Peanuts for the Poor (eBook, ePUB)

This is not just a story. It is a mirrorheld up to a nation that has long danced to the tune of broken promises and empty gestures.Peanuts for the Poor is a reflection of a tragic cycle, one that repeats every five years with painful predictability. Lavish convoys, roaring choppers, polished speeches. And yet, beneath the dust kicked up by these spectacles lie the cracked feet of the hungry, the silent tears of the forgotten, and the numb hope of a people who deserve so much more.This book is dedicated to the millions of Kenyans who have been sold dreams in broad daylight and left to starve in the darkness of betrayal. It is for the youth whose voices are stolen, the mothers whose hands are calloused from toil, and the old men who still walk miles for water in a land overflowing with potential.If you recognize the names, faces, and events within these pages, it‘s because truth rarely hides for long. But this is not a political statement. It is a cry from the heart. A call to wake up. To remember. To resist.Because one day, the poor will realize they were never powerlessonly misled.PrefaceThey come with the rainsin convoys that split the red earth,choppers slicing the sky like vultures circling a carcass.Their words are sugarcanesweet at the tip,rotting at the root.In mud-walled homes, fires whisper beneath sufurias,boiling stones and hope together.The childrenbarefoot, dust-cloakedwave at the passing beasts of power,not knowing they are cheering their own forgetting."Tutawaletea maendeleo," they say.But the boreholes stay dry,the roads remain scars,and schools echo with silence.Every five years, the circus returns.Songs, T-shirts, empty manifestos.They toss coins like crumbs to chickens,and stillwananchi dance,not out of joy, but survival.This book is not a tale.It is a dirge, a testimony,a whisper from the village under the baobab,from the grandmother with cracked feet and a cracked voice,from the youth whose dreams rot beneath mango trees.Peanuts for the Poor is for them.A cry. A question.And maybeone daya spark.For when the poor awaken,even the mountains will tremble.
