Out in the sun
For one of them is the end of the road
Confident he opens the door
Driven by his undisputed resolve
Polished boots, immaculate overall
His presence was enough to mute the hall.
“It’s already been settle, at noon, blood will spill.”
You could hear people shouting
Placing their bets on someone else fate.
A whisky shot to soothe the tongue
Another one to gain control
“Come on you bastard, don’t make me wait too long.”
With restless fingers, blowing up smoke
One of the duelers was already out in the sun.
Walking slowly, hat in hand
Leaving his den of vice behind, toothless Jim spat
Pistol in his pocket, he never abided any law
At the sound of the clock
One of the two will leave this forsaken land.
Death wandered around the curve
Not even a whisper could be heard
Temptation road gets crowded
While lady luck danced with the damned
Facing each other
Without saying a word
One of the duelers takes out his gun
One shot followed another, you can only fear the worst.
A single drop nurtured the parched soil
Lady luck knew before hand on whose shoulder she must lean on
Without any remorse, one bullet went on through
It’s time for one of them to pay his dues.
The badge on his overall shone in the sun
His days as the strong arm of the law are gone
Where he’s heading we surely know
Once again the devil lost
He took one of his own.

What is the Taliban's plan to rule the world?
So, the Taliban and Al-Qaeda are still pretty tight, even though the Taliban promised they wouldn't let terrorists hang out in Afghanistan anymore. Turns out, Al-Qaeda might be using Afghanistan as a secret clubhouse to rebuild their crew, and the Taliban is probably cool with it. In other news, the Taliban banned Opium, but apparently Meth is the new trendy drug in Afghanistan. Meanwhile, women in Afghanistan are having a rough time under Taliban rule. No school, no work, and good luck seeing a doctor. Al-Qaeda has been busy setting up safehouses, training camps, and a whole network of fighters across Afghanistan. It's like they're building their own little terrorist Airbnb. Some Al-Qaeda members have been granted positions within the Taliban's administration, establishing loyalty between the groups. The Taliban says they want to rebuild Afghanistan, and they're hoping China will help them out. Speaking of China, they might throw some money at Afghanistan without even asking about human rights. I'm sure that won't backfire at all. The Taliban and other extremist groups have vocalized support for Hamas, but this should not be misinterpreted as support for all Palestinians. Meanwhile, the world's spies are keeping a close eye on Afghanistan, waiting to see what kind of shenanigans the Taliban and their terrorist besties get up to next.

OF MOTHERHOOD.
Dear mother-to-be, I wanted to let you know how very, very special I think you are. I don't think there can be any job that is more meaningful than the one you are about to begin, that of being a mom. You are the most important person in the world to your precious unborn baby, and you will be for many years.
