THE FALLEN HERO (R.I.P JACKO)

By Kelsik
Just as there's a thin line between love and hate so is also true with life and death. You meet somebody today full of life, the next thing you will hear tomorrow is that the man is dead. Such is the truth about life. Just this year I have been shocked by death news. The first was my uncle who after working the whole day on his house (he was building) with his builders, felt ill the same day night and he died in early hours of the next day. This shocked me. How can a man who was full of life die like that? He never had any serious health problems to justify his sudden death. The second one was my own friend Nkasa (not Joseph Nkasa) who died less the same kind of death. Now the recent one being Micheal Jacko Jackson. His sudden death has not only shocked me as an individual but also the whole world. I had been a fan of Jacko for a long time. This guy was about to make a come back starting from 13 July 2009 which could have seen him going for a tour and he was about to have 50 concerts in his tour. This I believe could have had a positive impact on his rather troubled life.

Jacko will be always be remembered as a hero in the music circle. His work inspired many into music like Usher Raymond and me. Today Usher is a great musician while I am a great listener. All sorts of bad things were said about him while he was alive but his achievements overshadow his mistakes. America and the whole world has lost a great talent.

Jackos' demise has confirmed to me that nobody owns life. Today is Jacko tomorrow is you and me. What legacy are we going to leave behind? Death comes to all, to The good, The bad and The ugly.

R.I.P Jacko. We will forever miss you.

TRUST

By Kelsik
TRUST “I just can’t believe that it was you all this time around. How could you do such a thing to me? You have betrayed me. You have let me down!” These could be the words of a man whose heart and trust have been broken by someone he/she trusted. Let us face it, it is hard to come to terms with the reality that the person we trusted with all we had betrayed us. In many cases, people we trust are the ones that betray us or let us down. Look at Peter who was the closest person to Jesus let him down by denying him, Judas plotted against him and handed him over his enemies, spouses cheating on their partners, husbands defiling their baby girls, leaders fails to fulfill their promises they made to their followers, men of God lying to their sheep’s. All these shows us that trust is always broken by the people who were suppose to protect and cover us. Cursed is a man who puts his trust in a man. Why is it so? Because men are, evil and they are filled with selfish ambitions and des...

SUDDEN DEATH

By Vincent Kumwenda
I have heard, read or witnessed suicide deaths before but it had never happened to a close friend or relative.But the recent death of my friend who chose to take away his life has had a big effect on my life. It has taught me a very important lesson that i will try not to forget. Sam had just graduated from one of the constituent colleges of the University of Malawi with a degree in Electrical Engineering. He was a very intelligent friend who i adored since our primary school days. He was just brilliant beyond explanation. He got born again in secondary and was active in youth fellowships. We all knew we had a strong member, advisor and a role model. He openly said that was a virgin even at 25 years and wanted to maintain that until he met his life partner. The unfortunate thing happened when he joined a group of friends for a workshop at Lunzu Trading Centre. We are told that he was convinced to sleep with a prostitute. (I don't know how one managed to convince him to do such a th...
