A Sad Day.

Today is a heart-wrenching day. I won't really post any composition 2day, rather juz 2 spill out my heart's content. These past few days, I've been rethinking my journey. Nobody knows when I started writing, but I still recall.

In 2005, I came 2 STAR. On that day we were shifting tables, as usual. That was the 1st time I stood on the top of the F6 block, facing the road. Most ppl juz see the road and part of the school, but I saw two different worlds. One of freedom and one of captivity. Then I realised, that was ME, languishing between the two. In neither heaven or hell. That day, I made an oath, that my old self was DEAD. I would live in the world of FREEDOM. for the years b4, I cried myself 2 slp every nite. That day, I started writing and speaking. I researched psychology and associated sciences. My aim: to proclaim this fantasy that I thought would eventually bcum a reality. My writing focused on Life, Death, Life after death, Love, Peace, Understanding, Hope, Joy and whatever is kinda dead in this world. My experiences were the basis for my 'knowledge', bcos I ddnt want anybody to be as I was.

Now, I look back. 4 yrs have passed. And as I look back, I realize, nothing has changed. Nothing, Not even MYSELF. Is this what my life is for? was I ever meant to be God's soldier, an advocate for peace and Love? I wrote countless pieces, all they said was, They never saw them. I shared my experiences, my deductions, accompanied by scientifical evidence. They said, who are you to say these things? Now My soul is broken once more. Even my family and friends refuse to listen to me. IS THIS WHAT I WANTED?

Of course, there are ppl worse off, but there are many like them... they noe what will happen eventually. Can the same be said for TS? Can anybody say, He cannot control this? Even I don't know what I can control.

Then a friend (I wont say who here) Was willing to listen. but the outcome? My observations abt her were proven to b true. I knew she was different, not in behaviour, but physically... Today she told me what she had kept secret from almost everybody.....

after school, I got the news. One of the Greatest leaders Holy redeemer catholic church ever seen has passed on. He was still healthy and zealous just 8 months ago. The, cancer came into the picture. within a few months, today, he has left. I know, he's in a better place, having fought for God all his life, silently, patiently, a man of his word, a loving husband and father, a man whose legacy lives on. What remains now is his family. His eldest son, a potential leader, is only 16. his widow is a housewife. I admire her courage. she never cried, nor cursed God. This day has renewed my strength. I'm going to prove, tht good people DO have good endings. Not in death, but the fact that what they have done remains, For 'One man cannot make a difference. The people that will rise up, and follow his zeal, they will Make the difference.

I am......

Hi Folks,

It's quite a while since my last post. Anyway, I'm currently working on a new piece, using my 'oh so old but tried and tested' method of using songs as a method of relaying Monologues or even conversations and thoughts. May be a while, tho, as this weekend I'm outstation, 3 days flying out the window and into the landfill. BBBBBUUUUUUTTTTTT, I managed to come up with this. Its entitled 'I Am', which uses common (almost all) occupations (except one), and the values which are (or rather, should be) upheld these occupations. however, each occupation has its own values, therefore the conclusion (Last line). It's not a poem, nor a story, but more of a reflective piece. I don't know if anyone has come up with this, but chances are, they most likely will be different. So here it is, in all its glory, 'I AM".



"I AM"

Who am I?

I am a Priest, giving faith to the faithless and hope to the hopeless,
I am a Teacher, moulding the future into strong, wise and tenacious individuals,
I am a Lawyer, presenting my case for hope of right judgement,
I am an Engineer, Laying a strong foundation before the ascent,
I am a Footballer, dodging and avoiding all that obstruct my goal,
I am a Doctor, Saving people to the best of my ability,
I am a Chemist, combining past methods to produce another,
I am a Jury Member, passing judgement only after listening to the entire story,
I am an Architect, designing the future of mankind,
I am a Mason, Creating the building blocks of creation,
I am a Psychologist, lifting up those who have fallen into despair,
I am a Policeman, protecting the public and upholding the law,
I am a Nurse, caring for all even in the least of sickness and pain,
I am a Fireman, extinguishing the flames of destruction,
I am a Soldier, sacrificing my all for the dignity of my land and comrades,
I am a Pilot, knowing the way to my destination even though I can't see it,
I am an Actor, showing realities and fantasies in my own unique way,
I am a Plumber, looking for the tiny detail that could have made all the difference,
I am a Race Car Driver, controlling my fragile life even though I may lose control,
I am a Sailor, braving the depths to broaden my perspective of the world,
I am a Prospector, searching for treasure where no one would even approach,
I am a Farmer, fueling the entire world by what I sowed and reaped through my own effort,
I am a President, leading my brethren through example in thoughts, words and deeds,
I am a Millionaire, rich in love overflowing with goodness, abounding with mercy.

But MOST OF ALL,

I AM WHO I AM.



Wow, that was long, eh? I keep adding as I go, even as I am posting this. Bottom line is, you'll never know when inspiration will strike you. Same applies to oppurtunities. So when opportunity knocks on the front door, make sure you aren't cleaning in he kitchen. So, please be patient till I finish my 'Project' which i mentioned above. Its MUCH longer than this, so wait for it!

This is William signing off, till next time!
