Where is the love?

                                                   


What’s wrong with the world mama?
Life is no longer the same
It is like a game where only the victor enjoys
Whilst the poor are filled with shame
Languishing in misery

When I grew up people used to love
Oh! How I long for the good old days
When the old lady next door used to care
When the community used to share
When love used to be love..
When one man’s problem was also my problem 

Why do we hate?
Ask the youth, the doctors, the teachers, the politicians
They will say: “poverty is the reason why”
Has poverty robbed us of love?
Does poverty cause discrimination?

What’s wrong with the world papa?
Where is the love?
Why do we hate?
When the bible teaches us to love

Where is the love when we the youth need it the most?
What has happened to the value of humanity?
What has happened to the fairness of equality?
What has happened to the spirit of fraternity?

I wonder why people have chosen to show their immoral animosity
At a when the world needs love the most

Corruption, prostitution, brutality, immorality, death…..sorrow
This is our daily bread
It is high time we sought God’s divine intervention

Money :Is it the greatest source of motivation?

Some call it cash money, imali, muler  ,some say its the love of it is the root of all evil whilst others say it makes the world go around.The most interesting thing about money is that some of us cannot leve without it and neither can they live with it for to them its a case of "more money more problems" .Over the years,scholars have argued that: "the greatest source of motivation is money.Well we all need money as a means of exchange and to facilitate trade transactions and a store of value .However ,to a greater extent money has failed to motivate many people for  the greatest motivator is a strong, clear and passionate vision. This surpasses the desire for money or any gain whatsoever!Money cannot buy you a vision but a clear vision can get you money.

Does the world still have visionary leaders?

Visionary leaders are people who do not just paint a picture, but those that paint it and explain it! The whole essence of visionary leadership is rooted in one`s ability to effectively share their vision to others in such that even in their absence what they sought to achieve is achieved by others. The good thing about vision sharing is that you do not need to be there for your vision to be achieved. Most importantly you have to tackle all limitations and turn your tragedies into triumphs. The world has its own standards of determining hero and heroine status but to me it is those leaders that have turned their tragedies into triumphs and dark nights into victory that I believe deserve the status. A blind man`s world is bounded by the limits of his touch; an ignorant man`s world by the limits of his knowledge; a great man`s world by the limits of his vision .Paul Harvey What is vision?

Last Friday: Sketches from My Soul, BOOK LAUNCH

·     28 October, 2013 ·    Written by  Chris Nqoe Rain is considered a considered a good sign in African culture and tradition. In equal comparison, time is really not a concept that’s respected by people of African descent.  Now imagine our surprise this past Friday, when right on cue, 5PM to be precise, the heavens above Bulawayo opened up to bless our thirsty city with torrential rain.  The random event organiser would have been caught in a panic, praying to God to cease the floodgates of Heaven and ensure invited guests made it to the Sketches from My Soul book launch at the Bulawayo Theatre. Now picture what actually transpired at the venue of the launch, right under the pouring rain. Guests were instead seemingly oblivious to the rain, posing for close to three photographers on the red carpet, capturing moments that will become WhatsApp avatars and Facebook profile pictures. Book lovers, the literati, media,  poets and Bulaw...
