Free verse...THINK

Government, policies, institutions
put together to brain wash the average man
for now to seek life means to seek weallth by all means
necessary....
Lame man still lame
Blind man still Blind
searching for truth in institutions
that were never made to reveal the truth
the trap has already been set for him who seeks
wisdom, if you doubt me ask the little boy
who wanted to know who killed his father

Religion, culture, emotions
used against everyone who does not
search but follows the status quo
lame man leading blind man
blind man leading lame man
lost but yet they pretend to know
for you to know you must search
for you to see you must discern

They made you fall inlove with wealth
now all that matters is that paper
lame man perishing
Blind man Perishing
Yet they lie that they live
Beautiful ugly world...what have you created?

open up your eyes, then maybe
you will see....?
life is really not what you see
for life is in the blood and blood
is the very life you live
maybe yellow isn't yellow?
grass is not really green?
man is fallen so what do you think?

Injustice, hunger, pain, sorrow,jealousy
hatred, wars, fear, manipulation. winners,losers
anger, malice, diseases........who created all these
.....is it you?

Nneka Egbuna

Nneka.....is simply...hmmm....whats the word again? words fail me when it comes to describing this bold but shy singer, songwriter, guitarist e.t.c, i have been following her music and the truths she spews through her lyrics which is usually intertwined with soulful melodies is just captivating. There is just something about truth and authenticity that can cut across barriers of culture and other things, that is what her Music has done!....whether you are American, Nigerian(like me), British, German or whatever, you can connect with the deep human desire for truth, justice and love to reign...obviously there are a few who would hate truth to reign because they are the culprits of the lies we all live in....but i digress...I hope people support her as her album drops in the U.S which is titled concrete jungle because i will definitely cop that album .... I don't know but there is something her music does for me, it tugs at my heart to be the change instead of complaining because truth be told we are all parts of the problem existing in our world today!...As a Nigerian her music pushes me to want to help Nigeria make a change, go back home and look for areas i can affect for the better....Nneka thanks for being real and showing us what the real face of music is in our generation, instead of all these crap being promoted...bling bling, booty shaking nonsense...

2010!

wow!...it is 2010!...even though this entry is coming in rather late, i still felt a need to come in Here and appreciate God for his mercies and grace, for showing me love and strength in my weakness....i just discovered something great...i was doing my usual thinking while reading a book and the book was talking about courage and it went ahead to mention couple of people who gave themselves up and over for a good cause...i always wondered what the mind set of those men and women was or is? i always wondered if their moments of standing up for such unpopular believes, if they were scared? did they doubt ? did they wonder were God was? and i discovered that all this people shared the same thoughts as many of us....they had their moments of fear, passion, tears, love, anger, doubt....but they pushed through that fear for the greater purpose bigger than themselves. So i have redefined what courage means to me " courage is not the denial of fear and doubt or even pain but the acceptance that those feelings are normal and allowing your weakness to push you into the hands of christ, so that through his spirit that is residing in, you would do the unmiginable that is why the bible says in 2cor 12:9 "my grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness" therefore i will boast all the more gladly of my weakness, so that the power of christ may rest upon me.....So the answer to courage is the power of CHRIST! I have always wondered about those things and it is interesting to note that everything that pertains to life can be found in Christ Jesus.
