One Way Road 


I’ve Been Down This Road Before!

Life is nothing but just winding circles of endless labyrinths. We spend our miserable lives trying to look busy as if we’d soon take off and be seen no more.

If I was not human enough, I’d have long given up from pretending to know just what lies around the corner.

No matter how many times you cut the same corner.. things never look the same way every time you pass!.

My brain goes off and shoots out loudly and ask... Have I not been this way before except for a few changes, things look all too familiar?

Why I never lose my sanity is just another miracle from Above!

Hello Beautiful! Did we not meet some time before today?

She wildly shakes her head, smiles gleefully and giggles out loud as if to say.. Excuse me Sir,  I have never met you in a hundred years!

I keep on walking and try hard to shake off all these images of her haunting my brain and assault my conscious. This can’t be real!

I’ve been down this road before! Why sometimes I be walking down the road when my mind suddenly googles and identifies with immediate scenes around as if I was here before.

I’ve been down this road before. Yes, here it is, I must have been dreaming! For real now, I saw everything laid out completely in a simple dream.

The only difficult part of this experience is the fact that I was also part of the dream.

Wow! Why does God sometimes play games with our minds?

I’ve been down this road before. Since I was part of the dream inside my own dream.. I had no powers to dictate how the day presented itself.

Alone in my bed, all I could do was to replay and watch the same tape play all over again. I keep wondering and stared in darkness looking for answers from who knows where!

I’ve been down this road before! And so as usual I decide to move forward with my life and forget the about the damn dream.. Take it as one of them mystic things in our mystical universe.

No matter how much you try to ignore the Reality of God being around us every second of every minute... You just can’t deny your own spiritual makeup.

But there is a spirit in man: and the inspiration of the Almighty giveth them understanding.

You’ve been down this road before. Ever wondered why is it possible for your to get irritated whenever someone tells you about God?

Here’s the real conundrum about your conflicted self.. Your heart and soul have been designed and tuned up to be able to recognize the Voice of God!

How’s that even possible since I’ve never been to church even and hate every topic about God?

You’ve been down this road before. But there is a spirit in man and the inspiration of the Almighty will give you understanding.

One day you will see and understand yourself just as clear as you see your blue skied day. God reveals Himself to us by way of self-discovery.

I’ve been down this road before. There’s no way for anybody to believe God exists before you stand in front of the mirror and discover yourself.

God is all the life you feel. He’s your heartbeat, love, smiles and all the laughter you share with those closest to you.

This is the road of life which keeps on beckoning us and ends at the foot of our graves.

This then says to me, no matter where and whatever time of the day it is... Life goes on and on around this never-ending labyrinth of my miserable life.

I’ve been down this road before! Life is Life to me and all around. Just listen to these birds sing and forget all the sickening unhealthy urban noise.

Yea and yes, been down on this road before! Only time will tell just how many rounds more remain before my time is up!

Damn! How I wish I could just shake off my brain just like I can shake my feet and body... Been down this road before and I’ll be back soon!

MY BABY.... SHE'S ALL I GOT!

Feelings, in whatever mood matter sometimes.. . If I must open the window of my heart and let you see the real backdrop behind this narrative... this is it. After being let down by my first daughter and after we've agreed for her to meet her little sister for the very first time... I was very distraught. She withdrew at the last minute. I went to bed with a very heavy heart. I believe the Spirit whispered inside my sad heart these sweet words in the dead of the night. I tossed and turned as I began to listen to my heart, comforting and propping and lifting me higher than I thought I could ever climb. Everything else is history after this amazing encounter of wrestling with these incredible words and lines in my heart. Waking up the following morning was nothing but a formality as I began to smooth all the way to my last verse. Yes, yes... She's My Baby and She's All I Got ! Reflections, realignment, retracing and recollections of the life spectacled usually incognito to the

IN PURSUIT OF A DREAM!

In Pursuit Of A Dream!   Life is great and life is hard! Life is cruel and life is not fair! These are some of the most common overtones heard daily from Space. If the Almighty were to afford you a rare chance to sit on top of the Globe for one day: you like God, will hear these conjectures coming from the corridors of life below.   We live in the noisiest and the most congested Planet as humans. If God had offered a choice to parents in which Planet, they’d wish to have their babies born. Our population would not have risen to Eight Billion Souls as it were.   There are thousands of adverbs used to describe the very life we’re all part of. Life is subject to individual’s interpretation the same had gone through this twisting and endless labyrinth of Human Race and Pilgrimage to nowhere .   Once upon a time. In the busiest day for parents and their kids, who had excelled after their twelve yearlong school of education and gained their deserved university entrance pass.  Thi

SO, YOU THINK YOU HAVE A COVENANT WITH GOD?

COMMENTS ... Sometimes, to think that I'm in charge of what I write, where and when I like: is just a wish.  Yesterday I wrote a complete Soweto June 16th Uprisings Tribute.. two hours later, I've had to delete the whole thing. Why? Because l had no witness of the Spirit in my heart.  Well, that's just me! God gave me all these Thoughts and Words to play with the rest of my life. I have gazillion words to play around with.  This narrative came over me early this morning. I felt like God was reminding me of the Covenant between Him and Jesus.  Kenneth Copeland and all the false teachers dance around their mega churches and brag about the Covenant they never had.  I'm always left speechless whenever I see thousands run behind false teachers and false prophets as if they cannot read the Bible for themselves.  I follow Jesus in His Word and nobody else. I am the addict of the Doctrine of Christ!  Nothing fascinates and moves my heart and soul like the anointed Word of God!
