When I forget...


When I forget, time reminds me
Hours  can turn into months, months into hours
What I once hoped for, I no longer care for


When I forget, growth  reminds me
Gain can turn into pain, victories turn into lessons
What I once cried for, I smile about
When I forget, the world reminds me
Alone I may be, but lonely not always
What I once yearned for, I could live without 


When I forget, thoughts embrace me
Reminding me.... 
Lessons take time,
Lose hope but never lose the faith,
Live for yourself, love others too
Contradictions are lessons
Embrace it all, it's the joy of living
When you forget, remember, always remember you are living 
That's enough to never forget.

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...

In another life...

"I wish I was strong enough to lift not one but both of us Some day I will be strong enough to lift not one but both of us" If these words were sang as a  sort of world anthem,then i think the world would be a much better place in some ways.I heard the song over the weekend and just one listen to it was enough to get my mind buzzing and for some time now i had never really found a song to say just what  i felt until i heard B.O.B on the radio rapping it out for the whole world to hear. So this morning,thanks to google i just found out that there are close to 7 billion people in the world...and am one of them!!So why in the world would such a song be of any help to me when am faced with this huge number of strangers i call my fellow human beings??How is it possible that in my own little ,maybe even meaningless capacity, i  could help  so many( 7 billion!!!!)???....but when i heard the chorus to this song  "I wish I was strong enough to lift not one bu...
