Fresh Unanswered Questions on Kenya’s First Lady’s London Marathon Gimmick
Jared Odero:
“Beyond Zero” missing on official London’s Marathon map of Charity initiatives! That is the truth.
Kenya’s First Lady Margaret Kenyatta made world history by being the first holder of the title to participate in the London Marathon 2014, and finished the race after 7 hours 4 minutes. Her purpose was to raise awareness and funds to improve maternal and child healthcare in Kenya through her ‘Beyond Zero Campaign’ initiative which was recently heavily criticized at the Kenya Stockholm Blog for wasting public resources.

A whirlwind of gradual pleasure
life is my pleasure
unremarkable, determined thoughts driving into
the calm, fertile bay of cosmic consciousness.
It’s purity sweeping over me
interrupted only by
hot pebbles rolling
in my shoulders and hips,
My
brush is
thick and wet
consolidating energy
parting , breasting , gliding , angling
on it’s rambunctious journey
flexed green toes
bounding past
tribespeople standing,
deceptively still
nodding
with god’s eyes
peeking over cups of sun
minds like water….
knots are unravelling, unconvincingly tied in the first place,
clots draining away
till the sickness is nought but a dribble
a drip
a coagulating puddle of tar
used for other unnecessary things…..
but all
becoming a whirlwind of gradual pleasure
