John is a senior military officer,
He is the one who help our villagers join the military.
But he is accused of bribery.
But he is a good man.
He has a good heart.
Andrew is John’s brother,
Andrew works with United Nation.
Andrew is the most learned fellow in our village.
Unlike John, Andrew is reserved.
He has no stories with the villagers.
But he appears in village affairs.
He gives in every harambee.
Nancy is John’s big sister,
Nancy reports at Jogoo House “B”,
She is a senior officer,
In the ministry of education.
She is not married.
But she has two sons.
Though John, Andrew and Nancy are good,
Some villagers hate them.
They blame them for one reason.
They do not help their brother Patrick.
Patrick is their lastborn.
But he lives in abject poverty.
While their people are living full
The villagers ask,
‘Why are not these people concerned with their brother?’
To them Patrick is an angel,
But do they know Patrick?
Patrick they call a saint is a thief.
I schooled with John and Andrew,
I am a managing director in a government Parastatal.
John and Andrew brought Patrick to me.
I used back door to give him a good job.
But Patrick was reporting at noon drunk.
As that was not enough,
He stole organization properties.
He almost made me lose my job.
But his people paid them.
When you see Patrick in the village,
Do not reproach their people.
Patrick is not a person to be helped.
He does not have papers.
He is not willing to do manual work.
He is lazy.
His records at DCI are not good.
