When we awoke in the morning electricity and water were missing
The mathree we boarded broke down up a hill, forcing us to find alternative transport
Our supervisors criticised us for arriving to work late
During the day we read and responded to many emails
During the day we made and answered many phone calls
During the day we received and sent many text messages
In the evening we encountered winding traffic jams
Our bodies were tired when we reached home
Do we have to really, really pray tonight?
During the day we had to contend with rude colleagues
During the day we had to contend with dissatisfied clients
During the day we attended unnecessary meetings
In the evening we encountered winding traffic jams
Our bodies were tired when we reached home
Do we have to really, really pray tonight?
During the day we worked extra hours to beat deadlines
During the day we worked out at gyms
During the day we attended workshops, refresher courses, evening classes...
In the evening we encountered winding traffic jams
Our bodies were tired when we reached home
Do we have to really, really pray tonight?
During the day we lost our mobile phones to muggers
During the day we paid parking fees to both the Nairobi City Council parking attendants and something extra to street children to 'protect' our side mirrors from thieves
During the day we saw a former colleague, schoolmate, neighbour... in the obituaries
In the evening we encountered winding traffic jams
Our bodies were tired when we reached home
Do we have to really, really pray tonight?
