#LostSoulz: No Relief

#LostSoulz: No Relief

My heart goes out to all those in the U.S., Puerto Rico and the Caribbean region that lost everything this hurricane season.

Today and every day in Palestine, Yemen, Lebanon, Libya, Afghanistan, Iraq, and Syria, it’s “hurricane” season. Most lost what they owned, more than a million people lost family members. 

For most, there is no relief in sight, no relief agency powerful enough to end the perpetual war that has come to their countries. 

This haunts me. 

It antagonizes my soul. I see no solution to our domestic problems, (including disaster relief,) except voting the war-mongering, corporate prostitutes out of office. Perhaps someday before empathy is completely dead, a 1000, or a 100,000 or a million concerned folks will organize and say, “ENOUGH.”

Bombing and killing and destroying homes, schools, libraries, and critical infrastructure IS the definition of terror. It neither liberates, brings “democracy” or improves life for anyone but those in the weapons business. 

Whether it’s a family huddled in the rubble, or a family here wading knee-deep in flood waters, I try to put myself in their shoes. 

Sympathy is great, send a card. Empathy on the other hand demands action. Culpability starts with our Congress. I hope in the coming months there is a groundswell of action to begin replacing those in office.

Peace to all.

One Heart💗
