Poetry from Kholboyev Mashrab

My mother’s prayer

My mother’s prayer — a golden light in my heart,

Whenever I fall ill, her words become my cure.

If I stumble — she becomes my support, wishing me success,

She prays for me each time I set out on a journey.

Even in the darkest night, she waits for me with hope,

If I have pain, she is the remedy — my radiant mother.

When my eyes fill with tears, she gently wipes them away,

One strong prayer from her — and my life fills with happiness.

Her words are simple, yet filled with deep wisdom,

In every prayer, she always wishes me victory.

“May my child be safe,” — with her hands raised in prayer,

She lifts my spirit, guiding me through shining paths.

My roads are long, yet I cannot always reach you, dear mother,

May my steps not falter — I walk the right path, mother.

Your son, in whom you believe, will not break, dear mother,

My mother’s prayer — forever my strength.

Do not ask of my wealth — my treasure is my mother,

Her prayers always support and protect me.

No riches in the world could ever equal this blessing,

As long as I have her prayers — my life is paradise.

You proudly say, “I have a son, Mashrab,”

Just wait, dear mother — my time will also come.

These days will pass — I am being patient, mother,

Always keep me in your prayers, my angel, my mother.

Short story from Bill Tope

Good Old Days

A part of growing up in the 1950s and 1960s was the average person’s easy access to things which made us feel good. For a few cents you could enjoy objects and experiences that, with the advent of a perverse capitalistic overreach, became rare and inaccessible. I speak, this time, of coffee, children’s toys and comic books.

COFFEE

For me, Saturday in 1960 is a moment frozen in time. I’m seated next to my father on a faux leather-covered stool at the lunch counter at Reese’s Drug Store in a nameless little town in Illinois. My dad consumes refill after refill of a so-called “bottomless cup” of coffee, available to all comers for ten cents. While dad drank his fill and incinerated a fistful of Old Gold filterless cigarettes, I eagerly consumed a thirty-five cent malted–two and a half glasses full.

What has happened to the venerable cup of joe? In 1960, a pound of coffee cost $.75; adjusted for inflation, that translates to $7.00, an increase by a factor of approximately 10. The price of a cup of Starbucks coffee is presently $3.65, an increase by a factor or more than 35.

And the bastardization of the brew: Starbucks has conjured a monstrosity known as a Super Venti Flat White, which they sold at least once, for some $148.99. What the hell happened to coffee?

TOYS

Time was when a youngster from the poor side of the tracks–like myself–could go to Goodwill or the Salvation Army Thrift Store or to a random neighborhood yard sale and score a coveted toy that only their more prosperous friends could get by conventional means.

Of course, there have always been collectors of rare or unusual items, but sometime in the late 20th century, middleaged men began scooping up GI Joes, Lincoln Logs, Erector Sets, Ponytail Barbies, Easy-Bake Ovens, Spirographs, Hot Wheels, Etch-a-Sketches and the magnificent Rock ‘Em Sock ‘Em Robots.

There is yet a lot of good play time left in such toys, but these men, who never had and never will have a date, hoard them, put them on a shelf and calculate their appreciated value. They stalk thrift stores, clutching price guide books, shoving little shavers out of their way. There oughta’ be a law!

COMIC BOOKS

When I was a little kid, comic books were fun, they were tradeable and they cost a dime. A nascent collector culture developing at the time priced an Action No. 1 book (the one that introduced the world to Superman) at the unbelievably steep price of $100. I would’ve had to save my meager allowance for two years to accrue such a sum.

The same volume today, according to a well-respected auction house, “can fetch” upwards of $10 million. Now you not only have to be an adult to enjoy this literary nicety, you have to be insufferably wealthy as well. To me, a comic book is forever worth ten cents. And you don’t slide comic books into plastic sleeves.

