IDEA CONSERVATION

  We love to think that we gave life to honour, to passion, to love. That may be so, but 

A spilling of blood, sprout. 

Animate us pushing flower blooming, but don't know what kind of flower
Some may eat us. Some will erupt and kill us
Some can't even grow fully

It has been a year since the seeds stopped sprouting. 

The boy by the sea sat on a bench, clutching his bag with his head bowed. A mass grave lay buried below him. the coral reef, an entire ecosystem. 
Man forged values 
Gave life to honor 
Courage 
Love 

But time of death: began almost as its birth 

Today I saw a Miracle. A sprout of the righteous. 
Amidst all the deaths my generation has wrought unto this earth, you have given me new life. 
Life is sprouting again. His tears were trickling down his cheeks. Don't fail it. 

Reclamation 

The race began the moment he awoke at the starting point. He was running, that's good, but running in the wrong direction. The judges call out warnings, shouted at him to turn back, but that just made him run faster. He was soon gone beyond saving. Wouldn't it be better for him to stay still rather than to move further and further away from the goals in life? 
Every step he took in the wrong direction cost him dearly. 
He had to accept his flaws, to stop following his own instincts and learn the rules of the race.  
Perhaps he will earn reprieve 

when people talk about traveling into the past, they fear of radically changing the present by  doing something small. 

He got up, and dragged his heels into the building. The lights in the elevators dazed him 
I've.. been trying to avoid you 

 restrict restrain 
An Ashwood Stick, raining ribs with pain 

 goldfish's perspective from its bowl, watching cult members disembowel people to bring fertility to the land again.

ABSURDISM, EXISTENTIALISM, FREE WILL, POSTMODERNISM

 After the war, Introduction The first world war threw society into a state of disillusionment, and a fracturing of the staunch belief in morals became prominent, sparking literary advancements that challenged romantic ideals, advocating for a new perception of stability and sensibilities. In the poem Gerontion by T.S. Elliot, the modernist stance of fragmentation and the pursuit of purpose lies in man’s actualization of himself. Meanwhile, Samuel Beckett’s waiting for Godot written in the post-war environment of World War II can be viewed as an attack on modernism, rejecting its ideological claims to legitimise purposeful meaning that interprets the world of Estragon and Vladimir with a Grand Existential Narrative . Nonetheless, both these arguments provide a post-war lens that views life without inherent importance nor singular purpose/essence, resulting in the rise of ‘absurdism’— a search for answers in a world that offers no true answer . In this essay, the aforementioned conc...

Bredlik

 https://yeahwrite.me/writing-help-bredlik/ Bredlik isn’t as easy as it looks, folks. It’s a very tight form with very tight parameters. Technically bredlik is four lines (two rhyming couplets) in iambic tetrameter, or two stanzas of four lines each in iambic diameter with an ABCB rhyme scheme. The other thing that bredlik has going on is that the original poet took inspiration for the poem not only from the incident but from the fact that it happened in a re-enactor setting. So he used 18th century spellings (or reasonable facsimiles thereof) for some of the words.

Manglish and its Cina Particles

"The ubiquitous word lah ( [lɑ́]   or   [lɑ̂] ), used at the end of a sentence, can also be described as a particle that simultaneously asserts a position and entices solidarity.  Note that 'lah' is often written after a space for clarity, but there is never a pause before it. This is because originally in Malay, 'lah' is appended to the end of the word and is not a separate word by itself." SNEAKING SUSPICION: "lah" was originally from the Cantonese practicing south of China. The land of Malaya had relations with China since the Ming dynasty, when China was the protector of the Malaccan Sultanate (maybe even from the 5th-6th century), and the use of la as a sentence-suffix particle got integrated into the Malay language its formation, probably during the second phase is Early Modern Malay (1500-ca. 1850) that witnessed the indigenization of Arabic loan words, changes in the affix system, and a rather liberal word order.  Confirmation alternatives: ...
