Only One knows Where I get this courage To smile in the worst of days And be gratified with the least of bread In an age that has lost all trust in us The genuine smiles being only diplomatic With barbed strings attached to generosity Only turning you and I more skeptical Somewhere in the hearts of men Still lies benevolence As homo sapiens, Filling our emptiness with camaraderie Is one subtle essential often ignored So take the first step Be the reason behind another's smile Shut out all the pessimism Give selflessly The world will have every reason to giveback. عبدالجبار  Kampala 18/10/23

I am trying to live a full life again Though it all seems like yesterday If memories could only be written in pencil, My brain's wrinkles would be lesser. As erasing would no longer be much of a pain I am still learning how to look within  To find my gem amongst the rocks. Seems further everytime I reach out Feels heavier everytime I reach it. Throwing me into a merry-go-round of déja Vus My arms are still wrapped around consistency though. I am starting to see things inside out Or rather, upside down, whatever! I will get me a rose flower tonight To give more thought to the beauty... ...of the thorns on the stem from which she stood out. 'cause her charming petals may not really last.

Before you step out this day Take caution You're gonna see a lot of ways That claim to be the solution Yet only swaying you away Take caution Everyone else is thinking their own way Yet the world is as well filled with notions  Claiming 'wisdom' so you have neither say Nor freedom to take the right decision As you return from your day Know that this world hasn't the ultimate satisfaction Something way better awaits So let it be only a contribution To your best life after the end of days. As you let this sink Consider quitting the rat race Or just dont let it be The only race you ever ran.. ..for there is one better That you could actually  win. The choice is yours though, Jabbar

Life is a broad spectrum of things, experiences, people, places, and much more. From this, we get a chance to learn timeless lessons that are truly priceless. Most of the older generation tends to have seen a lot more than the younger one often times, making them a primary source of all these beautiful lessons. However, there are but a few key areas that at least every individual's life rotates around. No matter the generation, the importance of knowledge, good bodily health, and cleansed souls cannot be ignored at any one point. Though most of us realize this a bit late, so what is the least we can do?  Convenience is all we've ever sought ever since the invention of the wheel. We are an intelligent species, solving everything that seems like a problem in our eyes. Even when the solution is a greater problem. With the emergence of companies Jumia and the like, you might not leave your seat to buy the smallest item. Even your nearest Duuka gives free del...

As I read, so I shall write. The written word has indeed thrived over the centuries. An art that gave the few who harnessed it ranks over men of their nations, from Socrates, to Shakespeare to J.K Rowling, the list is endless. This is indeed one of the most reliable mediums our forefathers have been able to communicate with us. Giving you the feeling of the presence in their past, long gone moments. What other conceivable way have we to make use of that is suitable,...for every edge?  This brings us to this part for as I listen, I shall grasp . Call it oral culture. To date, some societies have clung to this and have nevertheless thrived equally, or even profoundly more than others. Word for word, books like the Quran have been passed down over to generations through a period of more than 1400 years. Earlier, the process of memorizing involved off-head recitation, then later encoded and compiled into the text from which most Muslims of today now pick it. This is one b...

A heavy head from an active Friday night is all you have left. Forgetting your worries and living your fantasies was your reason. Now here you still are, sober enough to remember your bills, your landlord's share from your monthly peanuts and ofcourse, the little one's welfare. You meant to create joy and happiness from it only to end up with bad breath, a terribly intoxicated body and suspicion getting you craving for as many more pills in the name of security and prevention. It must be crazy out there. I know. It is crazy out there. In every hundred of us, the majority continues to contain this same syndrome. Working like a horse from Monday through the week to Friday, where the party gets started. And then there comes the weekend getting you to sleep like a koala in your would have been most useful time. Hold it. Now Hold it a bit. Take a deep breath and then you can read on. I got some bitter truths about you on the low you might wanna ponder on. Don't wo...

LITTLE ADVENTURE. IMG_2126.JPG Jabar Yunus. Acknowledgement. You- thank you for looking at this, keep going. You’ll like it I promise. Aunty Edine - you’ve got the eye Jabar. Thanks a lot for making me realize the beauty of photography. Mom- You bought a house near the longest river in the world. U made this adventure possible. Myself- I thank myself for having an open mind. This kept me going. Chapter One. The only chapter ’what a view!’ I thought. I wished u could reach it. That morning I had left home assuring Etteby of bow I could come back with fish no matter what. ’It’s just a matter of talking to the fishermen nicely, and they would let me hook out at least one fish from the waters, ’ I said to her. ’Good luck, ’ she said in a doubtful voice. ’Thanks’ I said as I left. Molex resort wasn't from home. It was just by the river side. A friend of mine worked there. The place had nice paintings around it.
