1st person, here is an example "I want minmum reforms so that I can be the next president..blagh..blagh.."
Is any one out there with me!?
