Godin Defence: Why can't everything just stay the same?

-



Life promised so much but little favour came my way.
And over this vista of nothingness I claimed what is mine.
I waited for all of the promises and yet none did come.
Others more fortunate gained splendor, but splendor was not me.
And I gained self respect on other's misfortune.
But your misfortune is not of my concern.
Count your blessings and rot in your tragedy.
Yes it will end in tears should you trespass my den.

I do not travel,  my miracle is here.
I remained close to my heritage.
This colonial might.
This is God's country, he gave it to me.
I will deny you entry.
You are contagion, you are far less than me.

There are trees in my backyard, insects and lizards.
Rodents scamper at my feet and bats by my ears.
My dog is obedient.
In silence we sit.
Impatient and anxious , I do not want change.
In dark moments I tend to my spite.
With bottle in hand I seek like-minded.

A good  man I have been.
I have done no wrong.
My house is clean.
My garden is tendered.
My lawn is mowed.
My animals are fed.
My hatred is strong.

This is my patch, it's where I belong.
This is my home, you are not welcome.
This is my country and I trust no other.
Why can't everything just stay the same?

Godin Connectedness

Godin Connectedness  We argued with the vengeance from poorly informed memory. Straight from the loss to blame. For whatever reason it perpetuated justification. Of construeded loss,  from the need to self victimise. To the need of claiming nothing in particular. It was the battle to ingrain and embellish memory. In so, we tore each other apart and to feed individual right. Our eternal want to be known as right. The want for immediate anger to surface, rant and to glorify our past glories of being wronged. And then we rested exhausted.

Path of the Dragon

  As the sun rose in the morning, I took a peaceful walk along a winding path in my tropical garden. The air was filled with the distant calls of birds, creating a natural symphony. The path was lined with lush plants and flowering shrubs, inviting me deeper into this enchanting world, where every step felt like an adventure into the unknown. Suddenly, my peaceful walk was interrupted by a gigantic Komodo dragon. The dragon was basking in the sun right on my path. Its scaly skin shone in the sunlight, and its sharp eyes watched me intently. Although the dragon didn't seem to care about my presence, I couldn't continue my journey. This exciting and humbling encounter reminded me of long-lost memories of raw beauty and unpredictability.
