"Test, Trials and Testimonies," and "Lord Lift me Up," are two powerful poems written by P. K. Wilson, a retired Pharmaceutical Executive, Entrepreneur and now a Poet living in Panama with her Husband. She explains on the show why she relocated to Panama three years ago and her inspiration for her poems. She bemoans how women are still treated unfairly compared to men and provides this trope in her poems based in a lyric of the fifth and sixth lines, called "Hyuks," (I may need to double check this spelling and type of poetry).
P.K. told a powerful story of how she ended up marrying her first love after losing him to her first marriage. Thanks to LinkedIn she found her first love, got married and now living in Panama on a beautiful estate, while travelling the world which has helped to broaden her perspective on life.
P.K. revealed in the interview that she is working on a new book, which her father had started, it's about the Emit Till story and it is entitled: "Few if Any Will Remember."
She leaves us with a powerful warning: "the enemy of my enemy is my friend, until my friend becomes my enemy."
At what point my friend becomes my enemy? The US today is faced with such a situation where the enemy of our enemy are now friends. The US' influence over Asia is transplanted by China so that the US only has two friends left, Singapore and Japan. But even Singapore's friendship may be in jeopardy. This is a separate issue but a beautiful segway back into geopolitics.
Later on the Podcast, we discuss the issue of the World in Transition, Neo-Capitalism and the Death of Nations but before that we will have several episodes looking at Philadelphians perspectives regardig our upcoming mayoral elections May 16th. We will release such an epsiode next.
