• Let’s Save Kenya!

  Posted: January 29, 2008, 3:28 pm by mwari

  In my wildest nightmare, It never crossed my mind, That a day like the last thirty, Would ever dawn in Kenya. That was not for Kenya. Words fail, and though hoarse already, I have to scream from my little corner, Let’s save what’s left of Kenya. Nothing makes sense anymore, Kenya is not Kibaki or Raila, Kenya is you and I. Why are wiping out Kenya? Let’s [...]

• Numb

  Posted: January 28, 2008, 1:27 pm by mwari

  I have ran out of words, To air my thoughts and pleas, Nothing is left, but a numb emptiness, And Oh, it so tightly engulfs! I wish it were just but a nightmare, For then I’d wake up relieved. Alas, Not so. What’s more, it is too late! The place I call home is no more. My people once peaceful, Will not see eye to eye, “We were pretending”,  Is what [...]

• Rest In Peace

  Posted: January 27, 2008, 7:05 pm by mwari

  Today was your appointed time, From us to depart, And from it all. We will cherish the good we shared, And even what seemed not so good. And though we will see you no more, A part of you will always be with us. For you touched us in many ways, You were ours, and we were yours, Now you are His’. My father [...]

• This is no way to live!

  Posted: January 25, 2008, 3:38 pm by mwari

  I am unable to move on. Just when I begin to think that things are getting better, some news pops up to spoil! Earlier in the day, I was exchanging SMSs with my sister. She is in Johannesburg and I am in Zurich, and she was giving me a ‘moment by moment update’ of chaos in Nakuru [...]

• Now we can say ‘Happy New Year’

  Posted: January 24, 2008, 5:46 pm by mwari

  If this BBC  piece bears any truth, we can now open the champagne to usher in the not-so-new year. I can’t believe today is the 24th of Jan. We’re nearing the end of the first month of a new year. Ordinarily, most will have by now set new resolutions/goals/targets/milestones/or whatever you call yours; even though we’ll [...]

• Are they willing, or is it just a gimmick?

  Posted: January 23, 2008, 12:20 pm by mwari

  Now that Kofi Annan is in the country with his team of eminent persons, will a solution for Kenya be found? Why am I not optimistic? Why do I think it is just a gimmick? Both Kibaki and Raila together with their teams are still playing hard. There hasn’t been any indication that any side will [...]

• Really? Then let’s wait and see…

  Posted: January 21, 2008, 5:08 pm by mwari

  …”How can Jesus Christ and his disciples sit in a committee chaired by Judas Iscariot?” … ‘Figuratively spoken’ notwithstanding! Even if you don’t fear God, at least respect the God of your people (and of your opponents). None of us is mighty enough to dare mock God. That is the God that many of us ran to when the [...]

• Is this it?

  Posted: January 20, 2008, 10:34 am by mwari

  Ok, so the election was flawed. So, let’s rip the country apart, let the poor kill each other,  burn some, slaughter others and let some die under the bullet. And while at it, focus on one tribe. Burn their houses, kill them, harvest their maize.  In short, let’s do all we can to flatten everything we ever built. Go [...]

• If only God would speak…

  Posted: January 17, 2008, 2:15 pm by mwari

  Many Kenyans will agree on these few points: Unlike any other General Election in Kenya, the one just ended was hotly contested. Rigging was done both by PNU and ODM The ECK slept on their job, and by the time they woke up, Mwai Kibaki had been sworn in as the president of Kenya. Some Kenyans are disatisfied and feel [...]

• I was just thinking…

  Posted: January 14, 2008, 5:19 pm by mwari

  Try as I might, I am unable to write other ‘nicer’ posts. I am unable to tear myself away from the goings-on in Kenya. I have therefore allowed myself some time to go on writing about Kenya, for a while. I suppose, like one with a bad stomach-ache, I need to vomit it all out, to clear my [...]

• Wakenya Pamoja, Good Stuff!

  Posted: January 14, 2008, 12:12 pm by mwari

  I could not resist reposting this, first posted here. It is good to see these talented Kenyans lending their voices in song, for the sake of our country!  Let’s keep hope alive…

• Miscellaneous

  Posted: January 11, 2008, 1:34 pm by mwari

  1. There is the truth as you and I probably know it, and then there is that other truth and also this truth.  These truths have invoked in me a myriad of feelings. I have felt like I should do the following: Shut up- and let the knowledgeable speak Get informed, and then make informed narratives Give up, akin to to [...]

• Mum, what is a tribe?

  Posted: January 9, 2008, 6:16 pm by mwari

  …is the question my daughter keeps asking me. And I am lacking fitting words to explain to this young Kenyan. That we have lived away from Kenya for a couple of years, means that our mother tongue is nearly abandoned. Which I at times feel ashamed about. In essence my children are Kenyan, and all [...]

• The Return of Mwari wa David…

  Posted: January 8, 2008, 1:05 pm by mwari

  I know, I know…I did not say goodbye. I did not hint that I was wrapping up my previous blog. And for those who asked(thanks for asking!), I did not even save the content for you. It is all gone. I will explain all that later. I promise.  For now, let me join other Kenyans of [...]

• Who will save Kenya?

  Posted: January 2, 2008, 6:39 pm by mwari

  Where are the voices of the Kenyan leaders? Where are the Bishops, the Cardinals, and anyone else who is looked upon as a leader? Where are the voices that will be heard at this bleak time in the history of our country? Who will quell the fires of violence that have rocked our otherwise peaceful nation? Who [...]

Blah blah blah

Fish cakes

Alas a fish cake.

Yet more fish cakes

Guess what ... yeah ... fish cakes.

The end of the fish cakes
