  GAZA Today: Would You Turn Your Back. 
  (Harmony-Join Book 4) 
  Everyone knows what Gaza is. A strip of land in the Middle East, being vociferously fought over. 
  I don't want to get into the Politics of it, but at least a brush with it is unavoidable if you attempt 
  any kind of dialogue or description of the occurrences that are happening there - truly awful. 
  This poem is a short one, and keeps to the suffering of its people, and not delving too much into sides 
  of the Political spectrum. 
  I think the suffering in a modern day scenario with instant and graphic footage of this one-sided war 
  is horrific. 
  Regardless of who did what to who, and who did it first etc, it should be focused on the humanitarian side 
  in any conflict lest we lose sight of what we maybe fighting for - I think the focus on humanity has been totally 
  lost. 
  Are we to Turn Our Back on these people. The West should push for extreme Sanctions to reign in the seemingly 
  unstoppable gungho aggression of the combatants - There is a Geneva convention you know. 
  It can only mean something if it is enforced... 
  Footnote: This Poem is all about the kids in this conflict. Whose right and whose wrong, shouldn't come into it 
  on the humanitarian field of view.

  Gothic Poetry by poet and short story writer Rachel LawsonLost In The Shadows Of The Past 
  I am lost and forgotten as a living being, 
  Lost in the grim dark shadows of death, 
  I live in legend and as a vague memory of life, 
  I am as I was but am nothing but dust and bone, 
  A mere curiosity of a life lived, a requiem. 
  Lost in the shadows of the past, forgotten to time

  'You're not stupid for wanting things to change, Fanny – it's just that we have to play the music that gets handed to us.'
  Meet Fanny Mendelssohn. You'll probably know of her younger brother Felix, from nineteenth-century smash hits like 'The Wedding March'. He was such a huge star that Queen Victoria requested a private concert, during which she sang her favourite of his compositions, a song called 'Italien'.
  The only problem is, that particular piece was actually composed by Fanny, though it was published under her brother's name.
  When Fanny intercepts the letter inviting Felix to play for the queen, she decides to hide it away, don her brother's clothes, and take his place at the palace…
  Calum Finlay's play Fanny is a joyful and irreverent comedy celebrating music, family and – at last – the work of a composer overlooked because of her sex. It opened at the Watermill Theatre, Newbury, in 2024.

  Quantum Poetry: Whispers Between Worlds is a collaborative creation between author Camelia Camy and the invisible codes of artificial intelligence. Each poem is born from a binary sequence—translated into lyrical, intuitive verse that bridges human emotion with digital wonder. 
  With themes of unity, time, stardust, and becoming, this collection is narrated by two voices—Angela Henderson and Ryan Kolderup—whose tones echo the balance of divine feminine and masculine. Accompanied by original sound design, the listening experience becomes meditative, mystical, and deeply resonant. 
  This is not just an audiobook. 
  It is a transmission.
