The lonely world of machines!

AbbyNduta(ofso)

  How I got here, Is what I can never comprehend. Was it my best choice? Woke up this morning, Afraid, I got to face another long, Dreadful day! In the machine world! Machine one, My car, Yawn! I drive to the office, Machine two, My desktop. My colleagues, Too busy, Interacting with their machines, My presence too oblivious! And my greeting, Worse still, No response! I shake my head, After a long, Boring day, Back to my machine one, And get my tired, bored self home! Home indeed! The silence gets to me, Empty walls, And goodness, More machines, … Continue reading The lonely world of machines!

We are teachers, dignity is not an option,it’s an obligation!

AbbyNduta(ofso)

  Today, I read an article, a letter to the American government, from a teacher, and it got me thinking real hard. I am a teacher in training. After the Connecticut incident, indeed, it has occurred to many that a teacher doesn’t live for himself or herself. I have never been really proud to be a teacher in my country, and I never thought that this could be replicated in other countries, not because I really hate it, but because of how much this very profession is looked down upon. I wrote my first short story, titled, “We are Here … Continue reading We are teachers, dignity is not an option,it’s an obligation!

Very Important Words:Forgiveness, I am sorry!

AbbyNduta(ofso)

    Today, I learnt how important some words are, and I would like to share this with you!   So powerful,   So strong,   But wow!   They bring,   A freedom,   So profound,   So amazing!       Three words,   Saying them,   Made my heart lighter,   And put a smile on another person’s face,   And mine too!       One word,   It goes to the undeserving,   The ones who hurt us the most,   But it brings,   A freedom,   Unspoken,   Indescribable!       One … Continue reading Very Important Words:Forgiveness, I am sorry!

The Broken Road: Final Part!

AbbyNduta(ofso)

Here we are, on the homestretch, to see what precedes it, (click here for The broken journey part one, The broken road part two) enjoy the rest of the flight as I land you safe to your destination! Oh the fateful day, The sorrowful day, When you mentioned that, You were missing your football buddies! The journey to ruin and destruction, Had just began, Wee hours of the morning, Became your arrival hours! Sleepily, clumsily, I opened the door, Innocently inquiring of your where about, And the blow, That sent me reeling to the floor, Was to fast, Too sudden, … Continue reading The Broken Road: Final Part!

The Broken Road: Part Two

AbbyNduta(ofso)

  Here is part two, as I promised. (Check out The Broken Road part one here)   I could not help myself,   Dating we began,   Love was in the air,   Places we visited,   Time we spent together,   Always close,   Never apart!       The big day came,   You walked me down the isle,   A dream had come true indeed!   Really incredible!   The grandeur and glamour,   The excitement in the air,   Even the movies   It put to shame!       Marriage bliss,   Hand in hand, … Continue reading The Broken Road: Part Two

When I grow up…

AbbyNduta(ofso)

When I grow up, I wanna be….   In command you seem to be, And indeed you are! Everyone works for you! You are to give to instruction, And everyone else to follow! When I grow up, I wanna be…   You live in a good house, Your kids go to the best schools, You drive a big, flashy, trendy Merc Benz, Lavish clad your pride! Why would I not want to be…   You enter the room, And a sudden hush, The loudest of us all, Is suddenly the quietest? Speaking to you, In uttermost respect, Almost ascribing worship … Continue reading When I grow up…

How could you: Goodbye my love!

AbbyNduta(ofso)

I wrote this with a lot of pain inside, after I was deeply disappointed by my favorite artiste, whom I saw as a role model. I don’t need to go into detail; all the same, as usual a poet speaks best via?   Our journey began, Approximately three and a half years ago, When I first set my eyes on you, By sheer coincidence. How could you?   Didn’t know you had existed, I liked what I heard, And from that day, I adored you, How could you?   I always thought, You were all I had ever wanted, But … Continue reading How could you: Goodbye my love!
