Sitting at my desk in the office yesterday morning, everything was just peachy (or so I thought). Despite my eyelids occasionally closing over due to boredom, for the rare moments I decided to forcefully will them open, I could see as clear as day. But for some reason or other I decided to winkContinue reading “I Thought I Was Going Blind”

Question Time
Although some may argue that my elevator doesn’t quite reach the top floor, I do have my sporadic occasional moments of wishful thinking I’ll have you know. And in those moments of synaptic wildfire, curiosities and peculiarities roam the plains of my mind like migrating wildlife of the African Savannah. Just some of the questionsContinue reading “Question Time”
The Time I Almost Went Blind
I think back to this horrific memory as a result of having incredibly dry and itchy eyes for what felt like every living second of work today.

What Does It Mean To Be Human?

Who wouldn’t want to stick around and bask in the glorious sunshine? Whether it’s key to a long life or not, one thing’sContinue reading “Want To Live Longer – Get Yourself Outdoors”
Poem: Climate Change
My limbs gnarl, sap suffocates my lungs as I gasp for another breath of the smog. I’m losing my fight for life. For centuries I have supplied oxygen to your veins, now you remove it from mine? In times before you uprooted me, and spoiled the very soil I laid upon. Now you turnContinue reading “Poem: Climate Change”
Poem: Disability
Disability It’s all about perspective. To you, I’m Dissed. Disadvantaged. Dismissed, before I even get a chance to. Whether I’m ‘weak’ in the mind, Or ‘weak’ at the knees. Your mind’s made up, Before I even get a chance to plead. You judge me on appearances. Refuse to look beyond my disability.Continue reading “Poem: Disability”
See The Signs
I write to you with one eye open this Monday morning, not two, one. if any of you recount the good old game of Animal Crossings, you’ll remember fondly the big ass ballooned eye your little character would receive from a bee sting (Google it). I, my friends am that character. But it wasn’t aContinue reading “See The Signs”
