Nature’s tutorials
for wayward
leaders in control of human societies
London Wednesday 12 October 2005 AD
8 Ramadaan 1426 AH


Extracts:



Whither humanity after
the latest natural disaster?

Will the ‘leaders’ grabbing hold of power
relent in the lying and get off the tower
of lies
of spin
of photo-calls
of fake ‘cross-ethnic-child-hugging’
and will they concede that their positions
in power do not mean they are clever
let alone in any shape or form cleverer
than the people holding no office of power?

Will all the kind hearted people across the world
stop underestimating the power the people have
and start thinking of a global peoples’ alliance
for sharing the wealth of nature
for protecting the wealth of nature
for respecting the wealth of nature
for defending the trust of nature ?

Will the mothers, fathers, siblings, friends
going through the indescribable agony of
bereavement, loss, absence
in Pakistan-’administered’ Kashmir
in India-’administered’ Kashmir
in Kashmir
in Pakistan
in India
in Guatemala
in the still affected parts of the southern USA
be blessed with the strength of faith
be blessed with the memories of humanity
of their lost dear and near ones
to overcome the pain and the most unexpected
separation!

Will the apologists for warmongers
staring with the small scale local ones
in the vicinity of the devastated Asian regions
and extending all the way to the Texan address
have an ‘attack’ of humanity and be humbled
for good
and turn away from their
murderous genocidal racist
plots and plans?

Will the global tutorials
in care compassionate thought
as generously held by the tsunami
and then by Katrina
and now by the quake in Asia
teach the basic rules about
our world
to the most ignorant bands
of robbers
posing as our world’s
warmongering leaders?
