Dissent

My dear Kenyans

Please do not shout us down because some of us after the election still dissent. We are not any less patriotic for thinking otherwise. Do not chastise us for having serious reservations about our president elect. Do not deny us the liberty to shudder at the serious human rights violations charges leveled against our president elect and want answers. After all, not every African leader is walking around with similar charges and for our Nation’s sake, we deserve answers.  We have many other reasons and suspicions and we ask you to please not mistake our dissent for hatred, it is not. Some of us are Christians and know our duty to pray for the leader of our Nation and the content of those prayers may not be “Oh God how thankful we are” but, “Have mercy on us O God that we may lead a peaceable and quiet life in all Godliness”.  And some of us dissent because we do not view a Democratic decision as the equivalent of God’s approval, for we are well aware that many nations before us including Israel have asked for a King and God gave them a King. We also dissent because although we agree that it is God who raises up leaders and puts others down, it is also God who raises up those leaders for good or for evil and we just want to be sure for Democracy does not provide these assurance. Yes we dissent and we are proud to dissent and we are not six, we are a couple million strong. We may not pay homage to the majority, but we keep democracy vibrant dissenting even after the election, for the end of tallying does not signal the end of peaceful dissent… We too are going back to work, doing other things like dissenting and making widgets and building nations and paying homage to God alone who has never been known to be democratic and who may not necessarily shout for joy because the people have spoken. Personally I think the boy from Starehe is pretty smart..he he. Peace!!

THE SPACE MEN by Joshua

Once upon a time their lived eight men, who lived on Mars they built house’s with DRY ICE and they built a Store that was so big that it took 70% of DRY ICE.                              
One day Jim was standing on a ladder made of DRY ICE. He was putting a table eight feet long and four feet wide ‘’why don’t you go to bed said Joseph Joshua and Benjamin . I have to finish fixing the house.

‘’well what are you doing  now?  ‘’I am building a pipe that’s is leading to the pacific ocean and after I finish that I’ll build a saltmelter . ok said John but I’d go to sleep if I were you said John  .                                

John you know very well that I can stay up for 36 hours without sleeping. Wait a minute its 4 a.m. I better be getting up said David me to said Thomas me three said James ok said Jim I want David to get a sifter and go fishing and the last thing I want you to do is get a few fruits and vegetables. Ok said David. So he went to the rocket now how Does this thing work O yeah all I have to do is push count down.                                 

Ten nine eight seven six five four three two and blast off. and when he reached Earth he was so amazed at all the things they had. Now the only thing I am doing is getting a sifter and some fruits and vegetables and fishing so he went to the market the man behind the desk said how can I help you sir. I would like a sifter and some fruits and vegetables I now right were the vegetables are would you like some apples and some pineapple and some greens and some radishes tomatoes yes I’d like all of them please show me were they are.

No you will have to fish for that ok good by good by said the man so he went and caught some fish and went back to mars what took you so long I had a hard time looking for them and they lived happily ever after

MARTIAN DISASTER. By Anna

                                                    

Have you ever lived up in Mars?

Way above the stars?

Well, if you have, (I haven’t)

You’d surely be a wreck.

We’re planning on building a town,

A place of renown,

Nothing will ever crush it,

We’ve built it with all our wit.

What to do ‘bout the cold?

Our shoes are filling with mold,

Our baseballs are disappearing,

With no hope of reappearing.

We’re running out of air,

Mars, don’t you care!

We’ll be crushed any minute, ( Hateful Moons!)

To the ground, we’ll be pinned.

We have no water,

For our sons and daughter,

Earth is almost invisible,

We’ll leave our poem, very miserable!           

THE  END.
