The Calling

"I will return home to her - many centuries have I wandered -
And I will make my offering at the feet of my lovely mother:
I will rebuild her house, the holy places they raped and plundered,
And I will make it fine with black wood, bronzes, and terracotta,"

- Adapted from A Man of the People by Chinua Achebe

Think of the poor black mother as our Kenya; she waited so long for her infant son to come of age and comfort her and repay her for the years of shame and neglect of the colonial era.

Unfortunately, her son turned out to be a shameless politician out to rape and plunder even the little that she had left.

Is this fair, will we ever go forward?

The generation of our fathers has failed our poor mother, it is now up to us!

I believe this is one of those rare opportune moments in history when a country's hero comes forth, to be forever immortalised in song, dance and folklore for his/her achievements. Kenya needs a hero.

It is a calling you and I should answer. We must save Kenya
