In Her Hands: Bleeding Dreams (Ink)

    Life seems, to most us, a monotonous system where one believes in a certain way of making a living or following a specific routine that has been set and travelled before. The system consists of being born and religiously raised to follow certain oppressive means of living and making it in life.   Amongst a generation, born is a gene, amid the rational ones, who believes that climbing the same train that has rotated and still rotates in the destinations that are deemed to be of efficiency or of the “qualified,” is somewhat adamant to what she believes in. that gene doesn’t only exist in myself, but abides   in most of us.   Fear sometimes skips a generation, but in times that we live in, it is imposed and lives in every generation. The other imposes it then it transforms to be self-imposed fear. Courage , however, does not find comfort than fear does in such minds, for it is not a quality that religiously lives in the life of a black man, as it is considered a danger zon

In Her Shoes: The Sweeping Hands

I have a mother, which is a precious encounter that one still has on this earth. She has slept in hospitals as if it was my first home and woke up beside me; make sure that I am still exchanging life with air. In her life, she is known to be the one responsible for taking care of the household, the cleaning, the children, the cooking. She is the sweeping hands in almost everything. Most of us can relate that to our mothers or yourself as a mother.  I wonder if one ever wondered whether they ever dreamt of being a mother or becoming the hands that sweep. As a young girl, most of us, play with dolls and emulate being a mother to a model of a human being, specifically, a baby or young woman. However, it subconsciously sticks to your mind throughout your teenage years to your adulthood where one is in a time where they consciously think of family, when it is just a subconscious reminder of caressing dolls. It sometimes brings out the child in you although the child in you cannot take car

The Brazen Altar

Someone might have told you this or you may have heard someone say "Don't cry for spilt milk, Clover is on its way".  When one is faced with situations it seems like you're losing everything that you've worked tirelessly for and just when you thought that all is falling into place, it all falls apart. The Brazen Altar is an Altar of burnt offering, the place where natural, earthly things that hinder your walk with God are consumed by the fire of God. Not only is it a place of sacrifice but a preparation stage for the best. The best thing with facing challenges is knowing that the best is yet to come. Even though we are made of flesh but when one goes through fire we ought to be the steel in the fire that still stands when ashes remain. We lose things that may have meant the world to us although we don't know that they are sacrifices for things to come that will mean the universe.  Holding on to things won't make things better if one wants what

  You are cordially invited to celebrate the failure of succeeding of Miss/Mr ______. (S)he has played a significant role in trying to make it in life. (S)he has done so many things that (S)he thought were a success, but failed to succeed. Either way, this person didn't succeed to fail, but failed to succeed.

The person who failed to succeed is the person who tried, regardless of, the demographic/ psychographic / gender / income nor race, to make it in life.

Crouching Misdemeanours

“The earth is at peace, there is no hunger, there is no violence, the environment is healed. Honesty, courtesy and kindness are practiced by all. Our world has never been more perfect. Only it is no longer our world, we have been invaded by an alien race. They occupy the bodies of almost all human beings on this planet. The few humans who have survived are on the run.”   These words are from a movie translation of a book called ‘The Host’ by Stephenie Meyer. It may seem like I tend to do more of movie review posts, but truth is I’m more inclined to watch a movie or read a book more than three times to find what the book/movie is about under altered atmospheres. And every time I do so, I feel as if different people read it. Concerning these words from this movie, you may begin to wonder and imagine this kind of, “the earth at peace, no hunger and violence.” Then you begin to weigh it against reality, our reality is that these things do not exist everywhere, the contrary

Living Memories– Unforgettable

OBITUARY “Goitsemang Sandra ________, unknown age, died at unknown age, she is survived by her husband, and 5 kids, she was known for her beautiful smile and her words that touched and changed lives of so many. She always strives for generosity and love, may her loving dearest soul rest in peace.” It begins here. So many people do not appreciate nor recognize someone’s good deeds until their gone. People know about the things you have done for them after your death. Some do not even acknowledge the little things you do for them whilst you are still alive.   We often strive to make a living out of life and tend to forget live a life of living memories. We are vulnerable to the dis-ease of, “You will never know what you have until it’s gone.” We forget to appreciate the people we meet in life and embrace them to create unforgettable memories. The purpose of life is to love, live, learning and laugh. However, we tend to forget that easily and be blinded by the contrar
