Its Been A While

Wow...Its been a while since I've blogged or written a poem. My exams are officially over and the level of boredom has decreased amazingly *Cheeky Grin*. I'm a very indecisive person so its taking me a long time to decide what I want to write my next poem on even though I have a lot of ides. However it shouldn't take to long now. I'm getting closer to picking a good topic. Waiting for my exams results is so nerve racking. The weather is looking ravishing day by day and I think its time to give my wardrobe a make over. Yaayy. Hmm... well with the help of mummy's plastic friend called Mrs Debit Card.

I don't know why but I'm obsessed with Zara. I just love their clothes. I think half of my wardrobe is from Zara :D


For the time being, here are 2 outfits that look cool.

Maxi Dress: I bought this dress for summer last year. I only wore it once for a wedding. I'm 5ft (I know very short) so it was very long for me. I decided to do an alteration on it. A number of people said it looked gorgeous. I don't think I'll be wearing maxi dresses this summer. I don't know why but now I think it makes me look even shorter. oh well... I liked it then but its still at the back of my wardrobe :/


Maxi Dress: Zara


Super Woman Blouse: Hmv
Cardigan: Zara
Belt: Primark
Tube Skirt: New Look

Adios

Why Are We Ignorant?

While browsing through the internet, I came across a poem. This poem is not written by me, but after reading it,I found it slightly touching and inspirational. I wouldn't say I agree with certain points mentioned in this poem but I do feel it states the truth to do with the majority of black people based on stereotypes.


Why are we ignorant
To the things that we do
Like Black on Black crime
From the violence we brew

Why do we wear
Our pants hanging low
Like ghetto-ish bums
In a circus freak show

Why do we curse
And cuss like we do
And talk in Ebonics
Like the slaves use to do

Over four hundred years
Of shame and disgrace
We use the "N" word
Like no other race

Why do we leave
Our young ones alone
No family like structure
No house to call home

Why can't we prosper
Like Immigrants do
Who came here with nothing
And pave their way through

Why do we live
Such drug hungry lives
With gangsters and thugs
Packing guns and sharp knives

We seem to enjoy
Life on the streets
We work those slave jobs
Where pay is dirt-cheap

We live a life style
Of roach broken homes
Where trash and graffiti
And rats seem to roam

We don't get involve
In political laws
Nor do we vote out
Laws that have flaws

We're exploiting our music
With our sexual drive
Degrading our women
And destroying their lives

Our schools become jails
That we seem to fill
Like thieves in the night
We learn how to steal

So why can't we learn
Constructible skills
And walk the right path
To conquer all hills

Why can't we start
A new kind of trend
As Doctors and Scholars
And Builders of men

Why can't we sharpen
Our minds and technique
And show the whole world
That we are unique

Why can't we come
Together as one
So No one can say
That we were born dumb

Why can't we break
This bondage we keep
This hole that's been dug
So low and so deep

Why must we feel
It's been too many years
Wearing these chains
Of blood sweat and tears

And why can't we send
Our kids off to college and Uni
Its always been known
That strength comes from knowledge

We are destine to lose
This destruction of doom
The road of dead ends
These shadows of gloom

1 Prayer. To change
These things we do wrong
For it's tough being Black
And hard to stay strong
But Stick Together
