He was my friend Bongz DiBongz

 You can search his name 

A thousand will come up 

None of them will be him 


He is etched Sketched 

Immortal

Yet you won’t find him anywhere 

On any social media 


No traces, no footprint left behind 

No pain, no sorrow

He was my friend 

Smiles all around 


Energy 

Loud 

Brash 

Showing off 


Maybe you’ll say I’m crazy 

No such person existed 

I won’t blame you 

He left no trace, no footprints 


Etched sketched immortalised 

Engraved deep in my spirit 

He was my buddy 


Maybe you’ll say I’m a madman

Maybe I am 

Maybe you’ll say I’m creative 

An artist 

On the fringe of society 


You’ll say I’m funny 

A comedian, Trevor Noah 


How can such a person just vanish 

We don’t believe you 


I assure you he was real 

He was loud and brash 

He had too much to say 


He was a tortoise, soft in a tough shell 

He was pure in a corrupt world 

He was a fighter and a lover 

He was a mess and he was not 

He was alive and crazy 

Pure electricity 


He was charming 

He was naughty 

He was a man of his word

Yet he was mysterious, he could not be contained 


You’ll say I’m lying 

I won’t blame you 

You’ll say I’m silly 

What else can you say 


He seems too perfect 

Too unreal 

He seems made up 

You have no proof 

But he was my buddy 

He was my friend 


Bongz DiBongz 

He is surely immortalised 

In my spirit

There Was A Time Before Algorithms

I know it’s going to sound strange but there was a time before algorithm   Where we basically made our own decisions Yes it sounds like we were out of rhythm   But actually we got to use our brains   People met each other offline   It was a fun time   Of-course there was no offline because there was no online   The only thing online was our brains   Now of-course our brains are offline our phones are online   Not that there is much of a difference between our phones and our brains   Haven’t you seen you go to sleep around the same time you leave your phone alone   Can’t function unless you are one with your phone So if your phone is your brain   Then what will your brain do? Anyway people met and spoke and determined if they would meet again  At an actual location, mostly outdoors, when the weather was right And you couldn’t just unsubscribe at the bottom of the email   You had to have a tough real conversation   Or r...

Love?

  The world understands love as dating and owning each other, having a person. Getting married to another person and all that jazz. Love in this way is someone that I will be jealous over. Someone that I will use for something, to get something out of them. To the world love is the person who carries my burdens, has to deal with my demons, my aggression, my flaws. Love also is not the contrary of all these things for if it were then it would not be love.   In the world a friend again is the person that you use/ abuse. When you need someone to burden and then fight with. Tell them your petty fights at work and mischievous things you find yourself entangled in.  What then is love? Love cannot be fenced into a description, precisely the word love is limited, it’s only a word and can be abused and is used and abused. Everyone uses that word even when they are drunk and when they make absolutely no sense. They use that word when they have abused their friends and want forgiven...

When people genuinely love each other there is no need for boundaries

When we love each other we do not need to set boundaries. Love overcomes the need for boundaries. It is when there is no love that boundaries exist.  If you love each other naturally you won’t hurt each other. However when there is contempt for each other we will hurt each other and then we will set boundaries.  Boundaries are not a natural part of our relationships. They are like borders, they are created because we have been hurt. They are created out of fear. When you become aware that someone can hurt you, you have to create a border / a boundary so that they do not hurt you.  Living in boundaries is limited. Rather live in love. We force ourselves into relationships that require boundaries as we have come to understand relationship as synonymous with conflict. We thrive from the ups and downs of relationships and thus we need boundaries from the very people that we say we love. Is it not possible to live without hurting each other?  Do you want to be in love or ...
