THIS ONE CHRISTMAS

On this Christmas eve
Where all neighbors
Prepare for the long awaited day
This one Christmas

Their kids hang on their Christmas stocking
Filled with small presents
All laughing and shouting happily
This one Christmas

Christmas finally gets here
They all have their Christmas pudding
While we just stared
This one Christmas

Our home looked abandoned
There was no pudding
No Christmas tree
This one Christmas

Husband of mother was not home
No single cent at home
No signs of celebrations at home
This one Christmas

Mother sat back quietly and lonely
Mother was sad
We all were
This one Christmas

lets play Mary, Joseph and Jesus

Mother took us to church
Seeing them kids play Mary, Joseph and Jesus
Got us manage a smile
This one Christmas

It would have been different thou
If only husband of mother
Would settle with ONE family
This one Christmas

EXCITED ABOUT YOU AT 25?

So, a close friend of mine suggested that I write about LIFE AT 25.(hey Clinton) Well, I am not 25 - maybe not yet or already past it (guess you'll never know, lol). But come to think of it, there's so much to talk and write about it. One thing I know for sure is that most of us expect to have figured out everything (having a job,that dream car and a perfect life partner - name it all) by this age. People tend to feel so much pressure around this age. Society has a way to burden people with the many unnecessary expectations. Someone, actually at some point my boss, once told me, "If you won't have been married by age 25, forget about getting married!" Now all I could think of was finding me a boyfriend. What if no one wanted me? What if I end up having those creepy lonely nights without a husband? What will become of me without a complete perfect family of my own? What would people think about me? All this until one day I realized that 25 is ...

FACE IT AS IT IS

Suppose you were a stage artiste and you were to play the role of a woman, though you are actually a man. Don't be ashamed to call quits on bad habits You would put on a woman's dress and wig, talk and perform like a woman. But you will not forget that you are a man at the end of the act. You would eventually get off the stage and go back to the dressing room, change into your real clothes and walk down the street. When you set out to work on Monday morning, you will talk and live like a man. It would be ridiculous for you to go back to work talking and behaving like a woman, the way you did on your role play the other night. The same thing applies to you now. You acted in the wrong way before you knew it was wrong ( I'm not saying being a woman is a bad thing ) but now you have a new life that makes you differentiate the right from wrong. You have been playing the role of a woman for a long time and sometimes you ...

MY CUP OF TEA

" Every time I get my period, it is just like a green light saying - you're not pregnant, carry on girl!" LOL So, the last time I updated, it was on the abortion issue and that if women cannot back out of pregnancies then men shouldn't be able to either. I got quite some reactions. Personally. Well, if you haven't had a read yet, you can peek so we could be on the same page here. Sexually transmitted infections are on the rise among all age groups, as is the abortion rate. But wait, today, in my country, or is it just in the circle of people I happen to know? Well, the number of single parents, more so mothers, has risen. Or do I say trending! It is a lifestyle now. It is as if there is something compulsive about playing the lottery of pregnancy and sexually transmitted infection. I wonder whether unprotected sex is one of the ways in which young people unconsciously explore their anxieties. Young people aren't stupid. Okay, they get dr...
