History Book


It’s a social norm that history books are found in libraries and book stores. Contrary to popular belief, this African child was a walking history book. Every scar on her body is an event that changed the course of her hopes and dreams, every scar on her body is dated and is ready to be retrieved and read out to anyone willing to listen.

She knows the history book on her body from the front to the back cover, this is because she reads it every morning when she undresses to take a bath.

“Time heals all wounds” so she heard and has hoped so herself, but no one told her that the wounds will forever be burnt on her mind as long as there is breath in her body.

She has considered taking her own life countless times, but she is afraid of the one more scar that would be printed by the rope on her neck. “This history book is already too thick for one person to read” she would say to herself as she divorced all suicidal thoughts.

Occasionally she would read about the “Best Seller Book” in newspapers and she would think to herself:

“The best seller books have not yet been printed on paper, for they are on the skin of the African Child and they call them scars”

Laying on my back on the soft block paving of the Apartment Building, Looking at the young evening sky with dawn throwing its last kicks... A gas Lighter in one hand and a cigarette in the other. Destruction and Potential, Only kept apart by my fat arms and hairy chest. A lady walks by, Doesn't finish walking by. Stops, And comments how cute it is that i am studying the night skies, " Stars are full of wonder, they are Angels watching us " She said. " Yeah, they are " I replied. Then the lady finished walking by. Laying there, Laying on my back on the soft block paving of the Apartment Building, Looking at the young evening sky with dawn throwing its last kicks and showing signs of giving up and accepting its fate, it's over... Laying there, Looking at the top floor of our five storey building, I was wondering whether a jump would kill or cripple me. The distance didn't seem long enough, So i put all my chips on "cripple" and postpone

Dear Youth ... During my high school years, in my physical sciences class, I learn about " Fiber Optics ", oh what a beautiful thing they are. Below is the technical definition of this type of technology: " A  fiber optic  cable consists of a bundle of glass threads, each of which is capable of transmitting messages modulated onto light waves.  Fiber optics  has several advantages over traditional metal communications lines:  Fiber optic  cables have a much greater bandwidth than metal cables."  [ www.webopedia.com/TERM/F/ fiber _ optics .html] Key Notes: 1. " transmitting messages " This is the aim of this Blog, to transmit messages, to transfer knowledge back and forth, and to support one another. There will be a variety of topics, Academics, R eligion, Politics, Philosophies, Relati onship problems, Family Problems (Not personal, but how to deal with general family problems), sport, you name it, if you can think of it, it will be here. 2

You're a Magician

The Magic is in your Heart,  You choose how you want it to manifest in your Life. In despair and fear, Some of us let it die and rot inside, then we start hating existence itself. Dearing the Devil to try his best. Fuck, i don't know how to write this, too many thoughts in my head. Let me take a swing, if i miss, i miss... A long time ago,  i read a theory somewhere that states: When the Bible says: Gen: 2:7 "...And the Lord God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living being..." What happened on that day, is that God shared some of his 'powers with us'. At the time i never paid much attention to it. Laughed it off. Until recently when i read 'The Lost Symbol' by Mr Dan Brown. In the book biblical scriptures were quoted: Psalms 82:6 "...I said, You are gods..." John 10:34 "...Jesus answered them, “Is it not written in your law, ‘I said, “You are gods”...&qu
