flimsysoul

My coffee stained breath makes me uncomfortable. I have had a couple of sleepless nights, but this is by far the worst. And I keep intoxicating my lungs with the smoke from my cigarettes. Second pack and counting. On the table, my ash-tray lies tired. It is curved out to resemble the hippie sign, perhaps to compliment the freestyle path I trod. I am on fire, my hands are trembling and the corners of my mouth shake.

I crush a butt of cigarette on the tray, and I feel just as helpless. I feel like that spark of fire, too small to be of significance, that I have to be crushed at the end of my time. I am aching for more, my lungs are a blaze, they refuse. My mouth is dry, it begs. And so I smoke some more till I feel my eyes becoming heavy, and I…

EVEN THE DEMONS DANCE

There was something raw about his art. Something needy in the way all his characters were painted. It was in how they looked: like they were imploring for something deeper, something more meaningful, perhaps even seeking atonement for transgressions. It was in how each painting carried him and made him feel like he was floating. Since he had learnt he could paint, he took refuge in it. He liked that he could reveal to the world what hell he was going through and none but him could decipher.

Inside the mind of an African man

Due to globalization, humans have developed both intellectually and psychologically.. Well at least some have. Man being the most interesting creation ever made, is the most complex and difficult to understand. From the way he views things,sees life,responds to different stimuli in the environment, its true to say that though we may assume or think that we understand man, we don’t.. Because he keeps on changing.

NowI take a look at the African man for instance. Yes man here stands for the male gender in the African society and the human race. The African man; bold,energetic, authoritative and some what domineering. Some will say its a small group who are this way but I beg to defer..this is the reflection of the majority of African men. Their egos are even bigger than anything else ,this could be their DNA. As I search the answers do take a look at an African man around you .He knows or thinks that his the king of the jungle,well thats not a bad idea until he begins having bad ideas…….
