All that glitters is not life
(Poesia)
27-04-2009
by Timothy G. Branfalt Sr.
My experiences, reappearances, times have been the same.
My grievances, my pretenses, all remain.

Life’s taken us for a ride on this silver platter-
Was...

(Opiniões)
6-05-2009
by Samantha Hodder
I walked through the jungle that day in June, looking at Freddy’s farm and all it contained. When he proudly showed me his coffee plants, I was unaware that he was one of the few organic certified farmers in this remote area of Ecuador. He then...
Finding balance in a stormy sea
(Contos)
29-04-2009
by Mike Ssegawa
Today, one US dollar costs 2160 Uganda shillings. A little petrol costs 2240 Uganda shillings, which is a dollar and some cents. That means that the prices of all other consumer items are skyrocketing in this part of the world.
While not so...

Oliver Twist
(Poesia)
2-05-2009
by Emperor Omorogiuwa Edionseri
O my boy!
O my courageous boy!
You weren't wrong to ask for more.
In truth, you needed more,
But sometimes the rules are fixed.
Though cruel, for you they can't be bent.
Be content with the little you got
Or lose what you aspire for and...

Our children are taken as slaves
And ceaselessly toil, enriching their dinner tables.
In their house of justice we are denied the very fruit...

(Opiniões)
14-04-2009
by Sharat Buddhavarapu
Today's economic crisis is real. Let’s face it, people: it may or may not be here to last, but it is here now, and we can do no more than deal with the now. The realization that we are not as all-wise as we have pretended to be, leads to another...
Who is listening?
(Poesia)
20-04-2009
by Jane Arwa
Who does the listening
When everyone seems to know it all?
Who will lend an ear
And hear the cry of the faithless?
Many are the afflicted
