Poetry from Gabriel Flores Benard

You never know they’re gone until it’s too late.

The sun blossoms in the distance,

piercing bespeckled eyes,

leaving them in tears,

having never seen dying beauty before.

Sunlight takes eight minutes

and twenty seconds

to race across violet oceans,

to make its presence known.

Cosmic oceans drown the screaming.

We don’t hear the sun

because the voices would be deafening.

We are not ready to hear it cry.

We never know when the screaming halts.

We never know when the calls stop.

We never know when the requiem plays.

We never know they’re gone

until it’s too late.

Poetry from Brian Barbeito

one

the wild summer sun and the countenance of the earth 

the two men in Orlando were talking about baseball, and thinking of it, the two men in Nevada were talking about hockey. the first two spoke of spring training and the second two of drafts and players old and new. each time I went away from the group and tried to find what the landscape said. birds or the lakes, the desert sun or the vastness of rocky natural structures. they were not wrong per se, but they never looked up to see the sun, thought I. and the dusk would begin soon enough, and not having seen the brightness and the horizon, the firmament clouds say, and not having listened to the wind, then what would they do and what would they really know beyond statistics and local gossip? 

two

Cars and Stars, and Coyote Road Abridged, Destinies and Nonduality-Advaita-Vedanta

first I was a incarnated and then not long after I was in a little store on the south west side of an intersection that was almost always grey and dirty, unwelcoming and represented the tough and rugged parts of a metropolis and not the good aspects. I wonder if anything is still there where that shop was. I suppose something is there. in the middle was a huge display with toy cars. i didn’t want the cars and never thought of it,- not even one car and not even once. I just liked how it all looked. I was not identified w/the world in the way others were. Later I was gifted many, many toy cars and the person taking care of me stole them. 

decades later I sat with the two blondes on a large swing in the dusk in a northern town. one, the Piscean had long hair and one had short they were saying how the world was and were very smart. yes one was a Pisces and I don’t like Pisces but she was on the level and an exception. her eyes and her cheeks looked like a Pisces woman, as were the problems she struggled with. I told them they were great people the two of them which was true, but that i had to go. a few weeks later the one called me and I knew something was wrong at the first ring because she never called me. she was calling to say the blonde Piscean on the level woman was dead. she had been killed in a car accident by a drunk driver. 

I thought of how much I didn’t like cars much anymore, and I was soon under the summer dusk but the dusk would turn to night which is dark and the summer would turn to autumn which is less colourful indeed and the autumn or fall speaks of winter and it’s bold and cold and grey times that wait like a disease or an unfortunate or even tragic destiny.

beyond the towns 

In the denser parts of the town where there were more houses, more infrastructure, more electric light and other, there had been snow but it melted. Yet, not too far north of there where the town ended, an old brick church unintentionally marking a quick liminal way between the two, a church from another, simpler time,  well there began snow. and that snow, because no heat troubled it, stayed on the ground and branches and the whole world there… evergreens-sumac-stones, little streams, wide and narrow paths, birch trees, shriveling strange old mushrooms plus a myriad of other things of course,…and far,- so far in a distant field framed by beige reeds that danced just a bit for a winter wind whose end had reached them, a hawk sat at the very top of an old tree that was leafless. it surely surveyed the landscape stoically, sagaciously, and it looked for some reason that it had been there forever. how the hawk is loved more than the world. how the hawk means more than the whole world. how the hawk by the snow in the abandoned winter fields under the opacity of the firmament is then the world. 

four

those old leaves and the ridge or the valley floor

wandering along the old path. how old is that path and the surrounding ones and who made them through the summer way, the autumnal breeze, the winter snow wafting or the spring rain light and kissing the air? the aged tree, fallen a long time ago, off the ridge and across the valley floor, its root system exposed and looking like a thousand intertwined phantoms from an underworld unknown. up there somewhere, red sumac that receives the snow, and the sumac is calm, stoic, for maybe it knows something on the other side of drama or has never believed fully in the world. yes the blue sky peaks out briefly but soon, too soon, it is grey and overcast again. the evergreens and old leaves, the valley and ridge and the small and large paths see it through always. so shall we.

The sky is moving
The ant's gaze falls into the suggestion of life
Failure of life after adulthood

Older children are moving into the abyss
The abyss from which it all began

The iron tooth of a smile haunts the blind
The ash sketch of a heart beats like a real one

Who fell into whose life at that moment when a billion natural coincidences came together?
Gender, age, physical (etc...) contingencies of thought over the abyss of existence
Examination of immediacy, a patch of eyes, a rush of touch
And overhead the sky is in continuous motion

A boy is playing a game of war in a game of disappearance

Restoration of the sand from which we molded the largest palace

There are no butterflies visible outside or inside the stomach

And my grandmother will never see anything again

Dead daughter

What would I say to my daughter when war broke out?

