The Cockroach's Evolution: Acquiring a Life Beyond the Insult

The CJP’s journey, however, is no longer confined to the politics of examination failures and youth precarity. Its School Thik Karo campaign has extended the movement’s work towards accountability for basic public-school infrastructure, while its latest mobilisation has turned to electoral accountability.

Light up the wick of Conscience,
And the waiting lamp within,

Must there be little bits of everything,

Tears and Time and the Rivers

Rivers flow but they tell us no more
Where they come from , where they go,

How Arty is the World of Artificial Intelligence,( AI ) 

Is AI the  way forward, or
Out there to destroy Humanity,
 

Blue Moon

O waning moon, where do you go?
Why are you not on constant show?

Milestones

Milestones are milestones, mere distance recorders
How you travelled and journeyed unknown,
