Photography

The Interesting thing about Photography is that it conveys a message in a concise manner but at the same time leaves alot of room for interpretation. It brings objects, subjects and situations into a focus where one can visualize. It educates the world through a combination of angles, speed, light density, apertures and all the technical terms photographers use.

In all, the photographer interpretes her surroundings from a certain perspective and can only hope that the lesson is being learned by those who see the photos. Maybe they'll see something that will catch their attention. Something that will intrigue them, something that will enlighten them, something that will elate them and something that will change the way the look at the world. For every photo we see expands our view of our world, giving us a deeper understanding of who we are as individuals, socities, communities and above all Humankind.

A Cry for Change

A cry for Change

In a world full of pain and calamity
Bestial with no amity
Seeking no end to its conformity
Let the words come crying
The world come singing
A joyous song of friendship

When humans are pointlessly slaughtered
On groundless fallacies uttered
With vehement convictions awfully fostered
Let the words come crying
The world come singing
A joyous song of friendship


When children die in poverty
While we care for our property
With no sense of dignity
Let the words come crying
The world come singing
A joyous song of friendship

When women lay bare their body in quantity
In shameless fashion of no magnanimity
Satisfying lustful delight of zero nobility
Let the words come crying
The world come singing
A joyous song of friendship


There is no need to be boastful
Of selfish accomplishments so pitiful
Mindful of no intriguing benefits to being helpful
Let the words come crying
The world come singing
A joyous song of friendship


In an era of overflowing potential
That seeks genuine participation so essential
In peaceful living without being inconsequential
Let the words come crying
The world come singing
A joyous song of friendship


Let the song echo in every locale and neighborhood
In a global reach of our shared human hood
Actions of the believers in universal brotherhood
Let the words come crying
The world come singing
A joyous song of friendship
