Introducing Axo-Mind

Someday soon you will all know who this young artist is. No doubt he's talented. Now I'm giving u a taste of what he is about. Nothing short of perfection but something a little different from his usual stuff. You know what they say. Change is good. And with this piece, I totally agree.

CASSIE

She dressed in all black like an undertaker/
And frankly, I'm taken; this aint no story I made up/

She thick and light/
My heart begins to pound faster; I think she enhances its life/

Illuminated smile; shines brighter than the milky way/
I felt that sweat drip as she walked my way/

At that moment I question myself,"WHO IS SHE?"

I couldn't help it but say hi/
She didn't even waste no time/
"Excuse me handsome,do you have a ride?/
I told her,"nah! My 2 series' working just fine"/
(Giggles)
She winked; came close and whispered something in my ear/
From the smile, you could bet I'm loving what I hear/

587214 twenty/
"Wait girl,is you playing me?"/
She told me,"call the number and tell me if I'm gaming"/

So I hit that dial button/
I see her diggin in her bag looking for something/
She takes it out; its an Iphone and its buzzin/

She shows it to me, and it has my picture and my name/
(How did she get my number and my pic; let alone the name?)
Told me she likes me and it aint even about the fame/

That question hit me again, "WHO IS SHE?"

So we take a lift down to the food court; and I'm thinking, "we already down with each other, do we really need a lift up?"/

We moving to the rhythmas our hearts beat together in line/
We took a seat; eye contact became versatile/

We sat there in silence and let our actions do the talking/
Felt my hand get warmer, only to find out its my hand she's holding/

Couldn't help it but blush/
Beaten at a game of two, like a pair to a royal flush/

She said,"should we grab something to drink or eat?"/
I told her," I'll order something, just sink in your seat"/

So I got up and 10 minutes later I'm back/
Girl's gone but she left her bag pack/

On it there's a note..."You'll find me in the parking lot"/
Rushed; forgetting about the order, and I find one car in the parking spot/

Saw her talking to her girl crew/
Didn't pay much attention to em; I asked myself,"besides driving me crazy, could she be driving this car too?"/

She hollard and asked me to come close/
I stepped up;no introductions, just stood near her, and we asked to pose/
1 2 3 (snap) camera flashing goes/

Friends leave, and she tells me her folks are out of the country/
I said,"so you don't wana be lonely?"/
She said,"yeah, I was hoping you'd come home with me"/

She threw me the keys to her ride and we drove off/
Wanted to hear her heart beat fast so I kept the music off/

MSU West was the destination/
I put that pedal to the metal without hesitating/

For a minute, I heard a voice speak to me, "my son, I've lost one of my angels like a tax haven"/
I looked into her eyes and saw stars; that's when I knew that she from Heaven/

Go to the crib;locked the doors and we up in her room/
Dirty thoughts like two individuals alone in a room should/

Couldn't keep my eyes off her so I maintained my gaze/
Didn't see it coming but she rolling me a blunt of purple haze/

(How'd she know that's my favourite?)

You know what they say..."If she can roll you a blunt, wife her"/
But how do I do that when I don't even know her?"/

So we blowing trees and got high/
And I aint talking about that plane ticket to fly/

So time passes and we kissed/
I don't know why, but they felt like lips I missed/

Heavy breathing; clothes thrown everywhere/
Put that glove on coz I never go into that field without my gear/

So we going crazy on that 4 play; bed's about to crumble/
Everything's wild like Tarzan and Jane making love in the Jungle/

Hours pass and we knocked out/
I'm thinking to myself, "Could this be the right path, coz I'm loving the walk on this route/

Don't know what happened but I felt cold water splash on my face/
Opened my eyes and mum was all up in my face/
(Lol)

"Get up and get ready to chase your dreams"/
"But mum you just ruined one dream I was chasing"/

So I got ready and left the house/
Out to hustle for that master cheese like a mouse/

Same place as in my dream; same time/
I see that girl from my dream and I'm thinking, "could this all be up in my mind?"/

Walked towards her and to my surprise, she was quick to walk to me too/
Before I could even say a word she said, " I had the same dream about you"/

Told me her name was Cassie/
I said to myself,"now I know who this girl is"/
WHO IS SHE??
She the girl of my dreams/

SMiLE

So this morning I'm still in bed and I'm thinking. Of a situation where one is in love with someone who doesn't feel the same about them. No matter how hard you try to please them, they can not be with you. But you watch them as they stay, trying each day to make things work, but nothing seems to help.

