The Heart of Man
The heart of man is bitter and dark, full of lies and deceit. Details, pay attention to the little things, something as little as an unnecessary lie. This would save you from a lot of bullshit. Things get cold, and relationships get sour. The truth is that people lie, steal and betray each other. And betrayal... It does not come from your enemies. I always valued being honest above everything else, and being straightforward would save one from the excuse of telling stupid lies and being a shitty person. Even as a kid I detested having to lie, Kaz avoided having to make me lie for him whenever he got into trouble too, he just knew it was not in my nature. Instead I would prefer to keep my mouth shut and not say anything, this got me into a lot of trouble too, mother would whoop my buttocks for not telling on Kaz, she knew I could have, but I never would, even when Kaz himself would give me the go ahead to tell on him. Just as the prophet Muhammad said, "if you do not have something g

Street Diaries Falling Deeper.
After the attack I initiated the search for the perpetrators but came up with nothing. The helplessness, the reminder that I still could get hurt and not be able to do anything about it. Uncle Kasali offered to help in the hunt but even he came up with nothing. So, after a couple of months I went to the Kabal. Yeah, I was that desperate to get Shurrah's killers. I had searched the streets and the killers were definitely not from any gang in the city, something felt off and the Kabal was the only ones I could turn to, I knew that I would probably regret the day I made that decision but I was hurting... Hell, I still do.I sought for their help and kept asking for about two months before they even gave me an audience.

Street Diaries End of the Line.
Everything ends eventually, even our lives. It makes you wonder what it is all for, all the struggles and hustles...all the suffering and falling and rising. All the achievements and successes. What sense does it all make if one day whether we like it or not we meet our ends and slowly get relegated to meer stories.

But after telling him who was actually the cause of her death, he became skeptical about his stance on how to move forward from there. Even worse when I told him how I got the information, he flared up. "What the hell have you done!"he shouted. "I had no choice, brother! I
Street Diaries In A Freezing Cold Town (Chuks's POV)
London was cold as fuck, I missed everything about home, and the feeling that I had abandoned my brother was killing me. In London I was immediately met by Amin and his crew, they were contacted by Kunle and they were to take care of us Mike, and I while we stayed in London. The DSS and other agencies vowed to leave no stone unturned until they find the killers of their agent Marx and bring them to justice, but that promise was just as empty as many that came before them. I killed that motherfucker and they never caught me, what they did when they could not catch real perpetrators of a crime was to catch the next persons they could get and pin the crime on them. It was not even a surprise when the killers of agent Marx were paraded on national television. They would have been some street thugs or some innocent travelers or someone sitting in front of his house, or someone or people the agents or the agency had problems with. It also could have been political rivals and any
Street Diaries Moving Between Fences.
Fences... In London I discovered that there were unseen fences, unseen by the ordinary people who went about their lives without knowing of these constant shifting fences as they expand and abrogate. The territories of the gangs were referred to as fences and the worst thing you could do was to get caught on the wrong side of it.Leaving the restaurant, I told Mickey to take me to Amin. He drove for a while, and that was one thing I never got tired of, a drive around in London. It was the only time that I could listen to myself think, the house was always too quiet when Micheal was not home, and that was basically all the time. Micheal wasted no time before getting involved with a white girl and he was always with her. Amin's spot was a laundry house, the place was beside a car wash which he also owned. Half the people walking around the neighborhood were either his soldier or informants. "This guy is doing well out here," I thought to myself as Mickey pulled the car ov
Street Diaries Ghetto Stories for a London Sunset.

Those days were boring as hell until I started relating with one of the nurses, her name was Sharon, she was a really beautiful girl and understood sign language, the conversations we had was just magnificent. Finally, I had something to look forward to when I woke up in the morning, like that, the days rolled into one another as I awaited my revenge.Mickey's mother came to see him once, I could not really get most of what they discussed in their thick British accent but I could understand her anger, she was particularly angry with me for getting her son into trouble. I could not blame her, she actually reminded me of my own mother, fierce and compassionate. I thought about my mother in the evenings as I watched the sunset with Sharon after Mickey's mom visited, I told her about how she had to fight for our survival all on her own when our
Street Diaries We found Love in these Trenches.
I guess there is a woman for every man...even the worst of men, ones as lost as me. Sharon showed the kind of interest in me that no woman except my mother had ever shown me before... She cared and carefully watched me as I signed to her, she always had this genuine smile when we were together. I could really have deep, meaningful conversations with her, and at first, I thought she was just doing her job but before long, I started expecting her visits with a kind of eagerness and a smile on my face too. I spent the time of the days before she walked through the door thinking about her and even that was fulfilling enough. I struggled with this feeling...it was so strange to me and no matter how much I tried to suppress it, I just could not. "Is this what they call love?" I thought. I was for the first time seeing a whole side of life I never thought I could even reach, a side of life I never had an interest in reaching. For me, life was all about survival, it was at this moment that I

The very thing we run from catches up with us by the second, with every breath taken we get closer to the last.I went back to Amin's place that night, and we all did... It was a nice place too, a kind of a palace, to be honest, filled with girls, booze, and everything else. They were throwing a welcome back party for me even though I didn't know most of the people there. As I walked through the screaming crowd, the lights occasionally blinded me, the alcohol mixed with the disturbances and I was beginning to get irritated by it all. I suddenly felt a hand grab me from the back, "Hello there, boss," he said in his squeaky voice. My face met his, and I unconsciously let out a smile. Micky...he looked better than the last time I saw him, he was having fun too, and that filled me with a kind o
