Eid Mubarak…
Public opinion, highest court of the land,
Jungles of neuron tamed typical thought,
Brain’s gray matter, still dispute the truth?
Make the same choices you did day before?

Torment, distort, dismiss and defend,
Saturate souls, trick spheres into war,
Witness real-time, our slaughter each day 💔
Safety, security, warmth & connect,
Life as we know it, diminished, decayed,
Departed beliefs, controlled by a few,
Western media, American-owned,
Programmed heads, swallowed our words, censored our voice,
Cultivate cults, pilgrimage profits and harvest in hate,
Clinically dead, remote view the world,
Once done with us, who will be next?
And if close to you…
Is that when you peek and then maybe speak…?

Inherit the past, a duty we own, but do we uphold?
Did we try? What is it that, we’ll leave behind?
Faces unborn, welfare unknown,
At rate we thrust, we throttle to death,
World ceases to span, the price tag we’ll pay…
I manifest new, a life more alive,
Elitist few, can’t rob us of that,
Stay in the cave, or fight for the light,
Use your heart, heed what you need and not what you want,
Purpose of life, preserve life… serve bigger than you,
I beg of you please, maybe then, our babies won’t suffer…
And die in such pain, alone and afraid… 💔
What will our children do in the morning?
Will they wake with their hearts wanting to play,
the way wings should?
Will they have dreamed the needed flights and gathered
the strength from the planets that all men and women need to balance
the wonderful charms of the earth
so that her power and beauty does not make us forget our own?
I know all about the ways of the heart – how it wants to be alive.
Love so needs to love that it will endure almost anything, even abuse,
just to flicker for a moment.
But the sky’s mouth is kind, its song will never hurt you,
for I sing those words.
What will our children do in the morning
if they do not see us fly?
~ Rumi ~
I'm thankful I read and watched this. I was told to be suspicious of Wikipedia a couple of years ago and I did became so, but I thought they were referring to the many errors on subjects. Then last year my sister told me No, Wikipedia spreads lies. Well, I stopped using it except for non-controversial subjects. I really really see now how I did the right thing. The lies, the manipulations are so far spread that all generations, but especially the younger generations have to be taught of the length and breathe of the deception the powerful will go to.
It's frightful and sad to have to carry distrust in your head, but it's fruitful and joyful to hold empathy and love in your heart to protect the vulnerable.
