What Defines You!

 

 


                                                         What defines you?

Your career!

Your status!

Where do you find true identity?


Human beings are dynamic

We are constantly changing

Growing.

Always learning

And,

Unlearning.


Never let people define you

Live your truth

Believe in yourself

Trust that you're a unique creature

Beautifully and wonderfully made.


Change to better yourself

Not to please fellow humans

Listen to all

But just take in what suits you.

After all it's your life.


Always remember,

Choices have consequences.

Take responsibility for your actions. 

Live and let live.

Abstract Thoughts!

 The flow of words is inconsistent

Nothing is ever constant

Though change is said to be constant

Is this an abstract statement?


We recreate ideas in our minds 

To suit our nascent demands

Who should give the commands


Sometimes I have nothing to write about

I just let the mind wander 

And let the fingers type

Whatever thought flows


Who says there should be rules for everything?

Rules are there to control humans

To colonize our thoughts

And curtail our ambitions


But again some rules create order.

Stability.

Continuity.

These rules, we can follow.

If we must.

What Is Life?

Pause for a moment and think about life!
What really makes you tick?
In fact the question is... what's life?
Is it an abstract concept?
A philosophy?
A theory?
Or,
Life is just life.
Life is now...
The breath we have
The joy we feel
The pain we experience
Life is the thoughts...
That occupy our minds
The emotions..
That we feel
The biases we create
Our belief systems
Ideological alignments
Form part of our lives
Life is the sum total of our choices
Therefore,
Live free
Live and Live.

Not Again Kenyans

 



The season is here, of political nuisance

Again they've come without substance

And we, foolishly, give them an audience

Clearly, we didn't learn from the last instance


They gave empty promises, we listened

Promises on previous promises we listened

The same monkeys have resurrected

With same old  lies, now well perfected


They have no shred of decency

How to get votes is their emergency

As they shrewdly court sycophancy

Even if it means tearing up democracy


It's astonishing how we always give them an audience

And allow them to insult our intelligence

Don't we have a little credence?

Are we slowly succumbing to cognitive dissonance?


We have become politically pathetic

Devoid of any substantive critic

All we do is social media gimmick


We have another perfect opportunity

 To put to test our and their integrity

We must check and recheck their credibility

We cannot afford another regime built on dishonesty


The time is now, for all of us to rise 

Declare and make a personal promise

 To end the perennial politics of demise

And embrace a new dawn of progress


To the youth, our tomorrow is now!

Each must make a solemn vow

That, to the old goons we won't bow

Because we need political power now


We must take charge of our present

Press for a seat in the government

And have a meaningful engagement

When Trials Come!

Life is the everyday mundane experiences

Wake up,

Bath

Eat

Go to work.


Chat with your family 

Make love to Your wife

Assure your love to your offspring

Check in with your brother/sister


Daily small ordinary activities


So what happens when Trials come?

When your love feels let down?

When you choke from a bad decision?

When you feel you let down your own?


How do you fix all the mess?

It's probably not your fault entirely!

But the buck stops with you.

What do you do?


You turn to your believe system

Seek God's guidance

If you believe in God

Make a conscious decision to change


Forgive...

Forgive yourself first

Forgive everyone else

Even when they've not asked

And even when they don't deserve!


Free your soul

Control your thought

Manage your emotions

Have self control.


Pray for wisdom

Ask for Grace

Live positively


Let go of the past

Start afresh

Learn from your mistakes

Keep on going. Never stop.


Choose to believe

Choose faith

Choose hope.

And live free

Political Stupidity

Everyday I listen to the politicians I'm left speechless

What happens when intellectuals win elections

Especially in this part of the planet-Southern Sahara

Where political utterences leave you questioning your intelligence

We have seen industry captains join politics to become crazy  psychofants

Professors defy their own academic research for whack govt policies

There must be a catalyst for foolishness in the political space

Where common sense is religated to the last option.

Individuals with fine English from the best schools push for wrong agendas

Lawyers and Forney judicial officers pass draconian laws to please political masters

Elected members of parliament compromise their roles for small monies



Gangster Paradise


We are in a bandit economy

Everything now is a commodity

Corruption is an opportunity

We are a fallen community

A disgrace to humanity

People Issues

Why do we quarrel You might wonder! When we got all the tools For effective communication ? People issues. Complex technologies Sophisticate...
