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!!!!

The storyline spans roughly 2-3 weeks, my guess being right.     The plot revolves basically around two couples, one affluent and the other poverty stricken. The story tells of the things that being poor can make one do and things that the affluent can use to lure the poor as well. It also shows how manipulati...

AND THE LOCKDOWN CONTINUES

  It's no news that the lockdown has been extended and even if the lockdown isn't charting it's full course in certain cities and places, movement and activities that we've grown used to are restricted. While the isolation may not be much of a big deal for some, I'm sure it has some bored to the wits and maybe at the brink of insanity (who knows?) While the lockdown persists, I have made another list. (Remember the last one? ) Limit the amount of news you take in: social media sure has its ways of bringing enlightenment and I'm certain you have been at the receiving end of a plethora of BCs here and there. Whilst some of these might be valid, there is always room for false news. Staying in the loop with what is going on shouldn't mean wolfing down every little bit of news that swings your way (especially without making your own findings).
