PART 2 OF 3
FEATURED ARTICLES BY SARAH WANYOIKE
Dear young man,
I have
watched you grow and how you stat the tarmac roads that i once walked on bear feet. Mud knee high.
Lately your attitude has changed. Your clothes too. Your two
hundred knock off watch and jeans too tight. You have developed a hop in your step
(false confidence).
It is
election time again, and the buyers of strong young men’s soul have been at it
again.
You hang
precariously on campaign on campaign buses oblivious of the danger, bang your
fists on the cars obstructing the way of your musafara.
Rules change during campaign season. You are
now a law unto yourself. Nothing and no one matters. your man has your ear and
you think that you are of value to them and feel the fake pride weight of it
all wailing from your belly you will shout loud and arguing arrogantly while
your accent betrays you.
You take
what you what you feel is yours. After all you say “they stole what they have’.
You assume no hard work, no sweat for you .You will walk around with glazed
eyes then try to cover your face in dark glasses. Only to be let down with a
thud.
Don’t you
value your own life? Do you think your efforts and bloodshed will be valued
like the freedom fighters! Not at all your bodies will be picked up and taken
to the mortuary where your loved ones will be left mourning as they try to pick
up the pieces of their lives to move on.
The
elections will be over and the men and women who hired you will not call. They
no longer need you. They don’t know you. Depression will set in and it will
engulf you like a warm cap this cold July.
Young man
life is for living. Not for getting it easy. You cannot be used and stay free
to yourself.
Grow up!
Live life with purpose. You are created in his image .You are answerable to
him. At the end of your life stand tall
before your maker in truth. Having made your country a better place and having
made a positive difference in people’s lives.
LET PEACE PREVAIL IN OUR COUNTRY.
Don’t be the cause of enmity and hatred.
No one is
bigger or greater than the creator.
THINK!!!
