Change

I heard them say i've changed,
I looked around and fell still,
I guess i did change
Coz thats not me,
Thats not even my shadow.

So i looked again
I listened a little more
I felt deeper into my being
Have i really changed
Or Have i been changed

The voices just got louder
Their sense of Wonder
Wat happened to me,
i heard them say
so Profane
So i felt Deep within

They Made it sound like i had an Affinity For this Change,
Never Once stopping to think that it Was Human,
Yes it is But A Propensity Within Us All,
We are Destine For Change.

So I Paused,
There Was No Applause,
Then I Felt it,
The reality That This Was No Change,
'T was jus me finally being me,
Did they Know Me so little My friends

Wat they knew was pretext,
They had wanted a certain kind of friend and i had Obliged,
No i did not Change
You just see me in a different light.

Change,
No Affinity For It
Am just Propelled By A Sudden Propensity,
Change is but a word used by men.
A word of fear for ways about to part.

We've come this far,
I have to go further,
Go with me or fall behind,
No i have not changed
You just reached yo destination,
Mine is yonder.

Yo in the picture,
But i see now the larger picture.
In it yo just but a stroke of destiny's brush,
I see the Future,
I want You in it.
I want you to be a larger stroke on the brush of destiny.
But then, that is entirely up to you...

60 seconds

How long is 60 seconds?  The simple answer would be one minute. Philosophically speaking time is the experience of durations thus in reality 60 seconds can pass in the blink of an eye but at times it can feel like a lifetime.  I had always thought I would die a natural death; sleep never to wake up again. Old and grey surrounded by family. I never figured it would end like these two gunshots and a pool of blood. Her cries and tears, strangers trying to pull her away from my bleeding body. Her eyes and being willing me to live as they try to bring breathe to my lifeless body. To live 30 years and die in a minute from two bullets meant to scare, one from the law and the other from the wrong side of the law.  Am getting a head of myself, lets go back to the beginning: It was a normal day for the three of us we all did our morning routines, one innocent man, a bank robber and a cop. No stranger threesome has ever been concocted. 5:20  we all woke up and looked to the si

HEARTLESS

Tuesday 12:30 am Sirens rang over the city as fire trucks and ambulances converged on an isolated house at the edge of Karura forest. The fire was spreading to the trees, threatening to torch Wangari Maathai’s legacy. Alone and seemingly paralyzed in the would be parking lot of the house stood an eight-year-old boy and right beneath his feet lay his four-year-old sister. He stared into the abyss as if waiting for something or someone to reach out, oblivious of the firefighters and the first responders who were by now trying to break into the blazing inferno. His sister grubs his leg as she comes to; he reaches down and lifts her up never once turning his gaze away from the spreading fire. ‘Are you ok, let me examine you’ One responder jolts him back to the madness going on around him. He looks straight into her eyes with an empty gaze that mirrors the sense of loss that he has just undergone. His clothes are burnt and shredded, some pieces adhesively glued to his skin, clear

RIDDLE ME THIS

How do you know you exist. Who are we? Are we alive or just alive transmission of societal affirmation? Have we become what is expected or are we who we want to be? If I was about to jump off a balcony who would be there to stop me? If I bought a gun who would I be after myself or the ghosts that haunt me? Is my life a drop in the ocean or is it the spring of life that feeds the rivers and lakes that rejuvenate the ocean? Am I a noise in the crowd or am I that unique beat that keeps the music going? Am I outstanding, standing, slanting, sliding, slipping, falling or fallen? Am I a visionary, successful, succeeding, progressing, regressing, regretting, failing or failure? Can you see it when you look at me? Will I see it when I look in the mirror? I know what I am but who am I? Riddle me that.
