Under The Qasr El Nil Bridge – yaskhan


Under the Qasr el Nil
There flows the Nile
And I wonder if I could 
fill my fountain pen 
with thoughts I have never written .

The day comes and goes 
and when night comes 
moon and stars sparkle 
in night’s shadow 

Time goes by without rest
I am left to fate’s behest 
yesterday will not come back 
very soon tomorrow will 
take a crack. 

my life goes by like ocean waves 
hitting the shore with perfect octaves 
I cannot slow life 
I am just trying to find the light. 

Desperate the hope of hope can be 
neither time nor life can stop this spree 
maybe a beacon will shine for me someday 
as I walk the Qasr el Nil, I can feel the wind convey 
that my time will come 
so I cling to hope and let it stay 
as I walk the Qasr el Nil bridge 
I feel a sense of courage 
when I hear the Nile’s fluid language..

Peter Greene: Vouchers Are NOT “Saving Poor Kids from Failing Schools” | Diane Ravitch’s blog

A quarter-century after the launch of vouchers in Milwaukee, we now know a lot that we didn’t know then. The sales pitch was always humanitarian: vouchers, said its rightwing advocates, would “save poor kids from failing schools.” Except they didn’t. We now know, writes Peter Greene, that vouchers do not save poor kids from failing schools. They are a subsidy for students who were already in private and religious schools. Maybe that was their purpose all along…

कांटे / Thorns  – Kaushal Kishore

 

उलझे रहते हैं, 

कांटे अपने कांटों में ही,

लेकिन एक फूल जब 

आ जाता है उनके बीच,

तो कांटें भी निखर उठते हैं…

🌺🌺🌺🌹🌹🌹

Thorns remain

entangled in the thorns,

but when

a flower joins them,

they too embrace beauty…
