We've either seen or heard of the recently trending hashtag '#ifikie wazazi'. What came to your mind when you heard or saw its contents?
Well to me, a lot of questions arose. I sat down to rethink the correct definition of society. What are the roles of this society? Does society even know its roles in the first place? What happened to the old school collective parenting responsibility? Where did the rain start beating us?
This is the era with a 'confused' generation that forgot its proper lanes of life. This is the era that you will watch ladies get drunk stupid and do nothing to stop it because they think you are old school. This is the era that campus students will walk half naked to attend classes and you will watch and do nothing because they will say "it is their time; their dress their choice".
In this era I say unto the world, that if you think am crazy and insane for questioning all this; then let my sanity lie in my insanity forever. But lest you forget that if by my questioning I am mad, then you are practically insane.
This same failing society will condemn abortion so much and say it is a crime, but still, it will look down and curse teenage mothers. The same society that campaigns against corruption will always ask you for 'kitu kidogo' for every service you request for. Its churches preach marital faithfulness but its pastors sleep with its members. The same spiritual groups preaching charity, have their pastors owning mansions and private jets.
What role models in this society now offering us? That's why you will hear the neighbor's kid say, "stop talking to me about societal values." This is because society has become too rotten that in our world, nothing like values exist. In our world what exists is, 'Insane people who in their madness are able to convince themselves that they are sane.
