I am Young

Another party tonight I must be there

Exams around the corner but that’s the least

New shoes, new hairstyle must touch the streets

I am young

So why the need to worry about life

I have years and years and years to live my life

My bones are strong my flesh is tight

I need to show no respect to the elders who fought the good fight

Money is the pree don’t care how

Friends have to see that I can drive nice car and live in nice house

Read and write? No that’s not the pree

Sitting in a classroom when gun and weed out a street

Need to get rich quick and live my life

I am young

Mother and father can’t tell me where to plant my feet

My friend died by the gun

But I am still young

I shall buy a gun and be the new don man

Girls here and there that is the way I envision it

Here today gone tomorrow? at the back of my head

I am young I have all the time in the world

Step out and sell my weed and trade for a gun

One bullet to the head

And my best friend is the next dead one

I am young

I still have no fear

That can’t reach me I have years and years

As I walk the streets the leaves walk with me

Where is everyone?

Dead and gone I am alone

The sound of an engine disturbs my thoughts

One quick click of the gun and my blood is pouring to the ground

I am young I say to myself

The years and years I thought I had didn’t come

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
