The Break-up

I wake up in the morning and I see you right by my side and this feeling of satisfactions erupts in me
Without hiding of any feelings, I tell you how much you mean to me
In a bid to strengthen the love, I show you what it means to be loved
I promise to be your shade when the sun scourges and your covering when the rain pours
I give you the assurance that I'll celebrate your successes and we'll both mourn your sorrows
I give you the keys to my heart...A place no one goes
I shed tears so that you may smile and I gladly go through the dirt so that you may be cleaned
You in return, smile back at every gesture and you seal my heart with the assurance of your love
We played, laughed and made every moment special like it would be our last
With my new found hubby, you made my heart throb at your sight
We created a wall round our love so that no one would intrude neither would we be tempted to go out
But as all things have their time and season, love has it's saturation point
The point where those sweet feelings turn sour and it's not a mater of how much you love someone
It becomes a matter of how much you can tolerate the person
We spent the weekend at her house and the door was calling
She answered the door and I heard the words I spoke to her come from the tongue of another man
And my love was a cheat...
As a chameleon changes it's colours and camouflages with it's current environment
She has pretended to be one with me but to my inattentiveness...She belonged to another
Yet! When rain pours onto the earth, there comes the sunshine to dry up what is left
I wait time, to heal this injury that has been inflicted on me...To dry up these tears of hurt
And I may no longer feel the hurt she caused.

The Helping Hand

Have you ever wondered why some have both eyes functioning effectively, while others can not even tell the colour of the shining sun?
Have you ever wondered why some people are lucky to have two legs while some are being pushed in wheelchairs?
Have you ever wondered why some eat to their heart's content and get so plump, while some can not find dustbins from where they would pick their meals from?
Have you even thought of how lucky you are to be reading this, while some are long gone and maggots of the earth consume what remains of their already decayed bodies?
In all our comfort, we forget that amongst us, there are people who do not have half of half of the opportunities we do.
We do not realise how much would die to eat from the scraps that are left on our plates
Seeing people who can afford to go on holidays, and travel round the world and enjoy life to it's fullest and realising that there are people who do not value these things but worry more about what would make them survive till the next day, makes me bitter.
Seeing children who have eaten so much and are very plump and realising that there are also children who are dying of hunger and are just walking skeletons.
It makes me realise how unequal the world is, and how unbalanced the means of survival are distributed.
The life of comfort is a struggle and it is the lazy that suffer and are left behind.
As from this moment, may we all join hands together to fight against the life we don't deserve and the life we would not wish to live.
Let us relieve our fellow man from the burden which he carries by offering a helping hand and make a significant difference in the lives of many.
This journey of a thousand miles begins with a step, but let's make it in the right direction.
Help the way you would like to be helped if you were in that situation...Let's help to wipe the tears that roll out from the eyes of the poor and needy.
