Sunset in her eyes

Your pain was so loud
Your hurt, cut so deep
All I could do was cry, cry, cry
When my love, was unheard.

Let me free, let me be
Let me love, let me heal.

Let me have, back my words
Words of love, writ in the dark
Let me have, back my heart
A tender heart, the night was grey.

Lord, give me hope, give me strength
Let me rise, my face to the sun
Heal my wounds, hold my hand
Let me see, the sun rise in another’s eyes.

Let me free, let me be
Let me love, let me heal.

Let me have, back my words
Words of love, writ in the dark
Let me have, back my heart
A tender heart, the night was grey.

Let it dim, the sunset in her eyes
Let it swallow, the twilight of pride
Let me not, turn back my face
For her love, is become a pillar of salt.

Let me free, let me be
Let me love, let me heal.

Let me have, back my words
Words of love, writ in the dark
Let me have, back my heart
A tender heart, the night was grey.

Let it dim, the sunset in her eyes
Let it fade, the beauty of the sunset
Let the stars, twinkle in her stead
Mother Moon, still my love craze.

Ohh…
Let me free, let me be
Let me love, let me heal.

Let me have, back my words
Words of love, writ in the dark
Let me have, back my heart
A tender heart, the night was grey.X3

The dates: 27 th November-1 st December 2023. The venue. The Edge Convention Centre, Nairobi, Kenya. Sweet things first. Innovators get to walk away with 500K each, in shillings. 47 of them, from all the 47 counties… on Jamhuri Day, 5 of them get to walk away with… that’s for the President H.E. William Ruto to announce. The funding is to enable them take their innovations to market and build viable businesses out of the same. PIA – The Presidential Innovation Awards, the president is that serious. The Start-up sessions are a serious affair, the titles a mouthful, the colon abused: (Session: Founder Stories: An Exclusive Interview with Leading High Growth Start-ups: Learning, Pivoting and Critical Decisions during and Unprecedented Accelerated Business Growth). Ok, some of the lessons when scaling up: Ask for help; Believe in yourself; Resilience; Change of Mind-set. What’s the share of Bill Gates in Microsoft? We are asked. We throw figures around: 30, 90, 50… the percentages…

A Short Run

There is a shout. Startled, he looks back. Now, his phone is gone. He was out jogging, phone held in the hand, the beat synchronised to his strides. The boys, really young, three of them on a motorbike, laced in silver – rings and teeth. ‘Typical,’ he thinks. It rains. Heavily. The El Nino rains – on and off. He hurries home in the downpour, drenched. He is among a few lonely souls on the almost deserted stretch of road, poorly light. There is a soft honk. A lovely smile beams at him. Could be his daughter. He hops in. That’s how he is unrobed – Mpesa, Fuliza, two banks accounts linked to his smartphone. He will no longer be doing mobile banking. Christmas is here, Nairobi style. He takes a detour off his Christmas tunes – Boney M to Elvis. Before that, that kingly tune set in Chicago… ‘… on a cold and grey Chicago morn… and his momma cries…’ On the second alley, music blares – reggae, rhumba - young men with bowls, begging to bury their friends, their comrades. A few pairs of sh

Can they find two problems that solve each other and go forward together? What informs collaboration/co-creation? Research, data… Venture Capital… good for tech start-ups that can sca
