The fall of our own dignity

The fall of our dignity. Wishing the worst to fall is an illusion, Fantasy is a demon that robs us of reality Sentiments of golden desires, Smokes of merciless trends, We are truly close yet far from the light. We absorb the heat of trending sacarsm Hoping to chow and chew our nightmares with silly pretences, We cultivate cultures of undesirable textures, Yet we forget to build a home for our lonely souls, We were close but we ain't nearer either to the revelation. Spitting our images with thick lips of slander, We have internalized the Bible of self-defeat, We have cast chains of shattered dreams on our lovely chairs, We have simplified the jokes of warfare with smooth connotation, We have purified our impurities with filthy waters. We struggle to manifest the glossy skins of our pride, Because mighty waters of imitation have captured our heartbeat, Slowly we beat the bush without a push to knowing the truth, We have dressed

Retain your shine

Retain your shine. 08/02/2020. Saturday. Don’t be alarmed by the sores of thy soul, Revise the pages of thy soul, Taste the temperature of your breath, Test the vigour of your thirst for the prize, See if they match and strike the cloud. Be not complacent of the magnitude of your passions, Nurse the sky until it awards you the pie, Enlighten the horizon until rain descends on thy yard, Awaken the lost puppies of dazzle, Remarry your desert of bliss. Cement the grip and make it rain. It must reign. Furnish your pastures, Rubbish your sinful pastors, Caress your shoulders with a pure crown, Polish your songs with tunes of angelic tongues. Find your devices of terror, Bury the precise norms of trauma, Burn the dances of polluted sex, Ban your ties with suits of sin and lovers of deceit, Nominate your stars, dominate your scars. Slice the nice prize, Pack and track your integrity along, Strive to be full of soothing

A tale of hope

A tale of hope You are here. You will be there. Here is not final. Here is necessary to polish your visage for the ahead. Here is not your destiny. Here is a temporal gateway to the green pastures of your worth and wealth. Don't be blinded by the artificial muds of hopelessness. Cease from entertaining the demons of quitting. Divorce thy marriage with the predator of your soul. Let go of the perpetual adoption of self pity rhythms. Ignore the dark visions faithless ponder. Cling thy self to the armour of coming elegance. Ressurect your impeccable vigour and dance to the promise of a wondrous tomorrow. You are the master of the ship. Stir it to the mountains of faith. Throw the net, wait for the obvious and dine with the glamour within. Surrender your blades of suicide. Life still awaits to kiss your potential. The universe anticipates the songs of victory you ought to proclaim. March on, breathe heavily, give it your all and you will be established on the holy ground of

Free Milly Documentary Review. Self-discovery is freedom By Blessing Mhlanga. 02/02/2020. Sunday. 23:56pm He is made in his image. He is half human and half God. No, Milly is not being silly. He is the reason for this review and without him there would be no reason. He is the inevitable, he ’s finally free and he is the voice and face of the Free Milly  documentary. Here, Milly elaborates the good and the bad of his self-discovery journey, which eventually becomes the foundation of his freedom.      There ’s a common saying that asserts that the greatest tragedy in life is not to die, but to leave without a purpose. I couldn’t help but listen to the Free Milly Documentary over and over again. It features South African rapper, Milly who after finding himself trapped in an ingenuous and false version of himself, due to society’s expectation, is forced to succumb to challenges and anxieties of identity loss.   I love the flavors of honesty and deep soul conf
