Wailings of An Orphan (1)

Posted Today at 05:34 AM by omakingbogun (Omaks' Speakers Corner Series)
O My Sweet mother,
How i miss you so much,
Since death so cruelly snatched you away from us
I have missed you so much,

Oh My Sweet mother,
Your lingering smile i miss so much,
Your tender loving touch i ache for each day
I yearn for those words of wisdom you so often gave me

Alas, death, wicked one,
You entered our house in the dark of the day,
And away you went with my sweet mother,
Thou coward, thou wicked...

Credit Crunch Syndrom

Posted Yesterday at 03:44 AM by omakingbogun (Omaks' Speakers Corner Series)
When Paul didn't offer to buy breakfast this morning i knew something was amiss. Usually at work, we take turn to buy breakfast for the mob. The mob consists of 5 people, three women and two men (Myself and Paul)

Now there's an unwritten roster of who's turn it it to buy breakfast, and it's definitely Paul's turn. Niki bought breakfast yesterday, while i did the honours on Friday.

Anyway, Amanda must have been very hungry this morning 'cos seeing that Paul was not forthcoming...

December is here

Posted Dec 2, 2008 at 02:04 PM by Oluwato (Just musing :biggrin:)
Time sure flies... it's December! I made some resolutions this year and thank God for His mercies, I've accomplished them. I shall soon begin my end of the year "audit" and I have a little "shock" feel. It's December. 2008 shall soon be history and 2009... a really special year for me, shall be here!

Baruch atta Adonai Eloheinu - blessed are You o Lord our God!

A soldier's cry

Shells and mortars are falling
The scream of pain and anguish
Of the dead and dieing render the air
Dark plumes of smoke swirl all around me

I look back and remember
That beautiful night you were conceived.
I will not be there when you arrive
I will never hold you in my arms
I will miss your first smile, your first words,
Your first faltering steps as you totter this way And that.

I think of you as you lie cocooned
