When you call for rain, have mud in mind too, but for Kenya we better prepare for flood. I mean Noah’s flood. But with little certainty for an Ark. My people are fully divided into political camps. Tongues spitting fire on both sides. Names perfectly matching opinions because tribalism is a recipe for the political dish in this country. But remember, that which we are calling for might finally come and when it comes we’ll wish we didn’t.
Well I’m not trying to be the Mr ‘I –know-it-all’ so before you get pissed and stop reading my piece, kindly give me a second more of your time to tell you this: Somalia was a country before 1991 and so was Syria before March 2011 but now bullets and grenades are part of their daily weather forecasts. You think we are exceptions? It’s a very short walk to genocide. Rwanda dared it and it came. Our differences can’t be deeper than those led to the construction of the Berlin wall (to separate East Germany from West), so I bet we can rethink of how to solve them without blowing the war trumpets.
