Ι do not belong…

All your life they teach how u must do, think, act, love, live, smile

All the years of education they teach how u must be present, dress, talk, feel…

All the time at your job they teach u how u behave, how u must seat, react, claim, interfere, communicate…

All that faces they teach me..make me feel that i do not belong

I do not belong in half truth

I do not belong in that small garden

I do not belong in the words that was never said

I do not belong in small boxes that keep the smile of the morning

I do not belong in shouting and bullying of the love, I never get

I do not belong in the uncertain possibilities

But i do belong in myself

And in the possibility of climbing a big mountain

Maybe never go to the top

But I do belong in my dreams..

Wishes

It shall be a festive day

When the Dawn shall come

There shall be Sun and Joy.

There shall also be a fair.

In the porch there shall be red roses.

Basil and myrrh trees.

All of them so dear.

For us

Life will start…..

Before you existed

You were a thought in my soul

Before you speak 

I understand your words

For years

Loneliness was my companion 

See the stars

Make wishes

Hoping 

Before i met you 

I knew your perfume

Before you speak 

I understand your soul

See the birds

Make wishes

Pray

Before you imagine 

I draw a circle

I see you in and me

Protected 

Blessed 

Before you kiss me

I feel your lips

Your body 

A fireball 

Burning me

Slowly 

Before i leave 

I will never say goodbye

Αbout love

Moon know nothing about love

Man know nothing about the love

The humans love each other as they remember the love they received

Love is energy

Love is free and everywhere

Sun know nothing about love

As exist

Sun keeps shine

Give light and brightness

Humans know nothing about love

Love is not selfish

Love is not take or give

Love is a small gesture

little thinks as a sparrow came to the backyard

Love is few

Love can be big moments

Humans cannot understand love

Nobody can understand the cry of a newborn baby

Love we learn by giving away

By respect the man

Cherish the woman

Worship God

Love we cannot see

Or touch

Love is in ever little piece in earth

Listen your heart

Love as your heart beat

With harmony

With truth

Love is freedom. 

Poetry from Danijela Ćuk

YOU ARE WORTHY

You are worthy, remember that,

and never doubt yourself,

no matter how hard it gets,

life truly loves you.

If they insult you, do not listen,

they are not worth your health, know that,

their actions speak about them,

so do not lose your shine because of them.

You are a living soul who deserves happiness,

and your own little oasis of peace,

do not let an empty body without a soul

humiliate you or make you feel small.

The beauty within is what matters most,

if you have that, you have everything,

what is the beauty of the whole world worth to someone

if in the end they remain alone?

What is all the treasure in the world worth

if there is no one to welcome the morning with,

if their heart is fed by cruelty,

and life may return it all tomorrow?

You are worthy, my dear,

because there is only one original,

worthy is not the one who lives with malice,

who is left with loneliness as their only company.

Be aware that you need yourself,

you exist in this world for a reason,

protect your health because no one is worth it

that you become ill because of them.

You are worthy, and I hope you will realize how much,

because you have a soul whose rays are like the Sun in the sky,

and a person without it is empty,

and believe me, no one needs that.

Essay from Inomova Kamola

What is Breast Cancer?

Breast cancer is a disease in which cells in the breast grow uncontrollably and form a malignant tumor.

It occurs mainly in women, but in rare cases it can also develop in men.

There is no single exact cause of breast cancer. 

However, several factors may increase the risk:

Family history of breast cancer

Increasing age

Obesity

Lack of physical activity

Alcohol consumption

Hormonal changes

Sometimes breast cancer can develop even without any known risk factors.

In many cases, the disease does not cause pain in its early stages.

Therefore, it is very important to be aware of the following signs:

A hard lump in the breast

Change in the shape of the breast

Skin changes that look like “orange peel”

Nipple turning inward

Bloody or unusual discharge from the nipple

Swelling or a lump in the armpit

To diagnose breast cancer, doctors may perform several tests:

Mammography – an X-ray examination of the breast

Breast ultrasound – an ultrasound scan of the breast

Breast biopsy – removing a small tissue sample for examination

Treatment options include:

Surgery

Chemotherapy

Radiation therapy

Hormonal therapy

The doctor chooses the treatment depending on the stage of the disease.

