Eons ago I watched America wipe Iraq in a brutal,colonialistic and terror filled war..... a war? It was obliteration.
The strafing of boys on an empty desert highway...... the slaughter of thousands....... terrible dying.
I saw that road today
I stood as close as I could
And the echoes of those dead
Slapped my face
I remembered watching media of this slaughter
And thanking whatever that I was not there
I was there
Today
Such a profound proximity to death.
Yet we found the antithesis of the horror
It is the Pilgimage
For Imam Hussein
And millions make it
And
The spiritual love and generosity that flowed
The kindness of these Muslim men
Undid the sadness
Brought love into self
And a strong appreciation
For goodness from good people
I am blessed.