To inflate its price is to bastardize the institution of “graphic novels” and dump poop on a cherished part of childhood. Nowadays you can’t enjoy the comic book the way it was meant to be enjoyed, by reading it in the bathtub or under the covers with a flashlight; you have to solemnly observe it through a glass screen in an environmentally-controlled chamber, somberly awaiting the day that your comic appreciates from $10 million to $11 million. Yikes!

Poetry from Dr. Jernail S. Anand

Mortuary

History can never be repeated 

Same water does not flow

In the same stream 

At the same place 

We are all the time 

Doing nothing 

But creating 

Or harrassing history 

History which is in the making 

Wonders why  instead of 

Doing some good 

So that future generations 

Could be happier 

We waste days and months 

In recalling historical personages 

in the name of inspiration 

In their own times 

They did not look back for inspiration 

Time forced them to act 

And they did not lose grace

In the face of temptations

That is what makes them great.

What are we doing ?

We have no such sense of grace 

And spend our time  only 

Remembering their glorious actions 

I have seen history upset 

And irritated with such people 

Who instead of doing their duty 

Towards future, 

Drag the past heroes 

In the present who have 

Nothing to say about the future 

Of mankind 

Which is afflicted by AI.

History is like a corpse 

Kept at a mortuary 

We are doctors who visit 

The mortuary day and night 

And come up with our own theories.

Who  murdered whom and 

What was the exact time 

Corpses do not speak

Only thank us for doting over dead.

Poetry from Polina Moys

Give Your Kids a Happy Childhood

Give your kids a happy childhood,

Plenty of quality time together,

Lovely memories, joyful moods  

That they’ll keep in their hearts forever.

Our love and care, support and kindness

Are so important to young, tender souls.

The fleeting life often reminds us

To focus on simple yet meaningful goals.

Bestow your kids with generous presents,

Invest in hobbies, gifts, and talents.

Happy children are worth your efforts.

You’ll surely see their eyes shine like diamonds.

Bless your children with a great education,

Be their teacher, coach, and guide.

Develop a genuine, tight-knit connection,

Make sure you’re always by their side.

Give your kids a happy childhood.

As happiness is a beautiful merit,  

It will create a happy adulthood.

This feeling your grand kids will later inherit.

A Beautiful Day

What a beautiful day

God has given us,

His gifts will forever stay,

Never will they pass!

A radiant sunrise

Awakens the heart,

A glorious sunset

God’s masterpiece of art!

The heavenly blue sky

Protects from evil and strife.

It brings us peace and joy,

God’s promise of eternal life!

Seas, oceans, mountains, rivers,

Each country, every nation,

Even a tiny speck of sand,

That’s His, our Lord’s creation!

Give thanks to God, my friend,

His blessings are always there.

And may the Holy Spirit

Keep us in His care!

My Gift to the World

What can I give to the world today?

A warm and radiant smile,

The love that grows day by day,

The light of my soul that shines a long while.

I’ll help my neighbor who is ill

To clean, and shop, and cook,

I’ll make her a delicious meal

And read her favorite book.

I’ll teach the children who are in need

To read, and draw, and write.

Their future will be guaranteed,

If given a proper start.

There are always things that should be done

And I could handle that:

I’ll feed the birds, play with a friend’s son,

Or even adopt a cat.

What can you give to the world today?

You’ve got plenty of gifts to share,

And if you do it, day by day

You’ll be immensely blessed by God’s care!

Poetry from Elena Nedelcu

Feeling

The eyes of the daisies are looking for me, following me, and I feel so beautiful when the city counts my lost earrings…

The eyes of the green grass were two silver ones stuck in the circles of the mornings tired of musical notes…a longing…a re…a mi…

The moon’s eyes loved the tinkling of my heart when two grains of wheat rinsed their forgiveness…

They lifted me up, comma by comma, to the sentence with transparent temples that tasted of a corner of starfish…

I was a blue unicorn in a world of blue unicorns…

And where was spring?

