The Conflicts of My heart and Mind.

I tried to understand the world and the choices we make.
I tried to put into line my thoughts that are too scattered for freedom.
Thoughts stolen by the gap in a reality of a father I never had.
A mother who went too soon to feel the wrath of  an only sons full achievement.
Thoughts stolen by a heart that knows not how to fully be bound without two like others for them .
Parents.

I tried to understand the world but my thoughts were stolen.
They were stolen by the girl that i first fell inlove with .
The one I wrote love  letters and met behind the classroom to hold hands and feel pure for.
The one that first taught me that love is a myth and hearts are for breaking and feeling
but some of us live out of this world when we're in it hence it's real.
The one that took off the eye cap of that beautiful lie and showed  me the ugly truth .
That people are selfish and your investment in their emotion is useless lest they too have invested equitably.

I tried to understand the world but my thoughts were stolen.
They were stolen by knowledge I didn't really have and a love to learn but sometimes curiosity often killed the cat.
I learned that drugs exist and they can take you away.
Blank out everything and bring about the best peace mountain for yout monk mind.
Meditation and Patience.
I also learned that it took you.
It took your weight your thoughts your schedule your lifestyle. 

Also the colour of your lips .

And left you with nothing but scorn from the outside world.

I tried to understand the world but my thoughts were stolen.
They were stolen by the call of the nightlife , the tune of the sound and the will to move. The drowning of sorrows in the noise and the sight of ridiculous joy.
The glitz and the glamour, the chills and the thrives.
I was taken.

I tried to understand the world but my thoughts were stolen
They were stolen by these network,
Your Facebook my snapchat, her insragram, and his Twitter.
They were stolen when I was proclaimed a keyboard warrior and formed part of the elite that sucked us further from humanity.
Placed is deep into our phones and plunged us deeper into the pit of emptimindedness.
I lost my table manners and came to forget that these things exist to bring us closer to one anothero but the bowl of isolation seems to melt into the depth of further solitude for each of us.

I tried to understand the world but my thoughts were stolen...
They were stolen for I am human and temptation was sold to me in worldy things and I bought it.
I paraded it in my existence and it tied to me as if it was created for me.

I tried to understand the world but my thoughts were stolen.
They were stolen by the quest for peace in my heart and the hope of a better tomorrow. 
The desire to be complete and  cries to be free.

I tried to understand the world but my thoughts were stolen
They were stolen by a reality that everything around was not meant to be understood and life was meant to make you stand under the veil of your own comprehensions protection.
I wanted to understand but my thoughts were stolen.

They were stolen by you, by the world , they were stolen because I had no safe.

So please tell me
how could I be safe.

When I could not understand.

Worthy!

You are a fighter.
You walk with the shadows but carry the light deep within you. 
You're a pure form of art, something like x  or pi...
The mathematics equation.
We just don't know.
Not everybody will understand you... but don't let that stop you.
Allow your light to spark the mind that changes the world.
Be the change you wish to see and live forever.
You are
Greatness
Forget that not.

Side Note.

I've been writing stories with my life.
Been on a moonshine mission.
Doing the most here and there and surviving elsewhere.
I hope this place is your peace.
I hope in this realm you don't lose your voice.

Happiness.

If you are one that make other people's happiness a priority that supersedes your own.
Stop, re-evaluate the situation and see if the satisfaction garnered from there eases you. More often than not many shall admit we do things for other people's happiness.
The reasons are endless here...
[ insert yours here]

Personal satisfaction becomes a child in the eye of making sure x and y are happy.  Everything  you do will desire the acknowledgment of another only then at times will you feel the satisfaction . You become dependant on the need to have someone around in order to do something that makes you happy. That honestly ruins you.

True happiness isn't depentent on anyone but you.
You have to dissociate from the requisite of individuals to influence your peace. Love yourself with the love  of a god for their subject.
Live yourself with desperation that drives the force to change.
Perform regular introspections as they keep you aligned with your objectives .
You'll learn to take well care of yourself in those circumstances.
"If you change,  you don't remain the same'.
If you don't change, you remain the same".

When they thought we didn't learn.

With hope filled hearts we made our way here.

We settled and made a home away from ours. 

Made friends, formed families and most of us never lost the vision.

We never lost the intelligence to reason so we couldn’t understand.

How! How we came and learned before we made the affiliations.

How we learned in our different capacities.

How you taught us that justice, and fairness are essential to decision making.

How you raised brows with your lectures of morality, dignity and integrity.

How you expanded our reasoning in calculating complexities so as to come to logical and probable conclusions.

How empathy and the best interest of the child was so much in your preaching yet you mock us now.

You attempt to

You tied us with your bandage of oppression

Apprehend us with your cuffs of silence.

Being Deep under the spell of corruption

You destroy the opportunity at life we have here today

You gobble the resources and

And burn the funds in your making merry.

By virtue of your regulations you cut out our tongues one by one.

You attempt to muffle the voices of our rebellion.

You stab the heart of our revolution

Dismantle the assembly of our association

But not today.

Not in a world where the pioneers of the moral standard have laid precedent.

When stories of the conquered liberation where told to us in the evolution of our generation.

When you have read us the book of rights and told us to live by those principles.

We refuse to be mentally incarcerated in prisons to fill your illicit fueled advancement

 Even if you place the condition of infinity on the duration of your plight.

We shall not bow.

In protest and advocacy we’ll fight for our peace.

We’ll be the thorn in your foot.

The disturbance to your tranquil.

For we belong to the free world.

