 Erosion Of Trust

Beneath the banners that once flew proud,
Where voices cheered, their echoes loud,
A shadow spreads across the land,
A breach carved deep by unseen hands.

The pillars crumble, once held firm,
Promises break, their substance squirmed.
Each whispered lie, each hidden deed,
Feeds the doubt, a growing seed.

 Secrets Revealed

In the quiet shadows where whispers grow,
The seeds of darkness begin to sow.
A clandestine act, a deceitful scheme,
Hidden from view like a fleeting dream.

The world spins on, none the wiser yet,
But shadows remember, they never forget.
A lie can flourish where no eyes pried,
Yet truth is patient, biding inside.

You thought the night would be your shield,
That silence was the weapon you'd wield.
But echoes ripple through time and space,
Tracing the steps you cannot erase.

Can the Earth Be Sustained into the Future with Its Resources?

 

Introduction

The question of whether the Earth can sustain its growing population with its finite resources is one of the most pressing issues of the 21st century. This concern is deeply intertwined with population growth, resource consumption, and technological advancements. Currently, the global population exceeds 8 billion people, and projections suggest it could reach 10 billion by 2050. Resource demands for food, water, fuel, housing, and employment are rising exponentially, placing immense strain on the planet. This report explores whether the Earth’s resources can sustain its future population, identifies potential challenges, and discusses actionable solutions for a sustainable future.

Betrayal of Country
(A Poem About Treason in The Bahamas)

Beneath the sapphire skies and emerald waves,
Where whispering palms stand sentry over graves,
A nation born of struggle and of pride,
Now mourns a wound that festers deep inside.

The Bahamas, land of sun and sea,
Where freedom’s anthem sways with liberty.
Yet in the shadows, treason’s chilling hand
Has sought to poison this sacred land.

You've Made Your Bed, Now Lie In It

 You've Made Your Bed, Now Lie In It

Beneath the heavy quilt you stitched with care,
Each thread a choice, each pattern laid bare.
The fabric woven from deeds you have sown,
The bed is yours, and yours alone.

The mattress bears the weight of fleeting greed,
Stuffed with feathers plucked from selfish need.
No gentle down, but bristles sharp as sin,
A prick for every time you let darkness in.

The sheets you spread are colored by lies,
Each stain a truth that you failed to revise.
Wrinkled and twisted, no smoothing can hide,
The marks of betrayal that linger inside.
