Winter Looming I set forth Seeking droplets on the pavement Greener bushes on the side I hug my pillow Breathing sweet incense Feeling your velvety skin And nimble hands so arduous On my ego Winter Looming I set forth Seeking droplets on the pavement Greener bushes on the side Staring at your pale face Shiny eyes That speak volumes of blank clammy pages Of prose that’s never inked Of Poetry, that’s never shown The light of day Winter Looming I set forth Seeking droplets on the pavement Greener bushes on the side Arms wide open I welcome Your darken skies Wash away my slippery cheeks With hope of flowery blossom Around the ides of March Ray de Bono 27.09.08

I am not against Strikes. I am against Thugs! 1. How in a modern EU country are certain things allowed to happen? 2. Where are the Police + Armed Forces? 3. What will be the implications on Brand Malta?? 4. Is it not illegal to kidnap a Person off a bus, beat him and to block a Street with a vehicle? Was anyone arrested - with all the witnesses around?? Solution: The government should invite other EU transport providers to come and operate emergency services in Malta. The government should offer them and passengers alike security to immediately restore a safe transport service in Malta for all, and quick. Message to Strikers: Get an education. Nobody is above the law. All other businesses have competition, even pastizzi vendors - YOU are not any more special than the rest of us. PS: 'Bass' (pronounced exactly like the English word ' bus' in Maltese is slang for 'to fart', or to put in mildly, to 'release air' . Ray de Bono for Dmax Online Blog

Where does Racism stop? S Africa violence: 'Screams haunt me' Several thousand foreigners have fled South Africa after days of violent attacks by angry mobs. Among them are many Zimbabweans who prefer to risk the violence there than stay in South Africa. Thabiso, a 36 year-old Zimbabwean woman, had to flee the township of Thembisa near Johannesburg, after a series of xenophobic attacks. I was awoken by the sound of screaming on Monday. I realised they had set alight a shack belonging to a Mozambican immigrant. He tried to escape the fire. But the residents were armed with all sorts of traditional weapons and AK-47 rifles. They shouted: "Umbambe engabaleki", which means "Don't let him run away" in Zulu. They threw a brick at his head and he fell down. The mob caught up with him, doused him with petrol and threw him back into the burning shack. The screams of the burning Mozambican still haunt me. When I close my eyes to try to sleep, I see the man scream

Those shadows what difference do i make in God's fascinating plan... playing with stars milking away the years if I am anything, what am I? Not a speck in the tide of time not a spark in the abyss of hallow skies, galaxies that inhabit the universe what difference does it make to be left cold life or dead? to disintegrate into the soil and become one with elements that fathered me... if my nest grew chilled and my arms hold themselves in eerie silence as I laugh in agony at the mass ice age that flames around ...what difference do I make in God's fascinating plan? and who cares if not the shadows that accompany me in this life bred without our consent ...their eyes flickering as tears fly and shine magic wonders reflecting a reality that we cherish and dream in surreal hope of a life that outlives the morge Shadows smile or cry, they are real as they speak my heart and long for my arms your arms, you, ...whom I don't know though I wish to hold what difference would all thi

Here and now if nice is precious more than years ago where bliss is not more than a frill in my memory that alters and falters by time Here and now is dear too, as I taste, smell, see and feel it hear it playing mellow as we speak Here and now is really only what I have as then, is nothing but plan, and chance Here and Now is by then my new charms to recall, as I smile and thank the moment, that's already gone.

Ode to our Architectural Prowess The many pre -historic structures that we have sprouting here and there - are amazing reminders of these island's antiquity and the long standing civilization of their diverse inhabitants. The medieval limestone walls and bastions that fortify our cities, the old houses that core our villages, the baroque churches that are scattered all over the Maltese islands - aren't they charming and fitting to our weather, environment and temperament ? These structures epitomise an age, and in many ways fossilise it. But don't tell me that most structures erected after from the 1970's onwards , the limestone orgy of Malta's leftist age, the so-called housing for all, have left us with an outer core of ugliness littering our towns and villages; the ominous housing estates - the shear sight of which - gives me a bad mood, now shape most of our urban landscape. Whats more is the fact that for a supposedly noble cause, the use of limestone was m

Malta applies to rejoin PFP Read more: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Partnership_for_Peace The Cabinet has decided that Malta should reactivate its membership in the Partnership for Peace, the government said. Malta had joined the PFP in 1995 but withdrew its membership in 1996, following a change in government. The government said that joining the PFP will not effect Malta's neutrality but will enhance its participation within the EU. Moreover, the Armed Forces of Malta will also benefit from the membership since it will be able to participate in different exercises such as humanitarian and rescue exercises. The fact that Malta was not part of the PFP was creating hindrances since the government did not have access to confidential documents that the NATO and other PFP members exchanged between them.

Kontu informati? Did you know? Eravate informati? Kidnapped Iraqi archbishop dead from: http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/middle_east/7294078.stm Archbishop Rahho's body was found buried near MosulPaulos Faraj Rahho, the Chaldean Catholic archbishop in Iraq who was kidnapped last month, has been found dead near the northern city of Mosul. An Iraqi police officer and morgue official confirmed reports that the archbishop's body had been found buried near Mosul, where he had been abducted. The Vatican said Pope Benedict XVI was profoundly moved and saddened by Archbishop Rahho's death. He was kidnapped soon after he left Mass in Mosul on 29 February. According to the SIR Catholic news agency, the kidnappers told Iraqi church officials on Wednesday that Archbishop Rahho was very ill and, later on Wednesday, that he was dead. It is not clear whether he was killed, or died of natural causes. Nobody has claimed responsibility for his death. The archbishop was the latest in a long line o

Tomorrow Beckons I am scared and my limits haunt me as when I think I know them I am petrified as they fall short or rather shorter than my Ego dictates. So I wonder and stare pale into the oblivious tomorrow and the surprises it holds. Ray de Bono 21.02.08
