THE BOOK LAUNCH

Where is the love ?

I want love

I want love... I want love that will make dead man arise Love that so powerful like l ike Ezekiel That makes dry bones rise  Love that will survive Love that is unconditional Love that is beyond emotions Love that does not cost a thing Love that makes me feel like a King Love that does not ask for a damn thing! Love that loves Love that lasts, With no lust Even when it blasts It won’t rust Love that does not hold on to the past I want it! I want it even when we argue I still have the burning passion to be with you Love that gives me life Love so pure like a dove If I were a leper you will be my cure You will be my keeper 

I remember...

The first lorry load of cocoa Cotton Coffee Loading our soil   Our hard work in exchange for coins Butter trade I remember how we embraced colonialism We thought you were our brothers Cleverly you have divided us   We have perfected neocolonialism Like wine we have got better with time   Mastered the technique Now through airspace you have taken our people My people have sold their birth right They wanna... Look feel dress Act like you

For the love of art

Waiting for the rain

Charles Mungoshi in his book "Waiting for the rain" alludes to various themes in contemporary African affairs ranging from personal desire to  achieve, self emancipation , cultural independence, colonial freedom and the struggles of family disintegration amongst other themes .The key point being that as human beings we go through phases and processes which take time ,courage and patience .We leave our lives waiting for moments of breakthrough for the moments of break though are seemingly also waiting for those that are patient, resilient and take action towards making their lives and those of others better. Our lives are like the water cycle with water being a critical ingredient for our existence. Likewise we meet challenges that take long to be overcome, we thirst, we are discouraged and hopeless but to those who wait, it surely rains and when it rains it’s up to us to harvest the water. We choose the size of the harvesting container and it’s up to us to see oppo

Sketches from my publisher`s desk

LionheART Galleries - Njabulo Moyo Njabulo Moyo has been one of the young artists to have made significant mark. Arguably one of the youngest people to have self published a book in the form of motivational poetry, Moyo is an Inspirational Motivator, who has a deep passion for leadership.    He was raised in the dusty and chaotic streets of Mzilikazi, right in the midst of the Okapi lifestyle,and emerged a young man with a different vision. Today he shares his vision with the world. Coming from a fairly middle class background, his history is filled with challenges, but he does not allow this to hinder his vision. He grew up wanting to have an impact on the lives of people and having influence on those who do not yet know him.    The young author /speaker, affectionately known amongst his close friends as 'The Inspirational Motivator', has been using poetry as a niche in redefining his motivational aspect.
