So, the other day, I went to church, and this is what I see.
A couple of local politicians get to give their tithe ahead of me.
Why? Because they're the people every man with no valid dreams wants to be?
I see them driving around in their big cars telling me to go get a degree.
Even without a degree, I know for a fact that these guys only help themselves and not me.
And what about my aunt who was promised a fruit stand? She's still jobless and a mother of three.
Still, her three kids look up to their mum and fully believe in her.
The mum, on the other hand, looks up to the liar in a suit who stole her money just to have a V8 car.
Instead of trying to pass a law in the "thieves house" or, as you say, the parliament, he's drinking in a bar.
5 years ago, he was sitting with me under a tree lying about development.
Guess who's sat in an office and who's still sat under the tree in embarrassment.
But still, we'll cast our votes for him. I guess Kenyans don't know the meaning of a failed experiment.
