SANE MAN


Hey over there

Look at me waving at you

I see you mumbling to yourself in dirty tattered clothes

Are you speaking to your soul maybe?

Sometimes quarreling the whispering trees

I wonder why? Or you heard them gossip harshly about you behind your back?

But maybe they don’t sway in the right manner they are supposed to

Like a naughty campus girl in a short loose skirt with a hot intention on a freezing Friday noon down the hallway

Those bugs .. .how do you live with them? Don’t they bite you?

They look fat, you must be healthy and full of nutrients

Maybe you just an extreme insect lover while I am the phobic here




And what is that you eat?

How are your intestines comfortable with that?

Do they have eyes like mine? Do they see?

Don’t tell me they don’t have a voice

Mine have the usual trippy feminine sensitivity

Sometimes the growls would tell you I ate lions

Yet I only was at TACO BELL, KFC and DOMINOS

Nothing else apart from tasting Suzie’s SUBWAY  foot long, salad  and the latte from 
STARBUCKS in the morning at the office too

Yesterday before the thundering heavy downpour

 Saw you cuddle for warmth beside your precious dirty sack on the verandah

Is that all your wealth?… You  look comfortable

You own nothing and yet don’t want everything    

So selective, picking this and throwing that,
times not,
Everywhere and  anywhere can be your home

I guess that’s why I see you everywhere in town

A wanderer , you still don’t know what you search for in life

Just like I, maybe  am not sane too




Now look at me, listen to me  buddy

Teach me the secrets of  happiness

For you look less troubled

Not mindful of anything else but you

Your head, your world

If you could get angry, what would it be at?

Sanity right?

Would this madness  tell you to throw a stick at a dog?

No I don’t think so maybe the sane do

Please familiarize me with the code of your tongue

 How to listen and whisper to the winds

And how to step on thorn and broken glass bare feet and still not hurt

I might be mad thinking you the one mad

What happened to the brain in your skull?

Could we exchange our heads for a minute?

I just want to feel  how it is for a mortal to be sane


Or if its true that only our degrees vary

  OPINION In a world of free things nothing is free have you ever thought to yourself? And now since everything has a price tag how worthy is your opinion in the modern world then? Man is an animal, a social creature de facto, but what is it that makes him see his own independent value noble from the rest of his race? Could we assume that stratification is some normal order of the universe we live in? It’s not only among man that exists ranks but in the whole of the animal kingdom from bees, mites to even lions with each set of class or rank performing a specific role or task in most cases. In business terms we may term it as specialization. As far as history can take us through books we get to learn of the partisan nature of man and his organization ethnographically.   At no point have we ever seen man rely on his self solely. He hunted in groups and lived in caves as family. It is this group politics (affair) that has led to development of society and advancement of soci...

  A WALK INTO TIME, A JOURNEY THROUGH TIME.   It’s 2021 and I am going through a thought in time but I don’t know how long it has been or how old it is the moment I’m reviewing this. Were it wine it would have grown richer in taste, darker in tone and would now be able to raise the taste buds by sheer anticipation at the mention of the name. If it were Italian gorgonzola or swiss cheese the bucks would’ve gone up steadily. Sometime back a couple of months or years ago if I am not wrong didn’t know then that I know now. A thought flashed through my mind and I thought it could be brilliant idea that could make a TED talk (I rarely listen or watch them because of reasons best known to me). It was about time. The thought slipped into the blues but till today about now it still lingers in my subconscious mind as it has come to prove. I hold curious views about the subject matter for very complex reason that I cannot be able to substantiate physically. I don’t know how I may v...

POLITICS & SHIFTING ECONOMIES We’re in deep shit.. Who’s in control? Are we in uncharted waters? What’s next Alkebulan? Tragedy of Africa by Fitemba would sum up this in about six minutes. Seven decades after the white man left our soil it seems we are clueless about our priorities as people’s of the great continent. The psychological conditioning inflicted on our peoples might take another tens of decades to fully melt into thin airs but will it really melt into thin airs while it’s still large in print? It certainly is time for change and the pulse is getting stronger by every sunset. It’s not the time for civil wars, neither tribal or racial divisions nor religious stigmatization. It’s time for a cause, a  noble one for self and nation. The world is in a turmoil thanks to: “climate change”, Kim, Zelensky, Biden, Macron, Hezbollah, Hamas, Kiir, Netanyahu,  M-23, NATO, IMF, WEF, ISIS, AL SHABAAB etc. It’s a super mega meltdown of strife every where from Africa to Asia, E...
