Upon the stage of societal scrutiny,
Unveiled, uniformity stands, stark and bold,
Under the gaze of conformity’s decree,
Unraveling stories never fully told.

Unruly threads weave tales of identity,
Patched with dreams that yearn to break free,
Pledged to a pattern, yet yearning for clarity,
Pursuing paths beyond what eyes can see.

Power resides in the threads we wear,
Precious symbols of our chosen role,
Pinning down the spirit we dare to bear,
Painting portraits of our heart and soul.

Unraveled in threads of diversity,
Paving paths where differences unite,
Plunging into the depths of adversity,
Pushing boundaries with relentless might.

Unveiling uniforms, a paradox of unity,
Piercing through layers of prejudice and fear,
Prompting reflection on individual impunity,
Propelling us forward, ever sincere.

So, what does your uniform say today?
Provoking thoughts as we face the mirror,
Pondering the power we wield, come what may,
Promising a future where acceptance grows clearer.

In the symphony of styles, let us play,
Pioneering change with each thread we wear,
Painting our world in hues of grace and sway,
Proclaiming our truth with unwavering flair.

Why does the fabric dictate our worth?

Pearls and silks, does it define our birth?

Can threads and patterns measure our souls?

Does our essence shine via this role?

 

Perplexed by the guise we’re told to wear,

Painting ourselves in societal glare,

Pondering the symbols we adorn,

Pledging allegiance to norms long worn.

Does our essence shine via this role?

 

Prisoners of  labels woven so tight,

Pristine facades concealing truths from sight,

Pursuing perfection in every pleat,

Patching our hearts with every defeat

Does our essence shine via this role?

 

Poised in a gown, a persona we play,

Pretending contentment day after day,

Palaces lie, whispers of grace,

Peeling away layers,

Shedding the guise,

Pursuing the truth behind our eyes.

Does our essence shine via this role?

 

Paradoxical dance of satin and lace,

Pilgrims of fashion, a relentless chase,

Pioneers of style, with aspirations to pursue,

Paradoxes of self, ever in view.

Does our essence shine via this role?

 

The Ten Times Ten Times Ten Rule:

From ten metres away, your walking style and presentation speak before you.

Ten inches away: your body’s language, your aura speak more louder than you.

Your first ten words either awe people or repel people from you, your products or services.

I wish we listen and judge the heart.

 

The Charismatic Power: personality births, heralds and ushers it. It cannot replace the bald, cogent, glib, indelible, inexorable, smudges veneer void and water-tigh truth. Smiles, head and shoulders ramrod straight postures, warm feelings, aura and the omph in intrepidity are sources of the charismatic power.

 

The Christmas’ Power: gifts. Regrettably: individuals purchase what they do not need in order to awe people who do not know by the money that they do not have. This is what we call boondoggle.

The Coercive Power: fear. Failure to comply births punishment. Employment of : sacking, physical, social, psychological, spiritual withdrawals and threats; arsenal; economic sabotage and censorships are sources of the coercive power.

 

The Competence Power: abilities, capabilities, gifts, influence, talents, temple, territories, time and treasures birth the competence power. Raw power is good, however not good if it alienates or fails to empower power.

 

The Connection Power: from where does he/she stem from?Who invited you to this interview/recruitment?Is HE not the Son of the carpenter?Who do you know?Not what do you possess?Not what can you do? It becomes design defects mentally, physically, socially and spiritually. It becomes the main and major success’ conduit. Sexually Transmitted Grades are also residents and tenants of the Connection Power.

 

The Wardrobe’s Ps:

(I). Parallel: one’s worn attires should complement one’s fervour and personality.

(II). Personal: the one who wears certain attires should possess them. Accept your level of living and wear only what you can afford comfortably. You might wear sombre attires in an ecstatic and exuberant.

The heart is more closer to the pocket than the mind is. Emotions are wonderful servants, but poor leaders. Principles not emotions must reign over leaders. The head must reign over the body through the chest.

(III). Pleasurable: attires are tailored to bring satisfaction and fulfillments.

(IV). Portable: your attires should comfortably move with you. Wear them but not the vice versa. Let them be not late in arrival. Let them leave nothing to see. Naiomba sitara niiepuke izara kadamnasi. Unamwona kwa maddal basari unadhani kwamba yu mwanamwali; lahaula lakwata! kumbe ni manuwali yatuayo kila mti.

(V). Possible: how available and accessible are your attires? Do the markets possess them?

(VI). Powerful: red and yellow are the colours of authority and power. White in weddings denotes chastity. First time global leaders are customarily clad in jet black and dark suits, milk white shirts/blouses ; red tuxedos/ties and walk on red carpet. They are paying homage to the Roman power.

(VII). Practical: attires match people’s jurisdictions. They meet relevant needs.

(VIII). Profitable: your attires should birth one’s purposes and aspirations.

(IX). Providential: attires complement where people are. They ought to fulfill spiritual endevours.

(X). Purposeful: gowns are tailored to graduations and weddings; smocks are geared towards mechanical activities; long flowing attires are ceremonial in West Africa; hijab, kanzu, famwe and baraghashie are Islamic attires; the kilts are Scottish attires; suits stemmed from Napoleon to create equality in all by eliminating Kings and Queens’ attires and the Britons innovated them. Medicine, schools and the aviation industry have their specific attires. Let them wear attires for beauty and glory courtesy of Exodus 28:2-3.

Genesis 3:21; Matthew 6:28-30; John 19:23-24; James 2:1-4 and Revelation 7:9-10.

The ideal ally is a brassiere: he or she never leaves you hanging characteristically like a pendulum in an hourglass; he or she maketh thee look exquisite mentally, physically, socially and spiritually and he or she resides cheek-by-jowl to thy heart.

The ideal sermon is a lady’s skirt: short enough to arouse interest; long enough to cover everything.

By Professor and Philosopher Daniel Masese.
