It was in the twilight, I was walking upstairs when my mom called me,
she told me that I was moving like a definition of life. I was confused and couldn’t really get what she wanted to mean.
I kept asking myself what’s the formula of life.
Life is an opportunity to achieve what you want, It doesn’t matter where you were nurtured It matters to the love you give, Not the hate you give, Look up to grab the forth And How you can define this mystery. We go up and downs, We lose and gain And we create what we get The life we live is determined by our preference But it doesn’t mean that We’re all set “How to build a life” is a new column that aims to give you the tools you need to construct a life that feels whole and meaningful, said Arthur Brooks in 2017. After a while, you learn The subtle difference between Holding a hand and chaining a soul And you learn that life doesn’t mean leaning It doesn’t mean that the path is always smooth. But creating it. I could feel the strong love in my veins N’ lifting up my weight Lik’ a sunset on the top of hill shining The kisses aren’t really contracts But the way I treat my beloved ones R’ Spinning my manners And mixing up words All make me dizzy That’s the ocean I swim Good and bad, It’s always in the hideout drifting in every single corner Nobody around to lift and get me water I am exposed Because I still want honor Like a doyen in hammer I keep nodding with a little smile Why ain’t I getting the formula. The power of love, grit And growth mindset No messy, just Doing what is right Being yourself and loving yourself The community is again the priority Just keep serving with the heart of gratitude That’s the formula of life. © Emmanuel Ahishakiye
A: Every early morning waking up thinking of you
B. Okay. Fun of you hhh. eehee
A: I keep on following you!
B: Ah. I also keep on following you!
A: Women are trash.
B: Men are trash.
A: Why Do I even keep on Running after you? Love is blind.
B: Okay: Leave me alone; Love is not blind.
B: It was your choice.
A: Of course. Then I never regret
A: And you know how much I care about you
B: You also know how much I think of you
A/B: Let’s leave it
A/B:
That’s how we live
A: Life is Razzmatazz
But rigmarolling
Where future seems unturned and clear
And skies are seen in blur mode for some folks
And view no success in the beautiful goals we have
And that’s okay
B: There is always a step to take
A: We are defined by what and who we show people we are
But bad enough, we are not given real definitions
Coz’ we chose material possessions
B: Indeed, Now we go
I think it’s a compelling choice
B: Just grasp that loud voice but catchy
And Say “Never be pretentious”
A/B:
Life isn’t the way we think it is
Climbing the tumble-like hill to the top
And it’s like little birds in the mystery
With mistakes of misery
But relearned the actions of bravery
A: That makes sense then.
It matters not how strait the gate,
How charged with punishments the scroll,
I am the master of my fate,
I am the captain of my soul.
B: The best gift to have is love but not a material one
A: But the best treasure to own is embedded in kindness and fidelity
B: Anyway do you remember to rethink before you chose
R’ do you remember to pray before you chose
That reflects the determination of our little choices
A: I go on the way
Out of the night that covers me,
Black as the pit from pole to pole,
I thank whatever gods may be
For my unconquerable soul.
and,
B: you just say
I have been told lies in that life,
Standing on the top of mountains distracted
Moving around and dancing in their matters and of course,
A: I was steaming and bombed in a fancy way
Raising my hands in the air but holding nothing special
B: Don’t just blame things that don’t work out
And say that chances didn’t turn out
A: Coz’ you messed up on your wanded- sledge
When you wanted to make it out
B: With your wrong choices to turn them out
Shame on you
A: I told you to leave me alone
Coz’ now I know the right track
The sky is not the limit
Just look into my hazel eyes and
Read aloud that formula
C=E
B: And that’s how I feel loved. hhhhh
A: Good for you.
A: You have many followers
You know that everyone is counting on you
For you to be the light of your generation
and your future begotten ones
B: The same to you
A: I remember
A/B:
We got out a bit and opened our eyes to see you
We came down hills as we’re discerning you up the hills
We ran breathlessly to set foot on your spot
B: Stars started shining by the time
And we lived again.
