POETRY: THE COLOURS OF LIFE

When I think Love,
I see Red.
When I think Evil,
I see Black.
When I think holiness,
The color White comes to mind
So I ask myself; what is the most important color in life?
It could be Red because our blood flows in rich shades of it
Or could it be blue? Considering the skies and the sea make a beautiful blend
Perhaps! Green that represents life and nourishment is the one
And just when I sit back and smile in satisfaction, It occurs to me
Flowers portray beauty as reflected by their various rich colors
Yellow, Purple, Pink, Lilac,Orange
And then there is You and I,
You are White and I am Black
A perfect reflection of his glorious works.

PARENTING; A NECESSARY EVIL

Often times I have heard parents refer to their kids as their best friends and vice versa, that just leaves me astonished considering the idea is alien to me, 1st because I didn’t experience it and secondly…you’ll find out as you read on.
In avoidance of misunderstanding the noun parenting, I chose to look it up in a dictionary (Longman Dictionary of contemporary English). Parenting is the skill or activity of looking after your own children, as an activity I am made to understand it has no stop date. Hold up, I just heard someone ask “what does she even know about being a parent?” you’d be surprised how much one gets to know just by being an onlooker. During a conversation with a dear friend of mine, I was teasing him as usual and calling him “omo mummy” which could also mean “mummy’s pet” because he is the last child and his response gave a whole new meaning to this article that was already in the works.
