Into The Deep Forest She is sitting on the slightly wet ground,shivering from the ice cold air hanging around her. The wind is blowing loudly but the obstruction caused by the gigantic podo trees cause a whistling sound to the winds. The wind is penetrating her ears undeterred causing an excruciating pain to her eardrums which are about to burst out of the pain. Mosquitoes having not fed for a long time are enjoying the delicacy the gods have brought their way and they are doing everything to eat and save for the days(which are commoner than today) when the gods will not light their paths. When she feels the uncovered parts of her skin,there are contours of leper-like lumps which have been left by the hungry insects. All these,is in the bottom of the barrel of her expectations. She tries to open her eyes a little wider to see if she can be able to manouver her way out of this God forsaken forest but she cannot see anything other than some humanlike shadows which seem to move with...

KIIL MI KWIK He sat there,contemplating what had brought him here,where misers.... It is around midnight.Some few minutes past 11 p.m that he walked aimlessly in the ghostly town where no life seemed to thrive at that hour of the night.On that particular day,to add to his miseries,the weather had for no reason decided to be gruesomely cold.Cold air was biting and eating in to his skin as he walked in short-quick steps to his destination.In his mind,it seemed an entirety to him.He took so much time to reach where he wanted to. As he got into the heart of the town, a few people could be seen moving about,everyone minding their own business.He tried to figure out what kind of people they might be.At that hour of the night,he told himself,the only people who were active were call girls,thugs and the police.However,when he closely looked at some of these people,no one seemed to fit in any of the categories. Lost in ...
The Demise Of A Beloved. A photo showing a lonely dejected man A visitor that is unwanted and loathed by anyone of sound mind. A strong Wind that brings even the mightiest of kings and queens down. The only thing that makes the rich and the poor equal.Death! And for some moment, i thought about everything and for once in my life i realized that nothing ever made sense. Yes, i dont mean that I've been understanding everything that happens, i know there's been time when i didn't know what to do and i couldn't explain a situation; but the good news is i didn't realize that i needed to understand a thing. But now i have to. And i know that come what may, i must make sense of this situation. But how am i to do so when the only person that made sense of everything in my life lacks? How am i even supposed to put everything together and make a move? No! It doesn't make sense. It's her image that i have known ever...
Of a Man who slaughtered a Chick As we walked in to the compound to know the cause of the loud screams that we had heard from far and wide,we found people scattered all over the compound talking in whispers.The mood in that typical African homestead was sombre and would have confused the Devil and make him flee. Women seemed more moved by whatever it was that had happenned.In the falling dusk,from a far,one could tell that all was not well in that compund. John Havoc was well known in Thungururu village for his generosity and his piety.He was short of words,a man who could seemingly not hurt the smallest of insects that tread on this world.When he spoke,both men and women,boys and girls,paid heed to his words and longed to fetch a thing or two from his well of wisdom.He was a man anyone could hardly disregard. John had a good taste when it came to women.When he was chosing his partner for the 'rest' of his life,he made sure that he went for the best in the village.Al...
I Will Love You, Now and Forever As her body dangled from that tree,lifeless and worthless,it silently told of all the tribulations it had gone through when it was alive.Even in death,its' face glowed and its' shape was as attractive as ever.It's unfortunate that tough tides of life had made her believe that she was a nobody,that she would never succeed at anything, even in love that she had so much tried to give her all. It is funny h ow people promise to love each other forever in this world where life itself is temporal-it does not last forever.Someday when her blood was both fresh and hot,she longed for a man that would take away all her worries,love her for who she was rather than who she was not.She longed to sleep and wake up beside a barely clothed man who she would call a husband.As time flew the man she longed for finally came her way.A good looking,well built, fairly tall and light in complexion.A man who would drive the current generation of slay ...
The Plight of the Boy Child A photo showing a dejected boy sitting all by himself crying An endangered species is what this precious person has become or rather has the society made made him.During the hay days,bearing a boy child made the poor of the poor have a voice among men.This was so because the boy was entrusted with ensuring the posterity and the prosperity of one's lineage and hence the community at large.Bearing a son was such a prestigious momentus that made the parents of girls' become a laughing stock.So much that a husband would divorce a wife who would bear him no sons or marry a second,a third,a fourth....until he would get a son.Sarah in the Bible would cry her heart out asking God to bless her with a child,and not just a child but a boy child.This barely highlights how important this endangered species was considered important then. Time changes and...
