For Jason and his Argonauts, golden wool was theirs to fleece For the British, Iran's oil was theirs to drill and steal In '53 the West led Iran's democracy into a tyrant's peace Now we call the trouble since all part of God's grand will So many harsh lessons are learned in winter's darkest days Only to be forgotten as...

Road work had been finished for the winter on an asphalt strip north of town near a nature preserve. I said good-bye to the hotel owner and he invited me back although the town was a lifetime away from my home. We shook hands. The town wore its history well with a façade of an old west town complete with a jail and post...

"Democracy is the way" perhaps the greatest lie ever told or so it seems through my African eyes that have watched hope grow old. They say elections bring freedom that ballots are keys to chains but I’ve seen the vote become a veil while poverty still remains. What fills the screens are polished lies campaigns drenched in foreign languages while behind the stage are...

June 21, 2025 For the Beatles 'Lay it to Me' song Contest by Charles Messina The old iron curtain came down But soon a clown reclaimed the crown Ruthless and hollow-souled he rose Now a foul Soviet wind blows From the east it battered Ukraine Spreading such cruel and endless pain The past returns in blackened char “Back in the U.S.S.R.” ...

Christian daimyo, Yukinaga Konishi Born a merchant, became Commander of the Sea Granted favour by God and man Defended faith throughout the land The youth once granted his father's name An appellation that promised a life of pain Graven in paradoxical parts Warrior with a gentle heart Serving those who met cruelty with acclaim Defeat in war cost him his head But faith he held...

It is the way of the people, people like you, people like me. It is the way of the people, to want whatever they see. It is the way of the people, people like you, people like me. It is the way of the people, to take whatever they please. It is the way of the people, people like you, people like me. It is...

In all the books of history written with ink of blood and dried tears, There is no war that was not hatched in the shadow of palaces of power, Governments alone, like birds of prey sharpening their claws in silence, Independent of the hearts of people, for whom war is always poison. How many generations have marched on dusty...

How perversely exciting it used to be, in the months after you made your decision to abandon this hopeless situation meaning [rueful laughter] the UK, not so much the shattered bones of you and me I was still hanging on, a faithful puppy getting up early and heading out to Heathrow to provide the welcome committee and then I went straight to work?...

Within the threescore and six orbitz that span my lifetime... the impact of current Fourth Industrial Revolution (4IR), also known as Industry 4.0 revolution characterized by the fusion of technologies and explosion of computer sophistication like artificial intelligence, robotics, the Internet of Things, and biotechnology, blurring the lines between the physical, digital, and biological spheres appellation follows the First, Second, and Third Industrial Revolutions, which focused on...

You can lead a horse to water, but you can't make him drink You can present a man with evidence, but you can't make him think. You can push a rock up a too steep slope You keep sliding back, and you're at the end of your rope It's not that they're stupid, they might have a degree. Is just...

The world shows us one thing, but behind it, something darker lives. We’re told stories shaped by power, not truth. They write history to fit their plans. They call it help, but it's control. Rich men send poor men to die in wars over land, oil, and power. And we believe it's for freedom. Every minute, a man takes his own life. Every day. But where’s the...
