poetry; War after WAR

by John S. Mbiti

We are tired of scandals and cases of senselessness in society. We don't have to experience these wars of moral uprightness. Change is what we want. Just listen to this poem and think for yourselves.

We are tired of waiting for and war.

Our trees their leaves have shed

The writer has come and gone

Spring flowers have blossomed and withered

And here we are.

Still waiting for another war

Our atom bombs have rusty grown

And bald are the heads of those who made them

But we

The ugly martyrs of another war

Do not fear

We have seen wars

We know their taste is sweet 

And their smell is good 

Smoke from the guns is all we dream about

 Waiting for our opulent leaders

To start another war

Till the first shot is heard

And the war trumpet is blown.

Is it war after war of whatever nature that we want to witness as a society? Do you get the point of the poem? Share your thoughts. Enjoy

Immaturity conudrums; Questions of indecision persist to the Nerve.

Moving from one town to another' off goes to Nairobi. At one point, this man is seen seated busy writing obviously keeping his favorite scenic reads close to his chest from his newly bought book. From a far, one will be tempted to think that this man is a well cultured man who enjoys freedom of thought and not a prisoner of his own circumstances. But wait a minute; as he opens his mouth to speak, the tone of his voice tells it all. He speaks angrily with a tone of authority to remind the addressee that indeed he is the head. Irresponsible, uncouth, loose character, insecure, traces of ignorance are some of his characteristics commonly featured in his routine life. On an ordinary day, he can pass as a noble gentleman for his calmness and collectivists stealthily hidden behind his pretentious demeanor to  a guest   or those who don't know him well.

The man whom many identify as a pastor is a case in waiting to be determined later in public ridicule court. The man in question is characterized with countless tassels of indecision. He cannot make a decision to grow up and take up responsibility as both a husband and head of the house. Surprisingly, he also does not know whether he is married or not yet he has a wife in the house, he still presents himself out as a single man. Due to that fact, his briefcase is also at hand and his bag packed ready to commute between Valley and Nairobi. While in the big city, the man forgets that he is a pastor and tries out new antics of extra marital preferences having duped the wife back home that he is in the city on a work mission.

Reports of surprising news are trickling in slowly by slowly causing some to look at him suspiciously. He is not a teenager. Why should he behave so immaturely to that extend are just some of the questions we are lingering with.  To what extend can people exhibit? Must you be talked of the town to change your behavior?  We are just wondering where some people grew up and went to school.  If you cannot make a decision to control and manage your own life? How then can other people trust you that you will act responsibly and reasonably enough to carry out your duty faithfull6y ? Shame after shame is what our mature persons in society have perfected and assume as a norm of life. That sort of lifestyle is irritating and perturbing at the same time while the correspondents have grown immune to decorum and order. What we don't clear understand is that, where do people place their senses to let time pass them that long to only wake up in their mid forties yet they actually portray five year old -cum teenage antics? Is our society save if this is anything to go by?  And if that is not enough; do the victims themselves understand  what caliber of chaos and frictions they cause around the lives of those who come into proximity with them ? We here condemns such kind of statures and advise everyone to look into their live and prune out any sort of conundrums.

Books and society

The other day we signposted to you one of the life's most treasured book that is the bible and discussed how it is a must have -cum read for everyone who values life and consciousness. Today we focus on books and indeed let us talk about books and their indispensable nature. There is no way or time that books will be thrown outside the window in this society or even the coming societies. They posses perpetual genes that have just to be carried forward to the next generation. 

Masses have to be informed. That is why GOD INSPIRED AUTHORS OR RATHER THE CREATIVE INDUSTRY which has lambasted society from all corners whether Africa or Europe. People have to read even God himself know that and has gone further and provided provision and blessed authors to carry out that assignment of keeping the masses abreast and an opportunity for them to sample different genres of work from various writers across the board. Our bottom line is that; everyone has the opportunity to get education. Books create equity in society and narrows the gap between the less educated to elites. In this industry, all are welcome regardless of backgrounds. If you want education you will get it in the most convenient way that you desire. You can choose night or day or even go on holiday with your books with you to fill up the gaps in you. There is no complain here that you were not given school fees.

 Warm up to books and stay save ahead and build milestones in your education. At one point or another , we are tempted to say that you don't have to pay in an institution to appear to be learning . You can learn by yourself so long as you know what you want. We urge you to stop being ordinary and doing everything ordinary until your sweat smell ordinary. Choose a difference. Find your own wow factor to protect yourself and your life from unnecessary scandals and antics. Don't suffer from  prejudice, hostility, ignorance , apathy yet we have books in society. You will be reducing value in your life. Learn how to walk safely through books. Life bis a forest. It does not have this straight path that can lead you to your destiny. You must find the way. And one way of finding the road is to count on books to clear the forest for you.

 Life is full of security risks. Learn how to think like a human being and stop replicating the same mistakes that were committed when human was still discovering himself. Appreciate the milestone created and again thank the creative persons out there that have ensured that we don't run short on books but instead new inventions are realized everyday. Don't remain behind and blame someone later. Come out of the cocoon and be in touch with reality. Wake up your senses as the time now is the information age in a twenty first century. 
See you soon

OFF CHANGING CLOCK STICK

Of Skewed public presentation

So immaturity is proofing to be a hard nut to crack by some baseless persons in society to the extend that it is becoming their permanent fixture in their everyday lives to portray discomfiture comfortably? They are hampered with loose tongues, character misfits, insecurity and mostly credibility test yet they take to life as though nothing precarious happened. To what extend will our senior members of the society ranging from some of our parents to grandparents persist in leadership crisis? When will we know sobriety and tranquility if they continue behaving the same way you knew them five years away?  Should we take it silently as a normal way of life? Must some people be always be the ones hurting and misleading the growing children? Why you as a parent be the cause of uncertainty in your own house? That the moment your son or daughter sees you stepping in the house they escape to their rooms or everyone goes silent in the house.

This is not what we need. Society and its inhabitants need heads who can direct and boldly correct mistakes around the family and community at large. Why should you be hunched by skewed ways of presentation in public ? That where you grace people discuss you in low tones . Eyebrows raised always when spotted somewhere. Surely; is this what we need as a society? Life has a lot to be tasted and teach. When will society learn the daily intelligence that is presented everyday by each new day? Why let precariousness be the definition of your life? Disappointment, scandals and prejudice is what has become the norm of many persons across the board.

Your children innocent as they appear don't need this kind of lifestyles. Give them peace to grow up well. Let them have that opportunity to ask questions and answer them correctly to clear the blurs that might be on their way. Be there when needed.Dig around your character and be what it takes to be a parent. One thing every child do not need around their homes is about the misunderstanding and quarrels everyday. Mature up quickly and play your role as a right thinking member of society. Correct your own errors. Do not let them grow into chronic mistakes. Respect the growing generation. They have a long way to go. And in this journey, you as a parent play a very delicate critical role in their well being.

Do not inspire wrong gestures or cause to be quoted later that you were the one who posses such an awkward trait that your son or daughter has taken to today. It is not fair at all. We don't need this lameness in both character and leadership. Parents take up your responsibility , guide the society and clear this dark cloud that hangs around your credibility as right thinking members of the society. Remember that in every step of your life, you are being monitored closely by someone with that skewed public outlook is rather sad, not only that but also pathetic and loathsome. Incivility is bad smell to children. Give us a fresh air in terms of character.
