KITANDA YANGU 4 by 6 my Interpretation!

What happens when your back is against the wall.

When you cannot run anymore.

When you run out of options.

When you have to explain to your Kids.
 ‘Toto vumilia ugali hii salary ingenunua nyama but nalipa taxes MP walipe entertainment allowances’ Painfully explain to your kids that paying taxes is the only reason you cannot afford a piece of meat in the butchery, taxes that hardly guarantee you services from the government.

When a young man have to prove to his in laws that he can take care of their daughter despite the not encouraging economic conditions
‘Sisemi atakula nyama kila siku but na promise tumbo yake haitalala bila kitu’

When you have to settle for less just to cover your dignity
‘chicken ama beef bora kushiba, suti ama jeans bora kufinika uchi’

When a young woman has to endure cold nights to earn for her kids
‘wengine wanavaa tight, wanavaa less ku advertise goods kwa dudes’

‘Bulb ikiwaka kwa kichwa utalipa KPLC kwa kila good idea nothing for free’
Your ideas do not hold weight you are young , you are a risk, you get manipulated, used despite your qualifications.

YOU GET THE POINT!

Many of us react differently to this but the most common effect among human beings is degrading ourselves to MONSTERS just to survive.

Kitanda yangu  4 by 6 portrays restrain, a guy find himself in an odd position hence the bed in a basement. Suddenly he gets chased by people who clearly have no good intentions.
The chase ensues but eventually the young man played by Juliani find himself in a place of no return, his back against the wall. The man is left with no choice but to release the monster within .

This is evident in our society when teachers, doctors have to protest and strike just to be heard.
When people have to kill,mob justice just because we have had unpleasant encounter with the judiciary. 
When the human race have nothing to loose.http://youtu.be/T2RudCOBsrI

  1. That is the saddest thing about our lovely country. The rich get richer, care less about the suffering in fact they despise them, call them thieves, criminals, criminals that they have made out of innocent Kenyans who by hoping against hope have been pushed hard against a rock and a hard place, with no one to turn to and no place to run they face the monster insside them and unleash all their pains and sorrows the only way they know best!
