<span style="color: #888888;">W</span>hen
I lost my dad, people said I would never make it…the funny thing is
that all this began at the graveside even before the burial was
complete. I was too young to understand all this but this later came to
make meaning in <a class="zem_slink" href="http://www.amazon.com/Anthology/dp/B00000DG1Q%3FSubscriptionId%3D0G81C5DAZ03ZR9WH9X82%26tag%3Dzemanta-20%26linkCode%3Dxm2%26camp%3D2025%26creative%3D165953%26creativeASIN%3DB00000DG1Q" rel="amazon" target="_blank" title="Anthology">my life</a> as I grew up. My dad’s time was up and he had done his fair <a class="zem_slink" href="http://www.youtube.com/jaybanksproductions" rel="youtube" target="_blank" title="Bullying">share</a> of raising me up; He’d taken me to a good school, I had a stable foundation <a class="zem_slink" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Indian_poetry_in_English" rel="wikipedia" target="_blank" title="Indian poetry in English">in English</a>
spoken and most of all left me a loving mother. Situations made me
understand that life had it bitter part, but that didn’t stop me from
believing that it was indeed possible to grow out of it and establish a
better life that will in turn be appreciated later on in the years to
come. Yes I was born of the rich but was raised in the <a class="zem_slink" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Slum" rel="wikipedia" target="_blank" title="Slum">slums</a> of <a class="zem_slink" href="http://maps.google.com/maps?ll=-1.26,36.8619444444&spn=0.1,0.1&q=-1.26,36.8619444444%20%28Mathare%29&t=h" rel="geolocation" target="_blank" title="Mathare">Mathare</a>,
but I didn’t let that really get into me to really affect my life even
though it too had its fare share of influence in my life, but some
people helped me choose better, and I will live to forever appreciate
this individuals: God, my mum and my preschool teacher Mr. Masaku.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The slums of Mathare was into different
sections…Area one, Area two, Area three, Area four, Mathare four A. In
this areas were a group of young boys and girls. Belonging to one of
these groups could either make you become safe or unsafe. There was no
room for betrayal. Safe in the sense that when you are in your <a class="zem_slink" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Area" rel="wikipedia" target="_blank" title="Area">area</a>
you’d feel secure and you would enjoy all the benefits of being a
member; like playing ball, the girls company and many more, and unsafe
in the sense that once identified as a member of a given group you could
not find your way into a different area even when sent by parents. Our
parents weren’t aware of what used to happened at the ground level, we
were the once who felt the heat, when bruised during a fight we would
find a way of hiding the truth from them. We could say we got hurt
playing ball or just come up with something depending on the type of
hurt. Every season and situation had its own excuse and we knew how to
structure our words to fit in. It all Started like this, characters
being natured and this would lead to a greater form of diversification
in the conflict groups. I remember at some point I had issues with my
members, Men!!! The world became too small for me, there’s nothing I
could have done without anyone following or bugging me. They were all
over. We used to live in a three storey building and it had one gate,
which was the entry and exit point. I couldn’t use it otherwise I faced
the risk of having being caught and being beaten. A onetime thorough
beating never meant It all ended there, nope, every time they’d catch
you they would do the ‘good work’ on you, for this reason I had to find
my own way of getting in and out of the building unnoticed…Mum used to
get back from work so tired and had to run some of her errands, so
electric poles and balcony rails served as my gate. I knew that was
against the regulations and if the watchman found me I would have a
beating but I would rather go for his as compared to the gang. More will
be talked about in my book yet to be released ‘<a class="zem_slink" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anatoly_Marchenko" rel="wikipedia" target="_blank" title="Anatoly Marchenko">My testimony</a>’ please like my <a class="zem_slink" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Facebook_features" rel="wikipedia" target="_blank" title="Facebook features">Facebook page</a> and sign up for our monthly news later to be updated, and as bid you I leave you with below <a href="http://stevecelebrates.wordpress.com/2013/03/12/the-freedom-writters/">videos.</a></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
YOU LONG TO HAVE THAT BIG BREAK IN YOUR LIFE,</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
BUT LET ME TELL YOU SOMETHING,</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
THERE MUST BE AN EFFORT TO YOU GETTING THERE,</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
FOR A GLASS TO BREAK..</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
SOMETHING MUST HAVE HAD AN IMPACT ON IT,</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
FOR YOU TO CRY...</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
THERE MUST BE A REASON,</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
FOR YOU TO BE SAD...</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
THERE MUST BE A COURSE,</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
AND FOR YOU TO SMILE..</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
THERE MUST BE THAT WHICH MADE YOU SMILE,</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
FOR YOU TO BE ALIVE..</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
SOMEONE MUST HAVE DICTATED IT AS SO,</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
AND FOR HIM TO MAKE IT SO....</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
IT WAS HIS TENDER MERCIES</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
AND HIS LOVE AND KINDNESS,</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
WE ALL DESERVE TO PERISH FROM THE WRONGS WE'VE DONE,</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
BECAUSE THERE IS TOO MUCH TO STATE!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
BUT THE LORD'S LOVE</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
DID SET US FREE FROM ALL</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
GOD BLESS YOU</div>

She became pregnant hoping that she will give birth at the end of the nine months as usual.Everything seemed normal to her and everyone around.Her pregnancy tests did show that all was fine with her and the unborn child,and she was so very happy that she would have her own baby when time is due.Nine months went by,then a year,a year and a half,two years and then the third year.There were no signs of anything,no labor no nothing!She frequented the clinic and all the doctors said was that, "you are only a few months pregnant how come you are so worried,our equipments don't lie,you'll do give birth don't worry."</h4>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
She carried what she never knew, a creature worth not explaining,the result of the forces of darkness.Who knew it would turn out that way.The mother's initial joyous mood turned to worry ....She gave her life to Jesus Christ,had faith in the word of the lord,and prayed earnestly,and now she'll be a mother soon I believe and there is no doubt about that, i don't doubt at all and never will I!</div>
