THE LETTERS FROM THE MAASAI WARRIOR.

LETTER 1 : THE CROOKING IF A FROG NEVER STOPS THE COW Ero, friends, Crow and continue crying, signaling different seasons, time for mating, the rain is here again says one member of our community, like all the rest the frog has its seasonal moods, it has its periods (good and bad days). You remember the story of David and Goliath which symbolized to a great extend the value of hope and, the strength of faith, which like You and I share, in the sense that we want every occupant of this universe, to have her/his culture and lifestyle given a chance, that is what The Masai "minority" are asking for. They,like all of us dont fancy extinction. In the initial stages, of the first phase of this long and gruesome but, noble journey. Ive Learnt a lot and sure will value that from the deeper most part of my soul. One of the things I found interesting is the Maasai saying "It easy to destroy a house but building a new one takes time, it takes a thousand years to construct a new life style", we both know these to be true, its natures law for both (civilized and primitive) alike. We all have same life goals, and that´s life itself. Its the most important thing we all aspire to have, our next lung full. This gave me hope for another step on my maasai soul journey, every breath that I took was precious, more than any quantity of gold, nothing material could match that. In these talk I wish to share with you some of the Maasai beliefs that have made their culture to stand the test of time, and even be considered a threat to other inferior cultures. This puts it Maasai lifestyle in a very vulnerable position. Giving the Kenyan government an easy way to prosecute them and abusing their human rights with impunity. I am sorry than it's not only in Kenya, but world wide. Maasai are pastoralists and anything to do with the cultivation of crops is considered a TABOO. The earth gives their cattle food ,is sacred. The cow is the only thing he knows and believes was given to him by his creator, to provide for his needs food (milkA?, blood and meat), shelter (dung), clothing (skin, hide). Total satisfaction, he is content with his lifestyle and for sure promises that you should not be scared of him or his culture, just keep moving, lets appreciate Life, for that’s´ what we all need. This issue of not appreciating the cultivating/tilling of land, does not in any way make him wrong and the cultivator right to take (allocate) himself in this case the civilized/government the land, which the Maasai also needs. Look here Maasai have contributed and still continue to do so to the Kenyan economy, wholesomely. The capital city Nairobi. Naivasha, Nakuru. The national game reserves Maasai Mara, Tsavo, Serengeti were once Maasai grazing land. Tourism which runs 55% of the Kenyan economy depends sorely on the Maasai. Don’t misunderstand me. I don´t mean that we want to withdraw, NO. What I am trying to show is the importance of the "Maasai" minority in our society. We don´t want to be pushed and be preserved in zoos, because the Kenyan government needs foreign exchange to run the economy, that´s UNFAIR. We aren´t asking for much, just to practice our precious, cultural lifestyles. We surely respect your "civilized" culture. How then will we know what the left hand holds for the human (culture)race? Don´t we have two sides of a coin? Is it wrong for the Maasais to follow the left side,what´s wrong with that? Like the cow which defies all the noise of the croaking frog in the streams, just to quench its thirst, the Maasai with your help, are asking the Kenyan government to set aside the land that the Maasais have been using for their livelihoods for centuries and preserve it ,lets have it as a sacred place. I shall continue exposing the human rights abuses against the Maasai "minority" by the Kenyan government, and hope that the worlds opinion will help pressurize these greedy people to re-access their position and stand at the grass root level. Lets give the Maasai and the minority (which we all are) a fair judgment. It all starts with a simple oA?ne step and the journey is underway, I hope that you feel the need to participate in this long walk. The world over has to change its wording, from civilization and primitive to come up with a more respectable and reasonable word, like (human or air) that will not mean one being superior to the other. Lets not forget that the cow has to quench....life.... You simply don't choose a culture you don't choose yourself. I don't wish to know what tomorrow holds, this moment matters and worries me more. LETTER 2 : HE WHO LAUGHS LAST LASTS THE LONGEST Pour Favour listen to the Maasai. These people are known to be very individualistic yet so honest. When they get into their initiations, the Maasai have their morals in focus. They don´t agree with so many other cultures and that´s why it poses as a threat. Very minority people rule the world. We can count on them. These noble people are controlled by nature. What will hurt nature, he knows he´ll avoid. He´s leant that and trusts nature. He appreciates life and values it preciously. When the other side of your thoughts will demand to be listened to, what will be judged. Will our verdict be fair? Every person is a member of a community, he is just alone, human being. He can´t beat nature. Look we have the birds, the wise trees. For the birds flying is the spirit. What's our spirit? Wherever your spirit leads you to, as long as you´re protecting life, nature, you have someone beside you. That´s all we need in our consciousness; someone to be a witness. The Maasai letters might be the longest laugh. If given a chance to move on with their lives. Let´s see where they´re going. Don´t stop them in their journey. It´s a noble one a just one and that one I promise you. The Maasai believes you yourself are