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.
