Poems

I have been writing poems periodically throughout my weeks here and thought I would share some.

This first one I wrote on the first day after our discussion on Human Rights definitions, documents etc.:


Human rights mean nothing if they're not realized
and exist only in a world of which we fantacize.
A world where we don't turn blind eyes
to violations and cries;
declarations and international law truly implies
action, and noone denies
the global realities our media hides.

Stop the debate on who responsibility lies
its on everyone everywhere, regardless of position or size.
And with all of our tries
the human rights movement will rise.
We won't have to close our eyes
to fantacize
because all over the world, human rights will be clearly defined
and the world comprised
of countries who comply
discrimination and hatred won't fly
and violators criminilized.
Freedom of thought and expression
opinion, religion, freedom to question,
no person, no group marginalized.

Until then we can't just dream passively,
but through education and advocacy,
We'll see the time when human rights globally,
are honoured, respected,
and realized.
