Covering a Topic Episode 1: Biased Olympics

The Dilemma of Caster Semenya’s Participation/categorization Disclaimer: as a blogger, when I try to talk about a topic. I do it to not only enhance my knowledge on the subject but to also understand and be empathetic towards all viewpoints and perspectives, I have tried to be completely unbiased while presenting the facts on whether Caster Semenya should be allowed to participate in these athletic events. Caster Semenya , an athlete who has shined as a beacon of hope and idolization despite all the controversy that she is constantly wrapped in, had this to say about the challenges that she had to face just in order to compete in something that she holds immensely dear, “I am Mokgadi Caster Semenya. I am a woman and I am fast. You try to be in front of me, I jump you, I keep running.” I would also like to add that “gender” would be used to refer to the way she identifies herself, whereas the term “sex” would be used to discuss about the biological aspects of her identification

The Darkness Descends Darkness descends upon us Instead of days of light Winds getting stronger Barely any sunlight Soon the lamented destruction would yield its results As mankind would pay for the its sins and avarice Forgetting about religion and caste Mankind would fall to the nature aghast Floods would strike and rains would storm As man falters before the mighty night Darkness descends upon us faster each fortnight Fear in big men and leaders alike The end draws near, within our sights Man could try to flee and run But the ravages of past wouldn't squander As nature would yield its own justice And the Darkness would descend So heed the warning and prolong your life Save your planet and prioritize For men may (soon end to) come and go But the nature will (continue to) flourish forever
