Dear African Sun

Dear African sun
Dear godly son of the unseen
Dear holy daughter of heavens
Dear grand father of life and seas
Hear me oh ancient warmth
Hear me divine providence sheath
Listen sustainer of all growth
Understand me kiss of strength
Where are you my love?
How my body misses the caress of your rays
How are you godly slave?
How your distance slays our senses
Come back African sun
Draw close sweet friend, don't be gloomy
I implore you African warmth, without pun
Smile again and put the cold to shame

I always found his line of reasoning fascinating and attractive but always problematic and leaving a lot to be desired. Now I know why his writings used to make sense while at the same time seeming biased. Mutahi Ngunyi thrives not because he is the best at political analysis but because he is the best at stoking political controversy. In my own thinking, Mutahi Ngunyi has mastered the art of exaggerating the truth and using witty stories to spark controversy and attract attention. Recently he was at it again, acting brilliant with the aim of diabolically hyping ethnic calculations and machinations on the 2013 election considerations. Before we are accused of attacking Mutahi Ngunyi’s person without merit, let us consider his postulations. Mutahi Ngunyi argues that the 2013 elections are a foregone conclusion; Uhuru is the president wait...
