The modern day Judas.

He betrayed Jesus! Jesus wept!

 

2012 is over. The world did not end in 2012: the Mayans are liars. Jesus heeded my prayer and delayed the end for a few more days/ months/years, whichever He chooses. I have so much to do that I had to ask him to take his time. 

Like I haven't realized my vision. 

Surely, Jesus would give my country a chance to realise the famous Vision 2030 dream. I hear we will have great roads and highways and we would be an ICT nation and oh, the education system would be marvelous. Did I hear someone say that the economy would be booming?  I want to be here to hear the economy boom, literally. So please Jesus, take your time. 2030 is not far away and you would not deny a chance to a vision-2030-must-see-fan, would you?

Back to the modern day Judas. No, I am not talking about the Judas who betrays you and is given just thirty pieces of silver. Judas (I mean the bible Judas Iscariot), you would have done better. Thirty pieces of silver is equivalent to thirty  Kenyan shillings (in my world), which cannot even buy a loaf of bread. Did I tell you that a quarter kilogramme of sugar is fifty shillings? Now, Judas, thirty pieces of silver?  To betray your master? Woiyee.

So, the modern day Judas. No, he is not packaged as that friend who betrayed you by stealing your boyfriend (by the way,nobody "steals" a boyfriend, he just found someone better than you, too bad that someone  else happened to be your best friend.)  

 

Rather, he comes in the form of the people who will not make me realize my vision 2030 dream. The people who will betray my dream by stuffing a few pieces of silver in their pockets so as to betray my country. You see, I look forward to 2030. I have a dream that I will buy a loaf of bread at less than thirty pieces of silver, that I can walk into a shop and be served by a robot (yey!). That escalators and electric trains will be everywhere. That it will take me less than 30- minutes to go from one county to another.

Oh, dear Judas, please do not betray me. Please do not accept the thirty pieces of silver. Please do not accept that plot of land. Abeg-o, do not make my vision 2030 into a vision 20-nothing. Not when i have petitioned Jesus not to end the world in 2012 (He listens and He is thinking about it).

Please Judas, do not make me weep.
