The day of cupid is around the corner and I find myself contemplating one thing as a millennial dilemma Continue reading “What if he has kids?…”
Light…
The day the devil forgot his armour he met a warrior,
She was clothed in righteousness and cleansed by the blood of the lamb
She bore the whole armour, helmet, sword, breastplate, belt, sandals
The demon appeared on a train, eyes pierced and transfixed on her
He tried to overthrow her stand
He presented his cards of fortune and deceit,

Brexit, trump and Harambe, so much has happened that if someone said I could somersault it back to 2015 I would do it. Sadly in the middle of the roundabout I’ve been absent. I woke up yesterday only to realise that Mohamed Ali is no longer with us, when did this happen? Was I still crying over Prince…it still hurts.
