The parliament is dissolved they said
Elections within two months they said
Don’t  vote for the other side they said
The other side is corrupted they said
The incumbent is a liar, thief and adulterer they said
The other guy will pawn the country they said
They said they will give us money
And avail cheap food, education and medical
They said they know what they’re doing
They’ve been doing it for many years

It’s funny how they say a lot of things
Some very nasty, not fit for learned people
I just hope it doesn’t rain, so i can do my rounds
I just hope they buy my bread, buns and snacks
When six o’clock comes!
White, pastel colors
Red carpet in the chapel
Meeting friends and family
And some strangers we mingle

Everyone be seated
It is about to begin
The ***** starts to play
As the bride walks in

The groom stood up smart
And waited for her hand
The groom was told by her father
To take care of this beauty till the very end

The groom and bride said 'I do'
Tears were shed to those attended
Applause were loud to show their support
Wishes of congrats to the new pair were heard

The bride gave me a hug
So does the groom with a peck and smile
They expressed their gratitude towards me
For the love was bonded over time

I was happy yet a little upset
As he loved me so much, but
For his love will be shared
With a new sister of wed

Melia
My eyes were glued to the ocean waves
The tides were strong
Clashing over and over
It never gave up
So intimidating yet so comforting

It was foggy and the sky was orange grey
I took a seat on the bench beside two girls
They were best friends
Then I realized that
Being alone did not bother me anymore

All that mattered were the waves
So strong it could sweep up everything
Yet so strangely soothing
That it lulled me to sleep

When I opened my eyes
The waves came to me
Came up to my neck
It covered me like a blanket
That strange comfort

— The End —
