Prophet’s Melody (Memory and Hope)

Baton Rouge matters (2)

By Omar with permission 2016

“ .. if anything can, it is memory that will save humanity.

For me, hope without memory is like memory without hope.” – Elie Wiesel

 

Elie-Wiesel-QuotesI want to touch

the arm of Elie Wiesel

while he calls down hope

 

I want to feel

my children’s children’s

wonderful melody

 

Sitting Bull - graphite pencil sketch by Greg Joens (2)I want to see

the eyes of Sitting Bull

before he dies the prophets fate

 

Before the days of Baton Rouge

before the days of hate

 

I want to look

upon the face of god

my unblinking desire

 

Before the night of darkest dread

before the winds of fire ..

 

TRC“Human beings should be held accountable. Leave God alone. He has enough problems.”

– Elie Wiesel

#MoralResistance

Faith and Moral Leaders Prepare for Direct Actions

“We, as people of faith and moral conscience, pledge to support the resistance of laws and policies that threaten the safety of targeted communities. In solidarity with refugees, immigrants, Muslims, black people, and seekers of a more just world, we will join or support those who engage in civil disobedience, whether as protesters, medics, legal observers, witnesses, or care providers.“ #MoralResistance #RevolutionaryLove

Dear Friends,

I just signed the campaign: We Support Civil Disobedience as #MoralResistance.

Will you join me by taking action on this campaign?

After you’ve signed the petition please also take a moment to share it with others.  It’s super easy – all you need to do is forward this email.

Thank you!

Pope Francis told the Belgian Catholic weekly “Tertio” that spreading disinformation was “probably the greatest damage that the media can do” and using communications for this rather than to educate the public amounted to a sin.

Using precise psychological terms, he said scandal-mongering media risked falling prey to coprophilia, or arousal from excrement, and consumers of these media risked coprophagia, or eating excrement.

The Argentine-born pontiff excused himself for using such terms in order to get his point across while answering a question about the correct use of the media.

“I think the media have to be very clear, very transparent, and not fall into — no offese intended — the sickness of coprophilia, that is, always wanting to cover scandals, covering nasty things, even if they are true,” he said.

“And since people have a tendency towards the sickness of coprophagia, a lot of damage can be done.”
