Times

#Times

A time comes when you retreat
A time comes when you take a retreat as well
A time comes when people mistreat you
A time comes when you treat yourself
A time comes when treatment is inevitable
A time comes when you are maltreated
A time comes when mistreatment overwhelms

A time comes when speech isn't therapy
A time comes when reflection matters
A time comes when an ambivert is introverted
A time comes when your siblings wonder
A time comes when no one cares
A time comes when you must ponder
A time comes when you are all alone
A time comes when you must relax
A time comes when tax must be paid
A time comes when your books talk
A time comes when you must be YOU

At that time, silence speaks louder than speech
At that time speech is silver, silence is golden
At that time friends turn into foes reloaded
At that time you must allow yourself to be judged
At that time life must go on unstirred
At that time you must reflect and change tact
At that time scorn is inevitably inevitable
At that time you must lose some friends
At that time the lion remains the lion
At that time the old is shed off, the new comes in
At that time be prepared for anything
At that time no one seems to notice your predicament
At that time the least person on your mind is concerned
At that time pause, breath
At that time UNTHINK
At that time RETHINK
At that time THINK

Think positively and negatively positively as well
Think again and again then again
Think against and for then against again
Think literally and figuratively again
Think of the rainy days but don't forget the dry season
Think of autumn, fall and spring reflectively
Think of the past,relish in the present forget not the future
Think about you, her, him and them
Think of blocking and  unblocking your thoughts
Think of prayer and fasting, above all think again
Think and think but don't be thick

Only then will you be YOU!

See!

Wagogni

#Wagogni Among the Acholi, a lady who is already married is referred to as "migogo"(singular),plural "wagogni" Now, Migogo  is a very important establishment, if not institution. The state of being married or "kend",say "keny".is highly revered.Migogo is also referred to as "ogwang" I must add that a stray/wild cat also goes by this name. See! It is believed that an in unmarried nubile lady brings bad omen to those dwelling in the compound. As such, when such a lady changes geography, Amadioha forbid, they are buried at the far end of the fence from outside. It is believed that they prevent those little girls not yet married from being married and getting children. (some beliefs though!) Now, a migogo is respected as well. Especially when "or" as son in-law is referred to as forms the key interplay. That's to say if she is married! I still don't understand this obsession with marriage. Isn't one free to dec...

Fools paradise

#Fools_paradise I am yet to meet a sleeping beauty like my Geography teacher.She had a rare 'ambience',a distinct perfume,clean to no default and with admirable mien,it is a pity she wasn't my class teacher(another day,another story about my classteacher.)-despite all these,my teacher of English remained a favourite to all boys(May he RIP). Now,a 'new' teacher was 'posted' to our school-I can't even remember her name-what I am sure of is that she was barely 24 years!(stop having ideas,see!) Keen to outdo our Geography teacher,she overdid it!(I will spare you the details).Naturally,as boys will be boys,a few of us(count me out-I was the tiniest in class after Kaloki Ndeti),used to tease her!And how we relished in the dramatic irony! Now,those days the captain used to handle all the letters after teachers had picked theirs.One Monday morning he gets a post card titled 'Fools Paradise' addressed to this new teacher by her boyfriend with whom...

Vigil

#Vigil In my village, just like in many African villages, when one changes geography, there's usually what we call "arita" night vigil. It's a period where the people keep the dead company the whole night before they are "swallowed by the earth" the following day. Several activities accompany this nocturnal ceremony and tradition, deeply embedded in most cultures. The preparations are made in advance. One thing that you won't find missing is a bonfire where "jodongo"(Old men), clad in their "kabut"(a blanket of a jacket), warm themselves. They spend time reminiscing about the good deeds of the late. One would be heard saying "An Nick ne miya ga  pesa machwako nyoyo, diere moko ne wadhi sero kode Seme Konywera kocha, gima ne waneno bor korie"(Nick used to give me money that can boil 'githeri', at one time we went on a seduction spree in Seme Kolunje, what we saw is long when straightened 😂 😂 😂) Granted, mos...
