The Poetic Lyrics and the Musical Mastery of ‘Time’ by Pink Floyd.

“Time” by Pink Floyd is an exceptionally wonderful song with artful lyrics deserving poetic notoriety. The album within which this song features, ‘The Dark Side of the Moon’, is a soundscape of serious note. In fact, this album has the world record of having spent 16 years in the US Top 100 Album charts. It is regarded as the most popular music album of all time. It is important to note that all the lyrics were written by Roger Waters, and the music was compiled and written by all four members of the group Pink Floyd; Roger Waters, David Gilmore, Rick Wright, and Nic Mason.

Society’s Rotting Core – By Vaughan Jones.

Societal values change ever more rapidly as stress and pressures increase, and lifestyle changes accordingly only because we seemingly choose to take part in it and to live it. Many philosophers, like Plato, believe that the state of our life in this world is as it is because of humankind’s collective intent for it to be so. This may seem strange, but it may well be true.

Dog nail clipping tips

Do your dogs run away when they see you with the nail clippers? Do they fidget, get nervous, or even try to bite when you or the vet attempt to clip their nails? Don’t give up – it doesn’t have to be that way. It’s possible to get your dogs to accept and even like having their nails clipped, using a technique called desensitisation.

Otitis externa – ear infection

As pet owners, many of us have learned to recognise the signs of an ear infection – scratching, head shaking, and whining are usually the first symptoms of the problem. Ear infections are fairly common in dogs, especially those with floppy ears.

Dr Karin Wilson, a knowledgeable vet from Teva Clinic in Somerset West, has kindly provided some valuable insights into the diagnosis, symptoms, potential causes, and treatment of this condition.

Wisdom from Africa in a time of Challenge, Crisis and Courage

I was thinking about the last five months and what it means to be in Africa at this time. I looked to one of my little books for inspiration: Wisdom from Africa. Here is a small selection of proverbs from our continent that may be pertinent or even prophetic at this time.

The Non-Uniform Poet

I feel that any poem, like any other artistic work, is unique to its creator, artist, or composer. Thus, his/her form or style of poetry
