A Solution For Stray Dogs
I am against neutering of animals. Who are we to decide about another animal's reproduction. But there are so many stray dogs on the streets. They thrive because of unchecked mating (ofcourse!) and on the waste on the streets. There have been many cases of children being attacked and killed by packs of dogs. Dogs can't hunt alone, but are highly... (read more)

She is
She drinks from my fountain,
Worships at my mountain
She weeds my garden,
And dusts off my cobwebs
She whispers in my ear
Talking about what she will wear.
She sheds a joyful tear,
Every time she calls me her sweet dear.
She’s everything a man would want
Her confidence alone makes me fall in love
She is the girl in the park... (read more)

He has made his home in heaven
above where moments are made of
dreams come true.
It is where the greatest power is love.
Michael is dancing with angels now.
They sing his songs
