You Are Unique, No?

Something which has fascinated me for quite some time is this shared feeling many of us have, a feeling of internal friction. A part of us is pulled towards wanting to feel unique and feel like an individual, while the other pushes us to want to fit in and conform.  And so both forces, (asContinue reading “You Are Unique, No?”

Poem: Present/Future

  We only have the present. Regardless of what we want in our futures, It is the ‘now’ which takes all of the credit.   Living in the moment, An experience unknown to many. We disown it in exchange for a chance to oneday own a moment,  Which is nothing more than merely a ‘maybe’.Continue reading “Poem: Present/Future”

Poem: Time

  Time. Moving passed like  Dew dripping from the leaves of The waxiest cuticles. My hands, Gnarled, close tight, Around the memories, Uprooted by those of time.   Time, A spectre of the night, Time, invisible to the eye Of even the most profound inspectors.  I suspect. Expecting time to wait for, Any man. IsContinue reading “Poem: Time”

We All Do This…

Creatures of habit, copycats, primitive minds, call us what you will. The bottom line is that there are just some things we all can’t deny we’ve done atleast once in our lives, wouldn’t you agree with the below:   We’ve looked away so abruptly that we’ve almost given ourselves whiplash, so to make it obviousContinue reading “We All Do This…”

Why Are We So Ungrateful?

If you can read this right now then you have the ability to see. Sight is one of the most valuable senses us humans can posses yet paradoxically it is one we take most for granted. Too busy complaining about our bosses thinking they’re better than us or stressing that we aren’t earning as muchContinue reading “Why Are We So Ungrateful?”

Sexual Assault – Should We Be Allowed To Carry Weapons?

The air is frosty, I’m wearing open-toed heels as I briskly walk towards the direction of my house, it’s the small hours of Sunday morning, and a few seconds earlier I was saying bye to my friends at the bar. I only live 15 minutes away, heels are hard to walk in I tell myself,Continue reading “Sexual Assault – Should We Be Allowed To Carry Weapons?”

Male Suicide

‘Death of A Salesman’ by Arthur Miller The Young Vic’s adaptation of the 1949 play was simply faultless. So well executed was the storyline that I went home overcome by an aura of melancholy, unshakeable even by watching the funniest of comedies on Netflix. If you are unfamiliar with the play, it happens to beContinue reading “Male Suicide”

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”

Peanuts To A Monkey

They say religion is used to control the masses when really the truth is that it’s money. We give value to pieces of paper and metal, to invisible numbers forever changing in our online accounts. As humans, as a society, we have given value to something which if you really think about it is valueless.Continue reading “Peanuts To A Monkey”

We’ve all been in this position, you’re travelling late at night, maybe coming back from the airport or from burying your noisy neighbour once and for all, when you suddenly get a little peckish.
