I love art, and even in times of war, I cant help it, even if its just for a glance,,,,however today I wanted to check out Maich, just wanted to be sure he is fine, the last time I heard from him, he was taking route 11 to D. It wasnt that akward when I met him...i guess the first thing he asked of me, jokingly was...wewe bado unaishi?
And that beautiful smile of mine couldnt help it, but to hug him, and sit on the stone. Hell..... why lie..... he asked me how Kibich was I told him I dont know, I had a booked space at Jamhuri grounds...on a light note...that isnt true...but it was all in a light moment.
Then I asked myself, which part of Maich other than the him that I saw last year, is ethnic. Am i ethnic......am still me..Tomax. Nothing less nothing more. But I know that many of us will argue on the point of , sometimes when big issues come into play, small people have to pull up there socks..... and live up to it. My life is small, its scopes are limited, and I tend to put in mind, seriously....that the most basic thing for me is to eke out a living, make the most out of today, and tomorrow will still get me here trying.......
All those displaced person been asked to vacate the temporary camps could be the Otieno you know, the Kalonzo wa Duka, the Macharia wa Makaa, Mama Mboga, Roba wa Kinyozi, Jackie wa Salon ya Best woman..... it could just be your next neighbour...and after all this has been said, and presumably all this violence end, love it or hate, we will be forced to nurse the wounds and most certainly live with the scars! A rebirth of ethnicity, and it will follow us for a long time to come..... just last year we were on the road to freedom, now the achievements of five years have melted into selfishness, and the greed of a few individuals, the top cream of the political class.
The people have a voice, and the voice is the vote, when that voice is stolen, dont expect diplomatic relations to bring it back. Whoever stole that voice owes us an apology, but because we are still involved with establishing who is the thief...cant the top cream give the people the voice back. Lets head back to the ballot, if we decided then, we can decide again, so that we guard with honour the right, the ONLY RIGHT, that Maich, Kalonzo, Oti, Shiko, Chepkwony, Kemunto, Omanga, Emukole, Mwende, Amadi, Awuor, Okembo, let those who think they have anything to solve......if anyone of them is a true son of this Nation...lets give the voice back to the people, let the people decide, because if we dont 5 years will be a little longer....and too late in the day to correct the current situation.
