"Your first book is the only one that matters. Perhaps a writer should write only that one. That is the one moment when you make the big leap; the opportunity to express yourself is offered that once, and you untie the knot within you then or never again."- Italo Calvino

Pompeii

In 79 AD, Mount Vesuvius erupted and buried Pompeii under ash and pumice within hours. The Roman city froze in time: loaves of bread sat in ovens, frescoes glowed on villa walls, and citizens were caught mid-motion. Archaeologists later poured plaster into voids left by decayed bodies, revealing haunting casts of people shielding faces or embracing. Streets with chariot ruts, bakeries, brothels, and political graffiti all survived. Today Pompeii is both graveyard and time capsule. It shows the suddenness of catastrophe and the intimacy of daily life, reminding us that disaster preserves what it destroys.

It's your chance,

choose your stance,

The floor is ready,

Let's dance,

We are all creatures

with the desire to be richer,

To get a better future?

just to get a future,

The growling fear,

is nothing too dear,

A simple shift of gears,

something simple, dear,

Always sailing,

where the wave drives,

Say we sing,

As the day brings,

It's our chance,

As we take our stance,

I am ready,

If we may dance,

I am watching,

The tables are turning,

As the oil keeps on burning,

As facts are facts,

The time has come,

let's play it fair,

let's pay the fare,

As we watch,

It's my chance,

It's my gumble,

It's a once-in-a-lifetime,

Better not fumble,

It's your chance,

choose your stance,

The floor is ready,

I'm ready, let's dance,

We are just creatures,

with fear,

desiring riches,

admiring wealth
