THIS ONE CHRISTMAS


On this Christmas eve
Where all neighbors
Prepare for the long awaited day
This one Christmas


Their kids hang on their Christmas stocking
Filled with small presents
All laughing and shouting happily
This one Christmas


Christmas finally gets here
They all have their Christmas pudding
While we just stared
This one Christmas


Our home looked abandoned
There was no pudding
No Christmas tree
This one Christmas


Husband of mother was not home
No single cent at home
No signs of celebrations at home
This one Christmas


Mother sat back quietly and lonely
Mother was sad
We all were
This one Christmas


lets play Mary, Joseph and Jesus
Mother took us to church
Seeing them kids play Mary, Joseph and Jesus
Got us manage a smile
This one Christmas


It would have been different thou
If only husband of mother
Would settle with ONE family
This one Christmas

CURE TO MY SMALL POX

I was nauseous and tingly all over. I was either in love or I had small pox. My second semester in campus and it is all the time I needed to know the class genius or as you may please chopii, the party animals,  the know-it all, back-benchers, class representatives, mean lecturers, dean of students (this one I knew since my day one, keep your dean of students close cause you never know...you might graduate with first class honors without knowing it haha!) , entertainment arena, the lecture halls, master the timetable, master my students' registration number and master the art of smiling. - Yes, smiling. I believe smiling can get you anything. So I get to interact with some students and filtered out some to form a study group to help with the assignments and discuss on "tough" units. Here, they have CCTV cameras in the examination halls. Okay,not functioning ones. But wait, why incur such an expense in installation? So Yes, very much functioning ones. But ...

HABA NA HABA

come lets put a smile on a childs face 13 counties are affected by poor long rains in Kenya today. More than 10,000 livestock have died in a span of 3 months in Ganze, kilifi county following a prolonged drought. Residents are forced to trek a distance of over 30km to reach Renji dam, which is now the only remaining source of water but also believed to be drying up quickly. Some residents claim that this situation has forced their children to drop out of school as they do not have money to cater schools due to the death of their livestock which is their their only revenue. KUTOA NI MOYO A survey by KNA in kaloleni, ganze and kilifi north earlier this year established a total crop failure as all maize planted during the months of April and may dried up immaturely. The kilifi county executive member in charge for agriculture, livestock development and fisheries,  said the county is likely to face a severe shortage of food especially in semi-arid parts of Ga...

IF WOMEN CAN'T, MEN SHOULDN'T EITHER.

People say adoption beats abortion. Well...what about the large number of children waiting to be adopted? And the ones who do not get adopted? Also, many people do not understand the psychological effects of not having that nurturing parent around. It truly messes kids up for life. What a sad life to live in an orphanage with no family or parents! If they make abortions illegal, they should make it illegal for men to desert women after getting them pregnant. If women cannot back out of pregnancies, men should not be able to either. On this fine day,I was running errands with my grandma and discreetly purchased a pregnancy test and ran to the washroom to take it. Immediately, it showed a positive result. I continued to walk around the store with her, tears streaming down my face, telling her that something in the store must have activated my allergies. Normally, I stay quiet, but not silent. I consider myself to be pretty responsible, maybe impulsive at times. My boyfrie...
