Prof, it isn’t uncounth to see another poem written by you.
Sometime, I wonder how you managed to attend to all these essential needs of humanity.
Though, some are sentiment of human justice which interplay punishing, self-defense and sympathy.
However, I admire your courageous belief and intelligent.
Keep the spirit on. The world needs such viable ideas.
