Erotic

Will

Wholesale torture, man-made and child-felt,

Divorced from thought, we’ll surely be haunt,

When dead and asked, how could we be that?

How could we just let them… hurt like that… 💔

Palestinians in Gaza ‘denied aid, protection, dignity’

“It should break our hearts that it’s been allowed to get to this point”

James Elder, a UNICEF spokesman

Awake & aroused, breath trapped in my chest,

Not lover, beloved, but pangs of despair,

Unlocked in my words, taste tears as I write,

Disorder & breakdown, frustration & fear,

Out of rhythm, we don’t make a sound

Penetrate private, corporations enslave,

Heads down we bow, their hardware held tight,

Our masters, their masters, green print or gold things,

Worthy of worship, the constructs we fake,

Exploded external, upgraded machine,

Internal imploded, downgraded the man,

Conditioned, enforced, over and over,

Material prison, more matter than life,

Often do wonder, why many don’t care?

We follow ourselves, in circles we go,

This world is but temporary or did you forget?

Hobbies & interests, your work & your titles,

They die when you do, but people live on,

Cycle in circle when you’re dead & gone,

Value all people, believe they are people,

We really are people, just please let us be 💔

Evoke a damn heart, express that you care,

Locus of conscious, eradicate ego, your power & rank,

Do you leverage that privilege you must know you have?

Or do you sit on back and watch them all die?

Or maybe you skip, distress and such stress…

Palestine’s sunbird, it flies if it lives,

Land of the possible, our land that you steal…

Palestine Sunbird: A Stamp of Defiance | Al Jazeera World

In this Al Jazeera World film, we watch as Jarrar achieves a major breakthrough when Germany’s Deutsche Post accepts his design. An initial print run of 4,000 postage stamps quickly sells out, and he soon sells more than 28,000 German Palestine sunbird stamps, while also stamping hundreds of passports of tourists on the streets of Berlin.

My will to fulfill, my final seal, when it comes to end,

I hope you know, I cared and I tried,

Most every day, since December last year,

When I realized so, how different this was,

Your plan to eradicate, exterminate all,

I’m sorry I don’t, bring about change 💔

Please know I’ll try, till I come to end…

Global connection, it glimmers in space,

Atoms of music, why can’t we all sing?

Lovers and love songs, a musical score,

If only we tried to strike but a chord,

Maybe then you… would let us just live…
