...all that we fall for are done in the blink of an eye... like a camel through the eye of a needle as seen from the eye of a storm... a blizzard of movement... guerrillas in yoga... a namaskar to revolution for better days for a better world prostrate to sacrifice... faceless men and women who fought not to colonize... not to settle on... but for you and me to be in a better place... to be in a space of sharing...
...are you sharing...?... are you going past what is acceptable and unfair... what is normal and violent?... we've grown so deep in our individualism that you wouldn't know that right now there are afghansitan was being shelled, that yemen has been in the worst humanitarian crisis in modern times... that the congo was facing a human catastrophe from the ongoing civil war.... that uighers in china were being whipped till religion was lashed out of them... that there are tens of thousands rotting in u.s. prisons... that there are tens of thousands who on a street level murdering others, stealing, robbing, assaulting their families and terrorizing their neighbors - engaged in violent actions with impunity, with almost a sympathy for being victims and celebrated in music and media... what about programs to help...?... how deep is it that we can pretend if we are not directly in front of it that its not happening... and in fact support the pillars that hold up prisons and guns and music and music videos that condone these ways... a culture...
...it's a culture of destruction and yet... manicured days and nights that leave you sleepless as ALLAH is Ikram -the Essence of all... creeping into your and mine nights keeping us from sleeping...
...its a blessing... to wake up from our zombie walk and do something...
