As the world moves on, the mountains
wait for the day the veil of darkness is uncovered.

Artist: Patricia Hernandez

The burnt fragments have minds of their own,
chokes
pollutes the surrounding air.

Our hearts hot and burning
With fiery and flames
Yet when I look above
I see the names of those
That mattered
That changed
That created
That gave

Tell me, is the combination of
my dark brown eyes
and my long black hair,
an invitation for your bright white colonization?

When I want to move mountains
When I want to help
Here in the U.S. and there in India
The suffering of the world is screaming
Wherever I go, I hear it

Artist: Pal G. Koak
