The Mixture



There is so much pain in the eyes
The eyes of a child once shone bright and warmed you inside 
So many people are hurting and the answers are nowhere to be found
They tell us to keep praying but the pain continues to get worse
Children eyes struggle to stay open as they receive their latest cancer dose
The inability to play with their friends only brings more tears to their eyes
The heat of the sun makes them weak as they try to stand tall to beg for something to eat
The inability to smile and share the joy of being a child
The guns increase in the streets but nobody knows how them reach
Hatred so strong in the hearts of men
They put a gun to the head of the young and they feel nothing their hearts are numb

The day draws to an end and they tell us pain endures just for awhile
How you tell that to a child? Whose father killed his mother then committed suicide leaving him behind
The young man works hard to bring home money to take care of his wife and child
He is held up on his way from work every cent is taken and he cries out because his wife and child will remain hungry until he can find a few dimes
They tell us to be optimistic because better shall come
Yet with each new day comes the news that more gunshot a bus
People are hurting and we can't find the answers

People have confused the idea of love so much
They lose their dignity in the name of making a couple bucks
Can't you see the meaning of value is rarely known amongst us?
The pain in the eyes are still with us as we wipe the tears away we wonder if God still remembers us
Natural destructions flood the world and it's as if nature is tired of mankind
It can't be easy for you to believe that joy will come in awhile 
Corrupted governments, abuse,poverty and no new policies
The world is at a stand still but the pain in our eyes continues to get darker
Darker yet without a glimpse of light
As the tears flow the pain and the little joy rolls on by

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
