The human story is formulated by birth to planet earth via the womb, the adventure that defines what was hidden from our consciousness exploring every event that unfolds our destination within the realm of existence.

The reality is visible within the oxygen we breathe as an existence of human flesh who observes the demeanor of the rich and poor we encounter along our pathway in life.

Class factors are raging within the sphere of society in the plethora of wealth and knowledge acquired daily, the cosmology of the earth remaining the same across the galaxy.

How we live cannot change the page of sanity that creates the platform for our integrity to soar its wings, likewise our identity cannot shift away from the page of colour. The conception is misplaced with an attitude for insanity within the atmosphere, compelling to demoralize our thoughts, deluding our minds from the sanitation of aura from the culture and economy they strive to attain.

Nobody forgets the siege and resilience among breeds of human flesh conniving an act that cannot change the texture of the earth and the dust across the surface. The occurrence of events epitomizes the significant contribution humanity portrays within the environment, the enraging act within the political, social and religious circle to implement an ideology forcefully does not change the birth and death of human existence.

The purge among leaders and super powers cannot change the structure of the universe, the drama persistently igniting our minds to the mystery that fades within seconds. The world breathes in respite of its ability to sustain a peaceful atmosphere within its realm of existence that abounds with an air of war and violence over its surface across boundaries separating the living family to cold regions of the dead to uplift the ideology that clusters the affairs of the world.

Events that we encounter within our vicinity are rather opposite to the aim and expectation we believe would savage our reputation within the world of uncertainty as a volatile and chaotic atmosphere erupts, reminiscent of the difficult world by the dangerous pattern of events that wreaks havoc within society.

The Aleppo insurrection within Syria, the mysterious murder of the Russian ambassador in Turkey and the Berlin attack within a few days of Christmas were the splurge of a volatile world whose existence never deteriorates in a musing affair of interest, an engaging knowledge of our daily events and impulsive decisions enacted within society.

The tide within the wall of Gambia over the emergence as Adama Barrow‘s victory raised an uproar between the people of Gambia and President Jammeh, likewise the declination to concede to the defeat in respite of a democratic atmosphere, refusing and criticizing the Economic Community of the West African States (ECOWAS) delegate thereby opposing the inauguration slated for January 19, 2017 for dictatorial ambition over the state of Gambia.

DRC President Joseph Kabila‘s threat and opposing attacks persisted and the rage still evolves across African society within its peril of totalitarianism yet the cloud and dust of the soil never changes its colour.

As we celebrate the New Year, the efficiency of new policies, new laws and the restructuring of cabinets within the western world and communities within the African continent awaits us.

The emergence of a new individual raises eyebrows over the ideas they want to offer and what they would generate to the capacity of the development for its massive growth. Will the world remain the same in 2017?
