The Rainless Draught
Once we were filled with rivers and fishes
Our ancestors told us the story of rain and flood
The Bangalee lived on fish and rice
Now, the rivers seen like the migratory birds
In season or out of season
Sometimes, draught happens enough to burn the world
Sometimes water and water are everywhere
Deluging the land in the open sky
Make people and animal homeless surrounding all
Nature in us and nature outside
Responsibly goes to the conscience
Humanity sometimes played like instruments
In the clasp of nature –
The severe inhumanity
Sometimes, it played as a trump card
Winning the race, a common play in the world
We suffer from the pain in body or heat stroke
Or float on the land submerged by overflowing water
What’s the bridge of relation?Where the gates are set to hinder the flow
And the door closed for suffocating in the waterless rivers
People pass the days in torture for high temperature
And the rainless atmosphere
Would you please expand your hand?
O Creator!
We pray utmost to you
The mild temperature to go in the world you made for.

Acquiring knowledge is a priceless asset that demands persistence and hard work. Academics have compared learning to using a needle to dig a well. When someone acquires such a rare, asset, there is no question that the role that that teachers play is unequaled.
My intelligent teacher is Rahmatjon Muhammad Sabir. It has a great contribution in encouraging us to read books and in our love of science. One of the biggest lessons he taught me was to do small things and keep doing them. Every word is a lesson, and very action is an example. In my teacher, I see sincerity, discipline and strong will. He never spared his help for his students. He listens to each of us sincerely. For me, he is a modern, realist active acholar.
The saying ‘’Knowledge is true happiness’’ always gives me strength. True, this path is more complicated, but it is also noble in its place.
May God grant us paradise for the knowledge he has given us. May your knowledge increase even more.
HUMAN, DISCOVER THE HEART
History is made by human and by his actions. If we want an honest and clean world we have to let the facts speak to indicate the right path to follow.
Violence sows violence.
Racism sows racism.
Peace and friendship they sow peace and cordiality.
War and interests they sow war and destruction.
Knowing and judging history it helps not to repeat the errors of judgment.
If you ask you must give with the same measure. Nothing can be achieved by standing and looking.
To pick pears from the tree you come scratching your calves in the scab.
If cherries are good, don't forget: To collect someone spent effort.
When you drink ruby wine for lunch you can say thank you to the hands that picked the grapes.
Tomatoes, oranges and olives grow in the sun, the hands that fill the baskets are holy.
Human, in you the divine is stunned from the abyss. On Earth you are the master of your actions.
Our mission is a continuous vigil for peace. No one will ask you how you feel, maybe when it happens to you cry because you suffer inside.
Maybe then, on the border line between the abyss and life,
they will ask in an effort to feel less guilty of abandoning you,
considering you were enough strong to be able to fly by it self above the specially created precipice.
No one will ask you how you feel, only in front of the coffin will they say:
Poor thing, too bad he's gone so soon, he had a life ahead of him!
Yet the hand extended it was a false hand. Intentions had a comfortable return, because pleasure becomes self-satisfying and the need for a truth is formal.
You know, when they tell you how beautiful you are, how good you are, then turn to speak face to face with someone important?
Those moments hurt the sensibility like before an invasion and you feel practically at war with self-centered hypocrisy that he just turned his back on you.
No one is more important than the other and if we want peace we must create peace of mind for others too, around us so as not to do harm.
An infinity of words hurts. An infinity of words kills.
Few words will want to know who you are. Few words will tell you about love.
The very same few will define a hug. No one will ask you how you feel inside.
However, you believe in peace and justice for humanity.
The innocents dies on the streets, at work in front of the machinery
and in the countryside, or by criminal hand. There is no more security or peace!
Commitment to social policies vanishes in the smoke of firecrackers.
The innocent no longer have a voice. Let's defend life! Let's defend the innocent!
Don't be left with helpless hands! We who have made a complaint about our word we do not leave those most in need helpless. We write letters to the captains of the world.
They will hear voices if someone is not deaf. Life is a gift, peace is his right.
Do not waste the dreams of those who live on reality! The poet says nothing, however, he repeats himself and his voice multiplies
with the thought of him raising its echo to the sound of trumpets to heaven.
Silence is guilty of innocent deaths. The cry for life will never be sanctioned from a protest of the victims in the square, but it will be allowed by the applied law. Give us back life to the dreams of the innocent!
I bare my heart. For children torn or stolen. For the innocent dead.
For those drowned at sea. For human trafficking. For the sick with no cure.
For entrance blocks. For special people. For the poor. For the hungry.
For the thirsty. For the exploited. For those who live on the street.
For women with blood red shoes. For peace and against war.
For burnt or cut woods. For the debris scattered everywhere.
For the victims of the earthquake and tsunami. For flood victims. For damaged them.
For the unfortunate. For those guilty of nothing. For the victims of injustice.
Sometimes shoes break and the splinters stick into the flesh.
Sometimes life makes you kneel before an altar. You can't always be deaf to pain.
You wrap yourself in conscience and fight for the rights of others.
Being human is never a shame. What did you do right today?
Human, discover your heart to breathe the life and safeguard the peace.

