Of Men and Justice

Y

ou know, I will never understand men. I am a man but give me some time to explain where I’m coming from. I have seen men do stuff that cannot be explained on any level or plane of thinking. Men rape innocent victims, kill, steal, get babies they never intend to raise and worst of all act like there is no God. In my day I have seen all these things being done in broad day light, and who was cheering on the side lines.., fellow men, like that was the best thing to ever happen since Pythagoras theory. I know you must be wondering too, where Sir honorable Justice, was all this time and when all this was happening. Well, let me tell you a tale of Sir Justice who was forced to go blind by my white folks.

Sir Justice was raised in the Garden of Eden together with the then honorable man Adam and his better half Eve. By the time Mr. Adam knew this man, Sir honorable Justice, he was already been kicked out by the Almighty for thinking he can disobey and get away by blaming the wife – funny story behind that – but we’ll come to that later! So God sent Sir Justice to, you know, do his thing, which he did by driving the disobedient man and his wife out of Eden. As far as am concerned, that was the first time Sir Justice was unbiased and acted accordingly. But then we fast forward to now, several thousand decades after that incident. You’d think Sir Justice, now much older and wiser, would not turn a blind eye to everything that is going on around but it’s like he doesn’t even exist. Or did he die and someone forgot to ask me to attend his funeral?

Nope, just spotted him. Where, you ask? There he goes (points down Kenyatta Avenue), in the company of those greedy pigs we have in place of good leaders. They seem to be heading to Serena for lunch. Probably they are planning to buy their way to Sir Justice’s good books through his stomach. And so far they have done a terrific job. Sir Justice has forgotten where he’s come from. He forgot that God sent him to punish evil without being biased, sorry and/or involved. But the best part is, just like Adam, he is trying to get away with it by blaming someone else, unfortunately the one being blamed in this case is this poor fellow called Kenya who has no idea of why or what he is being accused of.

It doesn’t stop there! It gets worse. Sir Justice with the help and approval of the pigs in Serena is conspiring to continue harming the poor fellow by making him pay hefty charges and raising food prices. They have set Mr. Corruption as their chairperson and this old fellow Mr. Greedy as their treasurer. They think they are an unstoppable force since they even brought in a special team of Frustration from abroad to hold back this poor fellow, Kenya, from attaining power to revert the situation.

The Frustration team came up with some very good ideas like high taxes, high food prices, hiked oil prices, a trillion Kshs. Budget, loans from world bank that will never seem to help (and actually will NEVER help the poor fellow, Kenya) among many other strategies. The chief consultant of this baraza (council) is the man himself, Sir ‘honorable’ Selfishness. Boy has he taught the pigs how to eat, not just first but also fast. The pigs, after bagging all these ‘high’ men in our society, can now sit back and watch this poor fellow, Kenya, struggle every day to just to keep their stomachs full. All the pigs do is snot in public every once in a while after they are full and then go back to consult the chief of baraza on the next scandal to invest in and blame this poor fellow, Kenya, again. They are incurring high bills maintaining the baraza and paying the Frustration team but as long as they are not paying for it does not bother them. When the poor fellow complains and seeks help from longtime friends around the world, the pigs smile and call in their long term colleagues Mr. Committee and Sir Special Tribunal to ‘look’ into the matter.