innocent. What you know is wrong is in yourself. Laws are born of. You don´t need written laws to know that what you are doing is wrong. We´ve cultured that we respect life. Morals are not taught in schools. You are not born alone. Some other members of the communA?ity have also come into being. A bird has been hatched, an elephant is pregnant, has conceived, a tree has grown new shoots, an insect has hatched. Nature controls. Please listen to these people. Stop oppressing them. Let them also live. You should not be a judge of his or decide for him his lifestyle. Unless you´re scared of, their culture. With the support for truth we´ll be giving the Maasai culture and the world another chance. You never know. They still respect nature so they might be the ones to be preserved. And we might rescue the world´s mind of thought. We will be the last people to stop honoring, dealing honestly with nature, the last person with nature. He´s the go-between betwixt human race and the rest of the community. He knows better from personal experience. He respects nature, respects mama. The Maasai´s schooling system is amongst the only threatening schools of thought that still exist. They still value life, very satisfied by their style of life our unborn children will never go wrong. They were schooling from a tender age, building up their morals, learning the value of honesty, culturing the value of the community members. They had jobs, ready ones, and they loved it. Their schooling guaranteed them a livelihood. What's wrong with that. They became professors of their culture and best in that profession of pasturalism. Nature designated a responsibility, which is simple, providing for another life. Just feed the cow, following the cow, it leads your where it can get good green fertile pasture and it only eats grass which you can´t eat yourself, but you keep competing with it for that grass. We are taking advantage of this unharmful yet primitive community member, abusing its rights. If you let grass grow as it was, we´d sure be getting enough for use. We´d get balanced diets, we´d get milk. Listen, even the fruits will still be enough and not over-produced, monotonous and boring. Every season has its own kind of foods that your body needs at that moment, at that time. Where flesh is sacrifice, in the other culture, flesh is the best not the soul, material is better that´s where the Maasai differ with these cultures. Not what the other culture says is right must be right. No, just be fair. Let the Maasai be Mafala/Dom/Primitive. They are content and thankful for that name. For at least your know him. You. As long as you know you´re doing wrong. You don´t need to be given written laws to be moral. It´s within you. Let´s try to have the longest laugh. And for sure together we can liberate the maasai minority. Listen to these Goeros primitives pleading for justice. He does not care what name you decide to call him he knows now that its him your take as stupid, you´ve taken his kindness for weakness. Maasais are very spiritual. I repeat this again. He respects nature respects each other. The Maasai and nature are serious partners when it comes to honesty and respect. The struggle only needs your support, your moral supports mean support. It means your/we are sober and normal as we should. Left, or front. No one is certain with progress. We always say we are developing whereto are we moving/facing. Who is right about his development? Where do we draw the line? Me and You. Let´s respect honesty. It´s hard for the Maasais to be enslaved while you are watching. You are now aware. You can´t excuse yourself that you didn´t know; at least you have a rough idea. Let´s not live to regret as it's still early. We can re-direct our necessities, our values, our fairness and our honesty. What must be, surely must be. I hope you´re still a part of this liberation journey. However hard, it´s always full of initiations. Everyday is a new day and should be respected celebrated and enjoyed for as long as it exists. Perfect nature. Not that the Maasai people are not, or can´t be dishonest, they are and will still continue to be. What they do respect is truth & honesty. Even though the other culture has tried to infiltrate, the Maasai people (noble) they still stand together as a unit. Only the leaders are the agents of divide. This has brought about disunity. When our leaders agreed, accepted to the single units which they didn´t need in the first place they accepted greed. They became dishonest and started convincing others in their direction. They own land, how can they own land, own nature? That is the same as telling one you own air, or intend to.It´s natural, different places with different atmosphere, different types of air. Maasai´s are nomads (pasturalists) today, still in the Savannah. The maasais have been walking past various cultures in their long journeys and have seen them fall, but, yes, that´s what has made us still respect and defend our lifestyle in a different way. That´s why I said that these "maasai letters" will/or shall/or might bring or put me in an awkward position, a risky one for that matter, But I stand by the maasai.I stand by my word, the real honesty in all. That´s what remains in the Maasai spiritual culture and belief, managing to defend and move on despite all the trials and temptations. They´re the people who still give a chance, no matter what, but still; they are taken as primitive. Because they can still afford you a chance, they culture honesty. It´s your responsibility to be honest. Imagine yourself in a team going to raid cattle, in which you´ve already sent a warning. You´re all brothers, it´s a game. When you move and it´s fertile you can afford to feed and make the stolen cattle like you and adapt to your part or company. Despite the fact you know the owners of the cattle will come for them