Even Fools Have Their Day?

The world is so kind,That even fools have their day,No, I’m fooling you,It’s not fools’ day,As if there was something praiseworthy about foolishness,Instead,We are allowed to fool you,And you in return fool me,And we fool each other,Then we end up being a heap of fools,Or how do you call a person who fools others even […]

Time Well Spent

It is time well Spent,That time spent in correcting the errors of the past and unlearning those vices which are almost becoming one’sl second nature. It is time well Spent,That time Spent in poking holes in self and doing a thorough soul search to clean any cobweb that is hiding in the recess of one’s […]

In Love With an Unbeliever

I once had directed to me, some unkind and what I consider misguided comments by someone who ridiculed my articles on Relationships. His concern was not on the quality of my work or literary skills, instead, he had a few misgivings with the subject. He felt that a relationship was not a very important matter and that I could instead focus my efforts on other things like employment, academic research, and many more ‘scholarly subjects’. My ambitious friend and colleague in the global fraternity, like all aspiring trailblazers, felt like relationships were not an important matter. What about you?

Weeks When Decades Happens

A Woman Called Somebody

Her life had taken a downward pedestal,It seems like she was losing her hold on life,If her life depended on apothecary she had exhausted them,For some reason, her condition outmanoeuvred even the balsam,Even if she heard that there was some physician Somewhere,She couldn’t afford it,Her issue had milked her dry of her substance,She was sickly […]

A KENYA WITHOUT RAILA AND RUTO

Kenya has had a lot to face in the wake of its democratisation journey, especially after the second liberation. Presumably, under the democratic process where the leader with majority votes carries the day, we are still not so sure if this is real. There is a vast majority who believe that the system, the so-called deep state, has an influence on who carries the day. However, I believe that the ballot is stronger than the bullet.

Swimming out of the Pool of Unemployment

If you sack Jose Mourinho today, the following day another giant club will announce him as the new manager. Larry Madowo gets out of BBC North America, and he is working with CNN Africa.  These cases look too good to be true. The secret is not in the said organizations, but in the individuals—they have something to offer that you don’t easily come across.
