WHAT IF

What if I wasn't born What if history knew me not What if God hadn't thought of me And giveth me not, Life Then I wouldn't have to worry Of the many nights I sleep with a rumbling stomach Then I wouldn't have to worry Of the countless nights I lie bare in the cold Uncertain of the morning's glory What if I didn't exist Then I will not have to cry When the lights on me shall dim When the curtains shall fall When the sun shall sink And leave with me No hope of life   What if I hadn't been sired Then I wouldn't have to worry When age shall creep in on me And I wouldn't be scared When on the embankments of death I shall stand What if o oh Mighty One Away from me You took this yoke of suffering Then I wouldn't cry I wouldn't worry And I wouldn't be scared Save me the grief. @oiraqaleb

Ten years ago,a time like today at the Harambee office steps stood two towering political figures. For the same cause like today,the two had put on brave faces to tell the esteemed Kenyan compatriots that peace was paramount dispute their acute political schism; that death and mayhem was not the path to lead. President Kibaki and Right Honourable Raila Odinga shook hands and exchanged grins in the full glare of cameras and told the world that they had buried their long lived political arch rivalry. Peace, in the end, prevailed after clashes that had lain our beloved country on its death bed. A decade later,at the very same Harambee office steps stand two enigmas. Gentlemen without whom our history would be void; President Kenyatta and Raila Odinga. They called a truce to avert our good country from a despicable crisis. They stood to live true to the late Tom Mboya's philosophy that; "It comes a time when we ought to relinquish our personal ambitions and step over our egos f