A: That was the meliora choice we ever made
A/B:
“Ever better”
The choices are in your hands
Mind your little choices
“Ever more”

In the afternoon, I, waking up after a long nap I found myself in a mystery With no definition of the skies Only feeling tied with dreams of whys Contours on my face, ooh My God, In the confrontation of your lies and cries Because of my strange trashed broken heart
People would always call me a man Cause they always saw me in pants And that’s why I sent my men With unturned fame, You told them I’m lik’ a broken glass I am nothing infront of you. Testify, stop killin it, Go B. Stop talkin’ Cool down, You’re a little broken bird with no land, no home, no love I’ve seen men, not like you A man with no stamina, no culture A man of confusion You have no room in my hood of heart Only boom of the bell of your tongue A. From Monday, Tuesday, the whole week We used to smile in pacificatin, But you multiplied all that feelings with minus Calling me onus Reminding me of what happened in the past That I couldn’t speak french and say “Je t'aime” Not for you but for my first crash Spanish, “Adios” all became my burden In my life, despair, all I faced Coz you remained my lurden burden especially when we;re in London B. I still freeze when I think of my friends whom we loved and lost In Dubai, when I was giving you that frozen flower in the last floor of the towel Burj Khalifa For I was not able to break the glass with my arabic voice of “hararahum”, Free them. But you don’t even take a glimpse of that, hoomie Forcing me to call you honey when Nobody was around to escot me in that journey Because I minded only my hometown language and shumi[Japanesse:hobby]. A. I still don’t blame you I only knew one language, But I always kept with the hymn of the harmony of Pablo, If each day a flower climbs up to your lips to seek me, ah my love, ah my own, in me all that fire is repeated, in me nothing is extinguished or forgotten, my love feeds on your love, beloved, and as long as you live it will be in your arms without leaving mine. And you never cared. Only calling me a trash B. It’s not only language barrier, You crashed on me and started making me your heart carrier Coz you had no culture, But day by the day I kept on learning and loving With the wounds of your shots and my own failures I still have a reason to live Swahili, hujambo is no longer a problem, Kinyarwanda, mwaramutse is neither A. You loved my flows when I started rapping Girl, I felt your presence when they let you through the door Never had a bruddah give you everything and more So I take a little piece and the rest of it is yours Mi amor Thug loving when I put you in your place I can tell you love it just by looking in your face OOh wow. Amazing!!! But you still never cared B. Oh Tell me you love me I need someone on days like this I do, on days like this….. In any language, My sledge, my pride, my dignity Come over, and hold me tight Coz you’re wise more than king’s knight Lik’ a that light in the night, Ahuuuui, Even our almighty God has put a mark on it. Oh my soul, breathe, breathe. Hungeri There is yet joy for us this late day. Clasp my hand harder if you will Tell me I haven’t mislaid my mind. The ecstasy of first love pulses still. Peace and passion we can yet find. Come walk with me in the misty rain And mend what was to what will be. Each kissing droplet cleanses the stain Nurturing a new life for you and me. And forget the history of a strange broken heart but only a tame love. B. Now we can speak, travel, and interact with our beloved ones A. Spread love and peace. A-B All languages matter!! United we stand! © Emmanuel A & Delice M
Dear Son, It started like a movie, But nobody could tell I was sophisticated, but nobody could apprise I called it a friendship but with pretentiousness
We looked insane We didn’t know that one day we would climb It was very confusing in that misery game Being mystified and stepped on by that matter And when he ran holding my hands I couldn’t notice It seemed boring in that twilight With no hope of gazing at the sunrise We only had feelings of disgust and love at the same time Haha, Very confusing, And we weren’t really worried coz’ That was the instant mood and our daily food I kinda motivated myself by saying it’s okay not to be okay Nevertheless, Living in that calamity Looking in the sky and Seeing no stars except blowing wind But what did I do after the miles I ran? You see! NO Choice While I was thinking about what to do next, It was very hard to think of luck Lik’ a sailor in the hurricane However, I heard some steps in distance heading up making noise In fact, I was still bamboozled coz’ my people were chanting in their resistance One day, I moved to a new place, And that I called home I kept blinking my eyes Standing on the crest of the wave Enjoying the fest of the west Trying this test of love Coz’ I didn’t want to rest on that phase, And that’s where I gave birth to you That was the real world of eagles, I thought you were saying, Mom, this algorithm is very tough I didn’t want to confess or laugh And of course, the way was not rough No more haziness thought was a lie, haha Our hearts were full of happiness indeed Bumped away laziness and Had feelings of love That wonderful feeling that seemed to boggle our minds They came across us after Sledging on our wand They took our shape because we were nurtured By the nature of the inspirational people Who taught us how to sing the songs of gratitude? And move in that special beat symbolizing sparrows Nicolas said A family is like a book. The ending's never clear, but through the pages of the book, their love is always near. You still stand near us holding our hands For you never let us fall You're still an exceptional Coz’ you don’t wanna let yours strand like them You have the key, Change them until you reach the page Those stories will never change You’re an excellent hero © Emmanuel A
Why ain’t I valued? Is it because I am you? Or is it that I have no money? They keep being rude because I am always in that hood of the mood Can I live when my face is curved by the hoodie? Let me leave it for the lobby Because I wanna express the heart of gratitude. .
I am always in the hideout I am drifted in every single corner Nobody around to lift and get me water I am exposed Because I still want honor Like a doyen in hammer I keep nodding with a little smile I want you to feel me, and Give me the ball on this floor. Don’t stage it out licking lips like a baby Don’t lie coz’ I am still gentle Like’ a gentle wind on the gentle slope of the jungle Stay humble and leave me alone Don’t give me a stone when I need a chrome My wand is tied with that rope I am brave Please show love! Don’t ask me If I need support When it’s conspicuous I am tummy I need unity and honey I have pair but I need fair Don’t forget care coz’ I am still aware There is no treasure but I need pleasure I don’t wanna starve coz’ I am on this pressure Consider my pace, and Give me peace and leave longer Render my attainments Slender this scandal,and Leave my blender! I suffered a lot They don’t see me I am invisible but invincible They treat me Like I am immortal Who is ready to take this photo, and Take me from This bulk local? I’m very tired of this game! I am dignified coz’ I was simplified a lot Take my hand, and Lift me up Give me the power to fight for the lower I am dedicated and focused I am the real community I want to love and serve with The heart of Gratitude © Emmanuel A

The way forward
I am still sleepy but
My eyes are clearly open
I go up and down
But I am still confused
The life is turning back
All of my things have become black
I am very stack
I don’t have any work
I still have the badge of bad luck.
I can see the river bank when I peep
I am swifted and frazzled
I whistle calling wisdom,
But they wall is still ragging on the stand
I still ain’t got no freedom
I am aching the blowing wind
Winding up my face
I feel pain on my ankle
And I keep asking myself
Is it because I don’t have an uncle?
How I am I gonna move forward?
I could hear nobody in the field
Coz’ they all left me in the film
I trim every part of the time
That’s my rhythm but,
God, Is this my stamina?
I reel the ray
Lik’ the spinning wheel on the way
I pray everyday
Holding my hands as a little boy
Ragging the way forward.
