THE DEATH NOT READY FOR

By Glen Don


I AM TIRED 


Kill me but not with your hands,

tell me to commit suicide,

tell  your doctors to allow euthanasia,

because I am not ready to die in your hands.


Kill me not with your hands,

we once worshipped in one church, your suit was elegant, I was in alb and the floor, it was cassock,

I took french leave, to serve my stomach,

before, we walked in same streets; what i know is that you were inside chauffer-driven car, to me driving my footsubishi.


 I  gave you job in exchange of my sympathy, and for your million tithe,

For I am not ready to die gruesome death in your hands.


Kill me not with your hands,

I see heavy boots on tar coming for my live carcass,

because I have frowning face for your bitter fruits, that were once sweetest seeds,

yes seeds that made me to give job.


You're my doctor,

let me die not in your hands,

euthanasia is illegal, and inject me not with the vipers to maim my body,

treat me as your patient, because I have cancer that demand caressing.


Kill me not with your hands,

tell your nurses to be kind to my fellow patients,

words they spew are cackle of barren hen, inflating us carbon monoxide,

I choose to suffer, than dying in your hands.


I entrusted you for my love,

 yellow for blissfulness, green-prosperity, and black-Africa,

I  am thine friend, ye ma traitor,

love me please, I beg for your love.


Burn  me not in Gehenna of Sulphur, and you in tranquil paradise,

quench my thirst, and feed me more of your lies, to make me survive this hot coal,

tell your "god" that we are suffering, tell him to send angels to rescue us from furnace,

hello 'Caesar'!!, the plebs are dying.


I choose to survive but not die,

not at the hands of your men and machines,

not of your loquacious threats and bickers,

Kill me not, for I'm not ready to die.

SINGAPORE AND KENYA: DAY AND NIGHT

Kenya got its independence 1963 from the British colony, while Singapore got it two years in the month of August 9, 1965 from Malaysia after they had intense political differences which resulted to racial riots. Standing on the mirror line reflecting on the two countries between Kenya and Singapore, Kenya is extremely behind Singapore in terms of development.  Singapore hastily rose from third world country to first world country while Kenya still maintained the third world class.  Recently, Kenya's President Dr. William Ruto, is full of comparison statements: between Kenya and Singapore. Surprisingly, the phrase of boosting Kenya's world class has taken a beautiful twist where every politician is dreaming of Kenya to be futuristically the same level as Singapore. Pausing a bit, what's a dream? pondering on this; a dream literally means imaginary events while sleeping.  Our politicians are forgetting the dogmatic saying that goes 'action speaks louder than...

THE CHANGE EXPECTED IN REVERSE: GEN Z'S FADING STRENGTH

Photo Courtesy   Waking up to find the sun rising from the West and not East at dawn is enough to signal a whirl of change in the cosmological history. As a product of imagination it can be, who knew Gen Z would emerge as with a wave of change in a sundry of generations unexpectedly.  With this wave, the political sphere in every country worldwide is experiencing an overhaul.  Recently, protests have marred different countries with calls for change.  Bangladesh, Nepal, Morocco, Madagascar, Kenya are some of the countries that have at least tasted the pinch of the GenZ protests, while some of the protests have resulted in a change in the political sphere of the affected countries others have left less impact with mission and vision unreached due to fanciful impulse.  Generation Z, globally have not only expressed their anger through anger through protests and demonstrations, but also in politics where some of the African countries like Seychelles and...

NOT-NOW: HAVE SOME HUMANITY

photo courtesy (unknown) A person cannot retract a message that has reached a mass audience invariant of where it was said. One of the characteristics of communication is that you cannot uncommunicate.  A silent person remains wise until he utters a word. His Excellency Mutahi Kahiga might exemplify this phrase considering his tracenda during his speech at a funeral in Kiambu county, where he was addressing them in the local dialect.  Mr. Kahiga, seems to be deficient in emotions especially concerning the latest tragedy that befell the country when he cast aspersions on Raila Odinga's demise.  Raila Odinga, without doubt was akin to mumbo-jumbo within the luo community yet to his capacity during his lifetime did he not only benefit the Luo but became a national figure and perhaps a trademark in Kenya's politics.  In the history of human life, man is mortal and from soil we come, to soil shall we return. Regardless of the circumstances, man is...
