Remembering Nepal



The earth shakes and we know it's another earthquake
How much more can we really take?
Flashbacks of dead bodies laying in the streets
People digging through rubble for something to eat
My heart becomes still as my pot and pans begin to shake
What have we done for us to have yet another earthquake?
My family members are still missing and yet more destruction has come
When will the sorrow in our hearts be able to quiet down?

The pain in the eyes of the children who stand close by
We peep through the holes in the walls as we see people running by
The churches lay flat, houses begin to crack
Even bodies already resting are now risen and lay beside us
Our country continues to get worse as the shake comes once more
Have mercy on us please as we prepare for the earth to shake with deadly force

The world looks on as if they can't believe 
Quickly charities have formed to try and meet our needs
As we pray for help the walls continue to shake 
The world holds their breath as Nepal can't withstand another huge earthquake
As you sit comfortably in your homes please reflect
With just one shake your houses could fall
Be thankful for the blessings you have and remember those who have lost it all 

Imagine if your beautiful buildings no longer stood tall
Imagine if your families were all gone after the shaking was no more
Imagine if you had to search far and wide  for water to quench your thirst
Imagine if you had broken bones and could no longer walk at all.

Nepal we are thinking of you

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
