A girl called Shimmer

A girl called Shimmer I once knew a girl, a girl called Shimmer She is one of the few friends I really remember I remember her hair quite brown and shiny and her gaze intimidating and scary. Her words, soothing when needed With an appearance of one to be loved Her eyes, big and lovely, Her face, cute but pretty manly. Her skin, tender and soft and she walked with so much loft. I miss our times together back in the days; when we would play and make the maize farm our maze, when we would go out and play in the rain and when we got to know why horsemen use reins. It has been over some time and we haven't met each other but I am sure when we do we'll spend more time together. Ohh Shimmer, Shimmer How I really miss yahhhh!!!! By Magnanimous Ben

WORDS OF A BEREAVED CITIZEN

Deceived by your swaying words we voted, We voted with high hopes which have been shattered, We expected positive results but got none. We wanted relevant changes but got irrelevant ones, We ask for security but feel more insecure, We expected less corrupt… but got more, We awaited constant power supply but got nothing near, Once, one was doing things right but what did we hear? We asked for our refineries but got subsidy removed. You banned the import of some foods and no alternatives were created. We hear we have satellites but it seems they  aren't  in use, We are bereaved but no longer want to be but want to live in peace and glee. Magnanimous Ben Happy new month and have a fulfilled week !!!!!!

PHOBIAS (2)

      I am back to enlighten you with some more phobias and their names. Ø Aichmophobia: This is the fear of sharp and/or sharp objects. Ø Neophobia: This is the fear of new things or newness. Ø Gamophobia: Fear of commitments, marriages. Ø Omphalophobia: This refers to the fear of navels. Hmmmmm quite weird. Ø Phobophobia: This may sound funny but it is the fear of fear or having phobias. Ø Sesquipedalophobia: If you find it difficult pronouncing this then you definitely have a phobia for long words which is actually the meaning of this word. Ø Coulrophobia: This is the fear of clowns. This is not just for evil clown alone. Ø Atychiphobia: This is the fear of failure. I’d like to believe most people have this fear. Ø Hylophobia: This is the fear of forests, trees or wood. Ø Mysophobia: This is the fear of germs, contamination or dirt. Quite unheard of to me.
