Peace

When will there be peace?
When will the chaos cease? 
Our decrease now know an increase! 
Every where seem to have its piece! 

Ehnicity against Ethnicity! 
Mothers against their daughters! 
Father against their sons! 
Nations against Nations! 

Creatures spitting on the Creator
Muscleless mosquitoes throwing fists
Fists of sleeveless anger 
To the one who sits in Heaven

They are asking already answered questions, 
Doubting the existence of the one who birthed existence. 
This is the end of a beginning. 
Now the beginning of the end.

To those of you who have ears, Listen! 
To those of you who have eyes, watch! 
Peace is never the absence of evil or chaos, 
It's the acceptance of the Prince of Peace. 

Peace is not measured by money, 
Neither is it measured by properties.
Peace is not conditioned to circumstances, 
Neither is it conditioned to situations.

Peace is measured by the measure given, 
The measure of spirit given to us. 
But lo, the spirit was given without measure.
So is the peace you can get.

The peace that passes all understanding.

7 Reasons why you shouldn't delve into a relationship as a teenager.

Image
Relationships are really sweet. When I say relationship, I mean romance/love relationship. And if you’ll agree, teenage love relationships are usually the loveliest. You guys are still rocking your teen adventure, full of energy and glowing looks. Nowadays, it is somewhat strange to see an average 21st-century teenager who’s never been or isn’t in a love bond. They call it boyfriend and girlfriend and it’s been made so obligatory that there are some insecurities you feel when you are not in one. In my secondary school days, I could remember how guys who had no girlfriend were evacuated from groups in the class. Nobody wants to regard you if you’re not among. So, everyone seeks to have a love relationship even when they are far from the prerequisites. Having a love life in your teenage years isn’t a bad thing to do. Of course, there are folks whose relationship survived the storms and are now happily married. It works, but it’s almost rare. A lov...

Journey With My First Boo 2

Image
We started talking and he went to the issue of kissing but this time, he said he would not force me if I wasn't ready. I was deeply in love with him. (or so you thought) I closed all the windows so no one would see us and I said “Kiss me”. He kissed me and he said “let's have Sex”. {Insert mysterious tune here} I told him I was a Virgin and that there would be blood everywhere and he jokingly said, “how many tanks of blood do you have there?”. He told me there was a way he would do it and everything was going to be fine. I felt that I was ready and I was really going to have sex with him but I remembered something. My elder sisters got pregnant when they were teenagers and I was just 16 as at that time. I told him to stop that I wasn't ready. Then he stopped and told me he was leaving. That was the last time I saw him and the relationship ended. It has been 3 years since then and we haven’t been communicating. You can guess what my age is now, right. I am in my last l...
