      "body": "“When I got home that night as my wife served dinner, I held her hand and said, I’ve got something to tell you. She sat down and ate quietly. Again I observed the hurt in her eyes.\n\nSuddenly I didn’t know how to open my mouth. But I had to let her know crewhat I was thinking. I want a divorce. I raised the topic calmly. She didn’t seem to be annoyed by my words, instead she asked me softly, why? You know \n\nI avoided her question. This made her angry. She threw away the chopsticks and shouted at me, you are not a man! That night, we didn’t talk to each other. She was weeping. I knew she wanted to find out what had happened to our marriage. But I could hardly give her a satisfactory answer; she had lost my heart to Jane. I didn’t love her anymore. I just pitied her!\n\nWith a deep sense of guilt, I drafted a divorce agreement which stated that she could own our house, our car, and 30% stake of my company. She glanced at it and then tore it into pieces. The woman who had spent ten years of her life with me had become a stranger. I felt sorry for her wasted time, resources and energy but I could not take back what I had said for I loved Jane so dearly. Finally she cried loudly in front of me, which was what I had expected to see. To me her cry was actually a kind of release. The idea of divorce which had obsessed me for several weeks seemed to be firmer and clearer now.\n\nThe next day, I came back home very late and found her writing something at the table. I didn’t have supper but went straight to sleep and fell asleep very fast because I was tired after an eventful day with Jane. When I woke up, she was still there at the table writing. I just did not care so I turned over and was asleep again.\n\nIn the morning she presented her divorce conditions: she didn’t want anything from me, but needed a month’s notice before the divorce. She requested that in that one month we both struggle to live as normal a life as possible. Her reasons were simple: our son had his exams in a month’s time and she didn’t want to disrupt him with our broken marriage.\n\nThis was agreeable to me. But she had something more, she asked me to recall how I had carried her into out bridal room on our wedding day. She requested that every day for the month’s duration I carry her out of our bedroom to the front door ever morning. I thought she was going crazy. Just to make our last days together bearable I accepted her odd request.\n\nI told Jane about my wife’s divorce conditions. . She laughed loudly and thought it was absurd. No matter what tricks she applies, she has to face the divorce, she said scornfully.\n\nMy wife and I hadn’t had any body contact since my divorce intention was explicitly expressed. So when I carried her out on the first day, we both appeared clumsy. Our son clapped behind us, daddy is holding mommy in his arms. His words brought me a sense of pain. From the bedroom to the sitting room, then to the door, I walked over ten meters with her in my arms. She closed her eyes and said softly; don’t tell our son about the divorce. I nodded, feeling somewhat upset. I put her down outside the door. She went to wait for the bus to work. I drove alone to the office.\n\nOn the second day, both of us acted much more easily. She leaned on my chest. I could smell the fragrance of her blouse. I realized that I hadn’t looked at this woman carefully for a long time. I realized she was not young any more. There were fine wrinkles on her face, her hair was graying! Our marriage had taken its toll on her. For a minute I wondered what I had done to her.\n\nOn the fourth day, when I lifted her up, I felt a sense of intimacy returning. This was the woman who had given ten years of her life to me. On the fifth and sixth day, I realized that our sense of intimacy was growing again. I didn’t tell Jane about this. It became easier to carry her as the month slipped by. Perhaps the everyday workout made me stronger.\n\nShe was choosing what to wear one morning. She tried on quite a few dresses but could not find a suitable one. Then she sighed, all my dresses have grown bigger. I suddenly realized that she had grown so thin, that was the reason why I could carry her more easily.\n\nSuddenly it hit me… she had buried so much pain and bitterness in her heart. Subconsciously I reached out and touched her head.\n\nOur son came in at the moment and said, Dad, it’s time to carry mom out. To him, seeing his father carrying his mother out had become an essential part of his life. My wife gestured to our son to come closer and hugged him tightly. I turned my face away because I was afraid I might change my mind at this last minute. I then held her in my arms, walking from the bedroom, through the sitting room, to the hallway. Her hand surrounded my neck softly and naturally. I held her body tightly; it was just like our wedding day.\n\nBut her much lighter weight made me sad. On the last day, when I held her in my arms I could hardly move a step. Our son had gone to school. I held her tightly and said, I hadn’t noticed that our life lacked intimacy. I drove to office…. jumped out of the car swiftly without locking the door. I was afraid any delay would make me change my mind…I walked upstairs. Jane opened the door and I said to her, Sorry, Jane, I do not want the divorce anymore.