My time with the "African "monk.

My Time With the “African” Monk

My time with him lasted ten months. Only ten.

Yet even now, years later, I find myself thinking about him with a frequency that feels disproportionate to the calendar. Some relationships stretch on for decades and barely leave a mark. Others—brief, quiet, almost incidental—root themselves somewhere permanent. Aiuwetu belongs to the latter. Some would say those ten months felt longer, given the situations and transitions I often found myself navigating during that period of my life. I agree. But I don’t regret a single moment of it.

When I met him, I had already been working the same dead-end airport job for years—ever since I entered the workforce straight out of high school. It was a contract-for-profit corporation that cleaned airplanes. The kind of job that teaches you, very quickly and very bluntly, that dreams of performing in the arts are not just limited but, in certain environments, quietly mocked as foolish. Still, I showed up. I did the work.

That job put me shoulder to shoulder with all sorts of people: immigrants from countries I could barely pronounce at the time, retired veterans killing time before “real” retirement settled in, people just trying to survive. We were contractors—close enough to the airline to wear their colors, far enough away to never belong. The actual airline employees were usually people nearing or exiting their prime: clock in, clock out, no green cards to worry about, no doctor’s notes, no extra steps. Just bright orange and highlighter-yellow safety vests passing one another on the tarmac like ghosts in motion.

One of those people became a close friend. Back then, he was shy. Quiet. We bonded over millennial comforts—trading card games, video games, and Archer, because of its razor-sharp wordplay and absurd humor. Four years into that job, when life nudged me into needing new accommodations, he предложed we live together. His mother was renting out the house they’d lived in for years and relocating out of state. The plan was simple: three tenants, split rent, keep things affordable.

For me, it was a strategy of survival. I wanted to continue my online bachelor’s degree while staying off the radar of credit checks and long-term leases. I planned to leave the airport and work delivery contracts with my father and grandfather. Funny how small the world is—I already knew his family. I’d gone to high school with his older sister, a girl who used to listen patiently to my wacky stories, just as her brother would years later while we cleaned Delta flights together.

The house itself was warm and charming, the kind of place that breathes. It reminded me of my grandmother’s home in Louisiana—something in the walls, something in the quiet. My friend’s mother, who I suspect thought I talked entirely too much, was fair and steady as a landlord. And the third tenant—the one who would quietly change me—was the man everyone called the African Monk.

Aiuwetu.

That’s his name, and even now, saying it feels deliberate, like a small ritual.

He was a Libra, like me, and that’s the first detail that always floats back to the surface. He dressed in clothes that felt handmade, as though they carried intention—likely crafted by artisans who frequented Atlanta’s West End. He carried himself with a gentleness that never slipped into fragility. Conversations with him slowed the air around you. There was warmth there. Calm. The kind that doesn’t demand attention but earns it.

His dreadlocks were gray, like clouds heavy with rain, and his blue eyes held a permanent skepticism when confronted with modern trends. He wasn’t unimpressed—just unconvinced. He came from a simpler time, one he revisited through old television reruns and long, thoughtful conversations. What fascinated me most wasn’t that he seemed wise—it was that he was wise, without performance. A rare thing in men of any age, let alone his.

Even now, I think about how he listened. Truly listened. About how silence never felt awkward in his presence. About how wisdom doesn’t always announce itself loudly—sometimes it just sits across from you at the kitchen table.

I remember shaking his hand before bed some nights and being surprised by how soft his hands were. Not because they shouldn’t have been—just because I never expected it. That softness stuck with me. It still does. It felt symbolic, like proof that a life of contemplation doesn’t harden you—it preserves something essential.

And I think about him now more than I ever expected to. In moments of uncertainty. In moments when the world feels loud and rushed and transactional. Aiuwetu appears in memory not as a lesson, but as a presence—a reminder that wisdom can be quiet, that gentleness can coexist with strength, and that sometimes the most meaningful teachers pass briefly through our lives, leaving behind a stillness we spend years trying to return to.

My last poem

My last poem

by Antonio Douglas

It will be amazing. Zero chance of  failing, No doubt,e It will be groundbreaking, earthshaking moving continents from Pangea to breaking new ground. My last poem will cause panic and euphoria with out whispers of making shouts loud. 

It will blow like winds over oceans waves carrying salt of the earth, it will bless children with old traditions, from those near death to those who yet have birth.

It will burst out ear drums , it will force voices out of the mute, it will paint masterpieces of vanilla skies, it will bring people together if only for a short time. 

My last poem will sing on top of mountains for heaven to harmonize to, it will vibe to the smoothest rhythm and pop with the everlasting groove for the getting down. It will dream the sweetest nightmares and wake the daydreamers up to the reality they will change after nights of  lonely moons. 

My last poem will swim with mermaids, soar on magic carpets next to dragons. It will grant wishes for the lower class , it will make the greedy change their ways.. it will revolutionize televised airwaves with love and kindness, rage war on  critically acclaimed films with blood and tears, my last poems will cause 1 moment to feel like 1 billion years, it will make lies destroy lives with words more intimately enticed with letters deceiving the most faithful of those who live under the warmest sun. 

Convert atheist from stubborn doubt so quick, they’ll start speaking in tongues. It will raise the dead from their resting places to remind you what is gone will never be forgotten. Make fruit ripe with sweetness to the sour taste to the rotten. 

It will punish the guilty.

