The Endless Wars
Human civilization has come of age. Today, we enjoy unprecedented comfort and convenience compared to our predecessors a couple of centuries ago. Yet, human relationship, like animals in the wild, has largely remained primordial in nature. Regardless of the narratives and justifications, brutal methods are still in use to dominate weaker people and societies to unscrupulously access their resources and usurp power for territorial control and/or influence to survive and thrive. Those who accumulate more resources, climb higher up the societal dominance hierarchy which further guarantees access to more resources and power. The struggle is endless!This poetry book, The Endless Wars, is a “must read book!”. The author, David Lubari Biar Lominyo, based on his experience living through numerous civil wars in his own country, the Republic of South Sudan, as well as his long international humanitarian experience working in armed conflict situations in Africa and the Middle east, presents powerful, immersive poetic reflection of brutal action of man in armed conflict environment. He poetically and emotionally highlights the struggles, and the cries of vulnerable people. He further reflects on the determination of nations such as Ukraine now, fighting for freedom against external invasion. Lubari notes that where poor people have struggled and installed a democratically elected government in power, the primordial instinct of the leaders, colluding with the unfair world, may still take advantage of the unequal power relationship with their impoverished population. He offers tools for peace building and leadership skills to improve on societal stability and performance.

The Fly Sermon and Other Odes
For over forty years I’ve been writing odes about people, places, and experiences in my life. My career in education has been amazing and at times intense, but I managed to escape to hobbies and interests and always attempted to summarise in the form of an ode.These were all placed in boxes and stored away until now. When I retired from teaching, I opened the boxes and read through the odes. They were almost like a diary of my life so far.I’ve selected 21 odes for this collection. They are about friends, holiday experiences, hobbies and sometimes things that happened in my school life.My favourite is The Fly Sermon. I wrote it 36 years ago for children to recite in their assembly about tolerance for others and non-discrimination. The theme is as important now as it was then. Our life is surrounded with all sorts of living things, which we should respect and learn to live with, regardless of quirks, traits, or physical features.I’ll remember whenever a fly I do see, The importance of living in close harmony.

Beauty Is Truth, Truth Beauty
Inspired by the odes of John Keats, I would like to write poetry which touches the soul.My early poetry is about imagery and beauty. Then I moved onto a period of trying to create mood with the artist Paul Klee’s remark in mind: ‘Art is not about reproducing the visible. It renders visible.’This followed with some verses trying to describe depression.Finally, there are some abstract poems which try to convey what happens when we reach the end of language.
