i like to think of myself as one of the most unbothersome children out there.
i wonder what you would be like if you spent a day in my shoots.
wouldn't that be funny?
if you grew like me?
things fall apart
but that is only the start
of a journey that may last days
or years
full of things,
only you can hear
you travel down a path made of gravel
encrusting you with scars
From the African jungles,
to the ancient African temples;
Why do we praise Shakespeare?
We see as the water ripples,
our people once shook speares.
Remember, Africa created art.
Building the building that builds my destiny starts from the foundation of my purpose.
To discover is to recover to redirect the directions of my destiny.
Rusty nails pin these twisted roots
of the house, which so adorned, is now decrepit.
Flies decorate the windowsill
Constellations of shattered glass
The ember cracks, a small, resilient base reduced to ash.
I was first introduced
By a man named Dr. Seuss.
His rhymes helped me in the best of ways,
Especially if it was one of my worst days.
A real inspiration,
Gave me a good foundation.
We are taught
In this life
To keep breathing
To continue with moving motion
Of our hands correlating with our feet
parading helplessly through
the streets of wherever it is we call home.
