THE AFRICAN SETTING....OF DASHED HOPES AND DREAMS

 So the morning cock crows,i turn and toss

On my bed of straws and half eaten grass

I open my eyes in a slow motion kind of way..its another day..another sunrise

Just as usual i say my prayers,coz as its said God for us all and man for himself

After that i slowly get my tired and worn out body,my hand so full of blisters and black as coal...my heels cracked and dry...

M y hair full of lice and dirt..

My forehead..dark and hard..having seen the better and bitter part of the scorching sun..

I put on my rag like clothes....splash the only thing that seems free around...........water.... on my face

My stomach rumbles..i remember..for a person of my calibre..a meal a day is all i can afford...and yea..its a celebration wen i get to eat twice a day..which i did..yeasterday...

I stop reminscing..back to reality now...i put on my slippers

Walks into the darkness.......

The darkness swallows me up..eats me up...

The darkness..

The darkness that is my life..

The darkness

MORNING GLORY

The air was cool,filled with wisps of water
The grass was wet with dew,the aura of a good day
The birds chirped outside filling the air with their sweet natural melodies
The flowers outside were bright and colourful,there was a rainbow across the sky making the landscape perfect and glorious
The bees buzzed noisily,the butterflies coloured the space
The leaves creaked and fell on the ground making a beautiful carpet
It was a beautiful day...a beautiful morning

so i just sat the whole night..just staring at the computer..looking at random things..thinking about a lot of things...wondering about certain things..
