Kenyan Pundit

By Erick

About making it personal, I’ll borrow a phrase from Half n Half:

I hate it that I saw a pic of a man carrying a little girl to safety, and was shaken. “There but the Grace of God go I”.

I hate it that the extremists are now holding the rest of us hostage, and now all of us are guilty until proved innocent.

I hate it that PEOPLE ARE DYING and all our “leaders” are doing is talking, talking…. Where is the leadership? Where is the action?

I hate it that in the next few elections, many of us will say “what’s the use of voting?”.

I hate it that when I hear rumor-as-fact comments from fellow Kenyans, all I do is roll my eyes. When I feel like shouting “Are you listening to yourself? Do you know how ridiculous you sound?”

I hate it that my childhood memories of South C are good, yet this girl’s innocence is gone.

I hate it that I have an “I hate it” list
