The Chance Operations Of Short History And Features Of The World Literature Into Verse Paragraph
20 January, 2019
World literature is sometimes used to refer to the sum total of the world's national literatures, but usually it refers to the circulation of works into the wider world beyond their country of origin. Often used in the past primarily for masterpieces of Western European literature, world literature today is increasingly seen in global context. Readers today have access to an unprecedented range of works from around the world in excellent translations, and since the mid-1990s a lively debate has grown up concerning both the aesthetic and the political values and limitations of an emphasis on global processes over national traditions.

This may be a soliloquy my dear comrade.

When I woke up this morning, sweet,
I looked at empty space.
Your covers still were straight and neat,
your nightie flashed its lace.

A NEW HABITAT IN ANTARCTICA
Poet Chan Mongol
December 8 of 2019
...
Well, I think home spat me out, the blackouts and curfews like tongue against loose tooth. God, do you know how difficult it is, to talk about the day your own city dragged you by the hair, past the old prison, past the school gates, past the burning torsos erected on poles like flags? When I meet others like me I recognise the longing, the missing, the memory of ash on their faces. No one le

Education is a lucrative corrupt market BUT offered as a method of transmitting knowledge and insight,
Freedom is torture and terror BUT defined as the right to do and say what you like,
Truth is manufactured by powerful leaders BUT regarded as the opposite of falsehood,
Honor killing is an abominable heinous practice But adored as an honorable glorious event.

Bees they have become; flying rose to rose
From across the world these poor souls have come
Working like slaves with sweat upon their brows.

Well, an alive and very active 70,000 member internet pedophile ring,
"Operation Rescue" identified 670 suspects, investigation continuing,
230 known abused children in 30 countries rescued now in a safe place,
How in the world could 70k operate anything for years without a trace?

I 'stepped out' of the box today,
and to my absolute surprise,
there was a guy looking at me...
with hunger....in his mean eyes.

We are told that we have got freedom yet not freedom to do as we like
There are places we are not allowed to walk in or where we cannot ride a push bike
Which means that our freedom is so called since we cannot even walk where we please
Ours is such a limited freedom we are not as free as a breeze.

Brooding, the Devil studied his troops
Lying immobile outstretched in groups.
De-energised on Hell's burning plains,
Demoralised by unending campaigns.

Afflicted and overwhelmed by the crisis of life, you decide to fly
Many will die on the way, but your burning desire tells you to try
Engulfed by the sea, you struggle to survive
Driven from the killing sea, you stay alive
