On a Planet far beyond the influence of Earth!

On a Planet far beyond the influence of Earth, Prevailed a society, which did not persecute its people at birth.

Loser Writers’ Association

Good Morning all, It might suffice to say, I lost one more of those competitions and hence am writing this post so that I may be able to release my pent up frustration that had (for a moment at least!) forced me to hang myself with the noose carved from the literary thrash that I […]

Fettered am I to this land, Which lets me squat when I get tired of roaming its length. Fettered am I to the Constitution, Which at least lets me breath in between tightening the noose around my neck. Fettered am I to my leaders (politicians), Who let me curse them when I want to release […]
