The Finality of All Things Part 5

POSTCOLONIAL CRITICISM-Poem
The Maiden
Your ebony hair falls in waves
Upon sun-kissed shoulders
brown, the warmth inviting
like shores unexplored

my Philippines,
defiled.
Note: Postcolonial criticism is the anlysis of work produced in colonies and counties [...]

Gratification at last.
I shake my head-
decisions.

Oh Margareth,
If love for you were a pretty penny,
he would have none to spend on you-
that spoiled frock will not do,
your breast will not suffice,
nor will cracked lips that ache
for kisses wet and sweet
the way barren land moans
for rain during draught.
-he loves me.
Note: Marxism is a way of studying text in such a way as to [...]

STRUCTURALISM-Essay
A Word In Time
   This world is a world of words, created from nothing, longing for memory, stopping once and them moving forth with each thought that is born with Father Ink and Mother Hand.
   With each sweep over paper, each a, an, the, with and but, so we [...]
