Be Near Me

Be near me now,
My tormenter, my love, be near me—
At this hour when night comes down,
When, having drunk from the gash of sunset, darkness comes
With the balm of musk in its hands, its diamond lancets,
When it comes with cries of lamentation,
with laughter with songs;
Its blue-gray anklets of pain clinking with every step.
At this hour when hearts, deep in their hiding places,
Have begun to hope once more, when they start their vigil
For hands still enfolded in sleeves;
When wine being poured makes the sound
of inconsolable children
who, though you try with all your heart,
cannot be soothed.
When whatever you want to do cannot be done,
When nothing is of any use;
—At this hour when night comes down,
When night comes, dragging its long face,
dressed in mourning,
Be with me,
My tormenter, my love, be near me.

- Faiz Ahmed Faiz -
1911 – 1984

06 February Anniversary Message from Leonard Peltier

posted on behalf of Leonard Peltier Defense Offense Committee

2012-02-04T20:10:00.000Z

One good man or one good woman can change the world, can push back the evil, and their work can be a beacon for millions, for billions.
Are you that man or woman? If so, may the Great Spirit bless you. If not, why not? We must each of us be that person. That will transform the world overnight.
That would be a miracle, yes, but a miracle within our power, our healing power.

Dry path, all through life
Having been born with a cry
In a hatred
Turning on itself.

Thus was the
Great absence.
Thus was
The story of the ruin.

If only freedom
Could sing a song
Small, smaller even ...
Than the throat of a bird.

Even if

Even if you destroy
The configuration of the whole world,
Even if you deconstruct
This earth as a shred of cotton,
Whenever the borders are redrawn,
I will come back to this town again,
I will make my homeland
Only in Kurdistan.

- Latif Halmat -

On the mountains, in the plains and valleys
I cried:
O my hungry homeland
I love you and I love you
here I am ploughing this land
with my eyelashes
turning it into farms and orchards
which grow red flowers and beautiful poems
for the children of the coming world
a world of freedom, love and peace.

from Latif poem Nazim Hikmet Talks With Humanity

born in 1947 in Kurdistan, Latif Halmat is one of the most outstanding modern Kurdish poets of my generation.

Are showing me the path on which to write;

Are telling me "let yourself fall
And you will rediscover the path to freedom."
