The worst form of pain you can inflict on somebody,
Is not through the use of sharp blades,
Nor through the use of metallic bullets.
But through harsh words and thoughtless acts,
One can snuff the flames of love, hope and respect for another.
One can throw another into the deepest pits of Hell.
Nevertheless, bearing in mind that
Retaliation comes not in the form of sharp blades nor metallic bullets,
But in a promise that - Revenge is a dish best served cold.

Dear Diary,
Fate does like to teach me a lesson now and then.
Today, I have learnt that family is no longer what I have thought it to be.
Parents are no longer a child's pillars of pride and support.
Siblings are no longer trusted confidantes.
The word 'Family' has lost its special place in my heart.
The ideals have been shattered.
I am now horribly disillusioned.
Today, I have lost a Mother.
Someone whom I have always looked upon with much respect and love.
A lady who, in my universe, is unparalleled.
Today, I have lost a Sister.
Someone whom I have always doted on, despite the harsh words.
A baby who has constantly been sheltered from the brutalities of the world outside.
Today, I shall walk the world on my own.
I shall rely on my strength and my strength alone.
Though I may have lost two of the most important people in my life,
Today, and henceforth, I will show them how well I can survive.
Yours bitterly,
Wi|dChi|d

Modern Slavery
The slaves of old were bound,
By cold metal chains on their hands
And the heavy ball of iron at their feet.
The slaves of today were bound,
By a few pieces of paper
On which endless terms and conditions were written.
The slaves of old were to be seen but not to be heard.
They dare not complain,
For fear of being whipped or badly hurt.
The slaves of today do not fare any better.
They could not act nor speak freely,
For fear of breaking their rice bowl or being jailed.
The slaves of old had Abraham Lincoln, William Wilberforce
And several others who worked tirelessly to free them.
Yet, who is there,
To stand up for the slaves of today?
By cold metal chains on their hands
And the heavy ball of iron at their feet.
The slaves of today were bound,

And several others who worked tirelessly to free them.
Yet, who is there,
To stand up for the slaves of today?

The Best of Both Worlds
Is it a matter of greed?
Or naivety?
Is it being too ambitious?
Or idealistic?
Is it the perfectionist in some of us?
Or the refusal to admit defeat?
To want to have your cake and eat it.
