THE HOUSE THAT FORGOT HOW TO LAUGH

 There was no love missing in our house, because there was no love left to miss.That was our secret. We were not sad. Sad would have been easier.In House 24, 2nd Street, Germiston - the Molefes were perfect.6:00 AM - Alarm. 6:15 AM - Mom in the kitchen. The sound of the spoon against the pot. Same pot. Same porridge. Every day for 7 years. 6:30 AM - Dad at the table. Phone brightness on his face. He nods at Mom. Mom nods back. That's their good morning. 6:45 AM - Me and Junior. We eat with the TV on mute. Mom says TV at breakfast rots your brain, so we watch the pictures move with no sound.No one shouts. No one throws plates. Our neighbors who scream at each other at night - they have more life than us.We just... live. We pay. We eat. We sleep. We repeat.Then Mrs. Khumalo gave us the project."Grade 4s, for Life Skills this week: Record 10 moments your family laughed together."I took my pink notebook home like it was gold.DAY 1 - Monday I wrote the date and waited. Dinner....

Well-Done Chelsea

Drogba drogba drogba
He has done it for Chelsea again
He has done it for his fellow team mates
He has done for his coaches
He has done it for his sponsor Mr Abramovich
The pride of Africa
A hungry Lion, always dreaming glory
A winner who is always dreaming of wining

When Bayern Munich outwitted Real Madread in Madread
And the venue for the final  being in  Munich
Many thought the trophy will stay will in Germany, Munich
Little did they know that the real fate was awaiting
On the judgement day.
The Chelsea will lift the trophy, for the first time in history.
Glory Glory Glory Chelsea, Glory De Matteo.
The underdogs  have imaged the victors.
Praise be to God for the day has marked a new down
A new beginning, new UEFA Champions being crowned.

Watching the game,
When l saw the clock ticking the one hour mark
With the two teams reaching a stalemate.
I told myself the new Champs are going crowned
For the first time.
The first goal come in the 83rd minute. I still had it mind
That it’s not over until it’s over.
This game is going to be decided after 120 minutes of extra time
And like so it happened.
Didie Drgoba did pulled one back, to make the level plain.
Chelsea was back in contention.
And on the path to their first UEFA glory.
Thank you the Captain of the day Frank Lampart .
You fought tirelessly for the glory. For the love of the game.
For the your teams pride  to write a new story.
A story that l believe is going to be written again and again.
Till the end of time
Thank you Chelsea.
And the glory be to God for this marvellous creation.
Football, the sport that brings people of all walks life together.
From all  corners  of the world.
 And blessed be to those who make it happens.
