I am dismayed that most of our attention and thought is not directed at Wanjiku. Yet look at how she lives!

Or rather, why are we engaging in politics?

Is it because we are connected to a certain politician, and by championing by his cause we'll have more cash in our accounts?

Shall we also say, ' . . . and also Wanjiku's account'.

Is this the end of politics? Is this what nationalism is about?

Surely, if this is the case, then we have already converted to cannibalism, and we are headed for destruction.

Why is it so difficult for us to see this? I think it is because we have been nurtured in a selfish ethic, and pseudo science has propped this nefarious agenda by saying that selfishness is in the gene. This cannot be true. Man has the power to choose. Man is capable of creating a body politic that has freedom and all that comes with it.

Nay, man must believe that freedom, peace, and progress are not only true, but also attainable.

Progress, cannot be evaluated from a materialistic perspective. Progress can only be a spiritual evaluation.

Thus politics is also spiritual business.

The poor and the oppressed don't need good policies, they only need to have their voice heard. They only need to be encouraged to speak, and they will never be poor and oppressed.

Of course I will be lying to say that politics is only about the oppressed finding freedom, for it is also about the free enjoying their freedom.

So politics is the human endeavour to find and enjoy freedom, and this freedom can only be found through conversation between one another and between man and God.

This demands love and courage from every one, and each word, each action is executed with the conviction that we all share one identity.
