From Blackout to Sunshine.
Apr 30, 2019
Story
Blackout attacked my community like pests
My future in darkness, companionship ruined.
My heart, a hole of bitterness and rage,
Sweating in dark pain
The Berlin blockade can’t measure up
To the solid fence this dark age had built against my job
Journalists spread salty spittle on mics
Talking of my excruciating pain,
Opportunities and possibilities
Passed by in mini-skirts
Spreading mocking heaps on me
No amount of CFA frs could put smile on my face
The fibers distant me from connection
And gave a blind view to communication
Blurring links with collaborators.
I laid my devastating story on my lips
Pushing hard word strings to open new doors
New rooms published my dark experience
Scattered sounds from phones littered my house
Striving to stitch my mouth in filth
Oh! A door was flung widely open
I jumped in, a garment of appointment on me,
Fame and visibility on my sleeves,
Entangled with like-minded people
Who lit the touch on my way
Scaring all shadows away,
In darkness, I saw light
Oh! I sing with digital notes to my people,
Giving them hope with my melodious story
Let them see how strong I've become
In activism
My resilience is strengthened
My voice is bolder and more influential
With sunshine in my face
As one the Digital Rights Advocate in the World.
