In the Dark Stands a Man

From East to West the night was very dark,

And in the dark stood a motionless mark,

The neighbor’s dog hesitated not to bark,

For in the dark stood a foreign mark

Oh no he is an inexperienced night runner,

The youngest son of village the charcoal burner,

For he know not the how and the manner,

Don’t ask me why for I can't even mummer.

In the dark stood a man fully naked,

A perfect indication of how they are waked,

Despite this to some they are more than loved,

But not to me for I abhors this act.

To and fro they run and run,

Stealthily and quietly for they believe in yes we can,

With no celebrations of a race greatly won,

And this is why they are troublesome men.

  

That man in the dark is a member of the society,

The movement of the dogs does not affect his anxiety,

For they claim knowledge of the topography is a necessity,

And that man in the dark is confirming the reality.

That man in the dark is not yet a father,

Neither does he know the love of a mother,

For twenty years they haven't seen one another,

But that man in the dark is more than a bother.

FROM STARS TO STRESS!

Years have come and gone,

Day by day children are born,

With no serious trophy being won,

From Harambee stars to Harambee stress!

In the stadiums danger larks,

With players from Kariobangi Sharks,

Now tell me what the stars lacks,

From Harambee stars to Harambee stress!

Okumbi has tried his best,

To get the players to their best,

And provide results perceived to be the best,

From Harambee stars to Harambee stress!

In Guinea Bissau they saw dust,

Even though the event is already past,

But in our minds it will always last,

From Harambee stars to Harambee stress! 

Though it pains but thanks to sportpesa,

Who after the match made me visit m-pesa,

And even dreamt of recharging my visa,

From Harambee stars to Harambee stress!

'Team change' is now helpless,

With nights to him now becoming sleepless,

And being in public now becoming needless,

From Harambee stars to Harambee stress!

I miss Harambee stars with Mahamud Abbas,

Guys who could transverse the continent by bus,

And the outcome will always be good results,

From Harambee stars to Harambee stress!

Kenyans now believe the stars will proceed nowhere,

Even after recruiting players from everywhere,

Their underperformance to me is like malware,

From Harambee stars to Harambee stress!

As promised earlier, the other pieces will be published in the course of the week.
To know more a bout KUP miss, Lucy Mutungi, keep in touch with me for the same.
I'll also be publishing the first article a bout my dad titled "THE DREAMS OF MY FATHER"
This is a big one and you can't miss!

WABWIRE IS A SCHOLAR!

He is a flourishing educationist,
always claiming to be a journalist,
while he is a development communication specialist,
a typical poverty reduction strategist.

Wabwire is his name,
struggling to get to the list of fame,
and not on the list of shame,
as some ideots always claim.

He is a man of great stature,
an original of God's creature,
sometimes bragging to be a preacher,
but a poor footballer unlike Daren Fletcher.

He is finally a respected scholar,
as flamboyant as a seasonal flora,
with ideas that can never be a magazine filler,
salute him for supporting the education pillar. 

Coming SOOOOOON!

GO YEA, SERVE THE PUBLIC

The members of The Kisii University Students Union (KSUSU) who were triumphant in the past election are set to be sworn in today.

The swearing in will usher the young flamboyant politicians into a new world - The world of serving the general students body.

While speaking to the University's Deputy Vice Chancellor (ASA), Prof. Maurice Amutabi, he reiterated that the delay in swearing in was as a result of the pending petition cases that were still being heard and judgement given.

About six cases of election malpractices were being investigated by the election tribunal, one of which was successfully nullified.

The nullified electoral seat was the Nairobi campus gubernatorial seat.

QUOTE OF THE DAY

Most of the heart breaks results when someone is seeking approval not love. The destruction though is greater than during the separation/divorce stage!
