HE BELONGS TO SOMEONE ELSE

We met in a weird place and every week I saw you at least two times. We never spoke until after about 3 months, and we sort of just hit it off well. I was comfortable talking to you and being around you, I guess I told you too much crap(crap I should have kept to myself). You promised me you would be that friend I really needed, that was during our 3rd real conversation. I told you I was falling for you when you insisted for the truth( but I guess you already knew that), that was during our 6th real conversation.
A good friend of mine thinks there's some strong magnetism between me and relationships that can never, ever work. I think I agree...

LETTER TO MY BESTFRIEND

Dear Best Friend,

Hullo dearest, that is how I almost always began all our conversations. It has been a long four months, so much has happened, I wish I could talk to you about it. It is all my fault, I have to admit that to you, and to the world. How did we get here? How did I let us get to this point? I just hope we are not beyond repair.
Where do I begin? I miss you so much, you have always been such a big part of my life. I cannot even remember how we met, it is such a distant memory, what I can remember though, is that you were always there, and those were such beautiful memories. We introduced each other as Bff, because we promised each other friendship for the rest of our lives.
Again, where do I begin? I made so many promises, promises I did not keep, but I still have intentions to fulfill them some day. You were the only person who knew me, maybe not fully, but you were the only one who understood  me. It has been a long walk,

NIGHTMARES AND DARKNESS

She goes by the name of Nina, and she always tells people that she's more of a listener than a talker. This is her way of telling people to not expect too much talking from her,and then sadly too many people mistake this for shyness, arrogance, pride, some even mistake her as being dumb.
The turning point in her life is only recent, the point where she really grew up, but she never was a child to begin with, she always acted older than her age and looked older than she was. Now she sits in a solitary room with an invisible pen, writing material that only she can see. She looks back with part nostalgia and part sadness. The sadness isn't what she's feeling now, it is what she feels about the past. She let so many opportunities pass, she burnt so many bridges, she let go of all her friends, and she misses them dearly.
She goes through life alone, but not lonely, because at last, she finally found herself, found sanity, found contentment and found inner peace.
She had a nightmare today, and it keeps recurring. She struggles to wake up, and she struggles to stay asleep, both at the same time. Suddenly she gets out of it, she's wide awake now, a tear rolls down her cheek. She says a prayer, with so much conviction, she can feel the peace settling around her. She holds on to her faith, it is what makes her strong, she clutches on to her Bible, it is her pillar of strength.
She has always been afraid of the dark, she hates the dark. She is drifting off to sleep and then she has a weird last thought, before floating away into the night and into the darkness...

IS THE ICC SERVING ITS RIGHTFUL PURPOSE?

ICC headquarters, Hague, The Netherlands.

 The ICC has taken the form of H.E Mr. Uhuru and Mr. Ruto’s shadows. Everywhere their names are mentioned, the sore issue of the ICC also comes up. During the inauguration of H.E president Uhuru Kenyatta, a few speeches stood out and amongst them was Uganda’s president Yoweri Museveni’s speech. Using some very strong words, president Museveni criticized the ICC as a tool being used to drive the agenda of the west and to blackmail Africans. With regards to the ICC, Mr. Kenyatta indicated in his speech that he and his government shall not be bullied by other forces.

The sentiments of the two leaders are being echoed across the continent as people begin to wonder whether the court was designed for Africans only. So far only Africans have been indicted by the court among them being Kenya’s president and his deputy Mr. Uhuru and Mr. Ruto, former Liberian President Charles Taylor who was sentenced to a life imprisonment by the court and a warrant of arrest is out for Sudan’s president. We are not saying that the aforementioned are guilty or innocent, that is not ours to say. What we ask is this, are there no crimes against humanity being committed in non-African countries?

Kenyans and Africa is tired of being bullied, of being seen like we cannot handle and solve our own problems without ‘assistance’. There is talk of the African Union establishing its own court that will deal with cases of crimes against humanity involving Africans. It is a lot of people’s wish that this will come to be as the ICC has turned the search for justice into a platform for propagating the agenda’s of the western countries
