fair not

Press PLAY on the youtube icon below. Lay down... back relaxed, pour tea in your cup and maybe add rose buds in it, smell the infusion, smile..., fill your body with the music, feel it behind your eyes...

you gave me hope amidst my sorrow

may it be tomorrow, that i can love again


and in return for what i've borrowed

be with you tomorrow, and until the end



i know the road we're on is narrow

along comes tomorrow, we're gonna see the sun


and with the wings of the first sparrow

new light of tomorrow, we're gonna be as one

you smile ?
you feel the joy of being alive ?
                of leading a full and meaningful existence?
you are grateful to your society for keeping you alive like that ?




Grateful? 

No, not really..... And you're right, you shouldn't !
As it is only natural and common sense that we all simply live moments like the above. No society needs to denote us that...

How funny! Ha ha...


How funny that we don't! How funny that the "rights to live" apply to the people who need them least : The Western-type society people.

So many, so many, so many have no promise that they can feel safe in their skin for a minute or two. So many men, women, boys, girls, babies may not be living tomorrow not by accident, but simply by being born on the wrong side of the planet. 
And being dead unlucky because of that...

If you google Africa's countries, the following words pop up:

Zimbabwe : child soldiers kidnappings, government camp for torture & sexual assault.
Uganda : torture, child labor kidnappings, prosecution to homosexuality.
Sudan : ethnic cleansing (a.k.a. massacres of tribespeople), government-run enslavement, child soldiers kidnappings, prison abuse.
Somalia : child labor kidnappings, human trafficking, child soldiers kidnappings, female genital mutilation, rape by militia, police-organized kidnappings, forced labor on minority group women. 
Nigeria: rape & torture on prisoners, child labor kidnappings, human trafficking, female genital mutilation, no freedom of speech & religion. 
Ethiopia : child labor kidnappings, human trafficking, female genital mutilation,  tortures & killings by the police, forced relocation to villages that lack food & healthcare. 
Congo :  ethnic slavery. 
Cameroon : systematic torture. 
Western Sahara :  ethnic "disappearance" & imprisonment, mandatory child soldier recruitment by government.
Libya : child deliberate HIV infections, prison massacres, civil war. 
Centuries ago, the time had come to stop the imbalance of the societies. 
Centuries later, it still hasn't. 



Please quit your intellectual uncommitment. 



I am really uncommitted as well, of course I would be... 
So I am starting somewhere:


and www.google.com of course... see what happens in the images section if you type the words "africa", "torture", and "child soldiers". The more creative you become in the words you type, the more "creative" the pictures get.
