PIKELELA GUTYUNGWA MEMOIRS

  HELLO, I AM SIMON THE LEPER! My sad story is not one of poverty or homelessness. I was raised by very wealthy parents and never had a moment in my life as a kid where I went to my bed hungry like some kids in my neighbourhood. Life is very strange when you’re used to living like a king and as if there was no care in the world. My rich world became my fantasy as I became immune to all the reality of all the hungry people who used to flock our gates to beg for food. My parents were very generous and never ever turned any hungry person away. Then once upon a time, my parents passed away, I already had a wife and kids by this time. And so, I inherited everything my parents once owned. Even during this time of my greatest transition in life; I simply thought things would just turn out as it were in my childhood. Little did I know that my rich ego was about to take the biggest knock I ever had; and worse off now, without my dear parents who were the backbone of my life. Oh God,...

COMMENTS ..  I cannot begin be to tell you just how difficult it is to write a Story Song. It takes far longer to pen a story song than writing a Poem, Lamentation or just an Essay.  Writing a story song demands I turn into that character 100% in thoughts, lifestyle and capture the scenario complete with doors and windows for my audience to follow step step.  The Zacchaeus Story Song took me more than four days to finally sit down and pen it. I tossed and turned in my bed the other day, thinking like Zacchaeus but alas, my mind needed some resting.  May I invite you to browse and revisit some of my Story Songs I wrote in recent past. I promise, you'll be glad you did. Try the following highlighted topics below.  The Good Samaritan   Jesus Made Carry My Bed Hello, I'm Simon The Leper I Loved The Man Life Full Cycle  Well, I can’t remember them all, these will be good enough for your short cut.

  THE NIGHT NICODEMUS GOT BORN AGAIN  In this thrill-a-minute episode where we find Jesus lecturing one by the name of Nicodemus, a Pharisee by qualification; in the dead of the night. This meeting was made possible at the behest of Nicodemus since he didn't want to be seen having a heart to heart discussion with Jesus, out in the public. Nicodemus was afraid of all the criticism he'd face coming from his own ranks of the Pharisees and Scribes academics.  I refer to these schools of thought as pure academia because that's exactly what they were about…DOCTRINE! The religious sect in the times of Christ was based on pure academia and rife speculation due to the changing times when compared with ancient days of Moses; in the wilderness.  At this juncture, I'm not inclined to give you specifics and differences which existed between these two major opposing academia; who both owed their existence to the Law of Moses and the Prophets. There is another third arm of the reli...

    Hello. This is Pikelela Speaking...   I am making almost half of my Library and Collection of my Poems, Lamentations, Story Songs, Essays, Love Lyrics, War-cry, etc. For your easy reach and personal interest if you want to find any topic which rhymes with your heart... it's all here under your finger tips. I plan to compile another Booklet which will cover the more than half of my works not included in this List.   Yep, I'm throwing the gauntlet at you! It's hard for me to believe I actually managed to frame and come up with all these fantastic topics just for you to dip in and enjoy all my sweat and prayers. God knows how much tears I shed and dedication which demanded me to keep the highest standard in order to hear the Spirit of God whispers into my heart.   I know, some people will take all this work as nothing, not even give it a glimpse or some benefit of doubt which can force you to pause and think hard. It is necessary sometimes, once in your life; t...
