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!

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...

Boxed in...

" Thinking out of the box, thinking like there's no box "..who cares?????  example of  wise words that I have ignored  a thousand times simply because they are money-making ideas for  inspirational gurus fixed on creating  bestselling  mantras.They give you that "i-can-do-anything" willpower which slowly fades into a  "maybe-i-can't-do-that" motto.  I am not writing this down to discredit these wise adages or worse still, to count the number of times i have ignored these words .But am writing this because i had the most unusual wake-up call,from one of these bestselling jingles "Think outside the box" Let's hit rewind and go back to a few weeks ago...it was back to class and that feeling of "am-not-ready-for-school" was nagging at me.3 months of internship,and a week to rest( which was  recuperation period from tonsils), and now back to school with a project proposal due in a week.Complaining is so easy when you have the ...

It don't matter if you're black or white...

" I AM NOT MY HAIR" ...."It DON'T MATTER IF YOU'RE BLACK OR WHITE" these are the words to two songs that have been replaying in my head since last week's The Trend Show with Larry Madowo.Social media was a buzz with Vera's interview and her confident proclamation of her body being her business ( makes you think what she really meant by 'business') In all honesty, am no fan of hers, but the interview and all the comments made online about it, gave me a lot to reflect on which led to an interesting conversation with Rodney Onyango.His take on the matter gave me new perspective and i admit, it kept me from being too judgemental.For more of his ideas, check out his link The Spectator Someone must really hate being black.50million! I could think of 50 million ways to spend that cash other than changing the colour of my skin.Anyway, who am i to judge when it's clear that we have different priorities, needs, wants and skin preference...
