Goodmorning and Goodnight were just words,
Sunrise to sunset we could just laugh,
We could play untill dusk,
Breakfast and lunch we could skip fast,
We didn’t have a difference with our fasting parents.


Childhood friends where are you?,
Kiriambu and talas were so fast,
Let me mention my Athletee friends fast,
Rivers,hills and Mountains we could just run,
From kashanga to Maasaimara we could just run.


Wildbeast and hyenas didn’t harm,
We didn’t have plans but we learnt as we hanged out,
Across the Savannah sounds were just heard,
Being a child was fun,life was not that hard,
Rikacha was the best we could have.


Since majority of my friends could love,
The game had a lot of fun,
You could find some of our parents as fans,
My Childhood friends where are you?,
Milk and meat our best meal we could skip to play Rikacha.

Meeli and Ndeeti we still remember,
That you left us on December,
After we played our last rikacha,Near river Pilanwa,
That’s why we still remember rikacha,
Pilanwa being the worst place, Since it replaced your names badly Meeli and Ndeeti my childhood friends.

Bye bye to The bad and good Childhood memories,
I miss my friends Meeli and Ndeeti,
I miss my favourite game rikacha,
From Kashanga to Maasaimara we could just run.

This is me and my younger brother in the picture, that is after I came from hearding cattles so I was taking some fresh milk mixed with some traditional medicine.He was greeting me after coming from playing with his friends since morning.I guess you can see how his legs look like he has dust from toe to head, his lips are dry meaning he didn’t eat anything since morning so even before I asked him which game he had been playing, I obviously knew this was Rikacha my favorite game when I was young boy. This gave me memories of my friends Ndeeti and meeli who were swept away by river pilaswa.The picture is just but a small description which inspired me to write this piece.May the best come out of it.Thankyou.
