They walk like they have ownership of a title deed to a land somewhat untouchable when they are locked up in the boxes of their imaginations derived from gangster movies and music.
The American life style portrayed in a Zimbabwean, African nurtured young boy who knows nothing about life insurance or credit cards. They shy away from the reality of where their lives are.

You need to see how the brothers chase after the car when the traffic light turns green before the transaction is concluded. They are not realizing a profit at all in their baggy jeans by the corner sagging their minds in sacks of laziness.
The truth is it seemingly looks like there is a lot going on but when depth calls in there is nothing at all, just flimsy thoughts manifested because of dreams influenced by the television – nothing original.
They drag their feet to the bottle store and get a days’ work of money spent on one bottle. They made profit but they weren’t looking for profit but aide to support their habits. You are the one that names your progress. They have become content with the routine of failure.

You just grew up and saw Mukoma Jonso selling cellular phones by Ximex mall and got inspired to be that and worse off with the music that has tainted your spirit your level of reasoning has been boxed and your life ushered into a no thinking zone where you view things to the level of your arms length.

You can live a brighter life if only you manage to realise that you are pinned on the shallowness of a self materialistic colonised mind, where you have surrendered your identity for a way of the celebrities on television and in magazines. Deliver yourself from it quick and become someone – well as much as I have written it’s sad most of my boys won’t read, so the mystery will continue sadly!
