    "The Poetics" is a book written by the ancient Greek philosopher Aristotle, which is believed to have been composed around 335 BCE. The book is an important work of literary criticism and is considered one of the earliest surviving discussions of dramatic theory. 
In "The Poetics," Aristotle explores the nature of tragedy and offers insights into the elements that make up successful works of literature, such as plot, character, language, and spectacle. He discusses the purpose and function of tragedy, and argues that its ultimate goal is to elicit a cathartic response in the audience. 
Aristotle's ideas on the principles of drama and the nature of tragedy have had a profound impact on Western literary theory and have influenced the works of countless writers, playwrights, and critics over the centuries.

    The compelling inside story of how America abandoned Afghanistan. 
 
 
 
When America retreated from Kabul amid chaos in 2021, Lieutenant General Sami Sadat, the last commander of the army of the Afghan republic, was still fighting to the end. In this firsthand account, he reveals how his troops were starved of ammunition for two years before the final pullout, while America was glad-handing the Taliban. Although Sadat spent his early career fighting alongside the CIA to track down al-Qaeda in the mountains of the Hindu Kush, it was in conventional combat—leading from the front—that he made his name. In The Last Commander, he contends that Afghanistan could have won the war if support had continued. President Biden may have ended America's longest war, but the story does not end there. Now Sadat's birth country is plunged into barbarism, where women are beaten for showing their face and his former comrades are hunted down and killed. But Sadat is planning to fight back. It will not be easy, but this riveting personal account of combat shows that if anyone can do it, he can. 
 
 
 
Sadat's story was told in the Emmy Award–winning documentary Retrograde. Now he tells it for himself.

    Humans are Out - AI is In

    Humans are Out :: AI is In. 
A poem about the impending turn of fortunes for Humans when AI becomes of age. 
When it is no longer a computer programme, nor a chess or Go Master, 
but a possible thinking sentient being with a mind of its own! 
 
What humans may take from it, how will they react. Will they easily accept it, become 
accustomed to AI being a potential competitor, or will they go into a spiral of decay. 
The poem touches on these points and suggests a way out, that possibly AI will never have 
regardless of how intelligent it becomes. 
 
*Absolutely NO A.I. has been used in the creation of this Poem. 
Purely the Authors inspiration. * As for all his poems.*
