A Moment for A Kenyan in June 2024

We had a moment of silence during our Conveyancing class today and this made me actually feel the week, and the whole half an year, feel the bubble I've been in.

It's been quite draining and triggering thinking about the whole week amongst my own needs. How do I relate to all this, all the information, coming to terms with the lack of empathy of our elected, the lack of accountability with the appointed, the loss of lives of the brave, the cries of the wounded in soul, mind and body, and on and on.

That moment was unexpected but actually, made me relate myself to the whole week, to the cause and what the #RejectFinanceBill2024 fight is for.

For me and at first, was just following the multitude of the learned & more humane (who should not stop whistle-blowing, breaking down the law and giving infographics), then it actually made second sense, that it takes a lot of unreleased farts -if I may say- to just do nothing: physically picket, online sharing, financial backing, tune into news, or just that a moment of silence with a bunch of guys or better all and moreover, prayers.

The instability is mind-boggling, literally and metaphorically... and being a Christian in all this, it is well that the just live by faith but faith without action is truly dead. Let's not be of bad faith- selah.

SET APART

Hey Mr Mystery Man,

How could I know all about you

And again know nothing.


How could I not want to speak to you

And again want to hear your voice.


Hey - you over there,

How could you be such a mystery

When I share the same pillow with you.


How could you be such a wonder

When I give you a daily massage.

How could you be -

And again I cannot get enough of you.

HOW TO LOVE

Dear God,

How hurt I feel -

How betrayed -

How could love be so conditional?

How could love hurt so badly?


Dear God,

Remove this spite from my thoughts

Remove this anger from my heart

Remove all negativity that drives -

Me from you.


Dear God,

How could I love like you

How could I turn a blind eye

How could love be unconditional

How could love be honest?


Dear God,

Remove the hurt - replace it with healing

Remove the pain - replace it with peace

Remove the borders - replace it with your word.


Dear God,

Do not depart me -

Just teach me how to love,

Amen.
