Freedom

May 28, 2008

Give us us free!
Whence came the word struggle?
Whence came the word pain?
Whence came the word abuse?
Whence came the word exploitation?
…Freedom…freedom!
What is it, where is it…. how do we find it…how do i find it?
What is it worth…a mans life…two…maybe three..perhaps a million?
Is it an illusion, a carrot dangling on a stick for abused and abusers [...]

The Silent Majority in the Shadows

December 7, 2007

Hear us…listen…listen before its too late!
Listen to me…listen to the story of a mother with no milk left to sustain her baby!
Listen to me…listen to the story of a babe with no strength left to suckle from a barren breast!

A steady deterioration of honesty.
What do I see through my [...]

June 30, 2007

Mother! I am your child. Mother Africa! I am your creation, and yes I am that baby that grieves and cries with you time and time again.
Mother! Mother Africa. Who can claim to have seen more sorrow, disappointment and pain than that which you have endured?
Who, yes I dare ask again, who can claim to [...]

But Africa, is it not our so called leaders who abuse us, use us and exploit us?
Is it not us who raise arms against each other, kill our fellow [...]
