Strange & Usual Happenings
by Nana Usekhu NeberterNo difference can be made without the same
This may or may not seem strange
Just as not all fought for gain
Extends the reins of Age old reign
Or expands the grounds of free range
Beyond much space and time attained
All such efforts to reclaim, restrains
But not superlatives trending by name
Who rise by fame with ready aim
Sparks whet themselves on war and game
Fighters amass on hills and plains
Steadily rearrange what was obtained
Simple things like joy and pain
And good sense to distinguish twain
Difference and same won't be explained
As twilight masters effect change
Decisions to raise and raze are sustained
Lovers grasp for what they claim
As bonds break clasps and unions form again
Both terror and wonder are exclaimed
When the new rhythm commands the refrain nonstop
Logic that make the most sync is repeated more often than not
This may or may not seem strange
Nothing that makes a lot of difference can be achieved without a lot of the same
This is what is happening
Ever-coming words, as always are manifesting causing climates, environments, societies and all sorts of organisms to change.
This time, we are alive during a large shift in momentum, thus large scale changes in ways of living are happening.
Will we make the same mistakes and sit back and watch those of evil intent prepare for another level of onslaught or will we repair our connections and prepare? Will we do something different this time around and avoid the mistakes of logic and trust of not heeding the glaring signs that we made in Africa, in the Americas, after 1863, after 1963, after 2008 and many times in between?
It's time to change what is strange and usual in our thinking and behavior.
Organize your mind and combine with others. Don't wait for African unity to be televised before you decide to be strange and usual where you stand.
