Cows currently speak, whatever language they speak that we don’t understand, but soon they’ll speak Xhosa. We will all understand what they say, not just moo, moo, moo all the time. We will hear them talk, whatever they’ll be saying will be clear to us all. Even when they whisper in the middle of the night, we will hear that too. We will listen to them telling jokes, probably laughing too.

We think they like us when we treat them well, but we will understand their motives, how they feel about us when we eat their meat, when we take all the milk and leave a little for their calves. But I hope they don’t say “you killed my father, now I’m gonna kill you too” in a Chinese accent. I hope they don’t hate us when we go around wearing all sorts of things made of their skin.

Hoses make noise, only they understand what it means. You can’t tell when they neigh whether they are laughing or crying because it’s all the same. They neigh when they play, when searching for other horses, even when they fight, it’s still the same noise we don’t understand

Donkeys, they too make a terrible noise, you can’t tell whether they are crying or just passing a message. They just shout and shout you wish they could just stop because your ears can’t stand it. But we will soon understand that and in return, they’ll understand us too. All you have to do is live a little longer

There’s nothing good associated with a black cat at night, but we won’t hesitate to cross the street after seeing it, because it will just confess when it’s not innocent. Maybe they’ll finally tell us about how they get it done, tell us about that style we can’t figure out to copy and make it ours like we did to our own dogs

They say the youth of today don’t live pass the age of 35, we have to change that. We have to live to witness what those who lived passed that age, all the way to 75 and more never got to see. Which is an opportunity to watch their dogs communicate in actual words, not just bucking. We have to live to witness them say it back, “you too, sit!!” when we order them to sit down, say “futsek nawe” in actual words

You understand your life better anyone else, nobody can tell you how to look after it, how to keep it safe from any harmful situations, but if it’s not good for you, for your life please distance yourself from it. Stop it right now because you have to live a little longer. Put down that bottle if you think it somehow shortens your life, you have to quit it if it’s not good for you. If it makes your tongue loose in front of those who aren’t scared to put a bullet in your brain, you have to quit it

Hit that gym if you think that will add more days to your life because you don’t want to miss out. You don’t want to miss out the opportunity of having all your concerns cleared up, why sheep model on the road, even when danger is coming, whereas goats sprint as fast as they can. What that chicken says when it screams when you about to slaughter the hell out of it. Does it ask for forgiveness, or it is just cursing you all the way. Maybe it says “I’ll see you in hell”. But if you live long enough, you’ll have all the answers, straight from the horse’s mouth, literally

If he admires guns and bullets, any sharp and dangerous objects, you have to run my sister because you don’t know when he’s going to use them on you. If she ain’t scared to pull you with your shirts, you better find another one while you still walk my brother, they don’t make them good like our mothers these days and we definitely don’t want to sing “amagugu” for you

Do you ever wonder what the lyrics are, in every song those birds that wakes you up with their sweet melodically sounds in the morning, ever wonder how their actual voices sound like, how they pronounce words? Well, wonder no more, because soon you’ll know, all you have to do is live one more day, one more year, one more decade.

Shake that pain, beat that chronic disease, quit that addiction, because you definitely don’t want to miss out to witness it all

You have to live a little longer because I’m tired of these goodbyes that seem to never end. We lose brothers and sisters, we lose friends and enemies, we lose admirers and haters, but you and I have to live a little longer to witness it all.
Flying cars, more black billionaires, a really free world where every man makes it a priority to protect every woman, more white beggars under the bridges in every town, the first 30 year old president who will truly understand the impact petrol price has in our lives, a young and fresh president who will fully represent the youth, the future of the country and actually chase away all the old men who are flooding the parliament before they mess our lives even more.

All you have to do is leave a little longer. If it ain’t good for you, it threatens to shorten your life, even with an inch, quit it. We only live once, take good care of your life

It’s good motives, take it one day at a time because that’s all it is
One day at a time, one day at a time
