Her slender fingers rested on her heaving bosom,
Listening to unstopping...

A shining light on the hill

for what they did not know they did
Yet unlike those men

My inner being convicted

Stray Not
Stray not to evil’s dark enticement,
Instead heed what is good,
Against what’s wrong, in the end bereavement,
For those who failed to stood.

Stray not to debauchery’s wild call,
Tis a short road to death,

Our Shame, 

"PRESIDENT" & "LEADERS"

The Odour of Excess
The Odour of Excess.

Sitting together,
smiling benignly,

sipping coffee,
flaked with 24-carat gold-leaf shavings,

their empty souls,
always on the prowl,

to sate,
the latest cravings.

"sell all your jewellery, and give to the poor",
revolutionary words, uttered by His son,
Jesus of Nazareth.

Well, we...

And dishonour students’ union leader’s...

Broken Home
A broken Home is
Not only when parents got divorce
Nor when one parent died.
It is a broken Home 
When both parents are alive but there's no love.
When there's no unity,
Each has its own desire to reign.
