What peace?

-

Sitting at the verge of terror
Kenya is here yet again.
Same old pulpit
Where we stand preaching peace
We are scared of streets streaming blood
We will be damned if lives are lost

But what peace do we need?
Staying in or out, leading normal lives?
Peace of mind?
What does the future hold
For us Kenyans
Will it be another struggle,
For many years to come
To make ends meet

Will this peace
Calm the bitterness between tribes
Bring fairness and transparency in our system
I pray this call for peace
Is a call for justice
A peace that should let us sit back
Because we know our leaders will serve
That they will crawl out of their greed and pride
And put this nation in its place
The Place of honor and dignity
Not a realm of dynasties

May peace be justice
To all my fellow Kenyans.

...Phil calls and an involuntary smile fills up my face. I can’t get used to his croaky voice. It makes me nervous and I like it. “So what’s up?” I ask. He says he wants to see me, he’s off work. I too am home. “Can I come?”, he asks, “I have some wine and I miss seeing you laugh so sheepishly”. Yes, wine gets me drunk. I have been a teetotaler all my life until Phil happened, a month ago. He comes and soon we are seated on the floor chatting and teasing. He draws me in for a kiss. I am complaisant this time. I respond in kind and we get lost in a shameless hearty moment until he feels his phone ring in his pocket. Damn! It’s been a 5-year hiatus from physical intimacy and I feel heat surging through my body. I could scream but as for Phil…  I 100% recommend. I let him answer and on getting his phone out, oh whoop! The balloons slip out too. I cock my eyebrows, in a quizzical stare and he gives me the smug smile back. It’s her I could tell and he was not hiding ...

Of two men: SELF PORTRAIT

I recently visited Inua Mimi Rescue Centre , a home for children who have escaped tribalism, domestic violence, abandonment and such traumatizing events. I had plenty of fun, thanks to the joy these kids bore like when a friend of mine introduced himself, the kids just burst into a song that mentions his name. I mean they were so adorable and made that Saturday so memorable. I am sorry if it’s terrible to have pitied them, but that’s the kind of attitude I carried all the way from Juja to the Kibera, you know, that woiye woiye feeling. So I am there, fully determined to accomplish the day’s mission, as they say “putting a smile on a child’s face” and our idea was to do a drawing activity having brought plenty of painting stuff for them to get wild on. They draw and their 10 minutes are over. I collect their pieces as we grin at their creativity and tell them how breathtaking they are, but one. That was of a 7 or 8 year old boy, a drawing in red pen of a tilapia, a love shape,...
