Poetry from Taylor Dibbert
Dinner in Colombo
He’s having
An egg kottu
At a random place
On Galle Road
In Colombo,
Trying to
Hold back
This massive smile
As he eats,
He loves
Sri Lanka.

Poetry from Devin Rogan
This Doesn’t Take Place In Florida I live alone in the woods but I am still less alone than Most people in human history Because I have a phone In a few days I will go to a funeral In a big city Where someone will tell me his life story He grew up in Florida Has returned to Florida It was hard for him in Florida Which sounds exactly like Everywhere else I have been to Florida But not for a long time So it is not part of my life story But most people have the same life story If you just insert your own details Mentally replacing “Florida” for Your personal “Florida” I have considered my life In its totality and strangeness More recently than I’ve been to Florida So basically I was in Florida If Florida is a metaphor For the place where things happened In your life story Instead of it being the state called Florida Sometimes I wait for a new life I wait for it to emerge from the trees I wait and I wait And it does not appear But that does not dissuade me From trying again at some point in the future At a funeral people will try and tell Someone’s life story Since that person is not there to tell it They do a decent job usually Considering it is not possible The World Where it Rains The rain is continuous and forever Nobody knows how long it has been raining It has been raining since we can remember So long that now we don’t call it raining anymore In the raining world I decide I will Quit my job and move far away Then go grocery shopping To celebrate That it will always rain Before anyone speaks to me they are beautiful In the aisles they are being beautiful They have come out of the rain to be with me And we will frolic among the groceries But then they speak to me And ruin it all I think of the specific flavor of candy I want to buy And I can’t recall the brand Or maybe they don’t make it anymore So yes, we can want things that are gone I guess We unconsciously pine for the sun That we no longer even remember Or who people could have been Before they started talking I think about When I move and When this is no longer “my” store I will love it so fucking much then But not before then Somehow That night it stops raining when I am at the gas station It is just me and the gas station Oh and also the guy that works at the gas station I remember that I miss everyone who is not me and the guy at the gas station In the world where it is not raining now It can be different Because when something changes you know It has just begun changing And soon it will be the rest of everything changing Forever And it will continue this way And I will move far away And be in the sun Leaves (Leaves) A mental image of me covered in leaves Exponentially decreasing in size relative to the pile of leaves Completely minimized by nature (leaves) Until eventually everything else becomes secondary to leaves To the massive foliage dome of leaves Nothing else matters but the leaves But these are just imagined leaves I made up for this poem So there are no leaves actually And the world is as it is And I say it is a pile of leaves In a poem about leaves Which is to say Metaphorically and not literally so
Poetry from John Mellender
No Word for It
There’s a paradigm of friendship between females
named sisterhood,
there’s a paradigm of friendship between males
named brotherhood.
The paradigm of friendship (everything up
to but not including sex) between people
of opposite sexes is a siblinghood unnamed,
but let’s call X.
The shattered man may win sympathy
from an unaccountably friendly woman,
feel her reviving his cadaver piecemeal,
feel her magnetize selectively
the fragments of him no more posthumous –
which shards, recalling prior composition
commence re-congelation now anew,
undevastated and rejuvenated.
What present could be gentler or more tender,
what surprise could nullify such grief?
What sweeter gift than life might some girl render –
who may withhold frustrate desire’s relief?
Remember how she loved you as a human
who cannot be your lover as a woman,
return her love in kind with some acumen,
flirt up some other babe. And watch your groomin’.
That Isis-girl who caused your resurrection
deserves your love to verge upon true X-hood:
all guys who have new life through her selection
experience enhancement of their sex-hood!
COFFEEHOUSE TRANCE
Motto: If the Pope is the poet of the Love God of Jealousy,
the poet is the Pope of Desire
Sinking into trance of automatic writing,
nothing of the coffeehouse coming through
but nymph-visions passing or alighting,
the dazed transcriptionist receives the new
afflatus with confidence he’ll get it down
in efficient-est simplicity.
He sees two couples about the town
in the haven of youth’s felicity.
