These Streets! One cannot forget these intimidating up and down stares furiously targeting the good citizens of this town. Who are these people, these faceless bullies and where did they come from? We used to fill and occupy these streets from corner to corner and screamed all day long as kids. Hey. We feared nothing at all because these streets belonged to us. We will not allow our streets to be deserted in broad daylight as if we’re back to pandemic days! My mother and father were born and met on these streets. I lived under their shadows after they introduced me to these same streets. I grew up on these streets, I know and speak the language of these streets and unreservedly own these streets. These streets gifted me my place in the sun and all the wokeness that comes with my birthright. I wrote these verbs, prose, and verbiage for you because I can. To remind all and sundry that Pikelela left his footprints on these timeless streets. Yep, these streets are mine, and I own the ...
SO YOU THINK WE LEAVE IN A FREE WORLD: THINK AGAIN? I’ve been thinking this lately, when I looked around our material universe how most of the things used would be tossed to trash: no matter how useful they were? So, like a Billionaire examines his newest acquisition: The Earth, yep that’s right. Before Elon Musk and Jeff Bezos, it had been literary possessed by Sixteen People. So, by the look of things, would Twenty People be too suggestive to you? Methinks not! Believe it or not, we live in the sold-out World: You just don’t see! Would you run to the Hills stopping your ears in complete disbelief: if I told you the very first attempted sale of the Earth took place in the Bible? And the Devil taking Him up on high mountain, showed Him all the Kingdoms of the World in a moment of time. And the Devil said unto Him all this power will I give unto thee, and the glory of them: for that is delivered unto me; and to whosoever I will give i...
Fading With The Stars! The difference is very plain to see, no matter how much you try to ignore the skies above your head. You can try your best to walk as straight as possible without lifting your head up but guess what? The horizon will flip you back to the skies: the space in between is where our thoughts fly easily without any impediments. Would you believe it if I told you that you really do not need wings to fly? God gave all the wings to the birds of heaven and to His holy angels. Angels and birds need no imaginations to know how flying is like. We are the real birds of heaven when it comes to flying and soaring. When I was a boy, it was hard for me to walk around with my head bowed without bumping against somebody walking in the opposite direction. My world and my town did not look anything like what I see today: everything has changed. I feel like my original artist who first painted my world had died; what is going on? Fading with the stars may seem like ...