\n\nShe looked at me, astonished, and then touched my forehead. Do you have a fever? She said. I moved her hand off my head. Sorry, Jane, I said, I won’t divorce. My marriage life was boring probably because she and I didn’t value the details of our lives, not because we didn’t love each other anymore. Now I realize that since I carried her into my home on our wedding day I am supposed to hold her until death do us apart. Jane seemed to suddenly wake up. She gave me a loud slap and then slammed the door and burst into tears. I walked downstairs and drove away. At the floral shop on the way, I ordered a bouquet of flowers for my wife. The salesgirl asked me what to write on the card. I smiled and wrote, I’ll carry you out every morning until death do us apart.\n\nThat evening I arrived home, flowers in my hands, a smile on my face, I run up stairs, only to find my wife in the bed -dead. My wife had been fighting CANCER for months and I was so busy with Jane to even notice. She knew that she would die soon and she wanted to save me from the whatever negative reaction from our son, in case we push through with the divorce.— At least, in the eyes of our son—- I’m a loving husband….\n\nThe small details of your lives are what really matter in a relationship. It is not the mansion, the car, property, the money in the bank. These create an environment conducive for happiness but cannot give happiness in themselves.\n\nSo find time to be your spouse’s friend and do those little things for each other that build intimacy. Do have a real happy marriage!\n\nIf you don’t share this, nothing will happen to you.\n\nIf you do, you just might save a marriage. Many of life’s failures are people who did not realize how close they were to success when they gave up.\n\nRemember love is the richest of all treasures. Without it there is nothing; and with it there is everything. Love never perishes , even if the bones of a lover are ground fine like powder. Just as the perfume of sandalwood does not leave it, even if it is completely ground up, similarly the basis of love is the soul, and it is indestructible and therefore eternal. Beauty can be destroyed , but not love. \nGod bless you.",

It is like the various research sites are calling out to me and I cannot resist the urge to improve my clients’ grades. The desire to acquire more knowledge draws me, and I can't help but read more. Show me a good writer, and I will show you an avid reader. Writing has been a journey for me, a journey that began with me reading many essays in my childhood. Writing essays then became a passion as I embraced the art of merging up words to capture my audience and reader. With patience and humility, my skills in essay writing have nourished.

My power to web words and bring essays into life is astonishing. With adequate research am bound to offer quality services.\n\nI take pride in offering work with no plagiarism and free of grammatical errors.

      "body": "Dear youth! I feel privileged and honored to interact with you for brief moment, I am one among you, in fact going through what you are going through in life, facing great tragedies of life just as you are, the only difference is that we reside in different parts of this beloved county. As if that’s not all, our problems are more or less the same. It is at this vantage point that with conviction we can speak the same language, so to say our language as mayouths.\nContemporary society seems to offer the youth only a pessimistic ground to stand on, to an extent that they slow sink into such mire and slowly forget their commonality. Many international bodies like United Nations (UN) and World Health Organization (WHO) for the sake of statistical consistency have tried to define the youth by focusing on age bracket and locality. Nevertheless these sorts of descriptions are full discrepancies. Interestingly rising beyond numerical ascription, one conspicuously notices that in matters of vigor, entertainment, self-reflective, critical as well as value driven, we will form a common ground for all the youth whether in famous Kog’elo in Kenya to Texcoco in Mexico. It is logical therefore on a terra firma to note as youth, WE ARE ONE-BIG FAMILY. \nTHE ENERGY UNTAMED, STRENGTH MISDIRECTED!\nInvesting in this notion, we can sail in same boat in reflecting upon some few tips of national as well as global concern. We are made to agree all of us that there is always affinity to most powerful machines, powerful people, kingdoms and reassuring relationships. It’s under this tenet that youth become the preferred option for any political demonstrations and skirmishes. Youth become overexcited when they are ignited for breaking business apartments, disrupting market operations and vandalizing every meaningful property. They mockingly feel their stolen legacy is being recognized, little do they know that it’s just their muscular and heavy build body physique which is being manipulated for wrong reasons! In this case they are just used as bulldozers and excavators in road construction which eventually break after heavy work and disgustingly corrugate in stores and later be used as scrap metals.