But I was no longer a bird in cage‚ but soon would fly up high to the azure

Thou art more lovely and more temperate:" - William Shakespeare‚ Sonnet 18

Actually Daruwalla’s poetry contains an abundance of similes and metaphors. Daruwalla finds that there is violence in the very air‚ and that this violence is an indication of the mass hatreds drifting across the moon

The Declaration of Independence would have never been written and we would probably still be under the thumb of the British Empire. Our lives would not be the same. We would not have the right to freedom‚ liberty or justice. All decisions would probably be made for each of us. Benjamin Franklin would not have shown us the way to a better life‚ there
