The Life we Live


A little rain falls and dried up stains of blood are washed away
Gunshot rings out and we turn up our music
Shouts of rape and we pretend not to hear it
Life goes on its just another idle child life gone
Politics is the order of the day again till we get a little wake up call
What can you hear or see? When your car class is tinted so darkly
People call out for justice but nothing is done another police man just fire his gun
Then you hear of vision 2030
Ain't nothing wrong with a little hope 
But who will be left here if every other day another child life is taken away
How can you comfort a mother whose child was just killed by the police
How can you comfort a class of students whose teacher was chopped to death on our streets

What about the plan for today?
We can't read lips open up your mouth and let the people know what your about
A leader with no voice?
What good can that do for us?
Poverty is still with us, crime ever present,corruption never leaves us yet nothing is said or done
Comfortable our leaders sleep at night on pillows filled with their empty promises
The tears in the children eyes does nothing to their hearts
What hearts perhaps it has left them
A 14 year old is left to be the man of the house has his father as been missing for years
No education he has so he takes up th gun
The cycle continues the start of another don man

With no dreams for the future
Our children walk by
Sex is a word used more than love and happiness
Grown men watch the little girls from they start to walk
That little gift well wrapped up a treasure for the love of her heart
He invades her body and robs her of it 
Then he rushes home to his wife and kids
When will a change come about for country we call the best
With so many  good things to show the world
Why not start with a little love in out hearts.

TVJ Schools' Challenge Quiz Prizes

The buzzer ignited the excitement in my veins for many years. I grew up watching TVJ Schools' Challenge Quiz and I saw it as a means of once again unifying the nation through friendly rivalry. As the years rolled by things started to change and the blatant favouritism could be seen coming from our television screens. The power of some of the more prominent high schools would allow them to end up in the winning circle. Apart from the fun element turning into some what of a war each year, what has changed drastically is the awarding of the various prizes at the end. Throughout the years we could expect to see students from some of the participating schools coming forward to collect their various prizes at the end of the competition. We looked forward to hearing what the students would be awarded for their hard workout throughout the season. Apparently, this was deemed to be too much of a problem to broadcast so it was eliminated completely. All we see now is the winner collecti

This World

  A world where people don't love you if you can't supply them with all the material things they need. A world where people marry just to get citizenship in a country. A world where the most educated aren't the ones given the best of jobs. A world where the television and internet are left to teach our children values. A world where the leaders of the church spend more money on church buildings tha n feeding the poor. A world where children receive guns before they receive a book to read. A world where in one half of the world people fight for an apple to eat while in the other we pick,choose and refuse what to eat. A world where we cry when we have no new clothes or shoes but some have never felt the warmth of a shirt and pants on their cold flesh. A world where politicians get increases in pay while the citizens are placed on wage freeze for years. A world where everybody proclaims they can't trust anybody. A world where girls value are always occupied with their look
