"kids these days don't loiter or act rebellious enough any more" kids just existing in public are more criminalized and surveilled than ever. almost every western country is running a panic about youth crime and how random teens standing awkwardly are a threat to civilization, and pushing for much more punitive laws. tons of states and powerful lobbies are pushing "parental right laws" that restrict the civil rights of minors even more. policing is first and foremost targeting youths, especially from low income and majority immigrant neighbourhoods. if a kid mildly steps out of line or says something awkward online or in a public space half a dozen people can whip up their phone and start mass harassment campaigns. and tech companies are now restricting access to the internet, the last way many teens can talk to each other freely and reach out to people outside family and school.
anyhow i think people really need to start giving kids at least a tiny bit more grace instead of making smug posts about how uncool they are compared to your youth days, you fucking twats
Punk FRIDAY
POEM
It feels like l I am immersed in salt water
There sky seen unusual than it use to
The foe showing their flag at noon
The rooster crow and sprint
They do you illusion so that you doth not savour the sweet fragrance of rain.
So that you doth not relish the pleasantness of porridge.
So that you always feel like you want something you cannot describe,
Heck! Alas!
You all know Maya Angelou?

The Dawn of a New Era: British England in the 16th Century
As the medieval period drew to a close, British England stood poised on the threshold of a new era. The 16th century, marked by significant cultural, economic, and political shifts, would forever alter the course of the nation's history.
*The Tudor Dynasty*
The 16th century saw the rise of the Tudor dynasty, which would rule England for the next 118 years. Henry VII, the first Tudor king, seized the throne in 1485, following the Battle of Bosworth Field. His son, Henry VIII, would go on to become one of the most infamous monarchs in English history, known for his six marriages and the English Reformation.
*The English Reformation*
The 16th century was a time of great religious upheaval in England. The Protestant Reformation, sparked by Martin Luther's Ninety-Five Theses in 1517, had far-reaching consequences for the English monarchy and the Church of England. Henry VIII's desire to annul his marriage to Catherine of Aragon led to the English Reformation, with the monarch declaring himself the Supreme Head of the Church of England.
*Cultural and Economic Developments*
The 16th century saw significant cultural and economic developments in British England. The Renaissance, which had begun in Italy, spread to England, influencing art, literature, and architecture. William Shakespeare, one of the most celebrated playwrights in English history, emerged during this period, penning iconic works such as "Romeo and Juliet" and "Hamlet."
The 16th century also witnessed the growth of trade and commerce in England. The establishment of the Muscovy Company in 1555 marked the beginning of English trade with Russia, while the East India Company, founded in 1600, would go on to play a significant role in the development of the British Empire.
*Conclusion*
The 16th century was a transformative period in British England, marked by significant cultural, economic, and political developments. The Tudor dynasty, the English Reformation, and the emergence of influential figures such as William Shakespeare all contributed to the shaping of a new England, one that would go on to play a major role in world affairs. As the century drew to a close, British England stood poised on the threshold of a new era, ready to face the challenges and opportunities of the 17th century.

