The sovereignty of the lost

By Blessing Mhlanga. 6/7 November 2019.

Who can lift the banners of gone pastures? If we had the privilege, not even the glimpse of crime would exist in our yard. In spite their history, they would have disarmed one’s ability to engage in atrocity of our modern time, in which, even a chicken is eating lion.

A moment of ponder about the greens of yesterday may save the dark piles of now and prohibit the worst from possibly happening in future. Think of the careless bloodshed of one by another, think of the slaughter of our angels, those carrying the light of our tomorrow, think about the past warriors, think of historical icons who sweat blood for the wings of freedom to reign in our sky, think of the heroines who walked barefooted just to give birth to the legends of our existence, see the now and mend the patch.

Here we are now, sipping bruises, dancing with demons of lame lifestyle, glorifying the forsaken leaves of human slavery. For how long are we going to be subjects of loafing, piglets of miserable laughter and heirs of isolated chains?

Believe you me, not even the angels of our time can unchain us from our self-imposed destitute shackles. We are the saviors of our own mess and we have the kisses necessary to cure our curses in our generations.

The tanks of wealth have been hidden by us and within us. The palaces of mine-worth treasures have not been stolen by savages of our imaginary sentiments. The suits of our glamour are too glorious for any human to imitate or trade for whatever worthless penny. You know why, we are still possessing them. Gone tales cannot liberate present calamities nor can they determine a divine sunrise.

The Present is the priceless present we can use to enlighten the dark marrows of our souls, to awaken the angelic stars of our potential, to polish the wrinkles of our bruises, to prune the weeds of our arid garden and establish a planet of green pastures that no force on earth or above can resist.

A mafia tells his tales

A mafia tells his tales I’m unknown in the universe of the blues. I hustle with my claws and toil with my feet. I have married a new sun, the desert is my ex and weeping is the grave - I am the Mafia of this game, the game of striving to be the best striker on the field of life. Don’t remind me of the gone tales, I have buried them and I press toward the unknown hidden in the elegant paradise - a world of my own smile. I live not to impress but to express my inner gold which was once sold by the enemy. The kisses of my wisdom reflect the pieces of piles and tiles of my make-up, I have managed to separate the under from the asunder - this is my bible of livelihood . I have conquered the plagues  of lazy plugs, who loved to pray that I become a prey but their gales have become my girls for my fortune sales. I own many suites but not suitable enough to suit every occasion; my calling is sizzling and it won’t stop dazzling. My part is to dress the start, make sure I do

How Robert Mugabe wants to be remembered I was a liberator. Maybe a tyrant too. By Blessing Mhlanga.      10 -09 - 2019. Well, where should I start? If in the beginning God created heaven and earth, then in the beginning is where I’ll start. In the beginning I, Robert Mugabe became pregnant of a vision: to liberate my fellow black Zimbabweans from the perpetual catastrophes of slavery, inequality, poverty, racial segregation and the heavy heap of unjust leadership in the hands of Ian Smith and company. It is for this vision that I created countless movements and campaigns against the atrocious regime that had enslaved my people during the 1960s and 70s. It is for this vision that I endured a decade of imprisonment for trying to overthrow this vicious government. Maybe, it is for this vision that I stayed in power for almost four decades. For clarity purposes, I didn’t hate white people but I only despised their use of power against my people, through

Opinion piece: Ancestral worship is a fallacy

Ancestral Worship is a shameful fallacy By Blessing Mhlanga We cannot speak to the dead and there’s no such thing as the living-dead. Rituals involving animal slaughter, sprinkling of blood, drinking of concoction, talking to a dead person on their grave and consulting a sangoma for intervention is a spiritual deception that has enslaved the african people. For me personally, I am extremely ashamed and disgusted by my fellow black people who believe that a dead person has an influence on their failures or prosperity in their lives. Some cultures even believe that the dead are a mediator between God and the living; it’s a shame because they have forgotten that God is the creator of all men and he doesn’t need a human being whom he created to be a mediator to those who are living. According to Truth Magazine article, ‘if you displease the ancestors, it may be that they will kill someone else.’ This doesn’t make sense, why would my ancestors, who were somehow
