Our Beloved +254

I hear the cries, arguments and noises all around in every corner. At the city steps is a pregnant economy, a choice that has to be made by its contributors; birth or abortion.
Days and nights pass by as we congregate with our parents/guardians at the tube or radio transmitter to grasp the days proceedings; well thats according to a few sources of information. We gladly sit and hear our fathers/mothers complain of what a crapy government we have. This has been going on for years now. Dad's pressure rises as he listens to the Member of Parliament address a congregation or as the Finance Minister reads the budget. Its all been the same talk, an incompetent leader in an incompetent government.
Crime rises per the hour, shoot to kill orders are hauled at the gangsters due to lack of capacity to fight crime. tribalism hails the office corridors, as illegal trades are made under the noses of relevant authorities.
Our local media stations do not help an inch. Two hours worth of publicity to the local politicians as they throw tomatoes to one another; an innocent 6 year old watches the initiator of a violence that took away his 4 siblings and 2 parents, talk rubbish and defend their actions.
This is the country we live in. One that is in need of change. One that is suffocating from cycles that rock it day and night. one that has hope but depends on its people to accomplish that hope. Just like the israelites we have a Promised land to go to. Its a stone throw away, but shall the reflection of us on our leaders halt our steps to accomplish the milestone? Its time we arise and start the revolution. It starts with Me! The back shall stop with ME! Kenya ARISE, may her people recognize the need to stop the violence and tribalism, the impunity and nepotism, the idiot thinking and oppression on lower class. Lets make a point to reduce the poverty gap, to create employment, to do away with donor funding! Sacrifices must be made, selfless citizens must increase. Take care of the ones around you and naturally you shall be taken care of! Let +254 forever be remembered for its great accomplishments. Our beloved +254
