Kingston upon Thames

I love, spirituality and astrology, it is something I regard as highly interesting and important. I have deep green eyes, which change colour depending on my frame of mind.

Becoming a published author is my dream, well I wouldn’t even count it as a dream because I am currently walking alongside my dream, every single day. I would quote it as being a…

The poems Africa and Flying Man by Rabindranath Tagore show the negative effects of man-made destruction. The destruction is the way they have mistreated the people of Africa, as well as changing the way nature used to be, from the peaceful harmonious nature to inventing more modernised technologies, making man seem more arrogant.
