Little Randomness

Those little random thoughts,
Little random thoughts that stay far too long within,
A great idea to initiate that thought,
To finally put it down into action,

I read a piece,
Of a wish that a man said,
"A time like this next year, you'll wish you had started today" ,
And that made me think, got me thinking...

Those little random thoughts I always had,
It's time to put them down in paper,
So I did,
Yet they never seemed sensible,
Time passed...

And it's years later now,
Maybe two, three or ten later,
So I decided,
Am gonna rise from this great ass of mine....

And finally make my random thoughts count!

Through My Daughter's Eyes

I have a little angel in my house. A little pretty, flower girl that throws her hands up whenever I come home. A sign of appreciation and admiration I suppose. She's a bright little piece of art. Learning things very fast. Words, actions all in a manner that's a combination of pretty, witty, funny and cute. Yet she doesn't forget an action or word said. May it be an advert on tele, a weird random action I just did unknowingly. It sticks in her little mind. Sticks and never goes away. So we mind our language whenever we are around her. We watch what we do, the programmes we subject her to, because whatever she sees, she copies and permanently pastes in her little head. Shes an awesome piece. She seems to appreciate life every time she wakes up. Giving off a soft mourn so that I can know she has just woken up. And when I do, she seems to tell me with her eyes. Well, mummy, am glad to be living. The brightness in her face and eyes are priceless. When in most cases I woul...

Who made us judge(s)?

"You looked at her and yelled out, Instantly never thinking of how, That may have made her feel. Did you ever stop to think that she, Dressed like that because of how it Made her feel?...." The poem reads in part. When I first read this poem, I said to myself, "oh jeez number one culprit of judgement". You see, am always judging people. I will make a comment in mind of how a woman has dressed,make a face and go "whatever" when someone looks at my legs. I have never really taken time to ask myself why a person is how they are. Am sure the throne of judgement gets sat on by each one of us..on a daily basis. Do you cringe when you see people kiss or hold hands in public? Whisper words like, "braggers", "she will get dumped". Do you find yourself laughing at a fat person and quickly judge her? "consequences of french fries", "how does one get that fat? Wasn't she checking?". Or when you see a man in sweat s...

An African Divorce Chapter

One great thing about life is the second chances it gives to us all. Granted, a few of us are born with silver spoons...some have to work a little bit harder than others..many of us though, really have to work extra hard to enjoy the benefits of life's pleasures. But there's only one thing we all have to experience. Either rich, poor or middle-class(dont we just love adding this? *wink), we all have to risk and marry people we deem fit for our liking...beings we believe we can spend our futures with. People we risk living with by entrusting them with our secrets, hearts, bodies or even children. Aliens who may turn out to be beasts in sheep clothing...devouring our innocent children and raping them while we are at work, beasts that cheat on us when we least expect it, beasts that preach water and comfortably brew wine when we finally put that ring on. And that's the hardest part. Some of us make bad choices, some are a bit lucky and choose carefully. All...
