The Scribbler In Me

I have an old school side of that can't keep off pen and paper, I write down whatever comes across my mind and at times it ends up as short stories or even poetry which I have to confess may not be at par with what you are used to reading in your literature class or even the many books that echo the poetic world. So I went ahead; let go and let flow in the world unknown and this is what was born.

PEN & PAPER

Pen and paper caressing each other brutally

With no thought or emotion, they go on

Oblivious of the person spewing their views through them

Used up for personal gains

Littering the desks and walls of houses, hallways and streets

Pens, so beautiful and classy

Bleeding their all out of love for our work to come to birth

And later tossed in the bins with parts missing

Of decent burials to best seller books

Paper, so vital we can’t do without

Not even the paperless classrooms threatens your intended death

So resourceful

Gracing noticeboards, bags, bookstores, libraries…

You are such a school

Torn, burned, dumped in stinky pits

Happy ending much?

Whatever happened to recycling?

(IT ALL STARTS SOMEWHERE)

To all writers, students, and all other paper and pen consumers.

INTERLUDE

Its the month of June, one of favorite times of the year because it symbolizes happiness to me. It spells holidays, fun, love and a new beginning like no other month does, not even December and all its hype could make me this wild. I kinda go through some sort of mutation, I get a new inner me! First it starts with one of my cool and awesome childhood friends birthday and then my amazing and smart bruv's birthday Peloz, he is so cool I can never ask for more!  It also is summer time in abroad and you know that its so much fun when you have loads of cash and the right crowd to spend it with, that is my family but since I am in Nairobi this time I have to spend it in the dusty and chilly Daystar University Athi River campus environs with the wild animals and friends around! 

In my busy schedule, I end up trying to make my life fun if not normal by doing what I feel like so as to make this month memorable if not the usual amazing, that involves swimming, a little partying, reading, writing and making good food; oh! yes! I cook! For a first, this must be way too much info but hey! expect bits and pieces of my life in the coming posts. I may be a rough talker but I sure have a soothing side portrayed in my gait and talk!