You walk around on eggshells and you are both willing victims of an awfully unhappily hurtful situation. If you leave, you will both hurt. And if you stay, you will still hurt. It's a dilemma. And nobody wants to be the one to walk and leave scars behind. You care about each other just to much but....truth be told...YOU ARE MISERABLE.

So you finally make a decision. You see how hard this person is trying to be what you need. And you see how bad it pains their very soul to not be what you want. And as much as it hurts, you have to set them free. Because you love them too much to keep them from finding love and being happy in their lives...I know...it's sad. So I wrote this song. And if you are in this situation, you will be fine. Show the world your SMILE.

SMILE (30 Nov 2013)

I've always been the one to try
To make everything work each time
And I can't hold u here against ur will
I will commit no such crime
I see u're unhappy
And I should loosen my grip
Let u freely chase ur dream
And so....

Sail away and I will stay
Behind as I wave u goodbye for the last time
No matter what I will be okay
I hope u find everything
Ur heart could not find in me and all the laughter that life could bring
...the world will see my smile

Taking all that's left of me
Picking up each lonely piece
I guess we were never meant to be
With all the jars I filled with my tears
I can't stand back and watch as you bleed
I know u tried but can't be what I need
I see u're unhappy
And I should loosen my grip
Let u freely chase ur dream
And so....

Sail away and I will stay
Behind as I wave u goodbye for the last time
No matter what I will be okay
I hope u find everything
Ur heart could not find in me and all the laughter that life could bring
...the world will see my smile

I'm waving u goodbye...for the last time
I promise I'll be fine....I know that I'll find
Everything I couldn't find in you
It's okay baby

Sail away and I will stay
Behind as I wave u goodbye for the last time
No matter what I will be okay
I hope u find everything
Ur heart could not find in me and all the laughter that life could bring
...the world will see my smile

****END****

INNER VOICE

We need friends. Life would sure be lonely without them. Some are fake while some are real. Or so you believe. Thing is nothing is ever as it seems. You never know. Shakespeare explored the whole concept of mistaken identity in a number of his plays and even now in the 21st century we still face the same.

You never come to know someone completely. It does not count if you've known the person for life or if they are your identical twin. They could always say something and mean the complete opposite. When it comes to needing advice, listen, you probably should just suck it up and shut up.

Your very best friend could be dancing to the beat of your troubles and your piece of mind could mean their misery. They could be eyeing what belongs to you and they will stop at nothing till they have it. They will turn your family against you if they have to. In one of my previous posts I said that it's ok to tell someone a secret, that it makes you feel better. True. But the increasing number of fake people is alarming.

You aren't really without an armor. There's hope. You know, that little voice in your head that tells you the difference between right and wrong? Yes, that. Call it instinct, intuition or whatever you want. That, is all you have as a defence mode. Trust it. And whenever you feel that something is not right, no matter how many people blame that feeling on paranoia, you will know. Your inner voice will always be there to guide you. As your only true friend.

Truth : The Missing Factor

Imagine being a witch. All that power. Controlling everything around you. Even time. Freezing that one last minute till you manage to finish your exam. Telepathy and the likes. Vampires. Moving at that speed and possessing that strength. Frozen in time and never having to frown at the sight of a single wrinkle. Imagine.

How many times has each of you seen a fantasy thriller? The Vampire Diaries, perhaps? I for one haven't missed a single episode. There are others too. Twilight. Once Upon A time. The Originals. Grimm. The Avengers.....oh how I would love to be a goddess.

This list is endless and it is composed of what we find entertaining. At times I'm compelled to be on Plato's side. "If literature constitutes nothing from which you can learn, it should be destroyed." Kannete I'm beginning to comprehend why he said that. Look at Avator. That James Cameron movie that broke all records worldwide. Can anyone point out anything they learned from it? All the world did was empty their wallets to go see it. And we constantly do that for the sake of entertainment. I know I do.

