THIS MAN EAT MAN SOCIETY SUCKS!

I cried yesterday and today I dare cry again. I cry these bitter tears that only flow from my heart. Tears that only my soul understands. For how long will I cry? I exercised my right! Yes! I woke up very early in the morning to get to my polling station. When I got there, the queue had already made six turns. I queued anyway because I had to make a change. A change I anticipated in the 90's which didn't come through? I had to be that change! So I voted at 1 pm from 6 am and went back home with sore feet. Was the change robbed from me?

I wallow in despair each time I remember a hundred and fifty shillings led me to sell my nation to the devil. With just a mere one fifty shillings, he bought my vote with promises that he will improve the roads, create more jobs and improve the lives of the poor. After winning with my vote, he went away to build his own estates to secure his future in case he lost in the 2nd round. One fifty bob bought me one meal and I went back to my usual state. My stomach betrayed me once again.

The state of ethnicity on social media makes me sick! Onyango keeps insulting Njeri each time "BABA" is portrayed in negative light. Kigen fights back with heavy utterances each time Ruto is accused of being a cry baby and a land grabber. But is it false? Gosh! Wambui is accused of being an opportunist when she happens to marry Otis or Wepukhulu, a billionaire! On social Media, it's a crime to find a beautiful light skinned Achieng because according to Mbugua, the land of Odinga cannot by any change have a light skinned. "Wote ni Makaa! "

Will this ethnic divide ever come to a hault? According to Joe Khamisi in his book Politics of betrayal, our founder fathers started this ugly facade. Jomo betrayed Oginga, Moi betrayed Odinga, Kibaki betrayed Odinga, and the circle continues. Who will betray who next? Sad bit is, only the less privileged insult each other, fight and even kill each other for the sake of these rich fellows who have send their kids overseas for studies.

I second Dennis Itumbi when he says there is no complete democracy in a nation where voices of a contrary opinion  are smothered so that they cannot be heard. I also concur with Caroline Mutoko when she says, "It's true God comes down to help us in our time of need but it is also true that, sometimes He assumes we will use the brain He gave us. So when we are brainwashed to vote in mean leaders, we cannot say that they are chosen by God for God only chooses the good. "

We will Stop being referred to as lazy intelligent Africans when we will start using the whole of our brain because as it stands, we have used just about 1% of it. We will also get those leaders we so much want the moment we shall stop voting with our stomachs, but our brains. We shall become peaceful the moment we shall realise that Onyango, Mbugua, Wafula, Nyabonyi, Amina, Chepchumba, Mutinda, Muthedia, Oleteipa among others are just names and that we are defined by one tribe which is Kenya!
