From Bad to Worse



He remembers

When they 

Were about to

Get married

And he remembers

His soon-to-be

Mother-in-law

Sharing that

She wasn’t sure

That she’d

Be able

To attend 

The wedding

And he remembers

Learning that his

Soon-to-be

Brother-in-law

Would not

Be attending,

At that point

He knew

Quite a bit

And wasn’t surprised

By this behavior,

Things would only

Get worse

From there.

If the body told stories 

A scar is an anthology 
inscribed on my body
in delicate pieces, with
life’s treacherous ink.
My skin, once in its glories,
white as the sea’s frothy lip kissing the shore. 
It glistened, for it had never been branded 
by a brush or stained with paint. Until life raided, 
made a conquest on every inch, each territory a different memory.

After Jay Kophy’s: “If the body could speak.”

New Fridge

Dear New 'Fridge,
You are beautiful
You shine like a diamond
You make ice instantly
You are a genius 
You are enormous, efficient
But you devour things completely
You make me bend down to you
Almost in reverence it may seem
You are a hard taskmaster
You cavernous monstrous machine
You are giving me back breaking tasks
I am at times confused and at times concerned
Where's the butter, where's the cheese?
Did we finish the curry yesterday or is it lurking in some deep corner
Of your unfathomable depths
I scramble to seize
You have brought me to my knees
Now don't bring me to my dotage
You shiny silent efficient machine!

The Republic of Uzbekistan is known to many countries for its hospitality. The national values ​​of Uzbekistan do not escape the attention of any tourist or member of another country. Every nation on earth is distinguished only by its own traditions and values. values ​​and traditions did not appear in a day or two.

Every nation on earth is distinguished only by its unique traditions and values, naturally, such values ​​and traditions, which are the priceless wealth of every nation, did not appear in a day or two. The historical experience of mankind for thousands of years shows that it takes a long time for something to become a tradition, especially a value. Over the years, centuries, certain views, habits, concepts, and experiences pass the test of times and generations and become polished. If they are accepted, continued and become a tradition by the next generations, then they can now be called a national tradition and value.

Values ​​related to ethnic aspects and characteristics that are important for the nation are called national values. National values ​​are manifested in close connection with the history, way of life, spirituality and culture of the nation.

The national values ​​of the Uzbek people, which have been passed down from century to century, have been formed in a long historical process. For example, respect for the motherland where one was born and raised, not being able to imagine one’s destiny without this country, loyalty to the memory of past ancestors, constant respect for elders, maintaining modesty and dignity in any situation, in marriage Many virtues, such as special attention to cleanliness, form the basis of our national values.

Another topic is “Uzbek girls”. When we think of Uzbek girls, we think of girls wearing satin dresses with caps on their heads. Atlas fabrics attract every tourist. We can see satin bags, hats, clothes and shoes in our historical monuments and places.

Unaware! 

You lived in this life 
What did you find? 
What do you lose? 

I lost my valuables 
I couldn't find it! 
Bring them back! 

I've been looking for it all my life 
I couldn't find my valuables 
My values ​​are out of order 

Why are you without a tree? 
Silence is always the rule 
Why? Why? What for! 

I could not find you! 
There is always silence 
My question is unanswered 

I'm sorry mom...

I made mistakes before I could go far,
I put lies on the end of the truth.
I know I hurt you
I'm sorry, my dear mother.

I said sweetly to another,
When it comes to you, I'm back.
I'm here to apologize,
I'm sorry, my dear mother.

I'm trying to please everyone,
Your heart is fine, look, I'm fine.
I'll come back to you,
I'm sorry mom, I'm sorry.