And I wonder if anyone ever thought of the children and how exposing them to this will affect them in the long run. It's amazing how I haven't. When I have a 5year old daughter living in the world that revolves around fantasy and totally ignores matters of greater importance. Like global warming. Seeing that the only mark we leave behind is more damage to our planet, would it not be better for us to train the younger generations to care for this world to avoid the possibility of a human apocalypse?

Life is what we make it. True. You can lock yourself up in your house for a lifetime and still have millions of friends. True. Through Facebook and Twitter, we have that advantage. With Photoshop, everyone is beautiful. We have the means to completely re-create the world and make it each one's version of what we want it to be. Our little land of perfection where we are the masters of the universe. And while we indulge in all that, the world as we know it is being damaged because no one dares to face reality. And a few that do, are paid little to no attention.

"Be the change you want to see in the world." How many times have we heard that? But have we ever really done anything about it? Why do we waste time dreaming of a better tomorrow when no one will lift a finger to make any positive change?

I don't remember who said this words but I'll share them with you, "You want to change the world, start with the man in the mirror."

Metro

I have friends and acquaintances who personally wouldn't date a guy who minds his looks. All they say is "As long as he's clean, that's all that matters." Hahaha. I can't see not one thing wrong with guys who actually go an extra mile for their looks.

I'd find it awesome if I opened his toilet-bag and found Nivea-for-Men products. Not just Nivea, other brands too. Even Pond's is an awesome brand. Not that man that goes, "No, I'm a man and real men don't do that homo stuff." Like seriously! As your women, we go extra miles to look good. True, you never asked us to but would you like 'Matjale for a girlfriend? No.

So would it really be impossible for you to care about your looks? And no, I'm not saying you should be looking in a mirror every two seconds. That, would be worrying. Smelling like Paco, Gucci or whatever you guys use, it's such a turn on for us. And yes your face matters as well. Taba Li Mahlong anyway. Personal hygiene is a great deal to you. So is it to us. I don't care hore na u Lepantsula or le Hippie or Lejamane.

Long as you take your time to look your best, your lifestyle ain't got to be your excuse. You smoke weed, fine! Just don't come to me all reeking of it. Same goes for cigarettes. All we want is a man who cares for his appearance. Same as you men. Ain't nothing wrong with MetroSexuals and if you think there is, you are a homophobic living thing.

Go metro and watch your woman love you more. Yes, it's a proven technique.

Family Guy

So this morning I had a talk with one particular woman. She seems to be in trouble. And her troublesome situation is without doubt one that millions of women face around the globe. I've been there before as well. I can relate.

Men. Good Lord! They go on and on about how complicated women are but somehow they forget about the guy in the mirror. I'll tell you a fact. To a woman, t's totally adorable when a man loves his family and respects his mom...but,(oh yes there's always a catch) there's nothing as disturbing as a guy who goes on and on about his mom. His sister. His lil brother. Telling us how important they are to you and how much you care about them and how you would die for them is TOO MUCH.

We are not stupid. And naturally, we get that you are bound to care for your family. That's the God-assigned job for you as a man. But if you bring the "importance" of your family in every conversation you have with your woman, all you're doing is making her feel that she's not a part of it. Like she's an outsider looking in. Like she doesn't fit in in your life. She'll feel unimportant to the person she holds dear in her heart.

Those are not the feelings you want to drag "the person you love" through. They are brutal and corrosive and damaging to a woman's self-esteem. We want to know that we too, are important to you and that you would die for us. We need to feel so. Forget gender equality, we are a jealous species and if you make us feel like we're competing with someone, it will get ugly. Even if it's your mother. Especially your mother. Let alone your pretty cousins.

For a while I thought it would get better. But it didn't. Then I realised, the best way was the way out. So I walked. And felt better about myself and self-esteem sky-rocketted. It's simple really, women also have families. Some of us are the bread-winners. And we love ours just as you do yours. But we do not find it necessary to throw it in your face at any given moment. Because we want you as our men to know that we need you just as much in our lives. If not more.
