Man of many faiths

by Stanley Kimunge

Came to unravel this guy, he was gasping the cool air at the Frustrating Square. The abandoned bench he sat facing the realities. He was deep into thoughts. Thoughts that he only understood. He had lost everything. But he was too optimistic about this. A man of many faiths I should confer him this label.

First, he bragged a lot about his gold. Yes about his “tooth stud”. Last semester, he kept letting his dental formula out. When you ask about it. He could shrug his shoulders and say,” I usually speak with my ancestors before exams. . .” And you might see sense. He has never drunk a Sup. Man of faiths?

Bring it closer home, he is themecally bound to Faith Nyambura, Faith Nyaweso and the latest version Faith Ocheko. Break it, when he was in his first year he ji-connected Nyambura. The following year, Nyaweso and he met in the dance floor. It was the eventful kadunda. He pierced her heart and the rest was history. Now he has launched new hit single Ocheko. Ask about them, he will tell you without parting eyes that he believes in everything.

A man of many faiths I believed. Look at how he walks from this Female Hostel holding his breath high from mashoka as he tip-toes in his room. He wants to be his bodyguard. I learnt too that he risks his life. Just to please his Faiths. He would slam his eyes in the proximity of this dreaded man .He inherited all charm from Akuku Danger. He is however worried about the genetically modified love that is slowly thriving in. Ask him or even get closer to his Faiths you might probably lose your oldest tooth.

He lost his trousers, his watch . . . everything. He beeped through the window. He saw one of his Faiths hanging a man’s trouser. Then came another male shirt. He was done. Someone was preying his territory he had cultivated. He looks up and says, he has too many faiths in his life after all.
