Knife

Woodfall Words

Peace, harmony, laughter, love and lust
Ashes to ashes, dust to dust
Life turns death to life reborn
Syria
The wheel spins full circle
We are torn
Iraq
On the rack of our own device
‘twixt the Spirit and the Flesh
We are born we die
Afghanistan
We laugh we cry
Yemen
We engender countless Fantasies
to reap imagined reward
Saudi Qatar Oil and Gas
Alone we die into the dawn
Forever flawed!

Lacklustre brilliance
We remain poor children
Gone insane
Impassive to the Wretched’s
plight as they migrate
Birds without Flight
Wings torn Asunder
Europe
Drones, starvation, hunger
We are born we die
we laugh we cry
America your Freedom lost
we engender countless children
of our mind’s eye
yet still Cruelty prevails
Australasia
among one another and to our own selves
be we untrue blind and lie
Barrel bombs, Lamborghinis too
Luxuries of the select few
Russian intervention

Scientists have begun research into if a person’s odour can be used to diagnose Parkinson’s after a “supersmeller” detected the disease by sniffing T-shirts.Researchers from the University of Manchester will analyse skin swabs taken to discover if the debilitating disease changes chemicals found in the skin, according to Parkinson’s UK.The study was launched after a Scottish woman, Joy Milne, successfully identified sufferers by smelling T-shirts they had slept in. She could even detect subtle changes in smell in people who had not yet developed the condition.

I am so Proud of Presidential Candidate and former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton today. She is truly a role model for ALL WOMEN, all Underdogs, all minorities, all ethnicities, anyone attacked by the Powers-that-be. Hillary has withstood the partisan attack against her. This Witch Hunt – by the Republican sub-committee. Republican Man after Man after Man after Man after Man after Man after Man after Man after Man (ad nauseum)and some republican women attackers —  these Republicans are STILL attacking her) after Man after Man after Woman… are STILL ATTACKING HER for hours and hours and hours ALL DAY and are doing so RIGHT NOW!!!! — Which Human of us could withstand these (often) LYING and vicious attacks in one session.It’s Hillary, one Strong Woman, versus the Republican CLOWNS – snearing, glaring, yelling, attacking Wonder Woman Hillary Clinton. AND, what is Most illogical is that these SAME Republicans Clowns VOTED AGAINST increased support for security for our Embassies abroad.

As the Israeli-Palestinian conflict simmers, and political rhetoric exacerbates tensions rather than calms them, a different voice is gathering pace online. It isn’t mainstream, and it’s largely led by women.
