DIRGE FOR MY SCHOOL'S PROPRIETOR

-



I decided to write a poem for my recently deceased proprietor and this is what i came up with. Enjoy reading this.

I once knew a man who was very charitable,
One who would give out all including his table
and wouldn't mind using the floor provided others are comfy.
He was a man of vision and philanthropy,
A man who made great decisions in his prime
and kept free of moral crime.
He established a kind of education
One which is affordable by all with accommodation.
One with academic and co-curricular activities closely knit
Despite the rough journey, it has been sweet
We know you've gone to receive your reward,
But your memories and achievements forever remain inward.
You will be dearly missed by us all
And your name is engraved in the hall- the hall of fame.

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).
