I WAS BLIND NOW I SEE

torn between believing in myself,pleasing the world and failing.
torn between right decisions,sane decisions and humane decisions.

such is the state the young patriotic person in me is facing.
there has been so much hulabaloo about the political realm in Kenya
i have eschewed any form of engagement leaving it to my old folks
and maybe interested elder siblings.

the media has been largely involved and in as much as it is one of my influences i seemed less bothered to involve in any for political vyb. but something has changed.

a few months back when the constitution /referendum began its process i was bored and annoyed at the state of its taking over the media. i thought oh well,they make the rules,we follow ,we break them,get punished and life moves on .

until i realized what you don't know or identify with will harm you as much as it won hurt you.i realized its not about the present its about the future.its about waking up tomorrow and cursing the angels for waking me up.

its not about the party now its about the boring lonely nights tomorrow the ugly streets,injustices,inequality..its about a hurtful tommorrow living like animals ,filth and sadness.

i realized i hold the key to my tomorrow.how i live and love tomorrow is in my hands,head and heart.i then grabbed me a FREE copy of the draft constitution and believe me or not read it like a novel. i remember it was lying on a desk at the office but i felt drawn to it,i couldn't wait for some free time to catch up on my constitution read. so i was in traffic next thing and i proudly and passionately pulled out my copy of the constitution..its ok by now to be doubting my sanity this part..

i started reading the first few words and i couldnt help but pull out my pink highlighter pen. i started underlining word per word in hip hop terms i started lighting up punchline after another.

i would really like to know what the aged man seated next to me was thinking he seemed blowdried by me ..when it was time to pay i had to be tapped severally to get the hint.and the payman was also mortified by the sight. all i know i cared less then for all i knew i was reading the key to not using the PSV again.

as i read through i had many oh oh moments but i also had moments where i thought some people had lied to me i mean the way i knew some bits and clauses was actually not the way they put.i felt some bits were exaggerated and some others under rated.

all in all i feel now i am better placed to be make a decision.i am better placed at engaging in debates.i am better placed to clap or boo when my leader misinterprets or interprets a clause or portion of the draft.

my word to you reader,grab a FREE draft constitution take time read,interpret and be better placed to make a decision. jisomee jitambuie jiamulie now makes alot of sense
