Finding My Voice

I went on a search in the stillness of solitude, Looking for the whispers of tales untold,My words yearning to land on a unique set of pages,A beautiful symphony waiting to be unveiled…Through the labyrinth of my mind I wander,The ink from my pen flows like a river unrestrained,As each sentence germinates into a stepping stone,Leading me closer to my place of belonging…With my pen in hand, I…

I become all mushy when he reaches out.

He is that squishy that keeps me put.

Despite the desire to stay in the love hut.

My residence is permanent in his heart.

Lalela,

Avoid conforming to foreign ideas that aren’t good for you, due to the soft conditioning the invaders and their puppets unleash. Theirs is to ensure that their agenda flourishes at the expense of your distress and suffering.La Nkosi

An Innocent Reminder

If it is written in your life story, it won’t lead to planting the seed of self-resentment in you. When we neglect our roots by abandoning our true identity, we take up an identity created by the system which only makes room for more chaos. Your bag was divinely created for you, stop chasing the fancy ones the system parades as the real makoya, because it doesn’t come with the blessings, healing,…

Why Is She Here?

The minute I walked in, I could feel the eyes of those who doubted my capabilities study me. I was told prior setting foot into the space of how they had already concluded before I could even prove myself, not to them but to those who entrusted me with the responsibility of reviving that which no longer had life. I still had a Pinch of hope. You would think a setting like this one would be one…

It Was Never A Happy Meal

Leadership is not a luxury, it isn’t a privelage but a responsibility. We must refrain from viewing it from a lens that is used by thieves in suits or the creators of the actual system itself. La Nkosi When placed in a position of power by those who believe in your qualities as a leader, it is your responsibility to live up to the promises made and the role you occupy, not to get comfortable in…

Apartheid Did Not End, It Evolved

Now that the cat is out the bag and your faves have been exposed, does it not bother you that your actions cost Natives their right to freedom of expression? For you to come out here and brag about fighting against a system you inherited, by maintaining it instead of doing away with it due to your desire for power and riches, is mad business! What strand are you on that has you acting like a…

Plant Magic

The healing power of plants should not be overlooked or discussed vaguely. Nature not only heals but also protects, anoints, sanctifies, and blesses her children. Our ancestors recognized the importance of the natural world and nature’s ability to meet our diverse needs. I, too, have embraced this wisdom through the guidance of those who have walked before me. This ongoing journey continues to…

The Time Has Come

In a world where truths are twisted,By the tales the creeps crafted,As if we’re puppets on strings,Dancing to the lies they bring… I hope we’re done with this thing,Because we’ve strayed from our ways,Breeding nothing but chaos,Where peace once reigned…Let this be our redirection,Navigating our way,Through the chaos and dismay,Under the guidance of those who came before…As we draw strength from…

If This Was A Diary, This Is My Entry

It surely was a beautiful day,If I could, I’d ask for her to stay,So I never miss out on the gems she brings…But then again,That would ruin the thrill of it all,A beautiful experience that led to my fall,Igniting a flame, I thought had gone, She snapped when she birthed this king,Who snatched my being without a struggle… @lankosiwrites @lankosiwrites

When Truth Thrives

Under the starlight night sky, Thoughts come to life, As words dance their way, Into the steams of ink, With a careful spill, Like a set of secret whispers, Creating tales coated with wisdom.. Wisdom and tales are transferred, Onto sheets that hold memory, A canvas for the soul’s longing…Now the twisted tales, Of those who crafted them, Shall lose their relevance,Because the rewriting,to break…