Perhaps people are animals, but with the difference that people kill even when they are not hungry. Why kill a man if you can't eat his meat?

Perhaps I would have told my daughter that she is an adult and must form her own attitude toward what is going on.

Perhaps I could tell the world history of wars, if history were not a whore.

Perhaps I would have tried to explain scientifically what was going on.

Perhaps I would have said that over the course of thousands of years the human brain has degenerated and shrunk in size faster than it had previously grown in size for hundreds of thousands of years.

Perhaps I would be silent.

Perhaps I would have taken a piece of paper and drawn a human being in the shape of a bird. Surely, I would have drawn a cage for the bird.

Perhaps I would have bought a dummy gun at the market and pointed it at my own daughter to explain what is exploding outside the window.

Perhaps I would run away from home so I wouldn't have to look for my daughter to explain the inexplicable.

Perhaps I would have said: "It's okay, nothing's going on."

Perhaps I would be silent again. Or screamed. Or cried.

Perhaps I would have scraped a crushed ant off my shoe and shown it to my daughter.

Maybe I would apologize to all the children of the world for being a fucked-up adult.

Perhaps I would have torn all the toy soldiers' limbs off for clarity and honesty.

Perhaps I would have died.

Perhaps I would have told my daughter that there is nothing after death.

Perhaps I would have drank myself to death.

Perhaps I would have shown my daughter all the war movies of the world so that she would take a stand on her own.

Perhaps I would have written my daughter an e-mail explaining what was going on.

Perhaps I would have torn apart all the children's toys so that my daughter would finally understand what war is all about.

 

I didn't say anything to my daughter when the war started.

Because I don't and never did have a daughter: I only have the war outside my window.

Poetry from O’tkir Mulikboyev

Young Central Asian man with a white collared shirt and short brown hair standing in front of a pool in a park. Castle-like building and trees on the other side of the pool.

AT MORNING..

A soft voice roars from my window,

Whispering in my ear like a promise,

I wake up with open arms like a debate,

At dawn..

A thousand eager eyes are hot in my body,

The sun caresses and casts a sultry glance.

The heart is a lamp, the altar is waiting to make a bond between us,

At dawn..

A smile fills my face,

I run and wake up the steppes.

Take it from me, I have an eltar smiley,

At dawn..

The bird that hit my window is chirping,

Swallows swoop in and sing.

At this time, flowers bloom on the porch of the heart,

At dawn..

It lands on my face like a butterfly,

Sorcery removes hair and sadness.

In my chest, love insists, live,

At dawn..

My passion spreads into love,

A long way of appetite opens.

Life’s hand in my arms when I’m cringing,

At dawn..

If I write wings, the blue sky seems to fly,

The sound of the soul, like the melody of nature.

Is it the flight of a bird of dreams,

At dawn..

You ask for happiness, I ask for happiness, happiness in the palm of your hand,

Happiness is in your hand, I will shout mountains of words.

I will be full of enthusiasm, good luck eyes.

At dawn..

Poetry from Adolatxon Shermuhammedova

Central Asian teen girl with brown eyes and a white headscarf and a red bowtie and a purple and white patterned jacket and white long sleeved top.
One day I will escape to Heaven

 Push aside the disobedience for a moment,
 One day I will put an end to it all.
 Don't give in to the world and whims
 One day I will escape to Heaven.

 Unable to control my passion in time,
 I am afraid of Satan's temptation.
 I can't stand gossip and corruption.
 One day I will escape to Heaven.

 Revenge for wealth, for beauty
 I will leave a pile of everything.
 If you don't find it, you will be surprised and cry.
 One day I will escape to Heaven.

 My life filled the swamp of sin
 When I look at Mozi, I get scared.
 I miss you, my love for you
 One day I will escape to Heaven.

 Then you recite to me,
 I will plant flowers from prayers on my grave.
 If you hurt my broken heart,
 One day I will escape to Heaven.

 Passing through Sirat with my parents,
 I will slowly enter Rayon,
 After going through heavy and light questions and answers,
 One day I will escape to Heaven.

 I am waiting for you in Firdausi,
 Thank you, I will live there forever.
 If Allah wills, go my servant.
 One day I will escape to Heaven.

Essay from Chexrona Pulatova

The role and importance of learning foreign languages ​​of young people in the life

Pulatova Chehrona Sherniyoz’s daughter,

Samarkand State Institute of Foreign Languages,

2nd level student of “ Narpay Foreign LanguagesFaculty

Abstract: This article explains how important foreign languages ​​are in modern society, how much they are needed and their role in our lives.

