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.

ANGER

By Kelsik
The phone rung three times in her office and she picked it up. At the other end of the line, a strange female voice answered, “please rush to Queens Hospital your daughter is here and she is seriously injured!” Before she could ask who she was talking to the line was cut. In her confused state, she rushed to the hospital and when she got there, she only found a corpse of her daughter lying on the mortuary bed. She died just a few minutes before she arrived. Liz was her beloved second-born child who only turned sixteen a few days before she died the most horrified and gruesome death. She had a deep cut in her skull and another one on the left side of her face. The beloved daughter was hacked to death by the very same person who was supposed to be her protector, provider, and shield. She lost her life in the hands of her own father! Upon seeing the body of her dead child she collapsed and fainted consequently she stayed in the hospital for the next two weeks and she missed the fune...

FACING REALITY

By Vincent Kumwenda
I have had problems recently to come to terms with some issues I face in life. I have tried to hide my issues to the world but to no avail. They still find a way to show their ugly face to the world.I am who I am. There are some things in life we need to face even though we don't want them. Facts will always be facts regardless of what our opinions are. Most of us try to live our lives in illusions. Preferring to show only the best sides of our lives. I have met several people who borrow clothes and other things from friends just to show that they are well to do when they are not. In fact I know of a person who managed to convince a girl to marry him because of materials belonging to his friends. You can guess what happened after the girl found out. Its a fact that some things that happen to us are not good to be known by our friends, girlfriends or workmates but to live a life completely different from what we are supposed to live is not good. I have tried it and it doesn't w...

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...
