India ascent to mount everest

India ascent to mount everest
India known to be finest economy
But dead economy echoes nation-wide
India known to be military mite
But india is outweaponised by enemy's hypersonic jets
India known to be emerging hindu nation
But no reincarnation,no salvation
does India suffers from phobia of activities deficit,phobia of sovereignty deficit,phobia of height?
india's highest peak expedition without getting eaten alive

Corporation for Public Broadcasting shuts down after federal funding cuts

(  L A. Times  - A cogent and accurate commentary by Member - johntomas )



  You recycle a common but baseless accusation that NPR and PBS have become “left-leaning,” when in reality, what’s often labeled as “bias” is simply truthful reporting on deeply troubling actions -- including Donald Trump’s sustained attacks on

The Anvil of Stillness

They shout for a piece of my mind—
I offer the quiet, forged and cool,
Not shrapnel, not wildfire, not the grind
Of teeth on bone, but a deeper tool:
A breath that holds when the structure sways,
A root that grips when the landslide calls.
Peace isn’t the absence of the blaze,
But the choosing of water when fury sprawls.

It’s not

After Clouds Depart

She thinned to vapour, blue as longing's edge,
while we searched skywards, calling her lost name.
Wind replied in whispers no one could catch–
just hollow notes strung on a frayed thread.
Now dusk repeats her gesture: palms upturned,
spilling light where her shadow once poured.
We drink the rain, still tasting her farewell.

PHANTOM LIMB

(Verse 1)  
This empty room still hums your favorite song,  
Sunlight cuts the dust where your laugh belonged.  
I trace the cracks in every worn-out tile,  
Searching for your shadow one more mile.  

(Chorus)  
**I can still feel you like a phantom limb—**  
A ghost in every room,

MY INDEPENDENCE DAY

I wake to choices, mine to make,
No predetermined path to walk,
No scripted lines I have to talk.

This Fourth of July I celebrate
Not just a nation's founding date,
But my own revolution won
The day I chose to be someone

The neighbors whisper, "Strange," they say,
"Why live so differently this way?"
But their approval never fed
The hunger growing in my

How should a man bow?

Do insects kneel at the mire of a stronger foe?

Do pages turn themselves in fear of the readers will? 

Do the stars flicker in panic from the watcher? 

Does time relieve itself at thought of the forgotten?

Why then should a man created with the same flesh, blood & strength of the savior bow to such

On the 4th of July

Today, they’ll fire up the grill
For burgers, hot dogs, ribs 
And hungry guests will gather ‘round
To point and claim first dibs.

I will not be among them,
Though I’ll not be too forlorn;
My husband mashed potatoes 
And made chicken and some corn.

At night there will be fireworks 
But we will not attend.
We’ll watch a Netflix series
Where we’re

Farewell To Fair Play

The Gilded Age by Mark Twain in his 1873 novel /The Gilded Age: A Tale of Today, which satirized the era's materialism and political corruption is just what this King has ordered in his Megabill —Poetess

There was economic prosperity,
tho unconscionable social inequality
as a few “robber barons” tycoons
amassed great fortunes, 
whereas degradation inflicted dire poverty,

Oh Liza, dear Liza

Oh Liza, dear Liza. My plane’s going down.
I’m somewhere over the Pacific, but there's nobody around.
Nobody to watch as this hunk of metal falls
No one to weep as these blaring alarms stall. 

Dear Liza, my Liza. Now I’m going down.
It’s not valiant or brave like you hear of in town.
There was no gunfire, I’m just

Postcard, to a Friend from Twenty-Four Years Ago

They treated me for bipolar disorder.
I wanted you to know.

Although the doctors later said
it was the Adipex-p and weed 
mimicking 
an up-and-down disease—
it hasn’t happened since.

I still think it was more than that.

Hard to believe 
it’s been more than twenty years— 
that fourth of July,
when I read your mind at the Washington Mall,
and ran off
