I WISH YOU WERE HERE








The Invisible Dragon

I have a dragon inside of me

He jumps in my mouth when I want to be free

He grabs at my throat when I want to speak

He makes me so scared that I feel very weak

You can’t see my dragon coz he’s deep down inside

But he makes me so nervous; all I want to do is hide

I wish that I could speak to you – I wish I had the choice

But the dragon inside of me has snatched away my voice

When you ask a question and all l want to do is answer you

When you call my name and make me think about  you

I simply can’t answer – my throats too tight

Coz my dragon says “BOO” and I jump with fright

It really makes me sad; all I want to do is cry

Coz I’d love to be your friend if I wasn’t so shy

So if my face doesn’t smile when you ask me to play

It’s because this pesky dragon just won’t go away

Embracing the challenges of living with dyslexia

Munene Mutwiri was five years old when he first started school. And like any other child, he had to read the alphabet, form words and sentences and count basic numbers.

Once, in a Literature class, he read ‘flashback’ as ‘back flash,’ to the amusement of his classmates. Most of the time, he would see the second name before the first, and mathematical formulae appeared as diagrams since numbers did not make a lot of sense to him, a problem he still encounters to date. As a child, he preferred and loved when his teachers narrated stories rather than have him read them. Now in his mid-20s, he still prefers listening to audiobooks to reading a text novel. At home, his family took him to numerous eye clinics thinking he had an eye problem but deep inside, he knew his eyes were okay, and his reading problems had something to do wit...

OPEN LETTER TO THE VICE CHANCELLOR

PROFESSOR MARY WALINGO Maybe some will love to call you ‘mother’ others our ‘mother’, but for me am not interested in giving you funky motherly titles that l think you do not deserve. I prefer to address you with your official name or title, Professor Mary Walingo, The Vice Chancellor Maasai Mara University. You happen not to know me so I take this chance to introduce myself. I’m Munene A Mutwiri a communications student in third year. With due respect Madame Vice Chancellor; I’m compelled to convey my sincere disappointments with your leadership style through this open letter. Let me start by highlighting why you do not deserve the name ‘mother’ of the school. The majority of the students in this university happen to have their own mothers. Those who are unfortunate not to have one, they have their guardians, those with non-have their girlfriends as their ‘mothers’. Those who don’t have either have God as their ‘mother’. And even those who are unfortunate enough not to ...
