Prayers Of the Young

In this age, we have so many temptations. Our peers influence us, thus we tend to forget OURSELVES.
Being looked as if we are from a different world, just because we find solace in prayer, bliss in praising our GOD.
Because of that, many of us tend to shy away from the place that brought us peace, forgetting we are also moving away from GOD. By doing so, we become alienated from GOD, making our prayers to HIM disgusting.
1 Peter 3:12, "For the eyes of the LORD are on the righteous, and HIS ears are open to their prayers; but the face of the LORD is against those who do evil."
 GOD hears the prayers of his faithful children.
Because we are young, we tend to approach GOD with an attitude, often filled with self-righteousness.
In Luke 18:9-14, We are given the example of the Pharisee, who went to the temple to pray, but he was full of himself and his own goodness. He didn't ask for favor and grace of GOD. But in that same temple, the tax collector prayed a simple prayer," GOD, have mercy on me, a sinner." He humbled himself and his prayer was heard. For it is written, those who exalt themselves will be humbled, and those who who humble themselves will be exalted.
The time is now to start praying for heavenly desires, for they are most important. After all, Psalms 37:4
"Delight yourself in the LORD, and he will give you the desires of your heart,"
GOD listens to us, and answers according to our prayer. Matthew 7:9," Ask and it shall be given to you; knock, and it shall be opened to you; Or what man is there of you, whom if son ask bread, will give him stone?."

Dear Opposition

Why go to great lengths to try and De-stabilise an infant Government when its trying to learn how to walk.
You come up with arguments that seem only to quench your thirst for power.
You bring threats of carrying out mass protests so as to have a re-election.
Claims of corruption, tribalism and abuse of power seem to be the word on the tips of your tongues.
So, your leader went the USA and gave lectures in universities there, so you think is like a messiah.
Ask yourself, how many years has he been in the limelight, yet he has nothing to show for it.
Yes he may claim he was held and tortured for us to get the perceived  democracy he was fighting for.
I don't know the magnitude of his suffering, but couldn't he act in a distinguished and gentleman manner as
did the late Nelson Mandela did?
Instead of trying to work with the government, all you can do is criticize it. Yes, your claims may be right,
but why cant you do what you are supposed to to...Keep the government in check.
The discord among yourself is a show of even among yourselves, rivalry exists.
We have another four years before the elections, if you want to make a difference,its now.Stop yelling and
start working. We are tired of your bickering. And dear sir, please retire, you are too old for us. We will always remember the lesson you taught us. Defeat is inevitable, what you do next is what matters most.

And the government, continue working toward making Kenya a prosperous nation... but never forget who put you there.

Terror Versus Human Rights

The recent spate of terror attacks in Nairobi,Kenya has left scores injured and a trail of blood. The one with the most media coverage being the Westgate Mall attack. Was it because it was the rich being targeted...guess only the plotters can answer us. Recent media reports on insecurity around major towns can make one think Kenya is in total turmoil... at least the terrorists are getting free airplay. Then comes the humanitarians...the hell who coined that word. They say all are equal... wonder which world they live in, must be their lavish mansions. They seem to get a voice when some disaster occurs. For instance, they call for just treatment for terror suspects...really? Maybe the suspects ought to take an AK47 and paint their houses red...that might make them have a change in thought...still it remains a "maybe". Some people are just better off dead than alive, or incarcerated till death. It doesn't take a person with a Phd in Security Studies to tell when the time for desperate measures trumps basic "human rights" . Maybe  this pictures might change their minds...
Here President Uhuru cries.... the loss of a nephew

The lifeless bodies...





Gory images...but its the way it was...just think of it... do the family members want justice or revenge?
The time is now... do whatever it takes to protect a country...the safety of one person is nothing compared to the millions of lives at stake. A job well done for the men and women in the police and military...they have sacrificed their lives for our peace...lets not take that for granted....all in all... shoot, kill, torture, maim, hold a terror suspect without prosecution...its a problem half solved. Beats being blown to pieces or having your head shot at point blank.

A Lonely Soul

Remember when it was all smiles?
Everything around glittered like gold.
The sunsets,magnificent beyond words,
A colorful beautiful world it was.
Now,like a rose,withering and loosing its color.
All around darkness,no life it seems,
The sky,filled with stormy clouds,
A rage,sorrow untold to you before.
Why?
All to you is crumbling,
Life seems a fairy tale to you,
All it takes is that one step,
That will make a difference,
The time is now,stop frowning and start smiling.
Open your eyes,happiness is always with you,
You just have to ignite it,
Be it like never before,just remind yourself,
None but I can take it away.
Someone new is waiting,for you to smile.
Try it,you might get addicted to it.

Awe!!!

Awe! The right word to describe where we are.
Astonishing! The kind of things happening each day to us.
Is this really the kind of life we would want OUR children to grow up living.
Change is inevitable so are the consequences that follow.
Where did we go wrong or is it not our blame?
A world slowly fading, yet we have the power to take charge and stand for whats right.
Right! Is there anything bad or wrong?
Good! all that we see easy for "me" instead of US.
Learn! Do we ever get to do this anymore?
Indeed we are lost, question is when or where is our shepherd.
Life moves fast,today here,tomorrow nothing but mud full of maggots.
Yet we still fail to open our eyes and see the kind of life we have.
Are we going to get lost forever?
The time is now to start doing what will sustain us or we will be nothing but distant memories.

Am I?

Is it because that am blind or simply unable to comprehend things as they are.Sitting down,contemplating without foreseeing the inevitable.Vivid thoughts turn into the real while the real fades away like the evening sun.In my own world,torn,hurt and simply alone.While the clock ticks,I remain in a world where time never moves.The time I sit and wonder what it is that "me" wants but "me" doesn't give a probable solution to that which I seek.Slowly,I try to find that which will quench my thirst but to no avail.Then that one question still lingers Am I?
