I chose to live today

When I woke up I wondered if,

today I’d take my leave,

everything just seemed to go wrong.

I thought of giving in,

no more coping or pretence,

took forever just to get out of bed.

But I chose to live today.

I picked a different way.

even when it all seems so wrong.

Yes I’ll make a different day.

I choose to breathe today.

Wont give in, give up or go down.

Yes I choose to live today,

and believe me when I say,

it’s harder than it seems to hold on.

So if you feel a different way,

think back to better days,

take my hand and choose to move on.

I confess she is the only one girl, Who made love seem to revolve the world I told her I miss her, miss how she used to put on a costume and let me tear it off her. I m...

Mortal God.

the stars won’t come out tonight, God has abandoned his throne, termites have made bed with his gold, crows taken Jesus crown. the reeds now choke the angels; their bloodshot eyes tell it all, how the enemy within was but a fruit, none so different from Leviathans songs. Sirens now guard the gates to heaven, gargoyles rove his kennels and granaries, the holy ones staked on the golden gates; tonight the trumpets wont blow tonight the son of man wont return.

Book reviews : momo the monkey arrives & momo makes a mess

Image
Suddenly, something did move. Peeking out from under the monkey’s tummy, a small pair of sad eyes looked up at the children. “Oh, look!” said Geno. “It’s a baby monkey!” she whispered to Alid. She eased the tiny creature from under the tummy. All the children gasped. The author Shariffa Keshavjee has two new books out, “Momo the monkey arrives : Momo the monkey Adventure series,” and   “Momo makes a mess,” a picture book that’s great for reading to children or having them read when alone or aloud in groups. Here, Shariffa   leads readers through the children’s imagination and feelings towards their new found friend and pet, The author blends the ideas of children basic instincts ,innocence and a mixture of   mischievous traits   on how to   get Momo into their home, how to care for Momo and the fun   and chaos that comes with having a monkey in the house. Drawn with a sketchy but confident pencil line, and painted in the cle...
