Don't Cry for Me, Kenya

Yes, "Don't cry for me Argentina". Sadly, I cannot write music. It
does not end there; I cannot even carry a tune! But these past few
weeks I have had this overwhelming urge to write some music - a
dirge.
Why Kenya, why?
How can political leaders and civil servants so conspire to
destroy a nation? Between Mwai Kibaki's party, his challenger's
party and the civil servants in charge of Kenya's electoral system,
someone must be blamed for what is happening in that country;
someone has committed a grievious crime against the people of
Kenya.
It is not those machete wielding "tribesmen" who are guilty of
anything but the one or ones who instigated the negative trend or
tampered with the electoral process of this great country and now
they find themselves in this mess.
It's always the same: the desire to take power or hold on to power.
And we never seem to learn. Hope Ghanaian politicians are paying
close attention...
