We pray for you and wish you well.

Wi- Fi Frustration

Technology is not my thing
I know it can be great,
but I don’t seem to have the time
It gets me in a state.

I write replies to be polite
push send when I am done,
and when I think they’re on their way
I lose each bloody one.

The...

I survived a week..
a week in college.
This, I take as a great achievement.
I met fascinating people,
who seemed to take me in as one of their own,
professors from across the globe,
Things about me I wanted to forget,
already in the past,
as I forge a new identity...
as I...

Dear God and Creator,
“Sometimes, I wish that I had a pirate ship of my own,” – I recall me saying a long time ago
Crazy of me to have dreams when I am, well, all alone…the wind is blowing to and fro
In a gleam of an...

Is history not the study of war,
treading on nations that flourished before?

It's how civilizations rise and fall,
tyranny is a weapon known to all. 

Is it fear that allows us to be led
toward greed and not our conscience instead?

If larceny supersedes our morals,
then wars are how...

Deceitfulness and lies
its like everyone tries
to play the game and place the blame
on shelves on anyone but themselves
when deep down they know its all for show
because they cant take what God has dealt them with pride and love inside
they choose to hate, discriminate, 
judge others...

Ashes in the faces of Africans
some blowing from hands
Lent is here with us as sure deal

Food is playing hide and seek
water lives underground
dustbins are empty 
nocturnal animals share the fast

This is Lent without priests
no holy mass to be celebrated
no church-goers  to be active
but all...

I've just tasted the politics of the land
with the same tongue
that yesterday chanted political slogans
for a diseased bunch of shenanigans
driving the political wagon with an expired license,
I don't care if the first lady of Graceland,
who fell short of God's grace in her political quest,
gets a...

A New Year I said, a new me
Focus on work, health and my family
My beautiful boy, who brings so much joy
To my incomplete life.

Then I met you, out of the blue
Too soon to be thinking about falling for you?
Handsome, chatty, you made me smile
This feels...

This pile of pills keeps me afloat,
Washed down with beetroot juice each day
To keep the aches and pains at bay
And ailments more substantial. Who knows
Just where or who I'd be without them
Or what indeed each one bestows
To aid and optimise performance ?
The red ones and...

I feel no sorrow 
And have no shame 
I might even have someone to blame 
But I could be yours 
If your in the right place 
My jacket is smooth 
And I am straight to the point 
I can even be a hollow point 
All...

  You google lavish Porsche sipping Latte,
    plump fingers scrolling fancy images,
      thermostat stuck at a fixed temperature,
        you glower at the assistant for pending checkup,

In the night I wake to find you 
Not in bed, only a pillow, which I wetted it 
Once, with tears of wrinkled time 
Lingers silently, beside me

Oh God, not again, I thought
My sleepy round eyes try to search 
In the stillness of the night,...

Waiting for the government…
                  

Waiting for the government
				to do some thing
	any thing

I didn’t get that. 
Oh, you took a space-craft out
				  into space

We’ll keep our fingers crossed	
				behind...
