The struggle against the shadows

The struggle against the shadows

It's a struggle l always wish was a dream,
One that l don't desire to escape either,
In a blink of a lazy eye, waters taste bitter,
With its source  hiding in the unknown universe,
Lonely hills and virgin skies, who can contest?

Beneath his waving beard,
Lies a tale, one that his blood is willing to conceal,
Fleshy thighs, dreamy eyes, it's a time ticking bomb,
A thin skin tempts the divine to fall,
But still upholds the toxic falls of our foes.

Wake up from the deadly sigh,
Perhaps you might stand the test of slumber,
One that recruit the haughty to rule,
One that condemns the innocent visage of us,
And feed our lambs withered leaves of the fallen.

Perhaps the drivers of our promise have been caged,
Chained or brutalized by the modern appalls,
If so, woes shall overflow in our children's basket,
And Rob them of their wings to cruise above the sky,
It's a mountain that we have discounted to level.

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 ...

Mugabe writes his obituary

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 introduction.

One thing I have come to understand thus far is that, people are not the same. I am Blessing Mhlanga and yes, l am an ordinary young man from next door but l am uniquely different from any other male figure. As such, allow me to express my true identity that is beyond your assumptions and l shall permit you to do the same as well, thereby promoting a society of solid undiluted personality. We are not the same inside, we are not going to the same destination and we can not be the same at the same time  at the same level. Look at the forest, are all trees the same? No!. Are all fingers the same? No! Therefore, life is a story of choices, the choices l make today are based on the future that l want to enjoy and these choices may seem abnormal if not insane to you yet little do you know that l have discovered a blissful revelation concerning my tomorrow. It is this tomorrow that l am sacrificing for today. People who focus on other people's businesses have not discovered their pote...
