Emotionless

Maybe we expect too much from those we love
Perhaps it's a lot to expect that they be loyal and faithful
She thought of how it could be a privilege for her to at least have a 1 minute talk with her man as some kids never get to have that
She has tried to be all he could ever want

The Tears Of A Silenced Victim

They call it a sensitive issue to talk about
When it’s so easy to think about
The biggest elephant in the house
We carry on living and trying not to go there

3.
I Do Not Miss You

Do I miss u because of ur silence?
Is it because I do not hear your voice any longer?
Is it because u no longer care?
Is it because u have somehow stopped saying and doing what u used to?

What's Royalty Then?

When the years of being queen come to an end
When everything that you used to become threatened
Your crown, your throne and your rod
When you have no reason to dine no more

Sgila (School)

Chewing gums, energy drinks and sunglasses
Popcorns, water bottles and books
Cigarettes, weed and smoothies
Accents and crushes

God's Love

How much he loves you that he would sacrifice his sleep to watch over you when u asleep at night,
Even though u haven't asked him to
How he loves u that he would watch u not giving him ur time,
U'd rather give it to ur pets, newspaper or magazine

Downtown

1st rule: u don't say 'excuse me' 2 any1. U just pass, if u hpn 2 push them, den it's not a problem.
Ok.. Then these women be chasing u with their infinite hairstyles, wanting u 2 try them on ur head.. 'helo sisi, khom 'n see, don't u want to do ur hair? '. Somehow u manage 2 escape, then dis big-headed guy grabs ur hand & be like 'hellouw sweedart' as he blows da cigarette smoke on u.. & un4tunately u have 2 pass by dat other man sitting on da corner, giving u dat 'I want 2 swallow u' look.. U try very hard not 2 show him dat u're nervous.. So u give him a daring look. Then u happen to trip, just when u were about 2 fall, the thought of those dirty, smelly waters running in the street, ready 2 grab u, gave u more reason 2 balance & hold on to that rusty pole. Then this guy shows up, giving u that 'have mercy on me' look, asks u 4 a R2 or some bread.. Seeing how u're surrounded by a pride of lions, scared of taking the handbag off ur shoulder & reach in2 it 2 find ur purse, U tell him dat u don't have it. So he leaves u & continues with his journey.. As u rush into da taxi rank, da car passes, drives into those dirty waters, & be4 u knew it, u were showered with those waters.. Eeew.! Feeling like saying da 'f*' word.. Bt then u calm urslf, . 'this is 1 of da devils games'- u think.
U carry on with ur journey.. Aaaah! Then u come across a traffic of pedestrians.. 'this is not my day'- u think.. 'people move maan hau..'- u say it in ur heart. u feel like pushing this lady in front of u as she walks like a model. As 4 those ladies with high heels.. u just feel like screaming at them 'THIS IS NOT THE RIGHT PLACE TO PRACTISE WALKING.. Some of us are in a hurry maan'.. With a very knocked-down face, as u walking like u following a queue inside a bank, u start feeling a heat. So u think dat maybe it's a crowd.. But no.. Someone is cooking here. Heban! ! Dude where should we pass? As u walking, some1 behind u steps on ur shoe, then it comes off.. Ish. U feel like giving him a warm-klap.. But then u remembr dat u are a WJWD, So u jst walk away.. then comes dat short person whom u nearly stumbled & fell onto.. I SWEAR..!

The Tears Of A Busy Man

The tears of a busy man

All I ever wanted was to provide
All I ever wanted was to be the head of the house

Giving Is The Secret Principle Of Receiving

the season was very dry and dusty
with no hope of rain
green was a myth
it only existed in the make-belief world
