: About Me

Hi,
My homeland is a place called Sierra Leone, that's in West Africa .I was born there some 47 years ago. Since then I've lived in England,Belgium, Guinea-Conakry, Mali, Ivory Coast, Liberia, Ghana, Burkina Faso and am currently in Dakar, Senegal with my wife and two children. I would love to travel more extensively but...
I have a love of writing poetry, reading (poetry & novels), playing scrabble, watching good movies, listening to the radio and debating.
I am addicted to free thought and therefore am a defender of human rights! Yours, mine and that little demoralized hungry looking kid that could've been me included.
There's more to come at a later date...

My passion is ...

understanding

I know too much about ...

nothing

My parents always told me ...

I resembled both of them...

My childhood ambition ...

to be 'superman', 'spiderman' & 'daredevil' all rolled in one...!

My favorite memory ...

going downhill on a scooter without knowing where the brakes were

Why I write ...

to record my joys & sorrows of being witness to God's Creativity & man's destructive drive

What I am reading/watching/listening to ...

anything that's good & has some panache

My first job ...

believe it or not, an apprentice brewer

My best moment ...

always knowing that I can do better through faith

My inspiration ...

If God didn't have use of me I wouldn't be here

The Aquarius of three The first of children three an Aquarius born was he true to nature of spirit: wild and free soldier of fortune: die for no cause would he And when his mother in consternation squirms at the audacious brilliance he affirms ignorant to the consequences of such terms Aquarius he remains and confirms Whether by love of siblings, spouse or other the fluctuating intensities could never smother his Aquarius appeal to dear mother and hurt her though he must: she'd have no other The Aquarius of three!
