Luanda Reggae Defenders - what is your long term agenda?

Luanda Reggae Defenders is a now a popular movement with roots in Vihiga and border Siaya and Kakamega counties Attention is brought to the manner and conduct the movement has gained fame and followers, mainly the Youths. The movement capitalizes on funerals. With a poor culture of putting the dead to rest, the Reggae Defenders have taken it by storm and rebranded the infamous ‘Disco Matanga’ – disco at funeral.

They have this huge old school sound system that is over buzzing to no clear reggae song - that they hire a pickup to carry - and it has a young DJ mainly standing there than mixing anything. Often, against the rules, the casket is grabbed from a hearse vehicle and tied to a motorbike. There it will be swayed and jerk breaked between other motorbikes on the narrow roads. That, is, how a fellow soldier, often a young dead, is mourned. ...

MOON; 20/08/2015

As capture by Abdul from Kenamkemer, Lodwar
Yesterday. There was no moon again! Abdul captured and I witnessed a quickly growing being. Is his camera different? When I got out, searching in the clouds, getting out and going in, walking straight on an empty tarmac road, moving backwards with eyes fixed in the sky...but I couldn't just see a thing! 

Lessons. The photo I am going to use is secong of Abdul's. Just how a brother can help you twice- it is not common. I have 3000+ friends on facebook and many others on Watsapp. But how many went to capture it and share? One. I know Victor Karani tried to climb to sixth floor to observe the skies. He found it not. At least he was willing. But if there are real friends, the many I have on Facebook, with some taking in my posts with sour saliva, then I have only one. Maybe tomorrow will see another come in. But if there are others who wished to snap, I know not.

Not many are interested in what you are interested in.

I get ashamed to be helped by a brother twice. But what if I can't just manage on my own? May the brother willingly come in and help. My heart will be full of appreciation. Every bright cloud was an incidence of the moon being seen. But I did not see it. I was guessing at what point the moon is. But my brother took my eyes with him.

As I slept, having confirmed for another time and seeing nothing, having danced to Lingala and a book in the hands- solely- I was slightly doubtful whether sleep will come and thoughts will reduce. I had too much in the head for the blogspot...and I do not sleep well when I am anxious.

I am looking forward for today's.
