He said: If I could die tonight I would, just willing my heartbeat to cease, and breathing my last breathe, deep and slow, calm, a final release. I have tasted so many flavours, of hopes and dreams so sweet, Then doused in bitter flames and soured, I played this role complete. I watched the suns dawns and painted sunrises, a...

She watches from her window, She sees the never ending days rush by, She watches unaccompanied and unafraid, She wonders, she ponders, she dreams, She might go out there, one day.

Politics, News & Issues > Environment (Other) Is it fair to ask underdeveloped countries to "go green" when many advanced industrial countries owe their success to destructive environmental practices?: 5 of 29