\nA YOUTH SHOULD EMBRACE PEACE\nThe language which I ‘highlight and underline’ as we smell repeat- fresh -presidential elections in Kenya, in few weeks’ time is that of peace and maturity in understanding. In any case, different manifestos have been launched way back before general elections, the same is refreshed with other bombastic words and melodies even after the presidential elections have been nullified. Imagine our destined duty is to ululate over such launching. My beloved fellow youth, I wish to humbly remind you that selfish songs of some politicians will remain the same. It’s our duty as well as obligation to put our hands on real life situations. We should be quite firm, objective and remain resolute to build our nation. The diabolic urge to vandalize and kill our brothers and sisters should never be tolerated. Do we really need an exorcist? I guess we can exorcise ourselves long before then!  \nThis history has shown that it is rarely a fair game, our political Lords have been winning our game over, gullible as it may sound, with few fake and insignificant cash notes like of Ksh 50, a youth can demolish and vandalize investments worth millions of shillings.  Many a times I stand to wonder, who will save our nation? If not only I and you my dear brother and sister!\nA Youth Should Approach Politics and Life Situation with A Lot of Critique.\nPolitics is a science, it needs a professional backup. Little do we know that as some lunatics think they are doing politics, they disintegrate into Cheap-fake politics! My fellow youth I don’t wish to take you back to a lecture of political science or philosophy. I beg we remain within our confines, ours is a cheap-fake politics on the basis of tribes, clans, color, nepotism, materialism and today more than ever on basis of religion. \nOur beloved country Kenya is soon following the same route of fake politics, a road many countries in the 3rd world economy have deliberately followed. Negatively, it is a pity in Kenya whereby Ksh 50 can alter one’s life decision and elect and celebrate a thief. A thief because some people being investigated on corruption deals dating as early as from the day of independence, talk of chicken gate, Anglo leasing just to name a few for clarity.  Prof. Patrick Lock Otieno (PLO) Lumumba, a man I heartily admire in his approach to social evils, he once gave a moving talk in our neighboring country, Republic of Uganda, he emphatically outlined that its only in Africa “where they demonize their saints and canonize their thieves”. He could not fail to quote from his dark days of service as a Director of Kenya Anti-corruption commission in Kenya (2010 to 2011). I paraphrase what he shared; he could be pushed by a certain community either to release or not to prosecute an individual, owing to the fact he or she is their tribal son or daughter. And even a thief, it’s their own, therefore he or she should be untouchable.\n\nYouth’s Responsibility\nMy dear youth, guard yourself, fellow youth parents and guardians. It’s only a youth who has the potency for this for a better tomorrow.\nIf Kenya goes to her knees, if Kenya bleeds, the most affected person it’s only the youth. My dear brothers and sisters lets open our eyes, we have more generations to live. Why do we consider risking a fight with dinosaur? It died long ago, so you should focus on your present and future life.\nMy dear youth! Do you agree to be a trampled on for rest of your life, I wish to flee your mind out of this, let’s reflect together. When you are given the smallest cash note in circulation today, ksh 50 note, and some intoxications in name of hard drugs, do you know your scoring too low, far low than any irascible brute in the planet. What exactly do you want? I bring to your attention that any genuine leader will never advocate for fight which eventually can lead to destruction and loss of life, what sort of leaders are these then? They are merely thieves who stole public money, in fact your money, and they pay you cheaply to protect the political positions so as to remain untouchable! They shed innocent blood and jump highest in the crusades, just playing innocent. Stay put on what is right and truthful.\nYouth in School- The Hope of Every Nation\nA big percentage of youth are learned or still pursuing relevant and lucrative courses in our technical, colleges and universities within and outside the country. How come we are easily cheated and led to confusion by political conmen and women by extension.\nThe advices of God to Israelites in the Holy writ, Deuteronomy 26, choose life or death is what is beset before us. I didn’t wish to appear pessimistic, but I could not avoid being overly critical since my audience are the most critical people, the youth, what I intended is to touch just the edge of reality of our situation here in Kenya. We have good intentioned leaders somewhere, but we should use our discretion well, but the plantation is confused like that biblical parable of wheat and weeds, to sort then out turns problematic. I chose to address the right people who can help sort this mess. It is I and you my fellow youth, lets save our nation.",

