Poem: LOVE and GREED


Love and Greed
Juliet Fortich

I am alone
And I always feel that way.
I love to be with someone but I can never do.
Most of the time, my heart feels the longing…
It seeks for his time and his efforts so that emptiness will not go its way.

But sometimes, it comes with greed.
The longing keeps on prolonging until emptiness strikes.
What kind of love is it?
When it always sits
Just like one is talking to an empty chair
While waiting for the imaginary person to say what he needs.

Love! It is always the reason of every happiness, sadness and even tears.
We wish to love and be loved
We wish to care and be cared for
We wish to give and be given time for
We seek love at all times
That only the person we wished for be the person we have that from
But sometimes we can’t have it
For love sometimes is full of greed.

English Language; Key to Global Access

ENGLISH LANGUAGE; KEY TO GLOBAL ACCESS Juliet Fortich Language, this is how people communicate. Without this we can never understand each other. Language though may come in different ways. It may be by touch, by mere actions, sound and most of all through the use of speech. Everyone may be able to communicate with each other using their own way. But nothing is much clearer than speaking.                 People all around the globe speak different languages. Some speak British, some Italian, others speak Arabic, Korean, Niponggo, Mandarin and some speak Chinese. But nothing can beat the international language which is English. Who understands the languages I mentioned aside from English? Do you?                 English so far stands out from the rest. Go to anywhere in the world and speak different language beside their own and see if people understand. Speak English and you will be understood.                 Is English Language difficult? Yes for some who refuse to lea

ENGLISH LANGUAGE: KEY TO GLOBAL ACCESS

ENGLISH LANGUAGE; KEY TO GLOBAL ACCESS English is one of the most important languages in the world. It can even be said to be the single most important language. Though other languages are important too, but not for the same reasons as English is. Why? Maybe because it is the only language that truly links the whole world together. If not for English, we may not be as united as it is today. Modern English is the most dominant and  required international language of communications, science, information technology, business, aviation, entertainment, radio and diplomacy. The growing economic and cultural influence of the United States and its status as a global superpower since World War II have significantly accelerated the language’s spread all across the planet. A working knowledge of English has become a requirement in a number of fields, occupations and professions such as medicine and computing; as a consequence over a billion people speak English to at least a basic l

Motherless boys

             As I was taking a rest from my very tiring work one afternoon, two kids came to me and greeted me, "hi Teacher!"  I told them, "oh! I am taking a rest boys, why are you here?"  They both said, "we just dropped by Teacher to say hi!" "So what are you doing?" one boy asked?  "I am writing the grades on the report card."  I asked them, "so what about you both, did you pass for the next grade?"  One boy said. "only him," pointing the other boy, "but I didn't."  "Oh, I see, you were always absent in the class that is why.  May I ask why you were always absent?"  "Teacher, my aunt always tells me to be absent. Whenever I dress up for school, she would tell me to look after the internet cafe because no one will watch it. And if I will not watch it, I will not have fare."  "What a stupid reason that is for your aunt to say?" I s
