Moon Song 

Necklace
I pinched metal between my thumb and forefinger,
and yanked
until my spine
s
l
o
p
e
d
and my forehead pressed against the carpet and
ached
with the
a
r
c
h
of my vertebrae.
I hung
myself

and hung the necklace
from myself. Leaving me
dangling,
until the etched metal etched
a strict tan line
into my collarbone.
And protected what's left of me
from the sun. The son
that I heard
had to be buried.
I hung
from her lips
“like the
Gardens of Babylon”
Giving and
taking
The Moon.
I tried to comfort me
with the
weight

of a 13 and a skinned hand and some
mountain
range.
on the chain
whose clasp
inches towards my heart
slower
and is turned
Away.
I pressed a song
into my forehead, forefinger, and necklace. A song
quieter now
a song
for
The Moon.

Whore’s Row

– Take the body, the body?
– What is your name?
– Some say queen of the night, some say whore.
– Is it the name of a girl?
-What do you do with it? I do not sell my name; sell the body. You can look a little differently. There is a special offer today.
Buy for one hour free all night! Incredible offer!

– What are you saying!
– I sell at the price of time.
– I am not such a man
– One in all men. Men do not hate women. Police, doctors, lawyers, leaders, ministers, industrialists, rickshaw pullers, are equal in one place. Here Hindu, Muslim, Vaidya, Christian do not have different taste ? Here is the song of equality.
– It is not right to talk like this. Not everyone is the same.
– I’m wrong again, I’m a whore. Well, what is a whore’s penis?
– I don’t know.

-Ha ha, you couldn’t? I know, you can’t. The night a man spends with a woman is pure. Pure men! Women are corrupted.
– Can’t you do anything else?
– No.
– No, why? It looks like learning.
– Lack, I  lack a lot . Lack of body folds. Lack of mother’s bosom Lack of father’s clothing. Education alone does not lead to employment. Money or Mama is must. I don’t have anything. I also want experience. However, I do not need experience in this work. Inexperienced people are more expensive here. Ha ha ha
– You talk too much.

– I talk too much but tell the unloved truth.
You sell talent and I sell youth. Both of them are sellers. Someone rapes the mind. Take the body, the body?
–  Does not it shame you?
– No, I was raped by civilizations. Fear of dying again. give me money
– What money?
– of my time.
– How much money?
– Five thousand rupees is very much needed. – Why?
-For my drug addict husband and sick mother.

– Are you married?
– By no means.
– Addicted husband?
– Yes. He helps a lot even if he puts his hands on it sometimes. It’s just a sign board. But because he is there, the vultures cannot dissect me at night.
– Take five thousand rupees for your mother.
– You are very good. Where to do it? Should you go to the hotel or your flat?
– You go now. I am not a man, but a good man.

-Even if you turn me away, some man will embrace me.

ADJUSTMENT TO THE DARK 

Accustomed, we no longer stagger, 
And we don't hold our hands in front of us 
trying to feel the shapes. 
We are already walking confidently 
through the darkness, along the roads 
which seem to have always been ours, 
and on which we know each one crease, 
salience and direction. 

Darkness can now be touched. 
We grab it; 
darkness is a loose earth, 
humus 
and it rushes through our fingers

RAINBOW

Rainbow over the sky
He is the symbol of our peace.
Seven different colors, seven species,
Bring us happiness and luck.

Rainbow, rainbow,
A sign of spring.
		Give flight to birds,
Bring us happiness and luck!

To this great Motherland,
Rainbows fit.
Your sons, your daughters,
The country is proud.

Let's be good friends
Let's appreciate the country.
supporting each other
Let's mature.

Rainbow, rainbow
A sign of spring.
Give flight to birds,
Bring us happiness!

“Towards a bright future without corruption”

Abstract: Establishing a free and prosperous life in the society without corruption. Joint fight against corruption, formation of human consciousness and rights. Offenses related to corruption. Key words: corruption, money, state, society, law, law, offense, substance, Uzbekistan, people.