They start comparing parents’ love-lives:
one girl’s was riddled with infidelity,
jealous harangues tanked up in dives.
The other girl’s own folks’ terse civility
was all they could spare for one another
ever since the Mother’s found-out fling
a decade prior made just some other
platonic mockery of desire’s real thing.
Now one of the two guys being juggled by
those two girls had a Dad mostly gone
and a Mom who hooked a bit, the boy nearby
in the next room while the revels went on.
The second dude, friend of the girls’ other guy,
had parents who were ever deep in love,
met not each-other’s straying with some wry
possessive judgment, but forgave – above
all, each deferred t’other in own bod’s claims.
All four offspring, in their a-quatre menage
to remake human love, bent modest aims –
staring Venus’s decolletage….
Sinking into trance of automatic writing,
nothing of the coffeehouse coming through
but nymph-visions passing or alighting,
the dazed transcriptionist receives the new.
…
Poetry from Christopher Bernard
Cosmos Then Cosmos spoke: “I have no end. I have no beginning. Nothing gave birth to me. Nothing will bring an end to me. I am everywhere. I am all that was, that is, all that will be. I am Eternal Being and Perpetual Becoming. I am peace and I am war. I am hate and love. There are two roads to find me: withdraw to the depths of your mind, the darkness where nothing outside you enters, and there we shall meet and be One. For you and I are One, and have been for eternity.” “But, Lord, you say there is a second road?” “Yes. Look at a stone, a flower, a leaf, a cloud, and let it fill your mind until your self has disappeared, and stone and flower and cloud fill you as though you were not there. And there you will find Me, and you shall know peace.” “And when I am weary of peace, and hunger for thrill and deed?” And Cosmos smiled his deepest smile: “Then you will find Me in flexing body, ingenious mind, in conquering will. I am the god of tenderness, and I am the god of power. I am changeless stillness and endless transformation. Nothing is lost where I am, nor is there any death: there is only sleep in dream’s eternal city. All things I am. Everything am I.” Then the voice vanished in darkness and silence of the night, and I listened and wrote down these words lest I forget. _____ Christopher Bernard is a co-editor of Caveat Lector.

Essay from Akhmadjanova Muslimakhon

WE ARE AGAINST CORRUPTION
AHMADJONOVA MUSLIM
Student of the Faculty of Philology
Abstract: This article discusses the fact that corruption is a powerful force that threatens the future of society and the nation and its history.
Key words: corrumpo, “Unbiased gifts”, Holy Qur’an, Hadith-Sharif, HEMS program,
Being is created so that it always keeps two contradictions in its bosom. For example, qualities such as good and bad, goodness and writing, justice and injustice are always alive in people. They cannot be completely destroyed, indeed, but we have the ability to prevent their occurrence.
Corruption is a powerful force that threatens the future of society and nation. It did not appear today or a few years ago. Its roots go back to the scenes of history. First of all, if we focus on the meaning of this word, Corruption – (Latin: corrumpo – bribery) is the practice of directly abusing the rights granted by an official for the purposes of personal enrichment. . It is completely wrong to think that there was no corruption in the past centuries, because we can see various forms and traces of corruption. Although it was not formed as paper money, since ancient times, jewelry, gold and silver, or animals were “gifted” to high-ranking people in order to gain power in the tribe or to occupy a certain position in the state system. If we look at the past of ancient Rome, even people were among these gifts. “Impartial gifts” destroyed not only human dignity, but also the entire society.
Although it was not called corruption in those times, historical sources testify that this process has existed since ancient times When a person commits to this cruel and terrible vice, he destroys not only himself, but also all the people around him. An example of corruption is like a spider’s web. Any insect caught in its web becomes food for the spider, and it is impossible to get rid of it. It should be noted that this harmful phenomenon occurs in all countries, regardless of whether they are big or small, rich or poor. It does not choose space or time.
