Lord’s will
Its me you hate i heard so.
Then me you killed not my soul’
With a sword my head you cut.
You left vultures chopping me but
I’m alive my spirit forever endures.
Its not over my spirit ensures.
Though i am buried my copse is over
But upon yourself my spirit hover.
It griefs me that you can’t escape,
Because my palms you stay and step,
But i loved you thats so strange,
Your offsprings suffers if revange.
So do mine since my life you did steal
So let be done thy lord’s will.
Can you write?
As soon as my first book hit the market, I started receiving e-mail messages, phone calls and short messages on my mobile phone from people from various places and backgrounds. Some just wanted to congratulate me. Some wanted advice. It would have helped me a lot if I had received messages from critics as well, but it seems critics have decided to keep their opinions to themselves.
It is true that critics, especially those who are strangers, can give very useful comments about anything because they have nothing to lose by calling a spade a spade. They can easily say, “This is a whole lot of trash!” Read more
The ever changing history of Zimbabwean Gospel music
All through its ever changing and transforming history, Gospel music is believed to have been directly derived from African Americans, who claim Gospel music as their own. It is believed to have sprung from the early African-American church and its origins attributed to the social changes that were taking place in the country at that time. Many blacks from the south were starting to other areas of the US and bringing with them their form of Gospel music, which was a form of expression for them.
From its origins, Gospel music was always met with challenges and today it is no different. Many older members of mainly mainline traditional churches think that the Gospel music of today is too wordly for comfort, whereas the younger members of the church think that older members of the church just don’t understand. But no matter what, it seems evident that the modern day Gospel music experience in Zimbabwe is here to stay. Read more
The Zezuru: mixing religion and business
By Sylvester Wapitso for Mmegi
Most customers prefer to buy on credit. Some pay. Others run away before settling the outstanding debt. Nonetheless, we survive.

Pieces of metal sheets are scattered all over. Gracious Tatangira’s head is clean-shaven and he sports a beard. Read more
Has Google become God?
www.thechurhofgoogle.org claims that Google is God. Here is the proof they give. I’d really like to hear your thoughts on this:
PROOF 1
Google is the closest thing to an Omniscient (all-knowing) entity in existence, which can be scientifically verified. She indexes over 9.5 billion WebPages, which is more than any other search engine on the web today. Not only is Google the closest known entity to being Omniscient, but She also sorts through this vast amount of knowledge using Her patented PageRank technology, organizing said data and making it easily accessible to us mere mortals.

Sex, sexuality and religion: Finding a middle path
Since time immemorial, sex and religion have always had a difficult relationship with each one seeking to free itself from the other.
Religions play a fundamental role in defining the attitudes of society and governments to matters of reproduction and sexuality. The influence of religion in individual decision-making on sex-related issues is beyond doubt, even among self-declared anti-religion activists. Read more
