Always Watching


(Michelle Marielle Wright Blog-Post)


“Did you see that? Did you see that?” Exclaimed Ivy.

“See what?” Asked Chantelle.

“That brick was totally falling for my head.”

“Yes. I did see it fall. It is the reason why we were trying to run away.”

“You didn’t see it change course?”

“What are you talking about?”

“It was going to fall on my head, but it missed.”

“Yes it missed, because we were running.”

“Come on Chantelle, you must have seen it?”

“Listen Ivy, I am glad and happy we escaped the falling brick unhurt, but I am not following what you are insinuating.”

“It was my dad.”

“Really? I am sorry to remind you, but your dad died 5 years ago.”

“Yes. I know that. I mean my dad is watching over me.”

“You mean like Superman?”

“Stop being funny. No. More like my guardian angel.”

“What makes you say that?”

“The falling brick.”

“OK, but we were running.”

“Last week when I going home some thieves were following me, just when they stopped me they decided to change course on their own.”

“Maybe they saw something white on top of your head and ran. Hahaha.”

“Hahaha. Very funny. The other day there was an accident on my way to school. As the crashed car came towards me, it veered off and hit a street light pole.”

“Looks like you have been having some exciting time in your life.”

“I am telling you it’s my dad.”

“Yeah. Sure. Let’s go to lunch before another miracle happens, like me fainting from hunger.”

They start walking away, but ivy stops and looks into the sky. “Thank you dad.” With that she runs after Chantelle.

It is my child

(all photos taken from google.co.ke) (www.clipartbest.com) Gerald is seated sipping his drink slowly. He is admiring the house, trying to remember the many graceful memories he has had the past two year. However, it is time to call it quits. He has to move on, somehow. Sally comes in and seats besides him and notices something is off. “What is wrong Gerald?” Gerald breathes in and out. He picks up three papers from the table and hands them to Sally. “We need to talk Sally.” He looks at her trying to be as gentle as possible. “I am sorry Sally. It is over between us. I need to go take care of my baby.” There is a brief pause. “Ati, what? What did you just say Gerald? Am hearing you right? You want to leave me? Why?” Gerald can see she is becoming hysterical. He was not sure how to break it to her, but he felt telling it to her face would have been easier, how wrong he was. “It’s Milly. She was pregnant when I left her and now she has my son; one year old...

It's nothing new

(Bully Fanon website) It is quite a shame that Alliance has to be in the news for the wrong reasons. Usually they are in it, shouting and praising the form fours who had left the previous year for the ‘ A ’ s they brought to the school. To some it is a new phenomenon that students are beating students, but to me it is not. I went to a so called ‘ bush ’ high school. It is however famous in the part of the county it hails from. Here, beating of students by fellow students was a common thing during my time. It was almost routine. To make it worse, once you were beaten by the prefects they took you to the teachers who also beat you. Of course they were not using sticks only to beat their fellow students, but anything they found. Those who were forwarded to the teachers were usually those who had resisted the beating. The teachers also found out that sticks were ineffective and felt the need to use their fists to correct the errors of the student. I am not writing th...

Men, we need to wake up

(all photos courtesy of Google). The world is evolving. Time is changing. Women are gaining power. Men are seated, watching, waiting for their turn. In the 90s and early 2000s all campaigns were directed at ‘empowering the women’ Do not get me wrong, women were mistreated and suffered under the tyranny of men and their egos. UNICEF created the International Day of the Girl to help end the circle of violence against adolescent girls. It is celebrated on the 11 th of October annually. Education was the major concern and center of debates, and the United Nations felt that it had serious impacts on human and economic aspects of society. Girls worldwide were forced to cook, clean and do other house hold chores while their male siblings went to school and received care and attention from parents. Girls were seen as a curse while boys were seen as a blessing. Men felt proud having a boy while mistreating the poor mother for having a girl. Something needed to ...
