Rob,
I was disinclined to place this post here, but since the prompt was CONTROVERSIAL, I thought it appropriate to toss bait to shark infested waters.
Thanks,

Rob, Glad to see Writers Island is back.
This week I am going to re post something I wrote a few weeks back.
In Wrong Hands
Not very controversial I am sorry.. but something to think about.. especially in light of the racism talks reigning high in the elections this year!

Rob and To the Islanders,
Part of the series of articles I wrote for my new poetry corner A QUIET PLACE TO REST at laarnians.com , I wrote this open letter to a rising star, a Filipino Diva: Laarnie Losala. She is the same muse I wrote about in the article I submitted last week for the maiden creative catalyst, empowered: The Fan.
This week for the creative catalyst, let me share with you my controversial Open Letter To Laarnie
I wish you all well.

Hello, this seems perfect for my worst policy positions post. Very election-seasony. Enjoy.

Caught me by surprise a bit – I’ve been a bit behind on checking emails. Controversial…dunno… but something to read at least.
