Burst with Napalm
The freedom to speak is the cornerstone of a constitutional republic like America.
Freedom of speech is the round.
The firearm that sends a word
Is the pistol which weighs more than a pound.
It is a weapon once read or heard.
On the tip of each and every tongue
Is a missile and also a bomb.
When the guns are beginning to be sung,
The explosives burst with napalm.
Pens and paint brushes
Strike out against the page.
Microphones make rushes
And fill speaker systems with rage.
The blood drawn from knives
Is the ink that stains
When ideas cost lives
And a hero steps in and sustains.
To speak out for the good few
Is what every speaker should do.

Smartystan
The gleam from the streets of Smartystan sparked the brain. Platinum and diamond streets always seemed to drive thought in the city-state-nation. It meant that vehicles could rove over the avenues and boulevards with ease and become not a distraction but a reminder of how clean and well-kept even the alleyways and back lots had been.

Health Diary
simple health diary I write body signal patterns saves big sufferings. Most health issues arise due to lifestyle mistakes. So, from 2017, I started writing my health diary and changed my habits, avoiding allergens. In this way, I minimized my healthcare needs.