Run barefoot through the soul of the sun…

Sometimes

Your hands weave time into a fan of cries and emotions…

A burning longing on a bench makes me more beautiful than going through wounds bleeding with love…

Now I know my name…it’s round and sticks colorful metaphors on its lips, to defeat youth…

I find you on my left shoulder and you smile blue, I will only give you one day, one century, the long-awaited hug…

A fairy gathers fragments of hope and teaches me how to fly with golden butterfly wings…

Bring me the breath of time when the sun will kneel in silence.

Thoughts

Thoughts forgotten at the table left a lilac flower on the hungry plate…

I counted two, three, bread crumbs and they ran away in a yellow hug…

I arrived at the seaside with a taste of myrrh through my funneled soul, towards the cries of sirens lost at the edge of the sky…

I roll my heart among ballerina steps and pains printed on angel wings, so I can convince you to share light with all the flowers left without lanterns…

Where are you?

Are you still begging for songs at the gate of the world’s questions so you can put the bat’s dreams to sleep?

Are you pouring more pieces of Heaven into my glasses so I can hear the laughter of the angels?

You bloom once more in every cell of the azure of the sky’s wisdom, and you will defeat spring…

Get home!…

For example, it has greatly helped in saving time when creating lesson plans, test questions, and assignments. Artificial intelligence also significantly improves the quality of education. It also greatly helps in introducing new directions into it. In particular, it has created sufficient opportunities to radically update the content and management of teaching methods. Online platforms have expanded for the younger generation, allowing them to receive education anywhere. Not only that, but convenient opportunities for education have been created in Uzbekistan all over the world.

Increasing the efficiency of the education system and establishing cooperation with other countries in this direction are being established. In general, there is a growing interest in our country in the use of innovative technologies, pedagogical and information technologies in the educational process, and these processes, having become part of a modern system, can give us the opportunity to become aware of world knowledge.

Large-scale reforms and state programs are being implemented in our country to introduce artificial intelligence into the education system. In particular, the resolution on the “Digital Uzbekistan -2030” strategy was adopted. According to it, it is emphasized that the full digitization of the education system and the introduction of artificial intelligence into the teaching process are a priority. In addition, in accordance with the Presidential Resolution PQ-358 of 2024. The Strategy for the Development of Artificial Intelligence until 2030 has been fully approved. It will train personnel, and the knowledge of the population in artificial intelligence will increase. A number of tasks are being set among young people. These reforms are greatly helping to transition our country’s education system to a modern and innovative stage. In addition, artificial intelligence has created sufficient opportunities for international cooperation and development, for young people in our country to go abroad to study, and to undertake new projects.

In addition, artificial intelligence plays a major role in helping new educators quickly absorb information, analyze it, summarize it theoretically, draw conclusions, and deliver it to students.

1. The use of educational complexes greatly helps the student to accumulate and store information about the process being studied, and to reveal the laws of the processes. This creates the opportunity for students to acquire knowledge independently.

2. In addition, in person-centered education, artificial intelligence applications can also be of great help in implementing a personalized learning system for students. It can analyze test scores, homework, and how well students have mastered, just like teachers.

It can also help in such types as tutoring and consulting. That is why we cannot deny the advantages of artificial intelligence, especially in today’s world. It is only necessary to develop this system and put it into practice. Through this, every young generation will not only have the opportunity to receive modern education, but also keep up with the times.

      In conclusion, the introduction of new digital technologies into the education system will develop our country in all aspects. Information technologies play an important role in raising a well-rounded and mature person. The introduction of artificial intelligence into the educational process will create much wider opportunities. In particular, the quality of education will increase, learning processes will become easier for young people, and teachers will save time, and opportunities for obtaining knowledge will expand. In addition, the introduction of artificial intelligence into the education system will also help our country join the ranks of developed countries. The opportunities created for young people will play an important role in our country’s inclusion in the ranks of developed countries in the future.
