Lonely Hunter Printable Version PRINTABLE VERSION

Lonely hunter


In the vast Savannah, brown and whistling

It resuscitated self and stretched the long folded arms

In the middle of a land full of treachery

And thought it might not be buried again

Without accomplishing the virtue



Full of erect manifold it moves fecund and bouncy

With little eccentrics or indifference

And races towards the human pretence

With agility

With agility



The lonely hunter has no future

No catch to hunt all gone with the harsh wind

But…one catch sets self in

The hunter snares it

Feeling important and chest-thumping



He fends the limping catch well, watches its move

And offered a helping hand

The emotional thirst ran deep in him

But he kept his knife in the scabbard

Waiting for the right time



The catch, now able to jump and move about

Just sleeps as the hunter sweats over

It moves hereabout and does not care about

As the hunter continues



Then one day, just one day

Things went outside the fence

And the hunter settled the wind

Raised above the normalcy

With little ineptitude



The catch ran away

And the hunter has gone bitter

Wished he had eaten her earlier

Than wait

Writer Profile
Mbũrũ


I am a researcher on educational issues especially in the rural areas, with much emphasis on girls' education.

As a trained journalist, I have a lot of concern with the handling of the education sub-sector in Kenya and take a critical role in viewing the reforms currently being conducted to integrate education structures for the sake of the youth in Kenya.

One major aspect, sadly, is that Kenya has been sovereign for over four decades but has been the only African country besides Somalia not to have made education compulsory, free and basic. For Somalia it can be understood - the country had been in civil strife since 1992- but for Kenya the politics of the day have played a negative role in reducing the promotion of education to a system sheer competition, instead of progressive

Apart from that, I write fictitious literature.
Currently I am working on prose on love and betrayal and a collection of poems.