ghost, breathing
I can
stand still
as air before
a thunderstorm
and feel my
footprints begin
to fill in
(though I have not
yet stepped
out of them);
I never did expect
to leave an impression
anyway

son has lunch waiting – two takes
on the spring beets he
found yesterday at the first
farmer’s market of the year –
when we return from
church, each prepared according
to the hues he sees
when seasoning: purple from
orange sections, from honeyed
pecans, a touch from
the beets themselves; red (deep, like
the wine we open
to play alongside his work)
from beef and asparagus;
the beets, far milder

I
have walked
that street all
sorts of befores with
eyes open (if not always
mindful of where I happened to be going) –
and yet on this grey Sunday it seemed new, a place to
be discovered, mapped into memory for the first time. It did not
last long, this sudden untethering from experience – two minutes, perhaps,
before I held the lines again – and still, hours on, there is a part of me that drifts and wonders.

on the Street of Dreams
- Joe Lynn Turner
The path of love is a Möbius strip; it runs ever
ahead, behind, between.
All steps are steps forward; all footfalls vibrate
along immeasurable length.
Where it passes over water, it gleams mirror-bright;
stars come down to see their true selves, tiny
ideas of angels by whose light we read and dance.
Where it leads through trees, they do not crowd.
There, it is paved with red bricks from old schools;
all leaves which fall to it become singing birds.
Where it becomes a city street, it is lined (on both
sides, two being one) with museums, with noodle
shops, with shaded places for quiet and chocolate.
Where it soars above dark ragged gorges, we who
love meet and are not afraid.
Arms linked in hopeful conspiracy, we look over
the edge, see ourselves waving back.

Forget inspiration; the only thing
the Muses really give you is a choice.
You have nine possible ways
in which to be devoured alive.
Please pick one.
There is no tenth option. Take up your
pen, your microphone, your paintbrushes
and give them a good show;
they do so like to be entertained before their
teeth meet through your heart.
This piece was accepted and will be published in literary journal Vita and the Woolf.
Poets Power
In the realm of chaos, we seek peace,
Where poets' words make conflicts cease.
With ink as our sword and love as our guide,
We stand united, side by side.
Through verses woven with care and grace,
We paint a world where hatred has no place.
In the tapestry of dreams, we stitch our hopes,
Binding nations together with poetic ropes.
Let the rhythm of our lines echo loud,
As we sing of love beneath the shroud.
Brotherhood and sisterhood, hand in hand,
Together we'll build a peaceful land.
So let us raise our voices high,
And let our words touch the sky.
For in poetry's embrace, we find,
The power to heal humankind.
Maja Milojković was born in 1975 in Zaječar, Serbia.
She is a person to whomfrom an early age, Leonardo da Vinci's statement "Painting is poetry that can be seen, and poetry is painting that can be heard" is circulating through the blood.

