BURNOUT, DEPRESSION AND SUICIDE.

Image
  Like living between a rock and a hard place, life has suddenly become more difficult to understand.   With the many unemployment rates, crimes in the streets, environmental pollution and to top it all, the spiralling upward cost of living has made it even more stressful for the human race. Today’s society is full of people learning to get opportunities in the working environments. Unluckily even with their best quality acquired knowledge and skills with certification, there isn’t employment. Job markets have become so competitive that one has to fight through their ways to at least get recognised. This has happened through connections or even by lady luck's choice. Imagine a freshly made graduate from the University who has to fight for a chance in the working society.   There could be reasons why they fight for better chances.   Some want to get the jobs so that they can be fit in the society – prove that they are capable of being independent and that they no longer nee

Dear Friends

Image
  Dear friends We met by chance, we met by coincidence or fate. But I care about you anyway. I don’t care how you look or where you come from. Your background is not you. I only care to walk with you in this life and your Dreams.   To hold your hand when you can’t walk. Let’s walk this journey of life together. When you are happy dear friend, I am happy too. When you feel stressed and depressed let me be your Shoulder to lean on and not your fake one, To talk about poor you behind your back.   Don’t sideline me when you feel you have become better Than me or that I have better than you. We are different in our own unique ways. Don’t cancel our meetings because you have No time for me dear friend or that your House is in a mess.   It doesn’t matter how you look today When all is gone and you are not yourself. Let me be by your side and walk the path of life With you dear friend. Because that, is how we make merry memories. G

The Season.

Image
  At first, the lands are so dry and dusty.   No one wants to take the path Since it leads to no destination. And the people wish for the rains to clear The paths and let the dust settle. Because it irritates them.   Without warning from the sky, There is a sign. The cloudy wind gathers  the dark clouds in line. And the smell of rain is felt in the warm wind whirling To set the day for the right season. For it’s been long since the rains reigned, taking Power over the dust that sat with pride on her throne.   Do you feel the drizzle? It’s touching my face . Embracing it with a longing of place. I can hear the fall of rains The patrichor makes it more beautiful  Like the sound of the drum Carrying along with it the beating of their heartbeats, Counting every second made In the light of the falling rains.

6 Ways that Men Can Escape Poverty.

Image
1.   Get the right woman. Forget the slay queens and women with looks but zero brains. Get a woman who will not only support your vision but will also push you to achieve more. A woman who will inspire you to work hard and not a woman who just makes you hard. He who finds a real woman finds a good thing and obtains favour and power to create wealth.  2.      Stop taking cheap drinks.  There is no problem with having drinks during social interaction and networking. However, when you drink cheap drinks or drink in cheap places, you hang out with cheap people who have cheap ideas and a cheap future. Big business opportunities are found in places where the drinks are expensive. In fact, in places where they sell cheap drinks, the only people you will find there are people who will be asking you for money. They even clap when you come knowing 'big buyer' has come. 3.                              3. Stop being lazy. Man ooh Man, why art thou Lazy?" You are too lazy f

We See No Changes

Image
  We see no changes in our midst, No hope for the current generation lifespan Or is it the forefathers that forced the spell to split us? Why there is much mirage on a people’s hope. And the heroes hearts bleed and yet no bloodshed from the heart.     A mother struggling to see her child through The tough journey of schooling. Her husband she says Long lost and disappeared at her child’s birth. She loses no hope, since   the sun still sets on the Homes of the heroes and the frail.   A father feeling furious for his son’s actions He sees shame and deception drain in his fibbery face He can’t stand it, his once cherished shied and treasure Of a family’s hope has turned out to be the City’s threat. The sound of the bewitching breaks his heart as he’s left living In fear of a shocking news of a sudden arrest.   At the break of dawn, another child has disappeared It’s weeks since one was found mutilated and burnt No evidence yet discovered of the

The feelings of hate

Image
  As we stream along the wary path, I feel the fear and I tremble with hate.  The gang sits and their eyes hacked off  As they watch our stilthy moves.

A Passionate Peace

Image
kiss me deeply with passion. It seems as if oceans of time separate us, but some day I know we will pass in the night. I wait for you in the recesses of my mind. I am lost and I need to be found. You are the shining star that will show me the way to love and safety. Shine for me, and I will not falter in my search for happiness.   I'm hurt in silence and my pain   is much more I can't bear but I lift my heart to the Lord For hope to come. Trying to be better day by day. I hope I can conquer this social anxiety And shyness one day. May the garden of silence bloom the   Garland of genuine flowers.       By Akinyi Okello.  

The City's Fear

Image
  “You don’t have to go to the city son” He told me as I broke the news The new job that I just landed  After the interviews was mine at last. It'd been years that I found that job. He feared for my life going to the city For he knew I would be lost in   the city. The journey to a new life began,   To   the new chapter of a beginning, To come back a changed being And that my family life transit too.   I love the new city life, The buildings, the men and women, The language they speak ,   I am home- Away from home. But what do I hate? The city people have no kindness, No compassion for a rural invader in the city. My things they take when am not around, And all, they remain quite and lock themselves in Unlike the rural people, Friendly and aid their own.   Dear daddy, I hope you are fine, I hope my mama too. Does she still smile at her thoughts about me? Do you still believe that I ain’t meant to be here? Dear Daddy, city life i

Internet Addiction.

Image
  The mass movement of the new Technology, has taught me the real thing. People learning through it, But not in the right way With communication made easy, We smile at the conversation connected And forget about the old days When we could read and write On paper that made us like paupers. That Internet, has made me a zombie Glued to the screen on a daily basis  And the results have my life never changed! I feed ,I cloth and bath with its crisis  And again, I sleep with it!  It has become my bed of roses It has become my daily meal. My dreams are with him Procrastination had become my ally And nothing is ever done right Without consultation from his location.  The Internet, my only moderation. He is now my husband and I his wife We smile with the gadgets but never Connect our emotional needs. When I fail to feed him he becomes weak  My money and dollars are his food.  The bandles and WiFi are  His favourite foods. Mine children he has taken too They feed,eat and clothe in him And I ne

The Secrets Of Our Hearts.

Image
  The Secrets Of Our Hearts. If we could tell the secrets of our hearts Who would  remain  untouched or hurt? It's like a seed sowed waiting for the harvest, Like a raging  Storm  in the  night Waiting for the  beautiful  day  light . The  broken  promises popping to get sight Only, to be left  alone  in the darkest night . If we could tell the secrets of our hearts, Oh, how a loved one would be left in thoughts. A  silent  surrounding would know our  good  or bad For even the royal wouldn't dare  hide What they do or  hear  . Only, to be left alone in the darkest night. If we could tell the secrets of our hearts, Oh, what a relieved feeling that even the Enemies would know our plans. We cannot tell the secrets of our hearts For it keeps them safe unless the bud unfolds.