There is no turning back for a person who steps into corruption, so who doesn’t like gifts and money that come without hard work? Only a person with faith and education can know that such things are forbidden. This phenomenon is turning into a vice as time goes by. This vice is the cause of impoverishment of a person not only materially, but also spiritually. What will be the future of young people who grew up eating the dirty food!? Aren’t these young people the future of society and nation? So, we are really ruining our future with our own hands!! A true Muslim who adheres to the duties and sunnahs of his religion, who has acquired manners and education, does not step into bribery, the so-called corruption. It was also revealed in the Holy Qur’an, which was the word of God: “Do not take other people’s property unjustly and do not bribe your governors from your property to take what belongs to others.” Even the Bible says: “Do not accept gifts, because a gift makes the blind see and changes the truth.” In the Hadith-Sharifat, it is mentioned that the bribe giver and those who receive it are cursed, and even the person who acts as an intermediary in the bribe will be cursed by God.
Corruption destroys the nation’s destiny and national identity. It prevents young people from being confident about the future. People’s trust in the state will die. A person who has been wronged somewhere, affected by corruption, may not return to this place at all, or he may return to this place intentionally to establish justice.
Prevention and fight against corruption today a lot of work is being done. In particular, on October 14, 2016, President Shavkat Mirziyoyev approved the bill “Combating Corruption” by the Oliy Majlis and entered into force on January 4, 2017. A lot of work has been done in the education system, which is close to us and not far away. For example, a new system has been devised in this field to prevent bribery and embezzlement of grades in the educational process. All higher education institutions were gradually transferred to the credit-module system, and today in schools the daily.com program, and in higher education institutions, the HEMS program continues to work and provides transparency in the educational processes of many of our young people. It is no exaggeration to say that these programs, which also ensure the effectiveness of teaching, have established justice in this field. Such and many other effective works are spreading throughout our society and entering the soul of the people and the nation. All methods are being used to fight corruption, as if it is not an area where corruption has not penetrated, and effective results are being obtained.
If the movement is done from two sides, not from one side, the finish line will be reached faster. In other words, we cannot fight corruption only through state bodies and effective laws. Implementation of these laws is not only the responsibility of the state, but also of us. It is the duty of every educated and moral person to eliminate corruption where we see it, not to touch it and not to step on this path, and by developing legal awareness throughout the society and acquainting each person with his personal rights. we will have eliminated the initial stage of corruption.
We young people are against corruption. We will create a just and great future, and on this way, the President’s trust in us young people, as well as every action they take for our people, the decisions they make, and our Constitution, which is the source of our happiness, will be the guide. Let’s fight corruption together. Together we will become an invincible force!

Essay from Sitora Mamatqosimova
One day in class…
As Allah bestows great miracles on our hearts, we need to live with a sense of gratitude for this blessing. gives…
I still remember the first day I came to work at the great dargah called the school… As I entered the door of this dargah, whose threshold is the paths of the paradise of knowledge, I was very proud to be a student of my grandmother, whose places are from heaven in my heart, and my kind teacher mother.
From the door of the classroom, I heard the excited shouts of the students: “Here, a new teacher has arrived.” I was happy with this call… We started the lesson with the young generation who always honors their homeland and discovers new aspects of creativity in themselves. First of all, I got to know the students.
During the lesson, only one student caught my attention. Congratulations, as you can see, there are always students who are not interested in class and do not complete their homework on time. And, I have come to a decision. As I got to know him better, I made sure that he also has interests and dreams. My student is interested in mother tongue, science, English. In his free time, he likes to draw and read art books. While he was talking to me, sweat covered his forehead, I felt that he was thinking about his words and talking shyly.
So, I found out that my student is shy and shy, he doesn’t even have a close friend. My classmates also confirmed my opinion. From that day on, I started helping my student with his homework, under the pretext of trying to get to know him better. And I always told him that he is not inferior to his friends, that he should always strive forward, believe in his own strength and knowledge. I dealt with the student. If you believe now, this student has become the most active student of the school. In particular, I was able to awaken in his heart a feeling of interest in special creativity. Nowadays, this student does not like to write wonderful poems and stories from each other. These are the words…
