The Attack

THE ATTACK

The moon gave way for the sun,
The latter had tired from its night duty,
Light announced a new day had begun,
Bestowing upon the land beauty,

Another opportunity presented itself,
For the bird to finish its nest,
For man to refill his shelf,
Each embarking on some quest,

Everything seemed perfect,
Until the minions arrived,
So discreet nobody would suspect,
Watching their victims where they hived,

Then the rain started,
Not of water-drops from the sky,
But of bullets from termination gadgets,
Cascading everywhere within eye-sight,

The green-land turned crimson,
Vultures had more than a month's feast,
Without rhyme or reason,
A waste was made of lives by a beast,

Mothers wailed for their children,
Children had been rendered fatherless,
For nothing could console them,
As they watched their future being destroyed under duress.

'BOYFIDENCE'

One of the most incredible things that could happen to a young boy is 'a girl hitting on him', and you will agree with me on that. It swells his ego,gets his confidence muscled up and makes him feel on top of the world. ******************************************************************************************************* It was Wesley's first time of having such experience and it thrilled him beyond what words can tell. His life never remained the same after the event. He had just finished the last class of his first week in the university and joined the great multitude swarming towards the bus stop for a ride home. He was not feeling too good with himself because the last lecturer gave a pop-up test and he screwed up big time. He had been warned against such impromptu assessments but he figured it was too early for any lecturer to give a test. This particular one, a maths professor, was so mean he even told them it would be his greatest joy to see everyone fail. That st...

FRIENDS WITH BENEFITS

Image
Friends are such wonderful people you'd want to keep for a lifetime. They care for you, love you and pamper you with loads of affection. They might not give their life for yours, but would do everything they can to save yours. Too many friends can be too much trouble at times because you'd have to split your loyalty equally among them all and in the process of trying not to offend any, you end up upsetting all. Such a tedious task if you ask me. Everything should be done in moderation as the old advice goes. Yet that doesn't take away any credit from true friends. Let's consider another concept of friendship. Its the kind of package that many of us have either subscribed to or heard tales about. Friends with benefits is an agreement between a guy and a girl that looks like a real relationship but isn't. They both enjoy some certain 'benefits' that should ordinarily be found in a real relationship. Let me shed some light in there for you... There'...

True Feelings

Image
Have you ever compressed your feelings into words and expressed them to whoever​ they were meant for? My guess is YES! We all have sent romantic letters, mails and text messages to our lovers. Though some of my readers might not actually have tried sending a real hand-written letter because everything has gone electronic. Hmmm, electronic love. That sounds like a good topic to write about. So back in my undergrad days, I had two lovebirds living right under my nose. They were such a lovely couple, they got me on my toes and reminded me everytime to get myself entangled in a love nest. The most interesting part of it is that I was appointed as the umpire/referee of their relationship, which means I had to blow the whistle each time one commited a foul. The 'husband' came to me when the 'wife' did something wrong and she did likewise. I had to advise, console, exhort. I loved my job description and I loved them both dearly. One of those confiding days, the ...
