THESE SO CALLED FRIENDS
By Florence Chikumba
U6A, Royal College

The pain caused by a friendship marred is not easy to overcome. These so called friends have let me down. We all have certain expectations of our friendship, and when they fall short we feel betrayed.
You are my best friend but I don’t know you anymore. It hurts so badly when I think of what you have done, you never invited me, you never ring or call. Rather you have shut me out and lost the key to the door. I think that just says it all. In my awful dark despair I really thought you would care a note, an apology or even a hi, but you were too mean to use any of these powers. You carried on, it did not matter, but you had left me alone. To lie and cover up, I accepted slighted, forgotten and disliked and still I would be kind and gentle even under provocation.
I don’t think I needed to explain, I have fought enough for us and its now up to you, I no longer have strength. But my question is why? I guess such is life. I want you to know my heart is deeply wounded because you ate your words and decided to choose them over me. You need your space but I need your love to wipe these tears from my sad beautiful face.

Concert of Europe: Advanced level history

Edited by Mr Nyandolo Questions and Answers: Concert of Europe 1. "Its merits outweighed its defects." Discuss this verdict upon the Treaty of Vienna. The principal defects of the Treaty of Vienna wee four.  First it ignored national feeling for unity in Germany and Italy, and other peoples under the rule of States which they opposed.  Secondly it operated to discourage constitutional government in Europe.  Thirdly, it was a settlement characterised by a cynical disregard for the interest of the small States by the Great Powers who dominated the Congress.  Lastly, the settlement produced at Vienna failed to survive- a measure of its failure to solve the problems of Europe. By the treaty Germany remained, like Italy, "a geographical expression".  It consisted of thirty-nine separate States; and although these were organised in the Germanic Confederation; it posed no unifying power being dominated by Austria and Prussia, whose interests were to prevent a uni

The other syllabus by Sam Nyamuziwa

The Other Syllabus I had the lab science the ecology  of texts   and language  of the pages I like it all as my joy spilled with the test tube disasters and the teachers harmless roar like a trapped mouse than .I left the lab , vomited from the lab syllabus The streets ,they had me also A scuffle followed :the other  syllabus Bosses frowned at my heat lab qualification only to declare them rabble Then l pocketed them now a wounded lion l crawled through streets Streets that yawn in my face like starved ghosts turned bitter than a sick rat l gnawed at the remains of this civilisation that rots My comfort then lay in the rat-hole where husband ,wife ,child , pot ,fire , Mealie-meal share the same met and only mother’s empty nipple soothes  the starved gums of children who lie like discarded biltong in this raid of slain dreams BY CHENJERAI HOVE PUBLISHED  BY SAM NYAMUZIWA
