Nigerian Ozymandias
by
Edward Aghanenu
Like a whirlwind, they came. Like the dangerous tsunamis, they flooded the land. Like the hurricane, they swept off the landscape. Like earthquakes, they left destruction in their paths. It was called mainstream politics. Theirs was not to appeal. It was not to plead with the people. It was not to solicit for support or understanding. It was not to allow the rule of law take its course. Neither were there programmes for the people. The people were irrelevant. With or without the people, the apostles of mainstream politics were sure of acquiring power.

Redefining Power
by
Melinda M. Sorensson
In the jungle, power is used for survival. Man on the other hand desire power in order to have dominion over other men. As long as we seek power outside ourselves, it will be elusive and when we think that we have, that feeling will be fleeting. The source of all power is God and all we have to do is remember Who we are - Beloved children of God. In us is all the power we can handle.

Would You Make it As a Superhero? With Super Foods, You Just Might
by
Paul S Fitzgerald
So which of the Watchmen would you like to be? Would you like to be The Comedian? The Comedian or Edward Blake is like a Gordon Liddy character but more bigger, stronger and tougher. He is also ruthless, cynical, nihilistic and is capable of deeper insights compared to other costumed superheroes. Or would you like to be Ozymandias? Ozymandias gets his inspiration from Alexander the Great. He is believed to be the smartest man on the planet and possesses full physical and mental control.

Structure - For a Living Poem
by
Dennis Siluk Dr.h.c.
Someone once said, "You don't need substance from or of a poem," I disagreed with that, silently, and then wrote about it later. We all have our opinions in literature and poetry not sure who is right and who is wrong, or if there is such things as right an wrong in writing, except for things you didn't intend to do, and you did.

Cast Stone Patio
by
Sarah Maple
I have had it with grass forever. The last straw or blade should I say, was putting my back out of joint as I huffed and puffed my way up the sloping wilderness that is my garden. Sweating and red faced I had managed all but three turns of the marshy slope before I felt the familiar face creasing twinge in my lower spine.

Watchmen Comics - Dispelling the Overman
by
Joel Owens
Watchmen comics, the 12-series book created by Dave Gibbons and Alan Moore, is not your usual graphic novel. It is not a rip off of any virtuous and flawless superhero stories we have been used to reading. It is dark, grim, pulp and deviant in every way.

Watchmen Characters
by
Joel Owens
The graphic novel Watchmen introduces some of the most humanized superheroes ever seen in comics. It veered away from the virtuous and larger-than-life characteristics of stereotyped heroes we have been accustomed to seeing in comics.

Watchmen - Not Your Typical Hero Movie
by
Clarke Baldwin
Set in a world similar to Sin City, Watchmen takes place in a cold dark world where evil is good, and good is evil. Even the heroes are not squeaky clean like Superman or Ironman.
