PIKELELA GUTYUNGWA MEMOIRS

In case you are wondering! My mother and father were born and met on these streets. I lived under their shadows after I was introduced 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 libs. I dare you to speak to the contrary and bleat otherwise! 🕺🕺🤣  IT IS WHAT IT IS! If things can go wrong, they will:   Murphy's Law says. Helplessness in humans and in 50% of all times, is nothing but a disguised excuse for giving up without trying harder! I was conceived and born in a mess and delivered into an already messed up World. Who and what am I, to try and change the course of the Universe? Millions o...

  It Is My Time! In case you sit out there and question my authority and qualifications to say all these things I am saying! Here’s the deal. Chill out man... relax, give me space, and allow me to interact with your time. Did you know that somehow, words alone are never enough to fully define time? Hello. Time is more than the earth evolving around the sun and the moon, guided by the cardinal arms within the twelve-hour day and night. Nobody in the history of human life, has ever seen time as an entity or qualitative axiom. If you asked me... What is time? What time is time? When is it time, and where does time come from! Welcome to my world! It is time because it is my time! Now is time because I am here. It is always time because I am around! It is my time for time to be... I am time because time overlaps with me, my time, and my life! We spend the lifetime as humans, trying to define time based on the incongruent illusions. Time and space, are two d...

Faces Of Love! Our life as humans is as complicated as our nervous system. It’ll take eternity for Medical Science to finally reach the zenith point surrounding all the complexities which define the human brain. Love is one of the most misunderstood subjects of all times throughout human existence. Even though millions of books have been written on this great virtue, nobody has been able to summit to its highest point. Wow! Even couples who passionately hate each other are misconstrued to be madly in love as long as they live under the same roof. Like the legendary G-Spot, the zenith point of love does not exist. Even men who have spent their lifetime married to the same woman are still mystified by this illusive G-Spot in their women’s anatomy. When can love be defined as true? Please notice, I can’t find any logic to prefix any human love as true since whatever is deemed true is subject to interpretation. What is Love? Love is blind, we’re told. If this was t...

  What Was... Isn’t What It Is! What was... isn’t what happened. Once we shared the same sunshine and dreamt together in our rugged youth. I looked at her through my innocent eyes of youth and before I knew it.... She was all wrapped around my heart We had a lot in common and never ran out of topics to debate each other. She respected me and I adored and crowned her the Star of my Day! Stinti was my childhood sweetheart, my dreams into my foreseeable future. I always looked forward to be with her and she felt the same way. What was... isn’t what it is today and what happened... isn’t what should have been. I loved her with all my heart and soul. What could have been... is what we both wanted. But alas, as fate would have it... Ours was just another dizzy dream washed out at sea inside the ocean of drifting waters! Her beautiful, teasing and yet embracing smile inspired me to write my First ever Poem and the Greatest to date. My Ode To Beautiful....was the ...

  Living In The World Of Fakes! It is what it is! Perhaps God can forgive our generation for blaming all the unhealthy predicaments of living in this fake world….to every generation before. What you see is not always what you can get! This never ending mirage constantly blares our vision and judgement. Our daily struggle to make the best choice for everything we use, often gets smacked down after discovering we’ve been duped. Living in the world of fakes has complicated our lives to unfathomable levels where everything we need gets buried under a pile of fakes! Look here, it says it’s a genuine product and even has the popular logo in it. The label cannot lie! Everything in everything and everywhere is driven by profit, even preachers do not come cheap. Sobriety in our minds is not just the absence of intoxicating alcohol in our blood system but virtually, the very absence of insanity and personal ego. Living in the world of fakes demands we individually know the ...
