Ken Zhyloy
My parents have seen a lot, They came from a noble land. I came to life screaming loud, To tell the truth on the ground. From the meadows of blue land, I have collected butterfly song. My homeland is hotter fire than, Gave me power and fire in my soul. Mother Earth to you I am related, I drank water from dug well....

If you want a sampling of how cruel and inhuman we, who call ourselves human, can be… I’ll be frank…watch Ken Burns’s ‘The U. S. and the Holocaust’ and read Anne’s...

There’s crustaceans in my rations, And the krill are in my pills. There’s a prawn on my lawn, And all this gives me chills. There’s an oyster who is cloistered With a crawfish in a dish, But the shrimp is on the barbie, And that’s what gives me thrills....