Can breast cancer be prevented?

The following habits may help reduce the risk:

Eating a healthy diet

Maintaining a healthy weight

Regular physical activity

Limiting alcohol consumption

Checking your breasts once a month for any changes

After the age of 40, regular mammography screening is also recommended.

Poetry from Dr. Jernail Singh Anand

Fingers Crossed 

I am thankful to the people

Who are committing evil

And getting disgraced 

I also have a storehouse of Evil

Thank God there are some 

Lighthouses of Evil

Whose presence obscures mine

Which I carry in little doses

While the world  believes

In spectacle 

And lionises only those whose 

Evil becomes public.

I am a petty inn keeper

Evil thoughts saunter in 

To spend a night 

And move off in the morning.

I wear great smiles 

Which ward off examination 

And help me pass for a gentleman.

Powers know I am useless 

So, they go for corporates of evil.

Who shine from afar and direct ml

Many a sailing bark of waters 

Where they are darker, denser 

And where chances of boot

Stand out as nearly certain.

Had they not been there

My evil would have come into notice 

Bringing disgrace to me

But see, 

I find evil centralised

In outstanding spaces

Which helps keep 

The general run of humanity 

Comparatively free 

From a sense of guilt.

Whenever a finger is raised,

I point my finger at the Lighthouse 

Making critics keep their fingers crossed.

Poetry from Mark Young

Stacked chairs & a regime change

Shirley Temple once said “I’ve 

led three lives,” a phrase not

to be confused with the story

of the FBI agent who joined 

the communists. Is said that

it was the FBI who funded the

U.S. Communist Party because 

there were so many agents 

signed up — 1500 out of 10,000 

at one point — & because they

were actually employed by the

Feds, they regularly paid their

dues. I can’t find anything Miss

Temple had to say about that.

In vain

I am spending my days — & nights —

either reading books, journals, & news-

papers, or watching free-to-air tv plus

everyone of the streaming services we

subscribe to, searching for an ending 

that I can pilfer. Certainly some of the

things I come across set off a certain 

frisson, but the ancillary requirements

tend to negate them as possibilities. As

example, I do not have five centuries

to get myself into the state of being that

is deemed necessary to reach Nirvana.

Meaning I’ll be going to bed hungry 

until the middle of next week at least.

The wars of the Hoecks & the Cabbeljaws

The dead woman appeared un-

harmed. Two young children 

wrapped in plastic were also at 

the home. A recording from the 

driver’s own car was taken into 

protective custody & confirmed 

that the suspect, renowned for 

playing complex women on the 

stage, faces an extortion charge. 

randomized eccentricities

Orbital eccentricities roam the

streets on foggy nights to see 

what the latest fashions displayed 

in shop windows are. But since

Rome wasn’t built in a day, they

are still there the next night, like

cats caught in a blackberry patch.

Late-stage excitation often results.

A line from George Lucas

The term “race records” was coined in 1922.

Policy disputes play on. Energy costs are

a significant concern. It’s my first time in

therapy, & we are very pigeonholed. If you 

don’t fit in that box, then it’s time to flip the

script. Politicians have scapegoated hand-

made artisans for decades. Record labels no

longer view music as a vital creative force 

& offer such shifty deals these days that art-

ists will never be able to make money from 

them. Backing bands are now made to stand, 

remove their headwear, refrain from talking. 

Poetry from Türkan Ergör

REASON 

Reasons occurs 

Sometimes 

To love 

To come 

To stay 

Sometimes 

To go 

Because 

To make these 

Must why 

is good for you

Perhaps 

Therefore occur reason.

No

Not everyone can be friends. 

not friends with everyone, 

not all indulgences, 

don’t listen to everything 

don’t accept everything. 

Not to bear all, 

never be silent, 

don’t go everywhere, 

don’t tell everyone everything. 

not to do all the work, 

don’t go against your will. 

don’t take bad, do not think evil, 

don’t give bad, 

not all competitions, 

not all behavior at all, 

don’t waste time. 

Don’t be weak, 

don’t lag behind.
