The Youth's Folly...

Being a youth in Kenya, can be the most fascinating thing..
We are better educated..
We understand our needs..our wants..
We have a pretty good idea on what ails our society..
Poverty, disease, ignorance...
And above all a tinge of megalomania!
Why...
When do we expect to take the reins and chart a course for this nation?
When will we re-build the down-trodden facilities, regain the trust that Kenyans had on National institutions, set pace for a future that we would like to bequeth our grandchildren?
Are we doing enough, or are we already complacent..
Are we singing the same tunes that our fathers sung..or
do we dare trod our own paths..
Where has our patience to nurture projects, to live by our own means, to be honest,
to judge with the brain and let the heart guide us?
We are failing this country..
With our dreams of magnanimity..
With our culture of dreaming from the couch..
With the haste we handle matters of salience..
With the zealotry we profess..
That's the Youth's Folly and its costing this country, Kenya.
