Writing and sharing is my passion. I like to explore life through poetry and share my take on life's endless highs and lows.
Passion
Jealousy won’t find a home in our hearts if we are passionate about where we are and what we want to accomplish. © Norma Bobb-Semple 2021
Class
Class is a fictional ideal. Equality is the reality. We can choose to live in our imagined states or we can open our eyes to what is real and just. © Norma Bobb-Semple 2021

We are caught up in the idea of a saviour that we become enamoured by the manipulative language of others. We are the saviour we have been seeking all of our lives. Promises aren’t a sign of commitment, it’s not what people say, it’s what they do. © Norma Bobb-Semple 2021
The Face of Terror
If you want to know how traumatizing it is to live in a terrorized zone speak to the terrorized, listen to their stories. People will do as they please as long as there is no accountability. The question we need to ask ourselves is: Are we stoking the fire or are we putting a damper […]
