KENYA K….Kenya my beautiful country E ….earn honors and respect N …none is like you my country Y …you shine brighter compared to any other A …across the world, you light brighter that the sun The beauty sceneries of the green vegetation The dark color of the people of Kenya The arable land in Kenya The mines The animals and tourist centers in Kenya The presidency The politics The hot springs The digitality in Kenya The economic growth in Kenya The agricultural sector, The flag of Kenya The education sector in Kenya All make me feel proud of Kenya…. And I feel so good to be Kenyan.

why KENYA?
these days looking around the globe one might believe that we are traveling in time just in the wrong direction regression as progress seems to be the dominant notion of the day creating wannabes in various disguises      populist czars, sultans, nationalists, dictators,      assorted self-appointed saviors      of their peoples’ wealth and health, trumpeting fences, walls, tough immigration laws, etc., etc.   to keep out and silence all those aliens      or invade their countries       and eliminate them      who otherwise are welcome      as our partners in the global trade      that seems to dominate the world of greed so we can all be ourselves      whatever that might mean claiming to solve the problems of tomorrow      with memories of yesterday is not only hopeless but quite dangerous do you remember what that glorified past actually was?

I want to be a patriot But it's very difficult Because we aren't really independent That's the harsh truth Divided by thousands of castes And a handful of religions Steeped in poverty Hard to find humanity In this third world nation Easier to find depression! I want to be a patriot However, I am hurt By the sheer apathy Ever present in our society Towards the sufferings Of the depressed and so-called backward classes As well as mental health Not to mention, so much filth Leading to countless diseases And thus deaths of thousands!! I want to be a patriot But nothing to be patriotic about Most people are selfish For gossip, they fish However, when you truly need help You don't get help In this society, only pain Not a single gain!! I want to be a patriot But no use for it This country protects the corrupt And the morally bankrupt The good people suffer Especially the women And of course, the needy and poor I am ashamed to be an Indian!! I want to be a patriot However, I cannot All I care about is my close circle Of family, cousins and friends Call me anti-national I won't give two hoots I'm done With this so-called nation!!

I Want To Be A Patriot
The President will start a nuclear war over twitter if he has to. White Nationalist is a way of saying ******* It's re-labeled to desensitize us. The President sympathizes with the White Nationalists because he can't afford to lose their vote. My president does not have my best interest in mind. He is a power hungry tyrant-- and half are too dumb to notice. You don't worship God. You don't. You worship politics infused with spirituality. You dehumanize those who are different from you because you are a scared little ***** All Nazis must die. Them dying is the greater good. Nazis are inferior. Die **** Die.

All Nazis Must Die
I was a sales rep in the 70s… selling art materials to education in deepest Wales Back in the day those in the far West were passionate. There were tales of fervent nationalists who didn’t like the English for what they’d arrogantly done. scouted round for the nicest cottages just for weekends. These were early Yuppy trends. They invited down Drusilla, Rupert, Jacintha & Giles and other poncey friends. for Pims and Taramasalata and Lava Bread… “made from seaweed’? Such Fun! There was a spate of ritual burnings of the cottages of the weekend renovator’s pride It was a powerful statement of the Welsh anger at those raiders from… well, the other side. Cottages burnt regularly caught wider attention on the international news… so, many understood the Welsh, their hurt, their motives, their PR and their views. but it was my job to travel the principality hawking paint to primary heads and secondary art teachers So the nationalist bar was set high. It was their home game and mine only just features powder and poster paint, brushes, plaster and clay… But I wasn’t daunted… no way! It was Cardigan, Aberaeron Primary to be precise… That was my next call. And I stood perplexed, staring blankly at the notice board in the entrance hall. Until recently signs had always been bi-lingual. I glazed over….Today… worryingly they were just single! All I saw was “Pennaeth, Campfa, Neuadd Fwyta, Swyddfa'r Ysgrifennydd, Ystafelloedd Newid So… I snapped out of it and took a guess… This Newid one… Girl’s Changing Rooms!!… I flew! Thanks heavens nobody saw me… I got back to the notice board and re-viewed the list anew… Thank the Lord, just then, I heard female voices as they clip clopped along the parquet I turned nervously and said “excuse me I’d like to see the head Mr Meredith… Is he in today?” with the sweetest smile the lady said… “Mr Mer-ed-ith? Yes I’ll have word… She disappeared behind the door that said “Pennaeth”… “Head” I thought! Mmm. “Mr Mer-ed-ith would like to know if you are a Welsh speaker? “Fraid not I said… I’m from Yorkshire”. "In that case he says Na! I’m sorry I mean No. Your company should employ a Welsh speaker to sell to us in Wales". If only I’d been able to say “Rwy'n siŵr mai'r dyn sy'n cymryd y swydd pan fyddaf yn gadael fydd eich dyn!” Instead I said… If you tell me where I can pick up a phrase book I’ll give it a go! Diolch am eich help, hwyl fawr!
