BRUSIED SOULS - written by Phatsimo Mabaila

By -


I keep telling myself I can do better
Feel better
But... I still seem to be suffocating in this city
But is it really the city squeezing the little life I seem to have left from me? 
Or is it just maybe this life thing was never my thing

I smile and laugh as hard as I can
That’s the only way to drown out the sorrow that’s screaming from my soul 
I needed peace
I carved silence

But I always put on hold
My cries and pleads were just another voicemail message on God’s phone 
So I took a blade and made love to my wrist
The feeling was surreal
I could feel my pain just ooze out
And I wasn’t numb anymore

Few one night stands with blade
Turned into a violent relationship that lost spark 
I don’t feel the love it gave me anymore
I don’t feel the connection, we’ve lost touch
Its not enough to drown out the dark anymore
I guess now I need something more permanent to silence the demons in my head 

 But...
But I still wanna see another sunset
So is it safe to ask for help?
Will you help me?
Please...
Save me

Designed by: Cyc Jouzy Click on this link  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Svsy2reVIFc  to check out Vee's hit single 'Dumalana' visuals calculated by the very gifted Jack Botlhoko, currently on 1.4 million views on YouTube! The 36 year old Kwaito Star has raised the bar and moved the needle forward as far as YouTube viewership in Botswana is concerned.  Are we celebrating this as a historical moment in Botswana's entertainment product consumption or we are still being skeptical over how the video got to a million views in less than 5 months?

BOTSWANA HOSTS THE "N W Y C 2 0 1 7" #ReABaTsaa The moment of truth is upon us. With 1 day left to kick-start what happens to be the first of its kind, we have seen the levels excitement rise beyond expectations. It is such an honor that the Netball World Youth Cup 2017, will be hosted here in Gaborone (University of Botswana Sports Complex), Botswana. This came from a draw that was endorsed by the International Netball Federation last year November. July 8th being the premier date, the Sports Complex is expected to be filled to its capacity with patriots and people who enjoy Netball.   The Netball World Youth Cup sees a participation of 20 fierce teams all over the world; America, Australia, UK and many other countries. Botswana happens to be in Pool C and will go toe to toe with Malaysia on the 8th July @2000hrs. Our ladies find themselves under immense pressure from being the centre of attention as the hosting country. Expectations for the Botswana team to outpe

BLOOMING OBLIVION ( A Thought Piece)

They Do Say "The Autumn Leaves That Never Asked To Fall, Find A Home In The Winds Of Change." The Objective Verity Of This Statement I Cannot Affirm Without Sullying My Solemnity. I Could Never Dare To Be That Much Imbued In Dare-Devilish Ways, Nor Reveries Natured Such. However, I Cannot Help But Wonder, Mind Muddily Befuddled, About The Cravings Of The Spring Flower. Did The Stalked Beau Ever Ask For The Beauty Of Bloom To Be Sprung About It? Could It Ever Ask For Such A Horrendous Gift? To Bloom And Be The Rug Of A Duty Charged Working Class Bee? To Bloom And Be The Purveyor Of Pollen It Never Gets To Revel Nor Relish In? Or Else Otherwise And Alternatively, To Bloom Hermaphrodite In Morphe, Only To Find Sanctuary Within The Contraption That Is A Nay-Sayer's Structured Sentence? Strung Words Whose Context Is Rigged Rigorously In A Royale Swearer's Regalia, Painted The Blossomed 'Selfish Usurper Of Own Inspiration To The World? An Ugly-Hogging-Hog Of All That&#
