BEAUTIFUL ONES ARE YET TO BE BORN

How would you define the word beautiful in your own terms? Well the dictionary tells us that beautiful refers to something or someone attractive and possesses charm. It could also be used to refer to something excellent, clear and so much more.

Beautiful ones are yet to be born. This is a very well re known phrase in the whole world but what beauty was the person coming up with this phrase referring to. Was it the physical appearance of someone or something or was it the inner beauty that only one amongst ten people can recognise.

Most of us tend to go with the physical beauty which is also good because more and more beauties are being born. At sixteen, these chicks and dudes start moving  around; chicks swaying their so called hips side to side, in the name of "cat walk" and the dudes walking as if wearing some spring shoes of which I call it the "lame walk" with their trousers sagged as low as bellow their flat ironed behinds. Does this last long? It only takes some countable years when the ladies now start swaying their bellies. No more being called like chickens or cats on your way to town. It's not like the callers died or what, no. Some beauties have now taken over and the once called hot chick is now the cold two in one "mama" to be. And the cycle never breaks. Beautiful ones keep coming and going.

Keeping that aside, God blessed us with this beautiful country with millions of beautiful people in it. Beautiful environment with abundant resources that a human being would need to survive. "Beautiful and great leaders" that some of us always look upon. All in all my question here is, do we know how to use all these beauties? Do we really appreciate their existence?

Everything seem to be sarcastic. Living in a society full of lies is one of the things we Kenyans go through. But what do we eventually do about it? We keep entertaining this by listening to these lies. We are always blindfolded by all the sweet things they tell us. If every person in this country could be thinking the way I do then this would be the most beautiful country. We keep giving people employment and later on start complaining. Were you forced to employ him or her? Of course you were not. There's no room for complaining since you listened to them and decided that they'll be the ones. All you have to do is make things right with the available resources that we have even if you regret why you employed them. After all the choice was yours.

Why do we have to keep loosing prominent people who seemed to be the only ones that would one day make this country a better place? Why loose a hundred plus young and innocent souls who happened to be the future leaders of this country? All these happen, we mourn for a few days and life goes on. Not realizing the anguish that the affected families are in. But who is to blame? We keep doing the same mistakes.

How do you just decide to take an oath and start taking away innocent lives. This is not humanity. Beautiful people would never do this. On the contrary, when we deeply look into the matter, we'll find that they have all the reasons to take the oath. We keep killing ourselves for reasons that we together with our leaders can come together and get rid of.

Security begins with me. Something that has been spoken over and over again by almost everyone. We have done it. But what of our officers who ensures everyone's security in this nation. We can never blame them if they became reluctant in their job. This is because there's no way you can give an officer Ksh2,500 instead of Ksh12,500 that was agreed on and expect the same officer to refuse taking a bribe of Ksh50,000 to allow illegal weapons enter the country.

All these did not start happening the other day, it has been there. No matter how hard we try we always fail to get rid of such kind of things. Kenya will never be a corruption free country if Kenyans are not given what they deserve. They'll always look for means. This is the ugliness that is being passed on from generation to generation. It is upon you and i to decide on what we really want for this country in the next fifteen years. Beautiful people keep coming but they get spoiled on the way which led me to saying that beautiful ones are yet to be born. They'll always be born but they'll never survive in these harsh surroundings.

  1. huh. according to me, a woman's beauty is when she shows me her mind, not her boobs/booty.

    just to add, I think ignorance and selfishness is what is destroying our communities. Not to forget nepotism which adds to corruption.
    I love the article.

  2. Sweet words, I could almost eat them. Truth be told corruption is all a cycle it starts with denial of ones privilages and then one finds means to sort themselves out. Fair and justice can be a good place for Kenyans to start fighting corruption.