The fight against corruption remains one of the most urgent issues of today’s world. The fight against this disease covers many countries of the world. The Republic of Uzbekistan also contributes to the fight against corruption. Currently, a number of anti-corruption programs have been adopted in our republic, and extensive work is being carried out on them. Corruption arises from the attitude of ordinary people to high officials or state officials to each other. Any manifestation of this negative situation will inevitably bring the society to the brink of destruction.

It is known that today corruption has become an international problem and very serious attention is being paid to this issue. A lot of work is being done in this regard in our country. For example, the law “On Combating Corruption” was developed by our country and adopted by the Legislative Chamber on November 24, 2016. Approved by the Senate on December 13, 2016. Article 2 of this law states: “The anti-corruption legislation consists of this Law and other legislative documents. If the international agreement of the Republic of Uzbekistan stipulates different rules than those stipulated in the anti-corruption legislation, the rules of the international agreement shall be applied.

It should be emphasized again that I think it will be appropriate if we work together with our people, in solidarity, in harmony, to create a free and prosperous life in our country.

  we have a head.  “The one who knows his story wins.”

                       Shavkat Mirziyoyev,

   President of the Republic of Uzbekistan

  Our respected President always works for the benefit of our youth.  Every day you live is full of joy and excitement.  The created conditions are a wing for us, young people, to conquer the heights of knowledge.  The works of such thinkers as Alisher Navoi, Zahiriddin Muhammad Babur, Abdullah Kadiri, Mahmudhoja Behbudi, Abdulhamid Cholpon, Munawar Kori, Abdullah Avloni, Ishaq Khan Tora, Ghulam Zafari, Abdurauf Fitrat are published.  What’s the best gift for young book lovers?  A person’s love for books since childhood.  Otherwise, the secrets of science cannot be mastered.

  Along with mastering the rare works handed down to us from our ancestors, we must expand our thinking and reach higher heights in science.  We must earn their trust.  A special love for national literature, like Alisher Navoi, who knows the value of the Motherland, like Zahiriddin Muhammad Babur, who creates immortal works, like Abdullah Kadiri, a strong playwright, like Mahmudhoja Behbudi, who has love for the Motherland, like Abdulhamid Cholpon, like Abdullah Avloni.  , research work related to the education of the younger generation like Munavvarkori. Patriotic people like Abdurauf Fitrat, who always went towards the goal and made a great contribution to the future of the country, the selfless work of Ishaq Khan Torah, and the thirst for knowledge of Ghulam Zafari should become an example for  our youth.  Today’s youth of Uzbekistan should be worthy children of such great ancestors.

  On the initiative of the head of our state, monuments to Alisher Navoi and Babur were erected, and names were given to the streets.  Famous Uzbek veterans were awarded the Order of Merit for their work on the path of freedom, independence, dedication on the path of freedom, as well as their contribution to the creation of a “national system of education and upbringing.”

Girlhood. 

I’m told girlhood is

short and sweet,

Girlhood means I am

meant to be,

I want to be,

sugar, spice, and everything nice,

and that is

femininity?

Picked apart and put back together

in every wrong order.

I am a girl, I am

fragile like a bomb

that lingers in the back

of my throat, bittering my tongue

like Tanqueray,

a mind rubbed away like

carpet burn, I am

pores clogged with

the spit of a man

trying to sink into my skin

a little deeper.

I am silent

as I try so desperately to

catch each tear and 

shove them back into 

my eyelashes so maybe

they’ll grow.

But I am as dank as my

washed up eyes

as they tell me

“you are a woman now,”

and I fear that is worse,

because the wreckage of

our worlds

looks a little prettier

when we are young,

before we can understand that

beauty is pain, and pain is the

true divine feminine

that I hate so dearly.

So society kisses my cheeks

in my final throes, lips wet

with the shame it spilt all over me

for being something as disgusting

as a woman.
