 in South Africa. 
Could he spy on them? 
Was he thinking to join Brics? 
Could he interrupt the summit with his personal agendas?  
President  Putin could not participate to...

HI ALL,
STILL PRETTY SICK.
CAN'T SAY TOO MUCH.
MY VOICE HAS BEEN GONE FOR SOME TIME NOW.
IT'S TRYING TO COME BACK NOW THOUGH.
IT COMES AND GOES.
WHEN IT COMES BACK IT'S A HOARSE WHISPER AT BEST.
JUST WANTED TO GET IN TOUCH.
NOT FEELING REAL ENERGETIC.
GOD BLESS,
JB  ;)...

What I love the most about Poetry Soup-
The members on the site.
No matter from which part of the world they are,
Awe me by their write.

With poetic talent that is rare,
But comment without a trace of pride,
No doubt they truly care.

Even though...

Awakened by his father's phone
Call. "Damian get out of bed, on
Your feet man. We have to attend 
A conference at 10 this morning."

Sprang to his feet. He noticed 
Delilah still sleeping. He caressed 
Her cheek then...

Sadness, loneliness and grief,
As I still live in disbelief, 
Both of them are gone,
Under the church lawn,
Gone under the soil,
And leaves me in turmoil,
My aunt and my cousin, both dead,
Laying in a casket resting their head,
I love them both, not because their family,
But because making...

I was a picked on, 
bullied, browbeaten, buffaloed boy
from Buffalo New York.
I grew up on Buffalo’s lower east side,
the ghetto by another name.
The Frederick Douglass towers.
Formerly the Talbert Mall
better known as the Jefferson projects.
The home turf to a gang
called the Pythons.
It was a place
where angels...