Living in Rebellion
Living in rebellion, boots scuffed with spite,
Chains clatter loud in the neon light,
Mohawk sharp, like a battle cry,
Eyes burning holes in the passersby.
"Oi, you there! Think you’re bold?
Bet you’ve never felt the city cold—
On bare knuckles, on pride, on rage,
Living life like an open cage."
Spits on the pavement, a defiant stain,
Dares the world to flinch in vain,
"Prove me wrong! Tell me I’m tame—
I’ll set fire to fear, I’ll spit on shame!"
But the crowd just walks, heads held low,
Dodging the echoes of his punk rock show,
Not with fists, but silence, they fight—
His anthem swallowed by the city night.
Still he stands, throat raw with grit,
Screaming proof that he'll never quit.
For rebellion’s not in deeds alone—
It’s in shouting loud when you stand alone.
The Writer's Vow
Ink stains fingers, pages fray, yet still, they struggle through.
Morning light creeps past the blinds, a pale and fleeting glow,
Coffee cold, ideas thin, but on the words must flow.
Each letter drips with restless doubt, each sentence feels contrived,
Plots unravel, characters shout, but none feel quite alive.
The cursor blinks, a steady pulse—a metronome of dread,
Marking time in silent taunts within the writer’s head.
But habit binds with iron threads, forged in sleepless nights,
Discipline, their bitter bread, consumed beneath dim lights.
The muse is fickle, fleeting fast, like shadows on the wall,
Yet duty grips them to the last, though passion dares to stall.
Afternoon fades, the word count grows, though hollow feels the gain,
For not all seeds the writer sows will bloom without the rain.
But still, they press with weary hand, through paragraphs and prose,
Chasing meaning, bold and grand, in lines nobody knows.
And when the final word is penned, the day’s great battle won,
They close the page, their thoughts unspun, though restless minds aren’t done.
For in the silence, whispers start—new tales begin to play.
"Spikes and Shadows"
He laced his boots with threads of spite,
A rebel heart, a flickering light,
Mohawk sharp, dyed crimson red,
Echoes of rage inside his head.
Leather jacket, patched and torn,
Symbols stitched of nights forlorn,
Chains that clattered, boots that stomped,
Through empty streets where shadows romped.
His mother wept, his father roared,
"This isn't you—you're something more!"
But "more" was chains, and "more" was loud,
A voice that shattered every crowd.
"You're lost," they said. "You'll fade away."
But fading wasn't punk rock's way.
So with a snarl and fists held tight,
He vanished deep into the night.
City lights like jagged scars,
Graffiti hymns, and broken bars,
Friends with names like Ghost and Snipe,
Living lives carved out of hype.
Yet in the echo of each show,
A shadow whispered soft and low—
Not from the crowd, not from the stage,
But stitched between his stitched-up rage.
The echoes grew, as echoes do,
“What’s freedom if it’s haunting you?”
No answers came, just static buzz,
A question left for who he was.
Years rolled on, and posters peeled,
The vinyl scratched, the anger healed.
But in his chest, beneath the ink,
A softer beat began to think.
One winter dawn, with breath like smoke,
He penned a letter, words bespoke:
"I left to find what I could be—
But lost myself to feel free."
No home he had, yet home he found,
In ink, in scars, in silent sound.
A punk, a son, a soul unbound,
Spikes and shadows, safe and proud.
Poem as usual
The Lonely Traveler
Upon the road where shadows creep,
And silent winds their secrets keep,
A traveler walks with weary stride,
No friend beside, no soul to guide.
His cloak is worn, his boots are torn,
By countless paths and nights forlorn.
A faded map clutched in his hand,
A whisper lost in foreign land.
The stars above, his distant kin,
Flicker cold with light worn thin.
The moon, a watcher pale and high,
A solemn eye in an empty sky.
Through valleys deep and mountains stark,
Past rivers black and forests dark,
He treads where echoes dare not stay,
For silence knows him well each day.
His heart, a compass cracked and flawed,
Points not to gold, nor fame, nor God.
But to a place he cannot name,
A ghostly thought, a fleeting flame.
Villages blur in fleeting glance,
Faces fade in brief romance,
Words exchanged like brittle glass—
Fragile truths that never last.
Taverns filled with laughter’s roar,
Yet none to greet him at the door.
A stranger's smile, a fleeting grace,
Gone before it finds its place.
Storms may howl and tempests rise,
But none can match the storm inside.
His solitude, a cloak unseen,
Stitched with threads of might-have-been.
Footsteps echo, sharp and clear,
Markers of a soul sincere,
But none reply, no voice returns—
Just hollow roads and lessons learned.
What drives him on, what keeps him whole?
Not hearth, nor home, nor whispered goal.
Perhaps the ache, the endless roam,
Is both his burden and his home.
For in the vast, uncharted space,
Where paths diverge without a trace,
A lonely traveler seeks no end—
Only the road, his oldest friend.
And though his shadow walks alone,
It stretches wide, a kingdom grown
From every step, from every scar,
A testament to all he’s far.
So let him wander, let him stray,
Across the dusk, beyond the day.
For in his heart, the road runs deep,
A tale untold, a vow to keep.
And when the stars forget to shine,
And time dissolves the path's design,
His story, woven in the dust,
Will speak of roads, of dreams, of trust.
Not in the finding, but the quest—
A lonely heart that never rests.
Poem is when you write a unique piece in an elegant style.
You don't have to be subtle, just play with words, that's it!
Marriage in Islam: A Detailed Overview
1. Definition:
Marriage (Nikah) in Islam is a solemn and sacred social contract between a man and a woman. It is not merely a physical or emotional bond but a spiritual agreement rooted in mutual consent, responsibilities, and rights. Allah describes it in the Qur’an as a source of tranquility, love (mawaddah), and mercy (rahmah):

Hello, I am a poet, connect with me to discover more
Wish you would come back And whisper one more word.
Your absence is the starting point of Agony.
Indulge me to profess my inner intent to you
Gimme more love than I need so that I am stone as though a bird haunted by innocent kids
Gimme more love now,
more than a heart can contain,
till I turn to stone.
Stone as a lost bird,
winged yet weighed down by the sky,
drifting without flight.
Haunted by soft hands,
children chasing with laughter,
shadows full of light.
Hold me till I break,
warmth that shivers in my bones,
silent echoes loud.

I miss everything about Graham Greene, love him so much... His writing about 500 words per day is so sort of bizarre.
I’m tired and I’m sick to death of being without you [...]

Y’all, my little nephew, who’s nickname is “Cabbage,” wanted a “punk jacket,” like Uncle Kade’s. (EMPHASIS ON LITTLE, be nice)
So, I asked him what kind of patches he wanted on it, and this is what we came up with. Just need to sew the patches down and line the vest. I can’t wait to finish it and send it to him.
