![]() ![]() On the other hand, those supposedly credible persons who spread falsities and inaccuracies –if not lies– take all the credit. ![]() That is why we humans are so fortunate to be gifted with mental faculties to discern things that should be or should not be. But isn’t it that hard data is prescribed and narrowed down by critical thinking and other related realms of impartial thought? Hard data alone should not be considered as sola scriptura. Yes, it is true that a case usually wins by an overwhelming quantity of physical evidence and even witnesses. In a world that is wanting of intellectual arguments, hitting on a person’s scholarship –or lack of it– should never be highlighted by an applause nor should be sided upon. The foregoing examples are, indeed, a barrage of poor reasoning. Some instances of common diatribes: “You are a nobody how dare you say such things!” “Do you even have a Master’s degree to lay such claims?” “Have you won awards to make yourself known as an iconoclast?” “We would rather resort to scholars and other published greats than waste our time weighing the merits of your blog!” It comes but as an unconscionable delight to a person (who has no more good argument to extract from his wonderful comprehension of events) who disagrees with another individual to attack the latter’s credibility, especially when the former is already overwhelmed by offenses from his foe. Everything that irritates us about others can lead us to an understanding of ourselves. ![]()

Through this secondary world Tolkien writes perceptively of universal human concerns – love and loss, courage and betrayal, humility and pride – giving his books a wide and enduring appeal. Tolkien’s most popular works, The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings are set in Middle-earth, an imagined world with strangely familiar settings inhabited by ancient and extraordinary peoples. His creativity, confined to his spare time, found its outlet in fantasy works, stories for children, poetry, illustration and invented languages and alphabets.

The poems themselves, along with the short biographies of each poet, were inspirational, varied, and a great representation of the depth and versatility of the African American poetry tradition. We need abolition of prisons and police, and we need it now. Nothing has really changed since Trayvon Martin's death, except that people are more aware and will actually hit the streets in response to these murders. These poems were beautiful and inspirational, but I wish they didn't seem so timely, or timeless. It's a real shame that even as I was reading this anthology of poems by Black authors in response to the political situation for Black people in the US, we are currently in the middle of the Derek Chauvin murder trial and the police have shot and killed a twenty-year-old Black man with an air freshener and a thirteen-year-old child just this week. ![]() ![]() Ward's unique band of brothers is to die for.
