solidarity

it's not fair
is it-

you tear
the land
in search of food;

while

i tear
my hands
in search of rhymes.

someday, brother
i will stand with you
someday, sister,
i will sing with you

someday soon i will

stand.
and sing.
and get beaten.

Hey Baruk... this is Bryan, Arul's friend!
I finally revisited my blog and saw your comment last week... a good two and some years after the post.
Thanks much.
I have decided i must start blogging again so I'll be dropping by and reading your stuff intermittently.

cheers man!
