All the calamities on this earth
Is the only enemy of man?
Keep watching for the sake of mirth
Watch the man made tragedy
The earthquakes and the cyclones
In the hands of this species
The epidemics and the storms
Laugh at these human clowns
Dividing man into clans
The color creed and sects
The hegemony of religious policemen
Have become the unusual facts
The wild hogs never kill fellows
The man is killing man
These superior species send to the gallows
In the name of human rights
And for the cause of democracy
Corpse laden ships are alighted
Here comes a new actor
Becoming an easy pretext
To suck the nectar
From the olden coffers of faith
And the precious mines
Spread underneath
The reaction and the actions
Of the sages so called
Are the sole selection
To avenge upon the mankind
In the name of this or that
After exploiting the innocent mind

Poetry: The right word
by Scott Scherr
We strive with pen upon intended path
Inclined to make the most of measured words.
A line can lead to streams refreshing
My tears fell

until a stranger
saw me and said

by Ted Sherman
How may one find the right word;
Never first, second nor third.
I just sit here and search my brain
‘Til it’s overcome
HONEST TRUTH
There he stood in the witness box,
a professor of English, no less.
Having placed his hand on the Bible -
only
Words Never Fail
A picture is deamed worth a thousand.
The right one? Worth a thousand pictures!
Alone, it marks potential
