I Hear You

I hear you,
 Your chants of ample wealth and riches
Your will to be sober with the grim-faced paupers
I hear you
Click

It is a fine gesture is it not?
The acute concern for Africa’s south to north
 I’ve heard of their great exploits in my lands
And my people are no less grateful for these aides
Click 2

 But you have in the name of grants
Fraught our shores with incredulity
You hide behind care’s bark
And wipe your dusty feet in our capitals Click 3

Now my people are branded with vile names
My lands, how grand is now but samples
These places are centres for charity
And I wonder does it ever reach parity?  Click 4

 Dignity integrity honour
My people have lost a lot of it
We are far from remission as now
Today and tomorrow as each day passes

 I hear you, your bickers
And sarcastic mutters
Your funny whispers
And confabulations, I hear you
Our allegiance lies with our hearts
My people will not be servitude to your tact
We know your stories too
Humble beginnings were all it took

Parade now yourselves in the circle of truth
Your hands are better off in your ambient
My people will need no more of your charity
Take your resource and give back our pride. Click here
I will speak now like the great orator
Round them up, their goodness, and bid them away
We shall hope upon our will
And we shall live
If there comes ever a day where your people lack naught
Look not to us, for we shall be a step ahead in plenty
We shall live through the cold winters and hot summers
Through illness and diseases, we shall live
The day shall come when our ode shall be sung
A day when we shall be a depraved country no more
On that day when tweets of harmony and strength synch
I too shall say I hear you.  Click for more

In My Feelings

I'm in over my head and possibly out of my league. I have become very cautious with my words, every sentence should make perfect sense, have the right rhythm and sound intriguing to perfectly explain how I feel without being impulsive or becoming too pesty.  Click 1 I'm not feeling it, but I know the feeling, I'm not seeing it but I know how beautiful it is. I can't hold it but I know it is the most tangible asset. I've loved and still love you without a price tag. So it's not that I love you but I am in love with you. We're not all expressive, some say it as it is while others don't.  Click 2 Well I've already accepted to not give up, to be there when there's nothing to make me remain and at the same time remain committed to you because I believe that someday you'll not just see how much I love you or feel it but I'll see it from you when am down and just the sight of it will make my heart plunder deep into tears of

To -Do-list Tips

Unable to focus & get things done? Always Forgetful?  Here are a few things I do when I find myself unable to concentrate or focus during the day or forgetful and to boost my overall productivity and performance and ensure I am checking off the important tasks on my to-do list.    letting go One thing I have learned about myself is that I forget a lot even to a fault if I should add but am working on it, in fact, that is why I always carry a small dairy everywhere. ...

Everyday gives a new start

I've always viewed life from the sidelines, Just watching it pass me by, In the past too afraid to just let go and live, And lately too tired to try. https://www.justychidd.com/2018/06/let-life-race-you-out-your-fears.html I've envied the people around me, So invested in living each day, While I spent my time hiding out from the world, And searching for ways to escape.  In love but no leg For most of my life, I truly believed, I was here to help somebody else, But now it's so clear it was just an excuse. To avoid living life for myself.   Love is an action word It's sad that our lives and the pain we endure, Can weaken our strength to move on, But if we get lost in the scars of our past, Without knowing our lives will be gone. Advice to my younger self Its true people are disappointing, They can turn in the blink of an eye, But we can't avoid hurting each other, When we all want a chance at this life.  But there's something I've
