Too quick
I'm trying not to jump the gun
Definition on competition
Swimming so fast I feel so past the mission
I want to slow down perhaps maybe switch my position
Cause I rush so recklessly I discard my volition
Time slips by as I look for contention
My ticking continues and I explode before fruition
Am I going too hard to add in the distance
I'm blindsided to the potential of my overwhelming persistence
Fade into black my mind on a extreme lag
Like I'm underwater my power on overdraft
Digging deep but my conscience holds me back
Knowing that my over zealousness kills my swag

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.

My To Be Read List
I have been taking some time away from writing. I haven't forgotten about Vocal, the truth is I just have been too busy pursuing other things to write online and honestly, my little family and I just had a really hard month between the flu and a weird eye infection/cold circulating our house. I'm currently sipping some warm peppermint tea because my throat is sore.
