No Excuse

No excuse You too can make it Rest not on your failures Try it once more Don’t ever give up Remember Michael Faraday Was termed “uneducable”, Yet electricity was his discovery Remember Nelson Mandela Was imprisoned, Still apartheid lost Remember Abraham Lincoln Was full of failures, But he implemented democracy Remember Ellen Sirleaf Johnson Was […]

Not Fair

It’s not fair those were the words that flew from my mouth as i pant down the allen i thought their was a law to appreciate the right and reprove all wrongs; i was wrong. The world we live in is preferencially unfair! I’m never commended for a good work but it’s mouth perk up […]
