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...

I want to go back I want to go back to Ghana where I can play in the sand When the time had no direction and we had nothing to worry about; it was worth it. Just so you know, the hourglasses had no sand And we would have every reason to gaze in awe of the moon while lying on our back There were times when we did not know how to react to the beats from the band Talk of "we are going; heaven knows where we are going"  a tune from way back Please put the cassette on replay, I want to listen to the Osibisa band. Gosh, I want to go back I want to go back I want to go back to the days I had no worries In my childhood when I could play till dusk When families were always together In one piece, we peacefully gathered around the dancing flames And friends stuck with each other even in the withered storms To those days when grandpa was our hero And the father was hailed by all when he came back from hunting, accompanied by bush meat To those days befo...

The aftermath of the actions we took when we were young, with strong faith, hope, and determination. The decisions we made when we still believed those wild dreams would someday become realities, and oh! they did but not all because, Some faded out silently, some dried up in the desert, others got soaked and settled  at the bottom of the deep blue sea, oops!! Nevertheless, we keep on chasing after those we can, so it becomes a reality. Given the prospects, we have come far enough to give up and we have much more  to cover distance beyond the reach of the eye. Oh! Yes, we can! Marking time on a spotless spot is meaningless So we’re marching on from the right spot to greater heights. Don't throw in the towel in those trying moments, they come once in a while. Work towards success and make it happen. Take cues from how you made it this far, affirm your grounds and carry on.  Worry not because it does not take away tomorrow's trouble but today's ...

Don't let your dream be a whim. Pressure shouldn't hinder your vim! If the face of your future doesn't appeal, go get a trim. If your dreams depict a sea, go take a swim! One soul on an adventurous quest... Flipping through pages of life with zest. Like the sun rises from the east only to set in the west; Courageously passing every test to complete the quest. In the future, be the guest who responded to the request. Though you might not have enough beauty to please your viewing pleasure, Nor speak proficiently to soothe your listening ear Nor be convincing enough to make you believe everything about me, Nor be smart enough to break Guinness world records... Yet you have something to offer! They have your attention now, cheers. See this, if you don't have a father figure, then you might not have the feathers to fly farther and further in life. Express your gratitude to your mother for the magnanimity she nurtured you with. You must do all you can whi...