Abstract: Day by day grows importance of learning foreign languages in Uzbekistan. This article reveals role and place of a foreign language in live of youth of the XXI century. Keywords: Century, globalization, cultures, foreign language, social networks, modern techniques, language specialist, future, scope of thought, public policy.
At present, it is very important for everyone to know foreign languages. The process of globalization is increasingly taking place in the world, bilingualism is not just an interest, but also a demand of time. Even in state politics, the more languages the representative of that state knows, the faster and they are able to go on the path of perfect progress.
To what extent a foreign language is an important matter of reflection and what does it give us? This is how we can answer this question. First of all, it makes a person broadminded and has an influence on his external mind. Language plays an important role in the life of every person. You can travel freely if you know a foreign language. You will be in communication with people in a foreign state and you will receive insights into their thoughts. Knowing the language will be a great benefit if you also go out to a country. In addition, knowledge of a foreign language facilitates the use of modern techniques and social networks of the present day.
English is also a technical language. Almost 80% of social, remote networks are covered and explained in English. If the young people of the 21st century are able to speak a foreign language and speak perfectly, then our state will achieve its progress only to a certain extent. In conclusion, I would like to say that English and also knowledge of the Russian language is the key to a new opportunity for representatives of each field.
To communicate with people of different nationalities and from different countries in the world, several international languages are used. Among them, the most popular language was English and not by chance. After all, English is not just a language spoken in the US and the UK. Firstly, Ireland, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, many African countries and individual Asian states can be added here.
Secondly, it is more than just the language of individual countries. English has been designated as the language of negotiation in international organizations such as the UN General Assembly, the European Security Alliance, UNESCO, NATO, the European Union and the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC). Society has repeatedly tried to find an alternative to the English language. This was done in order to equalize the chances of representatives of different nations in learning a foreign language. These attempts led to the creation of several new languages, among which Esperanto became the most popular.
The author of “Esperanto” is Lazer Markovich Zamenhof, a linguist from Warsaw. The language was created in 1887, it took the author 10 years to develop it. However, at a certain point, development and popularization slowed down significantly. Presumably, the reason for this was that the artificially created language has no history, while English has a rich history and deep roots. After all, it was spoken, sung and written by great musicians, poets, philosophers. That is why today international summits and negotiations are held in English, the study of the world experience of colleagues in various fields and areas, important state documents are signed, meetings of presidents of different countries. International trade relations are conducted in English, the work of the financial and transport systems is carried out.
The role of the English language in the modern world is really great. It is studied in schools, universities, specialized English courses online and offline. Thanks to the progress in the field of digital technologies, everyone can learn an international language without leaving home. And such an approach in modern society is considered not just the norm, but a necessity. And this is despite the sufficient grammatical, morphological and lexical complexity of English for us.
After all, compared with the Russian language, English implies strict observance of the order of words when compiling sentences, and the structure of the language itself, although similar (unlike the same Chinese), still has many differences.
English belongs to the group of Germanic languages of the Indo-European language family. The number of people (native speakers) for whom English is native is about 600 million people. The number of people who speak English is over 1.5 billion.
Summing up the role, importance and relevance of the English language in the modern world, it is worth noting the following. Knowing an international language allows you to get more valuable information. Content on the Internet, films, music – all this is produced for the most part in English. Knowledge of the language will eliminate the distortion that may be present in the translation. In the modern world, not knowing English literally cuts you off from many achievements of civilization. You limit yourself to a relatively small dome of information and language instead of thinking more globally.
Again, most of the information on the Internet is in English (more than 54%). An international language allows you to get a decent education at a prestigious university, a dream job and full communication with foreigners from any corner of the planet. If the young people of the 21st century are able to speak a foreign language and do it perfectly, then our state will achieve its progress only to a certain extent.
In conclusion, I would like to say that English language is the key to a new opportunity for representatives of each field.
