TSHAKA ZULU: SHAKESPEARE'S SHORT TROUSERS

Monday 20 October, 2014

Start: 22:22

Tshaka Zulu: Shakespeare’s short trousers

Please pour your heart on me…
Please tell me the crust of your truth
And I can comfort your heart with love!
Why would you run away from that granny?
Without saying good bye or even trying to offer her something?

Why do we always get these patterns in life?
One person that will fully help you
To cross that bridge of life…
Is the same person, you ran away from every day!
Why do we always hand around people who tear our hearts apart?
As we pretend that all is well?

Pretendence! Pretendence!
Is there a reason to pretend?
Are you not the master mind to this- Shakespeare?
“Heee this world is a stage where everyone is an actor”

Acting! Acting!
I am not acting! I am living!
I guess, life is a battle for the truth or not!
For me… I chose the truth.

I wouldn’t want to live a life pinned on its falsehood…
But the truth- I will forever hold in the breast plate of my heart!
 I wouldn’t want to live in time pinned on its falsehood…
But the truth- I will forever hold in the breast plate of my heart!
I wouldn’t want to live for a destiny pinned on its falsehood…
But the truth- I will forever hold in the breast plate of my heart!

Who said “Heaven is not there…
And hell is coming?”

To this, do you subscribe?
To this, do you not see every day?
To this, I will forever hold in the breast plate of my heart!

A life of falsehood- full of the maximum joy that an individual can see!
A life of truth- full of fear of isolation and wrong paint, being painted and glued towards the heart!
Isn’t the heart created to love?
Then- what will it love? From this dish full of fear?
Fear- to systemize the system…
And fear to fight against the system powers!
That I respect…But soon I will change!

Whose short way it anyway?
That brought this revelation…
And that brought this destiny full of life?

From his vision she believed
From his fears she comforted
From his curiosity she cared
From his suspicion she presented
From his truth she became afraid and wished for an answer
From his appearance she disappeared
From her disappearance she lied and lied and lied!
She even painted abstract pictures…
I could hardly see with my own naked eye
All I believed1 because I am a believer and I trust her
From all her efforts, I greatly appreciated
Because, it was a miracle that came true!
Because, when it comes to the truth- we do not disconnect!

Tell me…
What would you do? If you believe in a miracle…
Yet that miracle is the deepest crust of lies?
Tell me…tell me…
What would you do?

What would you do…?
If you are told exactly the same about your church…
Tell me…tell me…
What would you do?

You want deeper truth?
Ok fine…
What happened to all the people who died before you were born?
What will happen to Mohammed people, Buddha people, Rastafarian people or even Jesus people, who are yet to be born?
And who knows what will happen to the first day of the last?

The truth- is the ultimate bone and breathe to life.
Who would want to chew your bone away from you?
Who would want to inhale all your breathe from you?
To that- imprison that cell and send it to hell fire!

So…
Whose hand was it that sewed the short?
 The hand from mother love- that sewed the short
Many reckless hands that sewed the short from the factory
Many buttons from the computer- that sewed the short from the system
Or- that gifted hand in the community- that sewed the short…from hunger inspiration and financial anticipation?
I guess, in this life- I will only wear hand crafted shorts…or shorts that comes from the purity of my fingerprints.

The truth- is the ultimate bone and breathe to life.
Without it… we people we, we disadvantage ourselves from all pleasure of life!
If that is the case…like Lazarus in the bible,
All people who were born from their deathdays
Are living a life of regret and wishes!
Then- what would you say
To the people…born from their birthdays
To live and living a life of regret and wishes?

“Dead man walking” How would you know- how would you tell?
Then-who has life? And what has he done with it?

Isralites were God’s people…
What is it that they did to help humanity to be close to the creator?
Or it is a game of individuality and secrecy?
Then- will the prophets of truth lie…especially in the times of Ebola?

I do not know the rest…but I wish the best!
For me…I will live,
Not among the dead to be dead
But to resurrect the dead
And live more and more life and lives to come!

What pain does a candle get from candling 7 billion candles?
Are we not the light of this life?
Don’t forget to lighten the next light…
And live in paths full of bright lights…
Like the story- God’s paths are full of lights and life!

So…
Whose short is it anyway?
That brought this revelation…
That brought this destiny full of light?
I believe, they all have their own shorts
But, they can’t resist their love towards this short.

What would you do- if you were too short to wear a short?
Or- if you were too long to wear a short?
I guess, it is the same with life…
Always be alert and ready…
To receive all blessings, that this has created for you!
Not being alert…
You will become too short
 Or you will become too tall
For this short!!!
