The F word


Five letters is all it takes to make that word,
Five letters tattooed on my heart.
To own the word, is to own the world.


One  word that makes my small world big,
One word that makes  my dark sky blue,
One  word that makes my end a whole new start.

To believe in the unseen,
To hope in the  hopeless,
To  see through blind eyes.
To walk crippled in the dark.

Ever wondered how the world would be like if people  had no mind to think, when everyone in the world had no opinion and we were all clueless idiots…it would be totally amusing (insanely amusing)but then again who would even think of the humour  in that situation  let alone be concerned with it.I woke up thinking about this stupid situation,and how chaotic life would be. The history of the world would be completely different and the human race would be a perfect example of an animal kingdom,only difference would be that we would all  be stupid animals!!
Before my thoughts could wander deeper in this CRAZY idea,I  had to write this poem down simply because it made me appreciate the beauty of a brain and because I have never felt this grateful for my ability to think(even when my thinking comes up with silly ideas).
Thoughts make up who we are,and that is the beauty of thinking .Our thoughts shape our lives when they become a way in which we believe in something,they  give us a belief,they give us a FAITH.
People only achieve things when they have faith in their capabilities, they get to own the world just by believing that they can do something  which  seems an impossibility to the rest of the world.
Countless times (an example of a simple idiotic situation) I have always wished to have a superpower,and too many times I have been asked what power if given the chance I would like to possess,I would always say “invisibility” .But now If someone were to ask me,my answer would definitely be the power of FAITH!
We all have different belief systems,but one that always surpasses my own belief in my own power,is the belief in God.Don’t get me wrong,faith in oneself can also move mountains,but…. Faith in God can move a whole world of mountains!!! To believe is to have power,life will always give us impossibilities,but Faith will always give us a way to make them possible,no matter what!

A million tears in a thousand hills

It's hard to forget something that turns your life upside down ,it's harder still  not to wonder how life would have been like growing up in the land of a thousand hills..Sometimes am grateful that i was too young to know the evil that was happening during the Rwandan Genocide..then at other times i keep picturing the lives torn apart and destroyed by the wave of tribal hate. Its during such  times that i realize that the impact of such an atrocity is far greater than remembering every single act committed. My memories for the 1994 Rwandan Genocide are like a blank page slowly being filled by the stories  am told..endless accounts of nights of terror and days of struggle.Some lived to tell their stories while others had nothing but a corpse to re-tell their 100 days of horror.The one thing that  has always disturbed my conscious was the question why?Why shed the blood?Why let innocent lives get tortured ?Why kill another just like you? It's like a story of t...

19 years later..

The past three weeks of my life have been a dream come true...not because i have stumbled into a load of cash or become a celebrity overnight. I have done nothing that seems out of the ordinary, but this event has and will forever  change my life.I have  no idea how to put it all in writing cause sometimes it still feels unreal. That dream came when i arrived in the land of a thousand hills,my home country Rwanda! I packed my bags so fast(still in shock).I got  on a bus(still in shock)n i saw my home country..still in shock!! It happened so fast and time has gone so fast..after 19 years of being away from a country i can hardly call home,i finally got to see where i was from,its like knowing a part of yourself that you didn't get a chance to live out. I won't deny that i  missed home,sometimes it felt( and still does) like i was a foreigner in my own home,everyone speaks the same language that am  able to speak but when i try to speak,it sounds so foreign!I...

The good,the bad the ugly…the beautiful years of my life!

Happy new year!!!Two weeks down the line, and I still can’t predict how my 2013 will go down. I bet that’s the exciting part about new years( except from the annoying fact that I still   keep writing down the dates as 2012). Took me a while to write my first 2013 post,mostly cause I   had a cliché   idea of writing something about fresh starts,but I won’t take that turn.New year means a lot of things not just new beginnings, it’s also about rolling with the days as they come even when everything seems to stay the same, year in year out. Above all I can’t deny the fact that am alive, who knows what could have happened and nothing makes my heart more grateful   to my God for that blessing. So my first post this year is a lyrical piece written and   dedicated to my 2012 memories and 2013 ‘s unpredictable events. Two decades,that’s how long    I waited for you… If I could wait this long,then what could   possibly go wrong? I knew so...
