Racheal Wyettey Writes

Before I travelled She was the Closest Lady Oldest Lady And the one I Cherished most And when I returned She invited me for Supper Perhaps the last supper And after the meal She smiled richly Or a smirk it was Then she asked What life has taught me I raised my eye lashes As though it hurts And shifted my chin Up a little bit Making sure My two eye balls Stare directly into Her two eye balls And then Pressing my lips As though it costs A fortune to share Lessons learnt in grieve I vomited the venom She poured into My very being And then I said If there is one Just one lesson That life has taught me Its no other than Never to trust The very ones Close to me Those with cute lips Yet with sharper teeth Those with heavenly eyes But uses it to charm Those that have long hands But rather takes Instead of giving Those with honey tongue Tongue that sweetens not But attacks like bees Those that embraces fast Just to stab me Those that flaunt T...

Dear friend,  If you can’t PROMOTE me,  don’t DEMOTE me.  My mum once said,  “if you need promotion, join the ship of friendship, it is the only ship for true promotion.  This has opened my understanding to the truth that, friends are supposed to  promote  each other, not to  demote  each other. Friends are the only ones who are tasked to genuinely promote without any expectations of reward.

Letter To My Dear Friend is a bit of  everything; fiction, friendship, fact, experience and wisdom. I wrote it with the aim of clearing the wrong mentality the world has created of friendship in the minds of the youth, building friendships and enlighten the young ones on what friendship should be about. And as the days unfolds, I will share each part of it with you. Read on. Dear Friend , If you can’t PRAY with me,  don’t PLAY with me. Gone are the days when we were naive, and saw certain demands irrelevant. As we grow, we come to realise that,  praying  is more relevant than  playing . We’ve come to acknowledge the power of prayer in our lives; not our prayer necessarily but prayers offered by others on our behalf.  Dear, sometimes, we need extra voice of power to be victorious in our endeavours. We need extra voice to remind us of the word, encourage us to go on our knees, and to intercede on our behalf. Have you ever come to a point in life where you wis...
