Writing Manifesto
I've been using the time lately to develop my writing manifesto, my writing intentions, developing my writing methods. I don't know about you but, I seem to write for the pleasure of it more than for the sharing of it. I often write by hand and don't love to type and so, many pieces never find their way anywhere near a platform of any kind.

A BLUE HAIKU
In business, blue-ink pens are commonly used in contracts to distinguish between original documents and their copies. In school, depending on the type of paper one might be writing, a blue-ink pen may be required in order to prove that it is the original hand-written work of the true student in class and not of an associate from outside school life, a paid person, nor fellow schoolmate neither a friend. As black-ink is much easier to copy; and as such, most teachers are trained handwriting analysts almost like professional Handwriting Forensic Experts.

Achieving the impossible act of killing God.
Achieving the impossible act of killing God. By: Akil K. It is and has always been humankinds' ultimate pursuit to discover, unmask and kill their maker. Yet, most humans live in absolute fear of even expressing such a taboo statement, let alone walk a path that ends with the slaughter of their deity. Still, what is really being discussed is not strangling the creator of all things, but rather the abandonment of belief all together.

A BLUE HAIKU
This haiku was inspired by the color “Baby Blue”. This color often mistaken for the color turquoise, has been used to distinguish between having a boy or girl at birth (i.e., the boy wears baby blue and the girls wear a pastel pink). It has also been the symbol of distinguishing ancient and old families as “Aristocrats” and not just “High Society”, “Old Money”, "swinger" and/ or “common”.
