IT IS A CRY

It is a cry,
Pain affliction
Somber if not resentment
Heartbroken and dumped
Poverty looming like does floods

It is a cry,
I come from the ghetto
I a go-getter they call me
I'm used to dirt although it is bad
I can't complain about the food, it is our norm

It is a cry,
I come from the interior area
Backwater they call it
I'm not here to complain
I just request for education, not internet
I don't understand about electricity
I just crave to be an engineer

It is a cry,
The world at the verge of collapsing
Coronavirus raiding an alarm
Quarantine the hit song
Social distancing the remedy
Never worried about covid, I cry for humanity

It is a cry,
Pain and affliction is inevitable
Living in the ghetto is never a choice
Being born in an interior area is never a problem
The world collapsing is unforeseen

It is a cry,
But what about humanity?
Where is humanity?
Will you serve us with humanity?
Why not?

It is a cry,
We can't afford a meal or a cup of water
All we are asking is never food or shelter
We just crave for that humanity
Humanity will shelter and feed us
It is tears of affliction and not joy

Take care.

When nights seems longer, Days tiresome and boring, Do you feel the same as me? When I pray for you before I sleep, Ask God to protect and guide you, Do you even care for yourself?Do you? When I feel lonely and neglected, Tired but ought to wait, Do you even pay the ultimate price? Do you keep promises? When life gets tougher and rogue,tears drop down young cheeks and wets nostrils, Do you feel empathy? Do you even pray for me? When I'm weak and weary, Dumb and broke Dull and dark, Will you still care? Do you even care? When life gives us challenges and troubles, do we turn back an insult God? Should we give in this early? Do we give in? No no no. Give it a trial again. Take care,life is more than mere wishes.

Your reliable leading politics analysis and leadership space By admin ;  (The University Of Nairobi, UON)  The University of Nairobi (UON) , the leading public university across the country is considered as the hub and mother of Kenyan politics.

What is loyalty?

  Loyalty over love We all have that one handsome or beautiful friend, He is more than what you thought was the best for you Times you sit down and wonder why you made rush irrational decisions to fall in love sooner than soon, To make the matter worst, he even tolerates your shits, surprise you with cakes and snacks, he takes you places and always on his phone to check on how you are doing, I mean this guy is just perfect, he even enjoys your company, makes fun of you and keeps you smiling and delighted, Sometimes you seat back in dilemma, overwhelmed by deep thought in a confusion of how your world could look like with this guy, Times you trynna damp your man because he ain't funny as this bloke, you wake up and live on regrets, Now the guy is damn serious, he wants you to date him, he even promised to take you to his parents, as soon as you are ready, Loyalty is when you decide to let him go, and choose to  embrace, hug and keep your damn "useless man...
