The Youth


Strong bones and sharp minds 
But are the youths strong enough?
Do they even have the time?
Consumed with reality TV while real life passes them by
Are you telling me these are the ones on who we rely?
Praises are given to those who have the most gimmicks 
How many do you admire with genuine and powerful lyrics?

Who am I talking to? 
I'm talking to the youth
Some know strength but only the strength of their sexual prowess
The value of the mind is low on the scale of attractiveness
Flashy cars,perfect physique and neatly laid hair parade at the top of the attractiveness scale
What are you using your youth for?
To simply keep up with the current downfall or be the generation to stand tall?
Consumed with the excitement of the times and the obsession with money
Pride and morals are put aside at the pursuit of fame and monetary gain
What race are you in ?
To simply have fame attached to your name or be proud of your name

Strong bones become frail when they have no structure
Youth so weak they can't withstand the pressure
No time on their hands
They simply waver to fall prey to any helping hand
Hands that will abuse and make them lesser of a man
Will you still stand?
Who will be bold enough to lead our land?
The youth are weak
It is strength the future needs

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.

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