My last poem will break ground, shake things up, and spread chaos like a contagious virus of creativity. 

It will make the deaf hear and the blind see, it will create a symphony out of silence, and make the mute speak in prose. It will inspire hope amongst despair, and bring tears to eyes that have forgotten how to cry.

 It will make the sky burst with color, and the ground quake beneath our feet. My last poem will touch hearts, and change lives forever.

It will touch souls, and heal old scars. It will make the wicked repent, and the good shine brighter than gold. It will be a poem that will be remembered long after I am gone, and inspire generations to come. It will be a masterpiece of words, and a work of art to behold.

My last poem will be legendary, and it will echo through the ages, as a testament to the power of the written word and its ability to touch hearts, change minds, and transcend the boundaries of time and space.

My last poem will be a beacon of light in a dark world, and a source of hope for those who have lost their way. It will be a force to be reckoned with, and a reminder of what is truly important in this world.

My last poem will be a reflection of the beauty that still lingers within us, despite the chaos and uncertainty that surrounds us. It will be a reminder of what is still possible, and a reminder of what we can still achieve if we only have the courage to believe in ourselves.

It will be a reminder, of the power of language, and the magic of the written word.

The way in which words can inspire, and can uplift and uplift. The way in which words can heal, and can destroy.

My last poem will be a reminder, of the power that we each hold within ourselves. The power to create, and the power to destroy. The power to love, and the power to hate.

It will be a reminder of the power that lies within the heart, and within the soul.

The power of the human spirit to rise above, and to fly.

And when I am gone, my words will linger, like a gentle breeze across the night sky.

And it will inspire the dreamers, and awaken the hearts of those who have sleepwalked through life. It will remind them, of the power within them to create, to love, and to dream.

And in that moment, in that instant, I will be remembered, not just as a dreamer myself, but as a catalyst for the dreams of others. As a spark that ignites the inferno within.

 Character breakdown love will save the world

The journey of the protagonist represents the battle with depression through the transformations of Twilight Libra into Donte da Sith, then Lee da Jedi, and ultimately Tony da Daydreamer.Each visual representation of reincarnation.6Each phase captures a different stage of struggle and self-discovery. Here’s how the characters embody depression:

Twilight Libra (The Weight of Depression - Stagnation and Doubt)

• Libra represents the early stages of depression—a person weighed down by exhaustion, self-doubt, and the overwhelming burdens of life.

• His world is muted, filled with static from the radio and the noise of society.

• He struggles to hold onto creativity, as seen in his worn-out journal and the AMVs that once inspired him but now serve as reminders of lost passion.

• His descent into alcohol, isolation, and destructive habits symbolizes giving in to despair.

Donte da Sith (The Rage of Depression - Self-Destruction and Isolation)

• This form embodies the anger, self-hate, and destructive tendencies that often accompany deep depression.

• His red and black aesthetic, along with the curse of the Aztec gold, represents being trapped in pain and regret—a restless spirit unable to heal.

• Donte rages under the red moonlight, a visual metaphor for being consumed by darkness.

• His battle with Da Dreamkilla reflects self-sabotage—he lashes out, but every attack is nullified, showing how depression makes it feel like progress is impossible.

Lee da Jedi (The Fight for Balance - Seeking Light but Losing Ground)

• As Lee, the journey shifts to resistance and the struggle to reclaim control.

• The white jumpsuit represents an attempt to return to clarity and hope, but the cloak hiding it symbolizes lingering doubt.

• He wields a blue lightsaber—a weapon of wisdom—but it’s not enough. Depression (Da Dreamkilla) still overpowers him, revealing that just wanting to be better doesn’t guarantee victory.

• His repeated losses symbolize relapses and setbacks—how depression can pull someone back down even after they fight to rise.

Tony da Daydreamer (The Creative Mind Reclaimed - Healing and Mastery)

• Tony represents self-acceptance and the power of imagination to overcome depression.

• His transformation is marked by summoning the Treasures of the Daydreamer, pulling strength from the passions he once abandoned.

• The Book of Shadows grants him the ability to freeze time, reflecting introspection and taking control of his own narrative.

• His final battle against Da Dreamkilla is no longer a fight, but an act of creation—using his dreams to reshape reality rather than destroy it.

• The multiple versions of Tony symbolize embracing all aspects of himself, turning past weaknesses into sources of strength.

Da Dreamkilla (The Manifestation of Depression - Doubt, Fear, and Negativity)

• The ultimate antagonist isn’t a villain—it’s the internal voice that tells Libra he isn’t enough.

• Da Dreamkilla constantly nullifies and overpowers Libra’s efforts, mirroring how depression erases progress and makes victories feel empty.

• His ability to disrupt the radio station (WMAAT) reflects how depression interferes with the messages of hope and love trying to reach Libra.

• Even when seemingly defeated, Da Dreamkilla doesn’t disappear—he transforms into an even greater threat, showing how depression can take on new forms.

Conclusion: The Path to Healing

• Depression isn’t destroyed—it’s understood and reshaped.

• By the end, Tony da Daydreamer doesn’t just fight Da Dreamkilla—he changes the battlefield, proving that healing comes from embracing creativity and passion rather than trying to erase the pain.

• The final scene with ZERO (the dog) subtly reinforces this—love and companionship are what ultimately pull Libra back into the real world.

This structure makes the film not just a visual spectacle but a deeply personal journey through the stages of depression.
