the 'truth'

I've recently had to grapple with the issue of of what "the truth" really is! With regards to faith, I mean...spirituality...religion...what have you. Mind you, I consider myself quite spiritual, if the word means what I think it does: spir-it-ual adj., noun 1 connected with the human spirit, rather than the body or physical things!

In the past, I was a devoted, never-wavering, almost obsessive jesus freak...the obviously wrong path, because it didn't last (but that's another issue on its own). I'm an infamous control freak...the kind you stumble upon often; it's not a rare trait. Point is, my obsessive compulsivity will not let me have FAITH, in that sense! I see most things at face value now, no illusions. What you see if mos def what you get! And "the truth" for me is that ultimately there is NONE! Acknowledging that H.I.M is the way, for the elected many, is more of a choice than a truth..."the truth"! In that manner, spirituality and religion (arguably 2 separate issues) are undoubtedly subjective, wouldn't you agree? Otherwise those who faulter wouldn't have to wait to die to know it.

A rasta buddy of mine says: "ultimately, there is only one truth, the battle is in owning the truth, accepting the truth, and living by the truth"...then goes on to say: " people see truths differently, but a is not b and b is not a"! WORD!

Leon-the-Lion's Successor

The arguments surrounding succession? Purely based on attracting 'Black voters'! Tony Leon has finally announced his desire to step down as the leader of the tired, white-minority-serving 'democratic' alliance (DA), and stated in no uncertain terms that it is clear to him that the DA has previously been bashed for 'neglecting' black issues and promoting white interests. And if you perhaps follow my line of thinking, you'd overstand why i'm puzzled by the 'sudden' need to appeal to the blacks! Is this not, in it's own right, an admission of defeat...undeniable loss of controlling power? Was the plan initially NOT to get things straightened out, for THEM (forget the different parties: NNP, DA etc) to reclaim their throne? "nigga" please!

Step up on the frontline

Give me a break! All these white ass people sit on their white asses and expect something coloured to change things around; we raise their white ass bambinos, cut white-green grsss and let's all be happy because Mandela called for it? BS it is!

Wiseman Magasela has published an interesting piece of work on www.kush.co.za entitled 'The invisible professionals'. This referring abviously to our beloved BEE's or AA and EE candidates...oh that's definately me!, us all.

The aim, and unfortunate result?

"If you are black, you are never good enough. Powerful but subtle and insidious currents incessantly work at undermining you, pinning you down, 'where you belong'. Everyday becomes a struggle as those around you, the privileged, aim to limit your space, deny you opportunities and render you incapable and sterile", is what he firmly states.

The biggest apartheid bitch, the well-hated, but 'care-free' imp has finally entered his kingdom of burning faya, and 20 years or so on, following his infamous Rubicon speach to his cabinet, this thing has enjoyed the privilage of living to 90 years of age! Why didn't anyone take him out? He has previously (most likely to his death), unremittingly undermined the black people of South Africa (and the African diaspora), preached their worthlessness, dim-wittedness, and plain ignorance, and this devil has been living?!

Long live Azania!
