OLD SCHOOL IS NEW SCHOOL!

 REFLECTIONS... 

Sometimes I just look for the funkiest beat so I can freely write as if I'm running down the mountain. Many people out there never experienced living in a rural area. 

Writing this happy piece reminded me how we used to run so fast down the mountain as boys, touching the boulders below our feet like Shaolin Masters.

After a few straight and serious writing the Spirit always gives me leave, to get out there and enjoy myself with whatever genres present themselves to my taste at that time. 

I hope many of you out there, especially men, will relate to this funky jazzy tune performed by our Guitar Maestro.. Nils and interspersed with my laidback and teasing lyrics! 

This was my quickest composition by far. I went sailing the minute I grabbed the title! 

Old School Is New School.. And that's a fact! 

God bless you all..

Old School Is New School!

When I was just a little boy I heard them old folks say, you can’t catch old birds with chaff!

How the hell can I spot old birds? Err, birds age from a distance? Birds look the same from whatever distance to me!

Old school is new school. I sometimes struggle with old adages and I never know why’s that! Is it perhaps the question of age and time lapsed?

Once bitten and twice shy.. if most men heeded this Ancient warning there’d be far less love casualties alongside the freeway of love.

If love had eyes configured and rooted in our favourite algorithms, just like Google follows and bombards us with annoying personalized ads.

I reckon more often than not, most men would wildly reject any suggestions forcing them to lose their faces later.

Believing what we’re seeing is not what we always get.

It’d be easier for most men, to have politely declined this tempting offer given in a silver platter.

I believe there are more male victims than female ones.

Given the common sense and knowledge which says, women lead by five to three.

China is the only exception to this rule. There are more men than women in China

Old school is new school. If you score a girl in China, you’d better hold onto her for dear life. She’s one in a million!

If you drop her there are a thousand bachelors waiting to grab her!

Like they say.. Once upon a time in China. Poor man, just imagine yourself joining the queue of 500 million bachelors in front of you.. All hoping heavens will rain down women!

Old school is new school! Sometimes my wife laughs at me and don’t believe why is it hard for me to rebuke boys.

We’d pass them boys burning grass in broad daylight on the fields where our footpath go thru. I just look at them and smile cause I see myself in them when I was a boy.

Old school is new school. Only God knows just how many times I had given my son a free pass... while his mother was livid and raging with fury!

Old school is new school! Women will never ever understand the deepest bonds us men share with our boys..

It is seeing and believing in our old school inside the new school.

Old school is new school.. Boys will be boys and Men will be the same boys they’ve always been.

Forget the grey hairs.. this is nothing but camouflaging at its best. Don’t forget that a smile hides a thousand sneers!

Old school is new school! Growing old and bold is nothing but just another season presenting itself through serious wise look!

Walked passed a group of young men.. Greeted them.. they replied.. How are you, old man! 

Hey, my mirror didn’t say that to me when I went thru my morning drill?

Old school is new school! Damn boys think I’m old as their grandfathers!

Old school is new school... My heart fact-checked me on the spot.

Hello Barney, have you forgotten how you and your boys used to laugh at old men having shower?  

Old school is new school! What goes around comes around!

Silly old life like a 100 year old elephant, the damn creature will never forget you once hit him with a stone!

Old school is new school. If your memory was as good.. you’d run for higher ground seconds you see him!

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!
