If Women Ruled the World
If women ruled this fitful world
Two hundred nations, fists uncurled
Peace would arrive on every shore
What mother sends her young to war?
No culture would demean its girls
With patient hearts each nation ruled
Wisdom dispensed like precious jewels
Crises resolved, esprit de corps
If women ruled the world
Testosterone, aggressive words
Fists and insults men will hurl
It would behoove them to explore
The path they presently ignore
The earth’s own orbit would disturb
If women ruled this fitful world

The Adventures of Larry and the Laughter Potion
In the heart of a whimsical village nestled between rolling hills and lush forests, there lived a young man named Larry. Larry was known far and wide for his quick wit, infectious laughter, and insatiable thirst for adventure. But despite his jovial nature, Larry found himself feeling stuck in a rut, longing for something more than the mundane routines of village life.

Death is a black hole. Think about it. A black hole is the corpse of a star, something once warm and bright, now come to the end of its life cycle. But some will argue that the cycle of life does not end with death. That death is merely another path we must walk once our bodies expire and our souls ascend. In that moment, when the fuel in the star’s chemical tank hits empty and the shiny matte coat explodes into supernova, the mass left behind – the corpse – becomes a black hole. We understand that, around such a vast cadaver, dimensions work a little differently in death to the way we’re used to in life. For example, light cannot escape the pull of a black hole when it hits the point of no return. That’s where it gets its colour. Space itself is contorted by a black hole. That’s where it gets its funny shape. Even time. Time slows right down the closer you get to it. The closer you get to a black hole. The closer you get to death.
