My favorite place is gone


Hugging the winds bye Picture/Courtesy


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.

Why you can consider joining NYS in your "gap year"

President Uhuru Kenyatta greets National Youth Service recruits after a parade at the NYS college in Gilgil on September 10, 2014.Photo, courtesy After watching 'Boy Meets World', a television series that chronicles the life of friends from middle school days to their marriage life, one thing kept ringing in my mind is how most men make mistakes in the gap between completion of high school and the "start of life" as most people call the transition. In the current set up, once a young man aged 17 or 18 completes high school, there is always gap of about one year before they can join college or college or university. With so much time on your hands, some try the few things they were always warned against. There others who form groups with their peers and spend days roaming in the neighbourhood and, eventually, try a few things like drugs and alcohol. Others take opportunity to try relationships with the opposite sex as this was banned while in school. But...

What sh2 billion can do for thirsty Kenyans - Marsabit dam

The Marsabit park vegetation The abandoned lodge I have made it my business to step in all the 47 counties before the end of the year and at this rate, i might just do that before Jamhuri day. Early in the month i was in Marsabit and two things caught my eye, the green vegetation you see as you drive through the county and more so Marsabit town, and the second is lack of fresh piped water in the town and its environs. Parking outside Equity Bank at the heart of the town, you will see carts pulled by donkeys ferring tens of jerricans for water vendors who are making a killing in the town. The foot bridge Water shortage in Marsabit has been such a nightmare that people can go for days without seeing a drop during drought. You will only get fresh water in very few places like the hotel we stayed in, Saku guest house. In my tour i realized most hospitality businesses are on the verge of closing because of the lack of water. On the second day...

Late Governor's PA Gakuru's story: Huduma Centre people told me the can't replace an ID for someone with no fingers

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...