      "body": "THEM VS US - CONVERSATIONS OF WAR\nJust 8 years ago, Syria had an army, a police force, and an economy 4 times bigger than Kenya's. And then this happened:\n________________\n\"Pro-democracy protests erupted in March 2011 in the southern city of Deraa after the arrest and torture of some teenagers who painted revolutionary slogans on a school wall. After security forces opened fire on demonstrators, killing several, more took to the streets.\n\nThe unrest triggered nationwide protests demanding President Assad's resignation. The government's use of force to crush the dissent merely hardened the protesters' resolve. By July 2011, hundreds of thousands were taking to the streets across the country.\n\nOpposition supporters eventually began to take up arms, first to defend themselves and later to expel security forces from their local areas.\"\n\nSOURCE: http://www.bbc.com/news/world-middle-east-26116868\n________________\n\nToday, it doesn't matter who was right or wrong - for the families of the 250,000 Syrians that have lost their lives, and the 11 million who are living as refugees.\n\nIt doesn't matter whether their leaders will get \"full bread\" or \"nusu mkate\" when the conflict is over. If your child is dead, your home is destroyed, or your livelihood is shattered, all the talk about the size of bread is meaningless.\n\nIn the midst of all the chest-thumping that is happening in our midst, it's easy not to notice our unfolding tragedy. From conversations that take place around me, I get the feeling that our nation is suspended over a precipice, and that it is dangling by a slender thread that shows every sign of snapping.\n\nEvery day I listen to conversations of war, conversations of ethnic profiling, conversations of police brutality, and conversations of secession.\n\nOn social media, I have seen conversations praising police killing of members of a certain community; conversations about how certain communities are good fighters, and how others cannot fight at all; and conversations about which communities should be wiped out.\n\nOn national TV, I have watched the President and Raila Odinga take part in the conversation (The President saying “sisi sio waoga” and Raila Odinga defending one of his allies who had advocated for violence).\n\nOn vernacular FM stations I have heard popular presenters asking their viewers to get ready to defend their communities.\n\nFrom parliament, I have heard conversations about how communities will perform in the coming war – based on pre-match contest between Jaguar and Babu Owino. I have also seen a respected senator take part in this conversation. His exact words were “Kama mbaya, mbaya. Wacha kiumane”.\n\nI have heard a governor and MP from his county participate in this conversation: the governor asking members of communities that did not vote for a certain candidate to vacate that county, and the MP donating machetes to his followers.\n\nThese are conversations that take place moments before nations step into the slippery slope from which there can be no turning back. These are the conversations that took place in Somalia in 1990. They are the conversations that Syrians were having in 2011.\n\nSuch conversations cannot be stopped or changed by an election, police action, or legislation. \n\nWe must first be bold enough to admit that Kenya has a serious problem and that it is a problem for which we must find urgent but lasting solutions.\n\nI call this problem “Them Vs Us”. It is the problem that…\n• Triggered widespread violence in different parts of our country in 1992, 1997, and 2007.\n• Made thousands of people to flee back to their ancestral homes a few weeks before the August 8 general elections. \n• Makes some people say they want to secede.\n\nIt is this problem that has now reared its ugly head form of an electoral dispute.\n\nUnless we do something about it, sooner or later we will be forced to say goodbye to Kenya – as we know it. \n\nThe reason I wrote this piece is to ask us – the ordinary people – to start our own conversation. \n\nIt is a conversation which I hope will force our leaders to prioritize the development of a permanent solution to the “Them Vs Us” problem.\n\nWhen our leaders say “our communities will fight”, they don’t mean them and their children; they mean us and our children. It is our children who will lose lives, forfeit education, and forego a future.\n\nIf we lose our country, they will fly their families to European capitals. Their children will go to the same high-cost schools, they will play golf in the same high-end clubs, and they’ll take holidays - to exotic destinations - together.\n\nIn the meantime, the rest of us – irrespective of tribe – will probably be sharing the same crowded tent at a refugee camp in Somalia or South Sudan.\n\nPlease share your views with love (without anger, acrimony, or abuse).\n\nThank You.\n\nMkenya Mwenzako\n_________________________",