one day, one night. That´s your responsibility, which God gave to you. Honestly. Unlike the other cultures which don´t respect that. What were they given as a responsibility, what are they looking forward to tomorrow? Do they really care about life? Do they value it anymore? Where is progress heading to? We the minority still does. And that´s why we are trying to assist in a better way forward, struggling to maintain our Maasai culture. The maasai can´t stand the loss of their lives again. They can´t. Should we at least be given a chance and allowed to live our style of life, for that´s all we´re craving for, that´s all we´re asking for. Let´s continue valuing life, and if that´s what primitive means we´ve already accepted that definition. Let us enjoy the fruits of primitivity, as it´s not easy to be one. It takes a lot of truth, brotherhood and honesty, which not all of us in the civilized culture value. Land brings back the real honesty of all in the Maasai. We´ve never wanted to fail in our responsibility. That´s our life, we have to protect it. We must protect it. How can our cattle live, our beautiful zebu, inkishu. What would we be doing in our new failed lives, our changed spiritual faith? We need a delegation, our empika when we deal and get into any agreement this time. Let´s practice the real honesty in all. The Maasai´s are willing to honor it once again. It might change or lead us into the imagined world, the good times. Let´s practice what we preach; civilization and we primitives to do likewise. We can´t do away with it, it has to be there, and we the maasais are happy to be in it, fully participating and very sober in watch-out for what we choose from the neighboring cultures. Aids is taking its toll on the Maasai population just like in any other community which lost its morals that were engraved in their cultures. When they come out of their culture in search of money (employment) what they have been forced to: Slaves/skivi´s. They are mostly employed as night watchman risking their lives at night in robbery-infested areas with prostitution and alcohol taking the center-stage from nature´s theatre of wildlife and responsibility that they´re used to in the bush Savannah Empire. They´re the most vulnerable, working at night in the city, not a worthy alternative. An individual controls the pay; you´re not free to decide for yourself, it´s not your culture. Nature has always been your judge. This time round you have to start culturing money as fast as you can. Otherwise. One finger can´t kill a flea. Tagwenya LETTER 3: THE REAL HONESTY For the first time in my life I feel like I am moving towards freedom by having you to help in the liberation of the "Maasai" minority. Thanks to civilization. We can reach each other quicker despite the difference. We can use the media; for sure this time I am falling in love, Oh Yes. I wish the Maasais could get this feeling, abandon their primitive culture and join in the fury of civilization. I wish we were given a choice, maybe they would have chosen "civilization", but forcing them creates suspicion and that´s why we´ve always been termed as inquisitive. Yes, we are. You betrayed our honesty and trust. Let me be shown (sec) the good of your culture and have the chance to join in or not. Don´t force me by making life unbearable by your actions and with your abuse of human rights. I always hope that we shall be friends, and whatever happened we forgive you; just let´s be honest, and respect my culture. You are the best, I know and accept you as I don´t know the angels, whom I am always told are better. Why I feel free is that, back in Kenya, a Maasai, wouldn´t be given a chance to be heard. No one will care to give him a hearing. Talk of the Court of laws, which we´ve come to nickname the "court of whims". The press/ media, which are all owned by individuals, with interest, in the government; and will never let the world know what they don´t want them to know; the abuse of "The Maasai". They only inform you as to what is correct and acceptable to them It´s amazing that just in the same (continent) Africa - there is a place, where the press is liberal. That´s a great plus for South Africa. Unlike our other African countries, I think the South African media is way ahead, steadily steering the continent in the right direction. This is what we the Maasais would appreciate and term as civilized democracy. Yes, that´s it. We also had it within us in our communities. We were never dictators, never had leaders who dictated. We had elders (council of elders); very liberal, very HONEST in their decisions. And we trusted them. I wish the Kenyan Press could borrow a leaf from our South African brothers, kin and that would change the Kenyan development scene in a positive way. Sure, Trust me. Not that I don´t appreciate the fact that everyone has his/her own problems, and thus everyone carries his own burden. We´ve always been known to do that, we´ve been very independent since time immemorial. Only now that we are asking for your support, because we are members of the wider society, which is governed by nature's laws, and thus when we feel threatened, we ask fellow members to come in. We can´t do it alone. When everything is set to work against our culture, our lifestyle. They´ve branded us primitive and we don´t have a problem with that. Because we define and understand that as meaning a people who follow their cultural way of life, the people who, choose to follow an independent route to life. A people who respect and value life; they are the people who are free from the bondage of civilization and, continue participating in the evolution of mankind. Thats what we primitive people are, we respect our environment, we adore nature, and we for sure like it and feel content with that definition. And yes you are right. We need more than one finger.