We are the children of struggles.

Guardians of the woke lands.

The bud of seeds planted in rough and dry soil.

The light at the end of the tunnel has long been shown to us.

We’ve been told The Eden of our struggles has promised our welcome.

So be informed…

The reach of the effort in our quest

Is if need be

Until kingdom come.

Psalm African Child/ An African Childs memoir.

Today we take a walk in a land of time long gone yet so has much impact.

To a day when we lost many in life but gained in struggle.

When choice was not ours and force was their voice.

When pain screamed in its silence and life was lost in violence

When being black was a curse and being educated often worse.

That is the time I wish to take you to.

When choice and rights where are a  myth

And your voice could be your death.

When tyranny sat on the throne and segregation was the mission.

When one race flourished while the other withered in its thriving.

We swallowed the pieces of a conspired education.

That, that is the time I wish to take you to.

When we lived for a purpose straight out of destiny’s box.

When we had our fill of this omens cough

We cured ourselves of the abomination

And contributed to the plight of the rebirth of a nation

 We broke the chains of the mental slavery

And succeeded here today for an education that is optimal as needed to be.

We prevailed though with the count of men down.

The past has left us only with this.!
what is to come. And here, and now!

So may their deaths have meaning and bring out the best in you

So as to prove their struggle was genuine and true.

Happy African Child day.

The return?

Hey guys,

 I haven't written a lot  recently.
My time has been vested in my other endeavors,  {the books and gigs and radio presenting and blah blah blah.....) but  I've kept up with reading to some extent yeah.
So I can say that many things have been going on around me and it makes my mind boil in anticipation to put thoughts on paper but yeah, writers will get the drill mostly i think.
I've felt my presence here has been absent and it's time I kinda get back to this a little more consistently apart from captions on social networks yes? cool. So this is what is going to follow.
I am going to post two pieces I wrote very recently.
 Like one from Thursday and one I just wrote this morning.
The First one after this is a dedication to the commemoration of African child day, it's about how we as
as the youth in our era's have always have fought to prevail colonialism in all faces.
The second ones was inspired by the cumulative events that have sparked a lot of controversy recently between academic administrators including not excluding the other branches of educational institutions against students yeah.I pray you take a little time after you finish reading em, that's if your still feeling my flow after this yeah.
Indulge and provide feedback where you can.
It always feels good to know that what one writes can spark discourse that will lead to solutions on many issues.
Thank YOU again for being here.
Happy reading.

More Life.

Sometimes we create situations  for ourselves with consequences way out of the reach of our inner natural order.
Things homes teaching never brought our minds to.
We fall for wrong people; we make the wrong friends, we make shitty  life decisions, we act out and then we become destitute...

We adopt alien deamenours and paint them in new age titles..
. "Hook up culture, liberals.. free mindness... you name it"
Traits that were at times not passed down to us by those who came before us.
Evolution has advanced so deep that change requires change in definition.

The Apple of every new generation seems to be falling further from the tree with every new coming future.
In philosophy,ethics, morals, lifestyles etc...
We do all these nasty, embarrassing and humiliating things.

But AYYY!
That is the beauty of existence.
True existence that brings with it a package of memories made, and the ability to learn.
To learn from past experiences and be able to act according to the  intellectualism of your growth.
In knowing the hope that despite not all is  perfect NOW, tomorrow will be a better day and  therein you know lies happiness.
Find your happiness and inner piece.
Accept the things you cannot change and change the things you won't accept.
Difference requires effort.
It's not really the external vibe that should matter, but it's how you feel inside and how you can learn to remedy and mend your broken self from all the pain and hurt of past experience.

It isn't easy so don't be so hard on yourself . Applaud yourself when you need to, treat yourself, pat yourself on the back and always have a contingency plan..
Learn independence.
You are your most important investment.
Know your worth and remind yourself that gold and diamonds shine and that should always be reflected by the radiance of your joy.
Live. Thrive. Prosper..

More life to you and yours.

Dear Becoming Educated

To any scholar out there, especially the grade 10's and 12's of the Land of the Brave. People are failing and the numbers only seem to be increasing year by year. Don't start a new year with new uniform and worry about how shiny your shoes look or how short your skirt looks or how nice your blazer looks. These are material things bought by your elders with money most likely hard earned you see.

You go to school and instead of giving your all to your books you give your all to your friends, to your cliques and to the social evils that hold many people down. Some of you know you have great potential yet you ruin yourself with indulging into things that are not relevant, you fool around in class, you ignore doing homework you dodge classes you become reluctant to take opportunities such as Higher level because of other peoples negative opinions yet these people are not you.

You fail to priorities and plan, you fail to set yourself a vision which is the same as planning to fail. The streets will embrace you nice, nice. You will become the talk of your hood, the shame in your family the laughing stock of your peers.

I don't know you personally but if you have reached this stage i know you care for who you want to be some day, just give your final year a little time ey, tell yourself you will become someone and work towards the achievements of those goals.

Let other people's experience be what teaches you, do not always have to fail inorder to pass. Yes! it is possible but you have a chance now and if you are blessed with opportunity, use it and go forward

Use your family, your aspirations, your dreams, your ambitions to be your inspiration and become someone. Break the chain of failure and be added to this years passing class percentage. Look at those who have gone before you and let their results be your fuel ey.

You are in school for many reasons but remember it is for yourself first and ey this does not mean the end of your social life, just set yourself straight divide the time and all will be okay.

Good luck for this academic year ey.
Go make your dreams come true
