GRASSHOPPERS AND WATERBOMBS

Can you remember the last time
You were starving

And there was no food to eat 

You’d just settle for a glass of water 

A bite from the leftover bread 

And waited for mother instead

Can you remember the last note you wrote

The words and pen afloat 

Can you remember the last time 

It felt good to be sick in bed

Can you remember the smell

Of unsharpened pencils and new books
Erasers and envelopes.

Fresh uniforms and scissors

Can you remember the last time 

You spoke your name 

Can you remember 

How it sounds the same

What has happened

What have I really learned 

Can you remember the last time 

You were so lonely

The sight of your mother’s face 

And the silence made you so happy

Can you remember school 

How it made you feel safe 

In groups or threatened 

By classmates and fast friends 

Can you remember the last time 

You sung so freely 

That nobody cared 

How you sounded

Can you remember the scent 

Of grass at the playing field  

Every after class 

Ran all over 

Swimming on the green
Waves of laughter

Can you remember the last time

You stood and waited for the bus to come

That takes you there

And away from home 

Can you remember how light it felt

To be young and sorry, so free and careless.

Anymore

LOAD IT DOWN

I have been downloading stuff from the internet for months now. Who's not? I think everybody should do so too. It's practical for me.  Having to download songs, softwares, ebooks, and all almost everything for free. I do this so I won't have to keep thinking that I would regret not having listened, watched and read downloadable stuff. Downloading just meant that I won't have to be online everytime. I can read, listen, and watch stuff offline afterwards.
