Of thieving State Officials, Failing War on Terror and a Clueless President

Of thieving State Officials, Failing War on Terror and a Clueless President

By Ooko Victor

Any concerned citizen waking up in Kenya today would cast a dejected soul at the disturbing goings-on envisaged in our country with every dawning day. In the middle of all political rhetoric and faction loyalty, three things stand out clearly for anyone, caring and objective enough to see.

The thieving by State Officials is rising with every minute this administration spends at the…

Decision 2017 Not all about the Money

Decision 2017 Not all about the Money

By Ooko Victor

15 Billion: the legally sanctioned upper limit for campaign funds for a single political party in Kenya which translates to about 0.24% of our GDP (as at 2015). Never mind that there are 2 leading rival political factions with the mathematical capacity to land the top seat, campaign funds notwithstanding. This is proof of just how expensive the price of ‘democracy’ in Kenya could…

The Shades of Love

The Shades of Love

Love The potent 4 lettered word Yet still attractive to the attentive Enough to get heads rolling And minds boggling

When sincere, it is a joy When shared it nurtures hope Belief that we are valued We are appreciated And that someone understands

When feigned, love hurts It is exploitative and manipulative It shatters dreams and disrupts futures It is a double-edged sword That just won’t stop…

He is Not Alejandro

He is Not Alejandro

He is What you’ve got.

He’s not Alejandro He’s just but a regular guy With a regular heart. That fault-full guy Whose closest brush with satisfaction Was when you gave him your time One his dime could not afford.

He’s not Alejandro His eyes are always bloodshot Even before he thinks of the tot. Blue-hazel eyes to him Belong to the aliens of yonder. In his presence Your daydreams no longer suffice.

The Love in the Stars

The Love in the Stars

A dedication to someone missed and kept at heart.

If stars could speak I would thrive in nightfall Seek out every book With tricks on record For I would please the stars If it meant keeping you here

If stars could talk Then I would miss you less Every twinkling radiance Would be a picture of you And every shooting star A granted wish

Under the stars we met More than a probable bet In the ambiance

My Blogging Experience-The Second Anniversary

My Blogging Experience-The Second Anniversary

I still can’t believe that it has been two years since I started blogging! Well, it is and I must admit, time flies! In that period,I may have developed a mustache here or a goatee there though I try my best to keep it trimmed…just as much as I try to keep my ego in check. It however won’t hurt for me to say am proud of myself.

Blogging requires patience, resilience and everything else that…

A Cry of the Unborn.

I was nowhere Before you made me Maybe an idea Whose time wasn’t ripe But now am here Should I call you mom?

From that moment of passion Made of love and lust From desire and the crave I received my summons And now that am here Should I call you mom?

I formed in your womb A being of your being I smiled and kicked I wriggled and cried I was one with you Should I call you mom?

Your voice calmed me…

Lovestoned

My heart is in pain Am all alone Even though you lay close to me The gap, the distance; So overwhelming Yet I can afford to smile I can afford To drink away to my troubles

At first it was suspicion Now a certainty At first I could assume Now I can see I was always here Where you never wanted me Now that I know I can drink away to my troubles

Love never escaped your lips The sincerity was scarce Y…
