I WANT.
I want to be different, not just differently but significantly,I dont want to be remembered for my beauty, beauty fades. not for my dressing or shoe collection, its all vanity , not for the size of my wealth, worldly wealth rots.I dont want to be remembered as a politician, politics loses meaning with age. Should I be a celebrity to be different?... hell no! to have to stand constant stares and avoiding paparazi, not quite a life!
People are always remembered for their good and bad deeds, great doctors like Dr. Carson, mighty worriors like Shaka Zulu, all time philosophers like Abraham Lincoln great leaders like Martin Luther Junior, aah! even people like Akuku will be remembered. Barack Obama 'yes we can' first black US president, Onyancha the silent killer, Artur brothers, fake Waiganjo, humble Wangari Maathai who I wish was alive to see how her noble cause to preserve the environment is being 'followed'.
Esther Arunga who demonstrated freedom of worship is something she had to enjoy, for all it was worth.
Not forgetting Abduba Dida , we will surely remember 'I am not asking you to vote for me, vote for the best' , former president Hon Mwai Kibaki... 'acha kuregarega' ...
I want to be different , do extra ordinary different things.
But how can I if you dont give me a chance, I speak you shut me up, I try to walk you deny me space, I run, I grow weary because my stomach is empty, I open my eyes what I see is your greed in plain white and black.My ears I wish I could shut them because of the insults you throw.
My hand is tied ,I try to reach out, I cant, too short, why? My feet are deep in dept because for your selfish gain you paralysed the economy.
For how long? I am tired of watching things go wrong and do nothing.
Okay,I struggle on my own, I achieve, I reach where I want to be, but I cant enjoy, how can I when just two minutes walk from me there is this struggling mum, five kids in a single room, a drinking husband and nagging in-laws!
You say practice family planing yet have you ensured they have the basic education to understand why planning is important, I thank God I eat three meals a day, but how can I be content when there is a brother somewhere who does not even have an oz of drinking water?
I have to create the change I long for, and be remembered differently because
to be remembered is an honor, but to be remembered differently is a great honor.
