The tale called LIFE!

Image
They called me wise when I said little, and a god when I bled in silence. My name once rang like thunder in rooms where power kissed greed on the cheek, but I have lived long enough to learn that thunder never lingers. I have worn crowns that fit like curses, and held hands that trembled with betrayal even as they fed me figs. I’ve tasted the salt of every ambition, swallowed empires whole just to find the hunger never left. You think life rewards the loud? No, it humbles the loud and forgets the quiet. It smiles as you climb and sharpens the blade for when you fall. And fall you must? For no man outruns the gravity of meaninglessness. I buried love with laughter. Chased legacy down alleys lit by ego. And when I found her Legacy, she was just a girl selling echoes of my name for pennies on a street corner where no one stopped to listen. I built kingdoms in people. I was a monument in the hearts of many, until rain came, the kind that washes away memory and leaves only mud where marble...

A WORLD WE CRAVE

Image
 Let us build a world, warm and kind, where tolerance blooms, and hearts unbind. No fear of judgment, no scornful gaze, just unity in our diverse ways. For in the freedom to believe, we see a world that thrives in harmony. The strength of faith, in its many hues, creates a bond that none can lose. May we stand together, hand in hand, in a world where love and respect expand. For every belief, every voice, every prayer, deserves the grace of peace in the air.

WHEN WE SLEEP...

Image
Life is fleeting, woven with stories of struggle and triumph, A dance between dreams fulfilled and hope that whispers of a brighter tomorrow. We journey to shape a better world for ourselves, for friends, for family, Driven by the quiet belief that someday, all our striving will bear fruit. At times, we question the path — why we live only to fade — But such answers lie beyond our reach, written by hands far greater than ours. The world spins on, a balance of light and shadow, Each soul leaving its mark upon the earth, like footprints upon shifting sands. Our words, our deeds, the lives we've touched, In time, they become echoes — cherished memories, or reminders of pain. When we pass, others speak our name, But it’s the silent gestures, the unspoken expressions, that linger most, A smile that beams in the heart, a memory that rises like the dawn. Though we may seem to forget, It’s not forgetfulness, but a tender shield, Protecting us from drowning in the sorrow of absence. May the...

Former beauty Queen, Miss Wyoming winner Joyce McKinney being arrested by police after kidnapping Mormon missionary Kirk Anderson from his church, forcing him to be her sex slave for 3 days, 1977.

 Joyce McKinney, a former Miss Wyoming beauty pageant winner from 1973, rose to infamy due to a series of shocking incidents. One of the most notable was in 1977 when she was arrested for kidnapping Mormon missionary Kirk Anderson and holding him captive for three days as her coerced sex slave. After the highly publicized case, McKinney fled to the United Kingdom and used a fake passport to live in the United States. In 2008, she made headlines again when it was revealed that she had cloned her pit bull five times in South Korea, allegedly as part of a scheme involving a teenager committing burglary to fund her horse's prosthetic leg. In 2016, McKinney took legal action against filmmaker Errol Morris over his documentary about her. Tragically, in 2019, she was involved in a fatal hit-and-run accident where she struck and killed a 91-year-old Holocaust survivor with her truck. McKinney fled the scene, abandoning her truck near the Hollywood Burbank Airport. Detectives were unsure ho...
