With Odds Vs Me

Somehow i get by
with all odds 
against me
i am still standing
and breathing
feeling is seeing
having hope
within faith 
that strengthens one 
to keep on rising
each time
 they fall
even knowing 
that certain things 
may be manipulated
to make sure 
that desired 
and deserved pitfalls
make one 
submerge 
in tears 
stained 
with  prompts of pain
but the heart,
the soul and mind
with time
learned 
not to choke
on all 
that may be thrust
in its way
the warrior soul
seeks
causes
that make
one look for positives 
in negative flaws
that dissect
human ways 
of thinking
nudging the brain
to ask:
Is it really possible
to remain standing
when all odds 
are against one?
no matter what
somehow i get by!

DONNA SUMMER IS GONE - Heart Songs

 

Oh no Oh no
Donna Summer is gone
Who will sing me
Those sweet melodies
Lovely lullabies
Forever touching
the layers and the core
deeply embedded
within my soul

  

Oh no Oh no
Donna Summer is gone
Too sad i was born
too late and now
i got no chance
to walk to her
and use her grooves
on her as i hold
her hand whispering
flavors in her ears
LOVE TO LOVE YOU BABY

 

Oh no Oh no
Donna Summer is gone
why why why
Father, Lord GOD
She is gone too soon
I need her more
Than before
Her lyrics
are engraved
onto all of my bones
She was
and will always
be my HOT STUFF

 

Oh no Oh no
Donna Summer is gone
I feel
like i am losing oxygen
as my heart is succumbing
to the pain
blackening my days
you see
there are DIVAS
and then there are others
above divas
then there is DONNA SUMMER
LORD GIVE ME BACK MY DONNA SUMMER
With her gone
three seasons remain
SUMMER IS GONE
No more LAST DANCE
DONNA SUMMER IS GONE!

Can you permute

Can you permute
the universal strands
of a dysfunctional DNA
that says we are better
than they are
when they are taken away
what are the chances
of it becoming homicidal
burying all that is its kind
as it pursues to be the best
by all means which at its
best could be through
subtraction, division
or elimination?
As it proceeds
To be the last
Man or woman
Left standing
Is it worth
It all
Is something
won or lost
What is the factorial
Of this same strand
Of dysfunctional DNA
Becoming suicidal
When it is all left alone
With its hands
Holding a full metal Jacket
Aimed at its head?

5 Minutes Alone

5 Minutes Alone
with her
is what i wanted

5 Minutes Alone
To taste
all of her lips

5 Minutes Alone
thinking of her
i see stars

5 Minutes Alone
With her in view
serendipity plunges

5 Minutes Alone
Births Centuries
of her dreams!

This love is strong

This love!

that i feel for u
is so strong
and too solid
i have heard
since my birth
that love comes
and love goes
but i am willing
to bet all i have
on this regal love
that has become
my backbone
in it i am ready
to bank my hope
and all of my faith
you see let me
put it this way
this love is strong
too strong and fulfilling
it has become my Shangri La


HEAVEN  ON  EARTH !

Conflict Resolution by Youth (CRY) Uganda

http://www.cryuganda.org/#1

Warm greetings from Conflict Resolution by Youth (CRY) Uganda, a non Governmental organization founded in 1999 by young Ugandan ladies. It was registered in 2001 as an NGO non-profit non-governmental organisation in the Republic of Uganda. (CRY Uganda Reg. No. is S. 5914/3555). It arose out of the desire to change the prevalent culture of violence embraced by the youth to one of non-violence in addressing challenges that are faced by young people today CRY was founded by young people for young people. It has also been incorporated as a Ugandan company limited by guarantee, Its tax identification number is B08-1010-5244-S.
It arose out of the desire to change the prevalent culture of violence to that of non-violence by addressing issues that face young people today. This is backed by the firm belief that young people need to be exposed to wider horizons in order to change their lifestyles and attitudes – the guiding principle in CRY’s mission, a bold step in realising and securing social entrepreneurship. CRY Uganda is currently working on youth peace projects in south-east Asia and all over Uganda, but with particular focus to the northern and eastern parts of the Uganda in the districts of Lira, Kampala, Wakiso, Gulu, Kasese, Kabale, Bushenyi, Kitgum, Bukedea, Kapchorwa, Soroti, Kumi and Nakapiripirit, Moroto, Kitgum, Amuru, among others. CRY Uganda are part of a number of networks globally and exploit the magic that together we are stronger.

CRY recognizes that Youth are a resource. Youth are the resource. CRY Uganda submits that we ought to use the numbers, optimism, energy and enthusiasm of young people for solving today’s world challenges.

Est. 1999 in the republic of Uganda by two young girls (Daisey Muculezi Kamuli from western Uganda and Marion Akiteng from eastern Uganda).

Since she left

Since She left
It rains no more
Earth is sunbaked
All tentacles dried
Oasis not trickling
Desert storms brewing
Everything is dying
Spirits praying
For a catapult
Full of elasticity
With an angle
With the perfect
Projection
Second to none
Great is its precision
Needed to restore
That which was
Now longing to return
To days now past
When love
Was the only gem
Attached to the hip
And all that is
The Alpha and the Omega
The ending becomes
The beginning...

Dance for love!

The watcher got us
dancing for love
what must be
will come to be
the key remains
buried within you
just dig a bit deeper
observe the forces
that are within
become awareof it all
a hunch
a gut feeling
will serve u well
listen to the voice
of reason yelling
from the mountain top
within all that is u
do not second guess it
it's there for a reason
become aware
of all, nothing and everything
the universe knows
the universe gives
the universe got u
dance for love!
