One Fine Day
By Dame Nita Barrow
One fine day I shall walk with my head held high
My back ever so straight

why we feel the need to come together with the remains 
why we need [...]

ready to jump

when a person jumps off a building, or a cliff, or a bridge, or a billboard (is this a phenomena specific to this country?) where does he look at the moment when his feet leave the safety of the solid ground?
does he look downwards and imagine how his body would splatter, visualizing the pattern his [...]
