There is no free lunch!
In Kitui, a silent but sinister trend is unfolding, one that threatens the very fabric of our society. Young boys, enticed by the allure of quick money and fame, are clandestinely entering the dark world, forsaking the values of hard work and perseverance.
Their aspiration for an easy life devoid of struggle leads them down a perilous path, where the promise of riches masks the harsh reality of their eventual demise.
In the pursuit of what they perceive as a “soft life,” these boys become ensnared in the grips of illegal activities and illicit enterprises. Seduced by the mirage of instant gratification, they overlook the consequences of their actions, oblivious to the fact that their choices will inevitably lead to their downfall.
But the tragic irony lies in the ultimate fate that awaits them – to die like lost village rats, forgotten and forsaken. Their dreams of wealth and fame crumble in the face of the harsh truth that the dark world offers no redemption, only a fleeting illusion of success.
It is a sobering reality, one that demands our attention and action. We must not turn a blind eye to the plight of these young boys, for they are the future of our community. We must strive to provide them with alternative paths, avenues of opportunity that lead to genuine success through hard work and determination.
Only by shedding light on the darkness that ensnares them can we hope to steer them away from the abyss. Let us join hands to guide these lost souls back onto the right path, lest they perish in the shadows of their own misguided ambitions. Together, we can build a brighter future for Kitui, one where our youth thrive not in the darkness, but in the light of hope and possibility.
