Lucifer
Poem written for American Literature class. Topic: Hell
Lucifer
In the absence of light we fall -
the black descent
through the suffocation of night.
Walls enclose until escape is but a distant hope -
lost in the pit of deterioration.
The sun and his fellow moon fade -
consumed by the hate of man.
Only the waning hearts of a nation
beat their sporadic rhythm,
echoing throughout their final moments.
Jagged rock, shifting earth
crumble at the gates.
They open when one stands before
the molten keeper -
waiting for eternity.

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.