 Key words: are foreign language, the framework of thinking is globalization. new culture and values ​​professions business

Learning foreign languages ​​is the best way to get to know and communicate with new friends and culture, and to develop a worldview. is a good tool. But learning languages ​​that are new to you is a very complicated process and you have to overcome these difficulties. Learning foreign languages is not easy, a lot of work is required. Nowadays, people learn a foreign language for a variety of reasons. Some learn for their work, others need to travel to other countries, and others learn because of their interest in the language, but the joy of learning a new language enriches our lives. Reading foreign literature allows us to learn about cultures and values, different customs and get acquainted with science and technology while communicating with representatives of other countries.

English is also one of the most important languages ​​and one of the most spoken languages ​​and one of the most foreign languages ​​that people learn. It cannot be denied that the English language is widespread in all areas of the world, because nowadays, when we talk through globalization, the internet or internet media, or when we watch TV, all channels, and listen to all kinds of radio, there are various videos and programs in English. We even have English channels. English is an international language.

The advantages of learning foreign languages ​​are increasing nowadays because learning foreign languages ​​is learning to really communicate and connect with others and it is a very important life skill. It can only be developed by interacting with people. When we learn a language, we understand what the people of other countries say through the words and examples we have learned, and this gives us extraordinary strength and our passion for that language continues to grow. It’s no secret that learning a foreign language can also improve your employment prospects. More than ever, campaigns do business in dozens of countries around the world, but they can’t do it without hiring people who know at least one foreign language. Even in small local campaigns, speaking a second language can set you apart and boost your confidence.

Besides, meeting interesting people and developing lifelong friendships are certainly goals worth striving for, and learning another language is a surefire way to speed up this process. Language helps us to express our feelings, desires and connect with other people around us and form meaningful relationships. but also acts as a momentary common denominator when you meet native speakers. Learning a foreign language makes you more open-minded. Learning another language is part of a normal liberal education. Teaching a person out. means to bring out of narrowness and darkness. But learning a foreign language and immersing yourself in a completely new culture and worldview is the surest way to become an open-minded, understanding, tolerant person, and it is absolutely priceless.

Nowadays, there are many professions that cannot do without foreign languages: These are translators – you can’t understand a language without knowing it. you don’t even know it has content. But to be a translator you need to know at least two or three languages. In addition, foreign language teachers, journalists, guides working with tourists. scientists, diplomats, as well as flight attendants and truck drivers. Currently, shopkeepers or restaurant clerks must also know the language, because they cannot speak their own language to foreign tourists who enter their store, and they need to know a foreign language to describe and describe the quality of the items in their store.

English also plays an important role in world trade and tourism. It is the language of many scientific conferences. Every educated person should know English; it opens the door to good work and communication with other people from different countries, I like to call English as “The Language of Communication”. Why two may be the question. Because all the people in the world use English to communicate with each other. It seems that they agree, because all the sites on the Internet, such as Telegram, Google, etc., and social sites, are conducted in English. In today’s globalized world, the ability to speak a foreign language is more important than ever.

As business and international relations expand across borders and become more accessible, the ability to communicate with people from different cultures will become a key skill for success. In this article, the importance of learning foreign languages ​​and how in our life. I will explain in more detail that it is important. The most obvious benefit of learning a foreign language is the ability to communicate with people from different countries. Speaking the language of our customers or partners in a business or campaign. helps build strong bonds of trust and foster good relationships. It also allows us to understand their cultures, customs, values ​​and business practices.

This is important in today’s globalized economy. In addition, studies show that learning a foreign language can also improve our ability to communicate in our native language. By learning a new language, we can improve our writing and speaking skills in our own language. we will be more aware of grammar rules and vocabulary. First of all, before learning another language, we should familiarize ourselves with the grammar of our mother tongue, and then we will not worry about grammar when we are learning another new language.

Knowing a foreign language can give us a competitive edge in the job market. Many campaigns are looking for candidates who can communicate with clients or partners in different countries, and having a foreign language on our CV can set us apart from other candidates. In addition, language learning opens up opportunities to work and live abroad. Experience is highly valued by many employers when applying internationally, and being able to speak the language of the country we are working in can make the transition much easier. Of course, learning another language allows us to meet people who can speak that language.

 A common way to do this is to find a language exchange partner. Communicating with someone in their native language does two things.It shows respect and it allows us to connect on a deeper level. In short, learning a language holds the key to new opportunities in the future for everyone. The more languages ​​we know the more opportunities open to us. The benefits of learning a foreign language will change your life and allow you to succeed in all areas
