Peace and Stability, Still Our Dream | Trifter

The country is now green with hopes of good future harvest, not only in farming but also in restoring our nation-wide peace and stability. Here is a message to all Kenyan citizens at heart.

Through the reshuffle of politics, and keeping the game, as it was yester-years, we are going nowhere. Change in leadership is what brings about real change. Before these, let me highlight a few things that I think most of us have forgotten, but are very important facts in politics in our country -Kenya.

My Body, a Kiln of Fire.

Oh I wish medics could work,
The pain, I can't stand,
It is as if I'm on fire,
The kiln of suffering,
That is how I feel.

So bad, my days are,
Missed a lot to keep fit,
Abandoned what I love,
Still, not spared by the pain.

Do I have to endure more of these,
But till when?
My happiness is gone,
Just agony is what I have now.

Sleeping in pain,
Waking up in pain,
Dry eyes.. loveless and sorrowful,
Waiting for a better day.

My mind cannot think,
I have nothing to write,
Just listening for the pain,
That only me can feel.

I hope for a Better day,
Painless tomorrow!
Where happiness is,
As for now, just pain!


 

Nurturing An Ambition

By ambition, we refer to human desire to accomplish a certain goal in life.

Personally, I believe there is no life without an ambition. These can be true words for each one of us if we think over why we are alive and what expected of us. 

Life is very simple: As long as we find our centre of gravity, utilize its balance and let our ambition be our driving force. No failure would rob us success when we know it exist.

You and I have read a lot about great leaders and inventors. Their humble start- up could be unbelievable, but their accomplishment is what we should be interested in: learning from their struggles, endeavors and risks in order to maximize on our efforts for success.

Before that, we have a challenge laid out by our dreamy ambition. This dream is visionary, but for us to reach for our destined a goal, we have to keep up the fight -defeating all odds that may result from our struggles- and patient enough to avoid giving in to failure.  

Sometimes it may need us to volunteer for experience. This is the good way of gaining exposure to more skills and knowledge through sharing of ideas. Being close to people who share alike dreams, practicing and learning through experience helps one to know all pros and cons of an ambition, hence forging for a better way to avoid a backlash.

Another thing that can help accomplish our ambitious dreams is to use the internet. Here, it is good to understand that most of what we think of have been fulfilled somewhere. By researching, we may find relevant materials on the internet that can be very helpful in dealing with our indented project.

Even though some personal ambitions may not be achievable due to unavoidable circumstances, example: resources to finance the project, time for working on, etc , having patience, good research, great like-minded team and a will to succeed could make a difference. 

Believe in something even when no one else does. That is the will, and whenever there is a will… there is a way!

End Of The Animal Kingdom

By then, leadership in animal kingdom was reserved for Lions, even brought the slogan- King of the Jungle. Other animals in big cats’ family- Cheetahs, Leopards and Tigers- given ministerial seats as the remaining animals were civil servants and field workers.

All animals led their lives under rules governing the Kingdom. Punishment for lawbreakers, lazy workers, corrupt officials and cunning animals were normal occurrences and most animals agreed to such kind of treat.

Because of its vast and complicated nature of the Kingdom, it was difficult for leaders to pass judgement to those who infringe guidelines. Moreover, judgements were limited to the size of an animal in question because, a mouse’s punishment was not equal to that of an elephant. In this case, most small animals went scot-free.

Political wrangles and rebellion:

In a particular day, King Lion announced new rules in addition; he demanded every animal species to appoint a spokes leader. These were measures to keep informed also as a mean of eradicating rebels in the Kingdom.

It happened that, cats avoided King’s call and did not appear in the meeting. Only the appointed ministers were present, later sacked from their positions by an angry Lion King.

Rebellious cat’s secret meeting insider revealed the formation of a coalition government lead by the Tigers. The news spread like bush fire to all animal communities, Lions too. It was a celebration for some animals but others proved loyalty to the Lion King.

Tension spread in the Kingdom, no animal had ever seen an angry Lion King. ‘Grreeeee, Grreeee,’ the King Roared. All animals took caver. Fear, suspense, hopelessness were only feelings  almost all animals experienced.

A messenger went round the Kingdom delivering the King’s last chance of loyalty, or to face the worst.  

As immunity from the King’s wrath, almost all-herbivorous type went to the Lion King’s side, but the remainder stood on ground with their rebellion.

Split of the Animal Kingdom:

Upon this division, war broke out between the King’s loyal subjects and the rebels. Since, herbivorous animals fear wars; they provided war supplies and food for the fighters. However, food became so scarce that they could hardly get any, but the demand for food from both warring sides intensified.

Having no any other means of getting food, the carnivorous ones started attacking and killing herbivorous type for food. This infuriated the herbivorous animals but they had nothing to do. There inferiority made them an easy prey –no power to defend themselves-, they had only three options- the stronger to fight, the taller to warn and the weak to run- but their main defense was to walk in large groups.

This is the reason all big cats family fight among themselves, the lions roar when angry and hungry and lastly this is why the herbivorous animals are hunted for food & always mingle amongst themselves in large groups in Maasai Mara.

Balance Of Nature

The balance of nature brings harmony in all inhabitants on Earth. There is joy in nature outlook –blooming flowery plants, bright & happy birds of the air, sweet smelling scents of flowers, cool nice shades for people and animals- as life grows from boring days to lovely environment that every living organism enjoys living in. 

Changing weather can be equivalent to life we live. Sometimes weather goes cold, wet or snowy, other time it gets warm and enjoyable, just like human moods –sad and gloomy to joy and relaxed moments-. This is awesome for nature lovers! However, we may feel uncomfortable with too much hot or cold weather. 

This comes to my piece of reminder, in a poetic tone:

Hope At Last, Isn’t It So Lovely?  29^th Dec, 2005.

Sitting under the shade,

Sheltering myself from scotching sun,

Yes! The drought is gonna end soon,

However, I just wonder when.

Winds blowing across the field,

Somehow making the day a bid cool,

Promising the arrival of a wet season,

However, I just wonder when.

As if the message is being delivered by wind,

Just like a letter of orgies,

The message is very vivid,

Somewhat, I’m hinted when.

Dark clouds seems so far,

Scattered like Baobabs in Sahara,

Wow! That brings hope for rains,

In a few days, that is when!

In some countries, there are no extremely cold (Snowy) seasons. Like in Kenya, we only experience cold and wet or hot and dry seasons. Nevertheless, balance of nature has so much to teach us, and it fun supporting nature in an attempt to bring back its former glory. BTW, it likes playing ‘Tit-for-tat’ game.
