The Might of the Pen. – By Noor Rahim “The pen is mightier than the sword” is the saying Stifling of the Pen can cause a populace swing But the effect may only be temporary and for political gaining And when truth comes along; lead to populace awakening The cumulative effect can be far reaching “An Army marches on its’ stomach” is a Napoleonic saying It’s true for an Army as it is for the peoples’ well being Hence the stomach becomes the centre of homing No doubt an empty stomach will create problems that’s disturbing The Pen is like the “Scale of Justice” that needs “Just” balancing We do not need the Pen to be a “Sword of Damocles” dangling Above the head of a population and threatening The Pen must in all circumstances be just and well meaning One must remember that a Pen filled with venomous inkling ...
The Four Points of the Compass. – By Noor Rahim North; South; East & West Are just directions on a map or the Atlas But to the Human Beings living It should not invoke a feeling That one is better than the rest But to live in Harmony & Trust Cultivating the concept of Peaceful Living With the blending of Race; Culture and Understanding Rather than trying to prove who is the best For this invokes jealousies and contempt Much to the deterrent of the living And the creation of Animosity among all beings There’s nothing to say who the Best is For the Good Lord made us equal to the test But Humans got lured into the ways of greed & segregation so sadly That we lost the sense of equality and peaceful living Noor Rahim September 05, 2015 ...

A Compilation of the Advent of Flight. – By Group Captain Noor Rahim (RCyAF – Retd.) As Homo sapiens became wiser and started using their faculty of thinking – their brain; they made one of the greatest discoveries in the form of the “wheel”.
