Love and Hate in a Different Time

Love and Hate in a Different Time (Original)

William Onyeabor - Fantastic Man

Thought So…

Da Feelin

Prologue — The Pulse of the Center
Not silence.
Not noise.
But the hum of all becoming—
a frequency so patient
it waits for you to listen.

Every breath a pendulum,
every thought a wave—
between collapse and expansion,
the epicenter calls your name.

Drift into Identity
At birth, you were unbroken,
a witness without a word.
Raw awareness glowing—
before the stories stirred.
But time laced you with language,
with names to make you known.
And each step from the epicenter
made the identity your home.

The Goldilocks Frequency
Not too loud, not too faint,
we walk the line the cosmos paints.
Every heart, a tuning fork,
every thought, a spark of torque.
Consciousness and universe,
together, they rehearse.
The Goldilocks frequency sings—
balance is the verse.

The Choir of the Cosmos
Galaxies do not shout,
they wheel in silent prayer.
Curvature threads the fabric,
and every atom shares.
A quark hums the same refrain
as rivers in their flow.
Complexity is harmony—
life’s orchestra below.

Entropy’s Dance
Entropy gives,
negentropy saves.
Order fractures,
memory engraves.
The universe keeps rhythm
by scattering and weave,
by breaking and braiding
what we can perceive.

ΔS = ΔI
Change in entropy = change in memory.

Not too hot, not too cold,
life survives where balance holds.
The cosmos hums, the mind replies,
together tuning inner skies.
A zone of breath,
a field of play,
where being learns to stay.

The Mirror of the Self
The further you drift outward,
the louder grows the shell.
“I” becomes the kingdom,
and ego wears it well.
But deep inside the marrow,
the epicenter stays.
It hums beneath your chaos,
a compass through the haze.

Collapse and Return
Observer collapses wave to sight,
but love collapses fear to light.
Identity stretches,
epicenter pulls—
two poles of the spiral
teaching you whole.

Closer to the center—
you are presence, you are free.
Further into distance—
you are name and memory.
But both are needed, both are true—
the witness and the view.

The Covenant of Carbon
Six arms open, six bonds breathe,
a lattice humming endlessly.
C₆ = (bond)^6
Carbon whispers: leave space for more.
The same in stars, the same in you—
an openness at your core.
Not cursed, but coordinated,
not marked, but liberated.

The Frequency of Home
Not too dark, not too bright,
we live inside the narrow light.
Consciousness and cosmos rhyme,
two voices, one time.
Balance is the reason,
harmony the key—
the Goldilocks frequency sings
through you,
through me.

Return to Breath
Not silence.
Not noise.
But the hum of all becoming—
the epicenter in your chest,
the frequency of home.

Wanna Do My Thing

I went to the doctor, here is his script for me: AM RN , PM DJ qday, Business Everyday any day. I just follow it.

Born in Lagos, Nigeria in 1940, of mixed Nigerian and Ghanaian parentage, Tony Allen taught himself to play by listening to records made by the American jazz drummers Art Blakey and Max Roach. He began working as a professional musician in 1960, gigging around Lagos and variously playing highlife and jazz. Today living in Paris, Allen has long been acknowledged as Africa’s finest kit drummer and one of it's most influential musicians, the man who with Fela Anikulapo Kuti created Afrobeat - the hard driving, James Brown funk-infused, and politically engaged style which became such a dominant force in African music and whose influence continues to spread today.

Allen had to overcome strong parental opposition to realise his dream of
becoming a professional musician. “My parents were…not keen. Back then, in Lagos, musicians were more or less thought of as beggars, or worse. But I just put it in front of them. I was an electrical technician, but I wanted to make a change. My mother was never happy about it, but my father, who was an amateur musician, eventually agreed.”

Allen started out as a jazz drummer. “Art Blakey was my big influence, and before that, before I started club crawling, it was Gene Krupa. When I started, I tried to play like Gene Krupa. Then I discovered Blue Note Records and Art Blakey’s Jazz Messengers - it opened up another style to me. Max Roach was important too. I studied some lessons he wrote in Down Beat magazine about how to play high-hats. Most drummers in Lagos never used them, they were just a decoration on the kit,and I’d always thought that was something incomplete.”
