Love is Truly a Strange thing.

Love can fix all of your problems, and it can ruin everything else. Love tangles your emotions and drives you to ecstasy, but can shoot you down and complicates all others. It's a maze. You either go in and struggle your way towards happiness or fall before the path of heartbreak and misery. It has no direct answer. You meet someone. Fall in love. Be happy. Be broken. Be everything, everyone and be life itself.  Since day one in life people been talking and writing about love but none -including myself- been remotely close to the essence of true love and what it is for a fact. This is not from a scientific standpoint of course. But what it is love? (Baby don't hurt me, don't hurt me, no more... Sorry had to throw this pun here) I'm one of those people that just love to love, the feeling of love itself is wonderful. Make you feel complete, and capable of doing absolutely everything you want. You feel true serenity deep down and you can literally t...

Wolf Among The Sheep

I am, who I am. I am the wolf among the sheep.  I am the devil in disguise of an angel. Through goodness, I've deprived evil. Total darkness spreads over everything. I am, who I am. I am the wolf among the sheep. Am I a dream or a horrific nightmare? No longer do I see. Am I a prey or have I become the predator? Sweet seductive, that I am. But a wolf regardless of anything else. I am, who I am. I am the wolf among the sheep.  

Unrighteousness

The problem is, I know myself too well. I know when I'm fucking myself over, and when I'm lying to me. I know when I'm being stubborn, when I'm being honest, and even when I'm being a flat-out asshole. I know myself too well, not to fall for my own bullshit. But I do. Willingy. Is it because I don't know how to control myself? Well I do have a very strong hands when it comes to taming myself, but nonetheless I fall for the same bullshit I make every single time.  Perhaps that's because I don't like the idea of being proved wrong. Proving myself wrong that is, not being called out by others. I can very much own up to my mistakes and apologize for them, but somehow that doesn't extended to me.  How can someone be so stupid and so righteous and even so wrong, all at the same time?! It's ironic. 

Forsaken.

I went to bed one night, hoping one day that things will be better for me. I never really woke up the next morning. Neither dead nor alive, maybe stuck in a limbo or just thrown into oblivion willingly.  Nonetheless, when I was sort of awake I looked for you since you've had me with you. I gave you myself... But you were gone, gone with me. I've looked for you everywhere but you were nowhere to be found. So I kept looking for myself in me, but nothing was there, I was with you.  Long passed before I've found you, and when I did you were gone. Replaced with someone else, I do not know who this person is... And when I looked for myself in whatever is left of you, I found that I too was replaced.  Who am I? Who are you? Nothing makes sense anymore. Nothing is the same.  I've spent too long of time searching for myself in you when all along myself been within me. I've been oblivious to that fact. Maybe I didn't want to believe that one way or the other.  The...

الرجوع إلى الحق

كثيراً ما سمعت هذه الجملة "الرجوع إلى الحق فضيلة" بل يمكنني أن اضيف انه أم الفضائل, لكن ما استطعت أن أكون علي يقين تام من حقيقة الحق التي لا تقبل جدال. إذا أدعيت انني مدافع عن حق ما, جاء أحدهم و شكك فيه و ادعى هو مصاحبة الحق. حتي الشئ الذي لا يمكن لعقل التشكيك به في عالمنا العربي و هو الحق الإلهي يتم تشويه صورته و تحويله بصورة أقبح من وجه الشيطان ،فهؤلاء قد فسروا كلام الله عز وجل حسب ما ارتأت أنفسهم و هذا ليس بشيء جديد فلطالما كان أمثال هؤلاء موجودون, لكن ما هو الحق في هذا الزمان؟ و من هم اصحاب الفضيلة؟  يؤسفنى أن أقول أن كل ذي وجهة نظر هو صاحب حق في نظر نفسه و من تبعه, فلقد نجح في تكوين عقيدة ما بداخله عن مفهوم معين حسب فهمه الخاص له. فقد ينظر إليه جميعنا علي انه مجنون أو أي شيء من هذا القبيل لكن في واقع الأمر أنه علي حق و مدافع عن الحق في نظره. فكم العقائد بداخلة جعله مؤمن بما قد يراه الكثير علي انه كذب هو يؤمن و يصدق و يُرى هذا الكذب علي انه الحق الأحق أن يتبع, لهذا نري أمثال الأرهابي و المتطرف بيننا و هو علي حق بالنسبة للعقيدة الخاصة به.  أخاف أن أقول أن الغباء...

جيل بلا هويه

انا من مواليد التسعينات بالتحديد مواليد عام 1993, و كما لاحظت في بعض أبناء جيلي – و يمكن إحتساب بعض أبناء الجيل السابق لنا – أن هنالك سمة عامة بينهم, و هي غياب الهدف العام في الحياة. أي يمكن القول أن فينا الكثير ممن يسعون للتفوق و يراعوا مستقبلهم بالتأكيد لكن إذا نظرنا لقاعدة الهرم فإن عين الملاحظ سترى تلك السمة العامة التي ذكرتها جيداً. لا أعلم إن كانت الظروف السياسية في بلدنا خلال فترة ترعرنا صغاراً لها يد في ذلك أم ان الظروف القاسية من الناحية الإقتصادية هي من خلق ذلك فينا. أياً ما تكون تلك الأسباب إلا أنني سوف أعتبر أن التربية هي العامل المباشر في تحويل جيل من الشباب – ذو وعي في نواحي مختلفة – إلى ألالات لا ترى أمامها سوى التقدم الدراسي و كفى. لا تسيئوا الظن هنا فالتقدم الدراسي مهم جداً بالطبع لكن الدراسة هي وسيلة و ليست غاية في حد ذاتها, حتى و إن كانت لزيادة الثقافة أو الوعي للشخص الدارس لكن فيما يبدو أن الأمر يختلف هنا في مجتمعنا الحبيب. اود أن اضرب مثلاً شهير هنا و هو كيفية تعامل الأباء مع أبناءهم في مرحلة الطفولة أو بتعبير أدق في بدايات مراحل التعليم لدى الطفل, فنرى الأ...

The Story of Kitega (Part 1)

I had few encounters with people who try to help their communities with all they have got, there are plenty out there in the world.  But today I would like to dedicate this article and few ones to come for a specific group of people.. The Kitega Community Centre Born in the heart of poor environment and very low resources, the men and women of Kitega Centre decided to have a stand, to have a strong voice against endless challenges and struggles, but yet they have managed to find success. A beacon of hope for disabled and orphaned children and their families and even more. The Kitega Centre  was initiated by Rev. Canon Silas Musoke, with the help of the Kingserve Trust in Scotland. And  From 1999 to 2004 the centre was under the umbrella body of the National Association for the Mentally Handicapped. But only in  2004 the centre was registered as an independent Non-governmental origination in Uganda. With such effort to start this centre in the p...
