Last day of this year and of course my last post of this year. It was a good, bitter, complicated, arduous but a rewarding journey for me. This year was, a kind of turning point in my life, with new people, new goals, new destinations, new challenges, new lessons, new bitter truth and old good friends.
Earlier, it was a very easy going life, with some very good friends and life seems perfect at every moment of life. But, when I was exposed to the dark side of this, it was heartbreaking. When you grow up, you realize not everyone who is your friend today, will be yours after almost 10 years later. It doesn’t mean, people are being inconsiderate, but their priorities are changing, and so you’ve to change them, as life have many different chapters and all those chapters, can’t have the same characters always.

Other beings

by Chris Ernest Nelson
I feel a gravity in all living beings
enticing me to become them.
The rain falls on my frisking leaves,
my branches besotted with content.
The wind touches me as it lifts the
gull’s wings to greet the rolling storm.
I become the panting spotted dog,
tugging at his master’s leash, his feet
slipping on the puddled pavement–
The wide-eyed child on her mother’s hip,

markings are more intricate and more
mysterious than any poem. I am not

― Herbert Hoover
“There is no flag large enough to cover the shame of killing innocent people.”
― Howard Zinn
“They wrote in the old days that it is sweet and fitting to die for one’s country. But in modern war, there is nothing sweet nor fitting in your dying. You will die like a dog for no good reason.”
― Ernest Hemingway
The weeping song
Once I was a wild man afraid of nothing. Today I’m a old man who had found his world filled with men of lies and treason. A world led by berserkers who will leave only…

“Definitivamente, não há nada no Brasil que não esteja se tornando pior do que era”, pontua a colunista Tereza Cruvinel; ela assinala que “é consenso que uma das coisas mais bárbaras e desumanas neste país que já foi cordial é o vergonhoso sistema prisional, criticado por organizações internacionais de defesa dos direitos humanos”; a jornalista ressalta que isto deve piorar, pois o governo Temer baixou medida provisória que transfere 30% das verbas do Fundo Penitenciário para o Fundo Nacional de Segurança Pública; “O espírito da medida é algo assim: vamos piorar um pouco mais as prisões para tentar melhorar um pouco a segurança dos que estão nas ruas. Eles têm opinião e podem votar. É o pragmatismo da crueldade do ministro da Justiça, Alexandre de Morais”, frisa
