“Educate or Deport”, Says Cameron
Just to See You Smile

One by one
Lay them down
A pillow, fragrant and tender
Just for you

.
I grate the kernel of my soul
Day by day
Stitch with stardust
A cocoon, warm and cozy
Just for you

.
I gather the beats of my heart
Hour after hour
A string of starts
Sew it a blanket, silk and velvet

and for your beautiful eyes to gleam

Agony of a Soul
Weep Nahida, weep
Flung open gates of anguish in your soul
A tear for every tear on a child’s face
Suppressed in fear or shed in despair
Dried out in shock that no one cares
Weep Nahida, weep, don’t count your tears
A tear for every child ever born,
Grown up to be a human, abused or abuser
died in pain or killed in vain
Walked on thorns or lived in chains

.
Weep Nahida, weep, let your agony fill the oceans
A tear for every breath ever inhaled
By a living being near or far
A tear for every life gasping for life
Sprayed by poison, smothered by tar
Torn by bombs or burned alive
.
Parched for a miracle, stunned by the lies
On the brink of lunacy, you shout out loud
Kicking and screaming: do not comply
Your soul falls weary, your heart diced down
And when you thought your tears dried out
They press rewind, all over again, they start

You read my thoughts, You feel my pain
You know my past, inside out
No words make sense
No need to explain
This world is yours,
To You we belong, to You we return
.
Most Gracious, Most High
Most Compassionate, Most Wise
Most Generous, Most Sublime
Most Loving, Most Gentle, Most Kind
Source of Peace, Holiness and Truth
Glorious is Your Mercy

Caress Your creation with a spark of Light
Keep it out of harm’s way, keep it all sane
Kiss its wounds with a song Pure, Divine

Eye take it easy, heart don’t you cry
The All Aware Healer, hears your cry

Jewish Anti-Human Racism
A Prayer For New Year
With You I am OK
Dear Most Compassionate
Show me the truth
As true
And help me follow
Show me falsehood
As false
And help me avoid
Help me… say the truth
Help me… do the truth
Help me… think the truth
Help me… feel the truth
Dear Most Kind
I am lost
Without your guidance
Frail
Without your support
Miserable
Without your company
Dare I run away from You
Except towards You
Is there a place to hide from You
Except under your wings
The world has wronged me
Forsaken neglected and ignored
Held me responsible as the victim
Declared me guilty while innocent
Put me on trial although oppressed
Imprisoned me for being abused
An abandoned child
Blamed for… being
But
If You, Most Beloved, are pleased with me
I can take it all
Nothing else matters
