cry

i always knew poppies are the cry of the soul ....
they grow and fly on the wind like magic butterflies
when we break this cry it just lays in our hands in shape of tears
and smiles .....
my poppies have this power, to keep my cry of revolt alive !!!

Boicot a la presencia de Guillermo Habacuc Vargas en la Bienal Centroamericana Honduras 2008

www.petitiononline.com/13031953/

this guy from Costa Rica, who is considered an artist, picked an abandoned dog in the street for his exibit, left it there tied with a rope without food & water and let him die in the gallery !!! yes, this insane-saddistic act was part of the show !!! some visitors asked him to free the dog but he just refused .... gosh, we don't ask, we ACT !!!
"eres lo que lees" (you are what you read), he writes in the wall with dog's food !!!
and he was invited to represent his country in a Bienal or whatever ??? he should be banned !!!

if you are what you read i am what i do !!!!
Shame on you, Habacuc !!!!!

Power comes and goes. It can vanish in the twinkling of an eye, like smoke dissolving in the air.

Hanging

Method of execution still used in 40 countries and as sole method in 18 countries .... may be the number is lesser now.

who doesn’t know about Iran which leads the world in juvenile executions ???
who doesn’t remember Mahmoud Asgari and Ayaz Marhoni, the 2 boys who were hanged in public in 2005 just because they have had a gay relationship ???
who doesn’t remember Saddam ???
Pakistan has more prisoners on the row than USA.

But many people don’t know this is actually the only method of execution in Japan.
Japan and USA are the only developed and democratic countries to retain the death penalty.

i have no many words today, may be because i am a little tired of making little resumes of what is happening in USA and Worldwide, anyway i just wanted to pass the message of this barbarian government/state sanctioned murder.
so, i ask:
open your eyes and heart, don’t hide them from this terrible reality.
