Whispers in the night!
In the quiet of the night,
I hear whispers,
“Child, the world is cruel, but you have to have find your way.”
Universe granted her wishes
She sent love to the universe,She received abundance. She sent abundance to the universe,She received gratitude. She showed gratitude to the universe,And everything was overflowing. 🌞 #optimism #affirmations
Little boy- I see you
I see him beyond the walls he has put up,
I see his little wounded self,
I see how he needs someone to listen,
But the world put him on a pedestal,
And now even on days he cannot smile, he has to.
Hope roams, I hope she finds you
Hope,
Hope was put in the universe to roam,
To find you in the deepest of trenches,
To pick you up from a bottomless pit,
Askari Jela (Prison Guard)
He spent most of his days getting to know fellow inmates and what had brought them there. He had heard it all by the time he was leaving. The prison guards would go about their day trying to ensure security is enforced but to him, the real askari jela would be unleashed at night.
Dashed hopes: Shattered Dreams
Do you see them, Young energetic and eager, Their faces brightened with hope the day they walked out of those educational institutions, With their certificates, diplomas and degrees, Their mission, To contribute and change a small part of their world. Do you see him, How he makes promises on every public platform and behind every microphone? Of economic growth, How he will address unemployment, Jobs, jobs, jobs, Technologia. Do you see them, The factories, The foreign companies, The way they close shop every day, The way the cotton farms, the pyrethrum farms, the sugarcane farms, the textile EPZ, Did you notice how they faded into thin air? Yet every year, Children of the nation filled with hope, They hope to earn a decent wage, Live decent lives. Do you see them scavenging? Their ID and certificates at hand. He will gather them at the public arena, Remind them of his humble beginnings, The son of a peasant, Making a name for himself amongst the political bigwigs, How he built from scratch, He started with an egg, And now is the biggest distributor of eggs in the east, west, north and south, That if they work a little hard, They will get there, That they should give him another political term to fulfill all his promises. Dashed hopes, Politically killed dreams.
Voiceless Little Girls
I was shut down and asked to avoid the spotlight.
They say little girls shouldn’t be immersed in a man’s world,
Little girls shouldn’t be engaged in politics,
Little girls shouldn’t be anyone’s pawns,
Little girls should therefore not have a voice of their own,

I woke up with a sparkle today!
I woke up with a sparkle today,
The air around me,
Fresh, crisp and invigorating,
I watched a little birdie tap on my window…
Dear little girl, the earth is yours!
She encouraged me as she pat my back and told me it would be okay,
That it was okay to not get it right the first time,
That failure was part of this life,
That I just needed to pick myself up.
