PIKELELA GUTYUNGWA MEMOIRS

  JESUS MADE ME CARRY MY BED! I was born and raised a cripple. I couldn't even begin to crawl like all children as a baby since I was paralyzed from my mother's womb, waist down! Just how do I begin to tell my sad story to you? I don't know. Mine was a life of wishful thinking as I lay down for thirty-eight years watching all the able-bodied people whoosh past my face, going about their business! All I could do, was just lay down there and wished I was a bird. Sometimes, my mind comforted me by reminding me: at least, I wasn’t blind. But the pain of wearing the same pair of shoes for years, balked me down to the level of depression! I was very sad and hurting inside every single day! Now, there were many of us, people with all kinds of disabilities: all hoping to jump ahead of the rest into the Pool when the Angel of the Lord stirred the waters once in a while. There were, impotent folk, of blind, halt, withered, etcetera: all hoping for the miracle of winning the r...

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.

    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...
