MY PRIDE Published: September 01, 2026

You come back every time I close my eyes as if ten years have not erased your name. We walk the hill, your children at our side. A loose stone falls and echoes just the same. It looks like you but something is not right. The mountain light has twisted what I knew. A stranger wears your face beneath the sky, and yet it breathes the way you used to do. They speak to me now kindly since I left and have no voice to answer back with truth. I know I never held the common touch. I carry that, but I am done with youth. You laugh and say my pride was

La Fontaine Published: August 09, 2026

La Fontaine wrote his fables late at night, long after the world had dimmed its light; so he cannot claim the credit alone— his wife deserves some praise of her own. For had she kept herself busy with women’s affairs, he’d never have written of crickets and ants. Had she but focused on him for a moment then, La Fontaine would have written quite differently, amen.

Rough hands foreign amongst dime, Earned their throne through paths unknown to me. A thin veil which conceals, Like a viper slithering low, shedding its outer layer to what suits him best.

Still I stood Published: August 04, 2026

In the heart of the flood in a village swallowed by mud… there drifted the corpse of a promise washed free from the grave of betrayal. Billions upon billions vanished into the roads the led nowhere… bridges built for ghosts and dams that held back nothing so when the rivers rose in fury… it swallowed the poor. "You should be ashamed!" cried the king from the palace... his voice thundered against thieves while the keys to the treasury jingled in his pocket for the truth is… he is the king of those who butcher the nation and to t

Marcy and the Mysterious Button Published: June 14, 2026

Marcy found a button On the table by her juice. She said, “I wonder what this does…” Then pressed it—without a clue. The toaster started dancing, The fridge began to hum, Her backpack sprouted tiny legs And marched off just for fun. Her cereal bowl was barking, Her socks began to glow, Her goldfish sang an opera In a voice both deep and low. Marcy shrugged and pressed again— She thought it looked quite cute. Now everything is normal… Except Marcy’s playing flute.
