Voices through literature

🙏🤲🍉🕊powerful evening... A gathering of support at the P21 gallery. Helping to get Palestinian voices heard through literature.. We cannot let their pain & struggle go unnoticed without seeing the whole story of their lives. We had readings of poems and excerpts from published stories. We discussed as onlookers to genocide how we are feeling helpless powerless to stop this happening now ..no matter how we shout out STOP!

We recognise the lost lives, the lost dreams, the lost academic work too.. universities, schools, hospitals targets to destroy with all their research & academia. We discussed the pain of children witnessing the horrors of what immature adults can do.. failed adults to be Mature in the Wisdom of Peace and care for all.. adults lost in their delusional ego and distorted ideological thoughts to cause oppression and destruction of others.

How sad and thought provoking on the madness that as we a group of people from all cultures, all religions all ages were sharing our pain and hugging one another in love & care....YET .. across the Atlantic a perpetrator of horrendous crimes, defined by the International Criminal Court as a Criminal...was getting a standing ovation in the US Senate .. The distortion of lost morals.  The distortion of deluded egos, The distortion of hypocrisy..

Those of us driven by love care compassion peace for one another must shatter the Hall of Mirrors distortion that deluded egos create in this very precious world. A planet home we all share..that cries out for man to care not destroy! 

I was handed a booklet of poems by Jayan here is one I have selected that makes us think of how we need to see and act ... to stop this madness   Scroll down you will see some of my work with my Palestinian  nurse from 2014 ...
