Inside the maze

Reality check; life seems to present me with camouflaged routes.
But I believe my end shall be glorious.
I will genuflect in praise of my Father for his goodness

It is no surprise that every human being is defensive even in trivial matters
We can't seem to be enough for ourselves
We toil day in and day out, we sacrifice a lot just to make ends meet.
In all aspects of our lives, we desire perfection and much more.
But how much is enough?

At a point in my life, I wanted to become everything I had imagined possible
Being a blessed family man, prolific public speaker and a global development advocate was on top of my list
The future is uncertain, but I am not giving up on my dreams.
I believe I am gradually becoming a visionary.

I expected nature to understand my quest to be the successful Victor in life.
I thought if I knew everything about something I will become some kind of superhero.
I contemplated living my very own fairy tale.
Sometimes I get worried, I get scared
But it is okay to be human

But the time seems to be moving faster than usual
And I feel I have not achieved anything yet
Little did I know that the universe had embarked on its own mission
To rescue me from my super wild imaginations in my wonderland

Many people came my way; we crossed paths, we walked side by side, and some exchanged ideas
Others like litmus papers became the tests and results in my life
The journey is keenly becoming interesting
But after all, I am a part of the human race
Our makeup is a lot of things
Not that we're selfish,
But we are unhappy about receiving less than we had previously.
That's what fuels our demand for extra; it means a lot to us.

But come to think of it, do we even care about the other party?
What about the third party involved or who could be affected in any way?
The effect is not in the planting of the seeds but in the harvesting of its fruits.

We can be better off than expected if only we believe
We are not defenceless, We defence less
We make people's visions futile because we negate their efforts.
Let's be interactive and be fond of what they hope to become
We could lower our egos and aspire to be selfless,
So we all emerge Victors.

Tattered Dreams

They played the part yet plot the pact. Instead of repair, they lead in the shadow to rip the earth; Our gods are not to blame but them. They have betrayed our ancestors, Posterity can wait no longer. Arriving from yonder, they have come to judge our every move, To the letter in every decision backing our move. Dear Mother, my honour is stained and tattered! To where has my father departed? It seems our collective dream has shattered, The pieces pierced our feet and bruised our skin. My siblings' wail but the elders make merry. Our village is lurking around wealth, But our daily bread is locked up in the vault. We dread treading the path to revolt, And gathering momentum outgrow our ill-health. This is not the future we dreamed of. Our dreams, precious like the mineral that has taken our place now. The elders paraded the corners of my street with pseudo promises. We’d believed for a moment but our springs quickly dried up, And they silently masterminded the raid to rip our homes...

Being the Victor

Facilitating a training session on  "How to benefit from Digital media as students and the need to promote PEACE as young people" My life is victory personified. My dad believes in winning against all odds. My mum always has her hopes up high and ready to accommodate the aroma of victory from the heavens. My sisters know that tomorrow is never promised until you win today. It means that each of us has our very own battles to win daily. We consolidate our little victories. Thus, the family defines what it means to live while knowing that grace is sufficient for us.  Till we succeed, we shall continue to persist through perseverance with our mustard faith.  We are not superhumans; we are the family and together we achieve a lot. In our peculiarities, we strive to communion in this journey while supporting each other. Reaffirming that in our weakest moments, we have ourselves. Yes, we are the family. Life, as it unfolds, has many facets to it. I am planning to tell my D...

In 2020...

We defied the odds. We make history in the present. 'Normal' is a thing of the past. Together means miles apart. Not all theories are not potent. The context is valuable content. Our survival remains constant. The reality means your breath intake is consistent. The wall is the law. A winning trump card is forbidden. And home shielded us from the omen. We understood that all things are possible. Although apart, we were more unified. Unquenchable flames were ignited in the youths. Productivity in our beds became the best option. We lived even when death looked us right in the eyes. The old generation came to appreciate the "demonic" technology. We realised profiteering was not the way of only the rich. The selfish attitudes of the yesterday are the survival tactics of today. The youth exuberance came with a new vibe. We held rallies and turned tables. We got beaten, burned, broken and barred. Then we were left with our dreams to wear on our sleeves. To all the fallen so...
