 Omar

Wakes to heavy rains,

The roads splatter,

His car without the usual banter,

His drive full of clutter,

Grrrrrr-

The engine expires,

“Mafuta yameisha”

Aren’t we- 

Mikuki ya taifa

Then why do we suffer?


Maria

Wakes to a drunk husband,

To the cries of a hungry child,

No pap in the pot,

No money for ispinashi,

Grrrrrr-

Her own stomach growls,

“Angazi ukuthi ngenze njani”

Aren’t we-

Imikhonto yesizwe

Then why do we suffer?


Lisa

Wakes to a dirty house,

Boss had a bash last night

House needs cleaning before it gets bright,

The morning begins with broom and clatter,

Paaaa!

Boss slaps her, infuriated,

Angry that her clatter disturbs the sleep,

“Mumbabarire kubyo, shobuja”

Aren’t we-

Amacumu y'igihugu

Then why do we suffer?

HUMAN SOUL TUTORIAL

  HUMAN SOUL TUTORIAL Haaaaa!, a loud scream echoed through the dark void. A voice muttered, “Why is it so dark?” it then asked itself, “Where am I?”, “What am I?”. “Sorry, I forgot to turn on the lights”, an echoey voice uttered from the endless dark void. Then in an instant there was a large light, the whole void turned to what seemed as an endless white sheet. The first voice then started to feel weird, it started to hear various sounds, sounds that felt so familiar but also strange at the same time. The first voice heard buddhist monks reciting the sutras, it heard the sounds of church bells on a wedding day, it heard the voices of soldiers risking their lives for their nations. There were many sounds it hear could, millions and millions of sounds The first voice felt this process of hearing the sounds agonising and let out another loud scream in the now white void. The second voice then said in the response to the scream, “Whoa there! Why all the fuss?”. The first voice asked...

  SOME QUESTIONS ON GOD/GODS Salutations dear readers, Today in the being human blog will be discussing about God and deities. Whether you believe in them or not, Deities are very important part of the human condition. So I am going to talk about God/ Gods.

REFLECTING ON MY MORTALITY

REFLECTING ON MY MORTALITY Black, eerie, quiet, scary, nothing, etc, these are words that pop up in my head everytime I think of death. As humans we live with the knowledge that we will die, cease to exist, kick the bucket and whatever you like to call it but we live as if we won’t die. We continue to live our lives like this won’t happen until something reminds us that we will die. I, like most humans, also live this way, without a single thought of death but recently something reminded me of our grim end. A month ago, a friend of mine took his own life, something I can’t comprehend to this day. I was shocked, to be honest, who wouldn’t be shocked by that sort of news. I remember telling  myself that we used to be in the same group a couple of months ago and now he’s gone. It didn’t feel right that someone so young would choose to go to the unknown, to the eerie blackness. I went to his funeral service and burial, the mood was sad that day, I had never experienced that sort of...

DO WE HAVE TO FIGHT ?: THE STORY OF CONFLICT

DO WE HAVE TO FIGHT?: THE STORY OF CONFLICT “Brian”, I yelled as stared at my young brother’s dead body. The murderer ran away from the scene of the crime. I was in tears until I woke up. It was all a nightmare. Dearest reader, above was a simple narration of the dream I had yesterday. It ended in young brother’s murder. It was unpleasant and scary just to summarize. I couldn’t go back to sleep. The reason for young brother’s death in the dream was a land conflict between my dad and a neighbor. My young brother is ok in real life if you are worried about him. After the nasty nightmare I started to think why would someone do that because of a land conflict. Most would have mistaken the dream for not being real but dreams project real life situations. For me the death of a loved one due to conflict might have occurred in dream but for someone else somewhere, it might have really happened. So today on the platter is conflict. Conflict is a big part in human life  it is ever...
