The Sunset that never falls into the valley


Kenya's political landscape is a sand artists' manipulation of sand grains on a lit and non-abrasive surface to one's own masterpiece only limited by imagination.

Convenience is a politicians best advantage and were it not for the inevitable celestial order that dips the sunset under the plains & valleys every twenty four hours, a new dawn could not be possible had a politician been at the switch.

A new dawn must come and a new dawn must give promise to tomorrow's sunset that it's skyline will not be obscured by smoke nor the air pelted by decibels of grieving souls mourning and lamenting. A new dawn must give the promise of hope, a gesture in that direction as a way forward to positive outcomes.

It is empirical for one leader to hold us all to ransom, nonetheless it is a greater evil when an entire electorate body abdicates it's mandate to solicited bargains of vested interests with no remorse nor promise that a new dawn is possible: a sunset that in effect prolongs the days hunger, pain and suffering.

Kenya will limp along into the sunset, and when the sun goes down, dawn will bring voices of hope and reason each instant this cycle repeats itself. A never ending quest for a just and equitable society is man's right by birth and so it is that Kenya's struggles will continue untill such a time.
