Who Rules? All Things New

We were used to the same old rule. Promises of something better. Promises of the much needed changes. Promises to get rid of everything that prevented progress. Promises to support everything the promoted growth. Promises, promises, promises. Hope that these promises would come about. Sincere intentions to bring about the changes. Slow realisation that just […]

Who Rules? The Old or the New

The procession along the streets were vastly different in nature to how they were mere months earlier. Then the people wore sombre looks. Some were seen crying uncontrollably.

Out With The Old

Another reason why I’m not too taken up with people’s engaging of the New Year festivities is because in most cases it is a pretty superficial event.  Sentiments are given about how much we hope it’s a happy one, resolutions are rustled up, but even by the end of the month they are soon forgotten.  […]
