DUMB NATION

 Are we dumb? Or brainwashed?

How else do we keep making the same wrong choices?
Choices that don't help us,
Choices that don't improve our livelihoods,
What happened to merit?
What do they offer us during campaign that makes us sell our futures?
Are we contributing to a sustainable development for future generations?
What situation are you bringing your child in to?
Are you sure this is what you want for them?
We are failing ourselves as a country, do we even deserve to complain?

It takes a-lot of will, sacrifice and integrity to rise as a state
Greed has become a normal way of life
Are you asking yourself how you are contributing?
Before you cast a vote are you 100% sure it's on merit?
Before you receive or give a bribe, you are saying yes to a dead future?
Would you want your child to miss an opportunity because of something you helped breed?
How can you want progressiveness and growth if you are contributing to the problem?
Who told you that your tribe is more important than human life, integrity or morality?
Are you not tired of always making the wrong decisions?

Stop for a moment and deep everything.
Real CHANGE starts with you and me. Wake up people of my time!

Show me who your friends are and I'll tell you who you are Is dead to me

The world we live in right now is very socially constructed and the phrase “Show me who your friends are and I'll tell you who you” is very popular in every society. I have believed this phrase to be true for a very long time. This is until I interacted with different people from different societies, beliefs and of different religion.  The environment we grow in really shapes the kind of people we become. The way of life our societies are accustomed to shapes the people we become. Even the families we grow up in shape who we are. Do not get me wrong... the phrase has a lot of truth to it especially if its easy for you to fall victim of peer pressure for example becoming a thief or drug user if you hang around such characters.  But the basis of this writing is based off of human understanding. I feel that it’s important to understand people individually because each person has a story of what makes them who they are.  If you remain conscious to human understanding the...

STILL I STAND

"I was sexually assaulted!" How do i even say it to my parents and mates? How do i start the conversation? Yes i was drunk.. Will they understand? I only had one glass of vodka diluted with sprite Was i drugged? What did the culprit add in my drink? You were my friend, of course you can stay over We were both drunk anyway.. but you were conscious I trusted you to get me home safe Do you even realize what you did? To be honest, i myself just recently discovered that it was assault (years later) Why did i let it happen? Was it my fault? I carry the hurt, shame and a secret that is soo hard to tell I forgave you and still kept you as a friend Our society is not open to such conversations, so how do i hold a grudge when YOU don't know any better? Dear African girl, i am sorry you have to endure and carry some burdens alone. How soon will this conversations begin? Will the generation of my time atleast educate their children?
