Free Spirit

Having made peace with the fact that I am not a career person, nor am I a corporate type, I can freely jostle for the journey towards my self discovery in writing.

I have been writing for a few months now, with most of my work focused on poetry. I would like to think that I write Sesotho poetry, for it is through poetry that I am able express myself. It is through poetry that I can capture the past, reflect on today and imagine the future.

Strangely enough, I also find myself constantly writing English poetry! This I attribute more to circumstances than a conscious decision.

Most of my opinion pieces are written in English, probably because I am disappointed at how black people respond to the word written in indegenous languages. I have come to appreciate that even though the majority of the people who visit my sites are black, many of them are seriously challenged in their mother tongue languages. Although I do not want to speculate on the reasons for this, this compels me to focus my writings in English.

I have recently started using Facebook, and all my articles are written in English.

My thoughts and views are largely on history, heritage and politics. I believe history strongly influences our present lives and possibly our future.

It is in this spirit that I can finally say I Am Free.
