»the enhanced de-javu!«

by Lebohang Ramatswi

You might ask "What's that got to do with u!"
Walking through the road of discovery, I've been
enticed by delusions and illusions of poverty struck
individuals building corporate ladders, enhancing the
wide spread feathers of the sophisticated class.
Does beauty really lie in the eye of the beholder?
Or, is the glass of self esteem shattered by
the enhanced deja-vu? Still you might ask
"What's that got to do with you!"

The streets of the world are painted in red by the party animal that devours its victims with an X on a ballot paper, which leaves its victims questioning the difference between apathy and reality, yet sensitivity still being left behind like the blind suffering from the enhanced daja-vu! Still you might ask "What's that got to do with you?"

The green eyed monster still haunts the youth and has devoured the efforts of June 16! What ever happened to statements like "Mom, I'm proud to be a teen, I've just reached 18!" Yet the young reach 18 before their birthdays and times, shrines and scrutinizing pains haunt the brains and hearts of the ones who were the pathway to this world filled with the enhanced deja-vu! Still you ask "What's that got to do with you?"

Well, it has everything to do with you, Because You were supposed to meet that man of influence that morning, If that man of influence was not late on that day, coz his wife was cheating with another man, and that man cheating on his wife, because of the argument they had about the smeared lipstick he had on his shirt, coz he bumped into a girl at work by accident that caused the lipstick to stick on his shirt, coz that girl was in a rush to get out of the office coz she had a phone call that her best friend overdosed on crystal meth, coz her friend found out that she was Hiv positive, coz her boyfriend was unfaithful to her, coz her boyfriend thought he was thee man for his friends, coz his friends didn't stop him from sleeping with the wife of the man of influence whom u were supposed to meet that morning, that man of influence didn't pitch and give you that job that u desperately needed to take your siblings to school and to feed your entire family and prevent your brother from being in jail TODAY!!! If only the man of influence was there on that day!

We are all connected and need each other.
The decisions you take affects your sister and your brother
Stop the vicious cycle, life's not only about a big title.
Wake up and stop the enhanced deja-vu.
P.S. which political party are you voting for?
Coz I'm voting for King Jesus that has the power to
Eliminate the enhanced deja-vu!!!
CANDLE...
