Dear son, greetings from your dad, only now on a different platform,
PUBLIC! First things first, am really proud of you, you see, when I was
your age I knew not how to read, at least not in English. I was in those
schools that taught early childhood education in Kikuyu, mother tongue.
I am writing this letter on Christmas day, the day we celebrate the
birth of Christ, our Saviour. I intend to give you this letter in the
year 2030 as your birthday present. As Kenyans will be celebrating the
immense developments, I'll probably be celebrating 10yrs of your
existence. At that age you'll at least be able to comprehend all that am
trying to instil in you.
Son, this letter was informed by some thoughts conceived last Saturday as I was at the garage. Those thoughts you have after hours of
sleep as you wait for your car to be through and all you can afford to
do is think! And thinking I did, at least now the doubting thomases know
that I do think, or should I say can. So, I came across a past article
that called for appreciation of gay rights. My blood was boiling in my
veins, I actually was about to crash my Galaxy S4, in my mind though. I
can't afford that kind of a phone and I hate it. The S4! And that fact!
or both! I can't stand a phone that does the unnatural, say closing it's
'eyes'. No! that's like competing with me! Back to the topic! So yes! I
read that article and the seat I was sitted on turned to be hot, not
momentarily! No! twas henceforth. Surprisingly, twasnt hot before. I
know you are probably baying for that article. Like you want to learn
something.No men! I won't expose you to the evil, at least not as the
agent, or when this article is about the vice! By now you must have
learnt of gayism or rather homosexuality. I hope the sound of that word
disgusts you like it does to me. I don't want you to ever learn of Prof.
Makau Mutua and his likes, at least not with his homosexuality
campaigns. I wish to see you lead a straight life and have a good
family, not one with two men. This letter is more of authoritative than a
request. You must be the man and not just a man! I wish to see you date
a girl as beautiful as your mum. Your father never dated ugly girls so
never should you (pun intended here). Neither did he hold fellow men's
in a suggestive way. I'd die if I ever saw you spank another guy's ass,
like those English football coaches patting their players. You're
African and there're some of those things that you mustn't do, they're
only meant for the whites. Like hugging your fellow friends, not when
they're of your gender. (To be Continued
