My favorite place is gone

My favorite place is gone
The only place I have ever loved
The only place smoothened by my tears
Wind blowing my tears
My favorite place is gone

My young innocence never failed me
I saw people cry and laugh
Walked past without a care
But I grew to realize there is more to life
My favorite place is gone

With maturity comes understanding
Tears now have a meaning
Real laughter is appreciated
Closeness becomes a personal decision
My favorite place is gone

Now my favorite place is gone
I have no rock to stand on
Life took away the innocence
But I have my brat by me
My favorite place is gone.

When men scream......

Viewpoint Wekesa the chef The foot of Longonot Quenching thirst A day comes in a man's life when you must decide what is important in your life. And one of those days happened to me, i am a family man and that is something sacred, i work many hours and with utmost dedication that you would get, and especially in the past one year it has not been an easy one. After pushing the body for over a year with no leave days, with pressure from work and other  hustles (read political), i decided to tone it down and take a breather. Last week i met a few people, casually called Fantastic, Don, Kirere and Sherry. The five of us settled on taking  a day off of our usual engagements and run around and see what Kenya has to offer. The itinerary was to run from 5am to 10pm. First, Kenyans are yet to master the art of keeping time, ask Don and his sister Fantastic on this. We ideally left Kigumo at 6.30am. An hour later we were in Kiambu's hub of business, Githurai and y...

One day I am seated in the house and I ask my wife. 'I am told many came to see me at the hospital. Please because I can't remember that Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday you need to tell me who came '. Shaking her head shocked says 'How now, si you talked to them. How now don't you remember '(story for another day). That 7th November 2017.  My memory has refused to remember details to-date. But I remember when going for theatre I was to have my hand cut off from the wrist, but on gaining conscious after two days I found the hand tucked inside the abdomen. Doctor told me  something "for the hand trauma I decided to do a flap reconstruction so that you may have a" palm maybe to hold something. It's 50/50,it works at times and others it fails but no harm trying. I would stay with the hand in the abdomen for 7weeks. Sleeping only with the back, can't even seat well. Daily wound dressing. Long days and nights. Dates stuck in me. 10th December w...

The late Mzee Jomo Kenyatta takes oath of office as Prime Minister. Kanu won 83 seats out. Photo/Courtesy I was not born when the Founding father and first President of this great republic Kenya passed away on August 22, 1978. However as an avid reader of history and politics i have over time learnt of the kind of man he was, both as a leader and a family man. Forty years after his demise, the memories and dreams of the late President live o. A visionary leader Mzee Jomo Kenyatta passed away in State House Mombasa at 3am according to one Lee Njiru who was Secretary to former President Daniel Moi.
