Songs I Like (8) | beetleypete

I was a fan of the late Curtis Mayfield from the first time I heard his voice as part of the group The Impressions, in the 1960s. When he left them for a solo career in 1970, I followed his career as he released albums and contributed music to film soundtracks until his death in 1999.

This song ‘Move On Up’ from his debut solo album in 1970 impressed me with its soulful feel and pace, so became one of my favourites. This is the short .45 single version.

The Wise Build Bridges | From Behind the Pen

Image Source: Pop Culture Uncovered

“More connects us than separates us. In times of crisis, the wise build bridges, while the foolish build barriers.”
~ King T’Challa (Chadwick Boseman), Black Panther
Building bridges helps to unite things, people, and places that are separated by rips of division, or barriers of isolation. If we would only communicate civilly, we will discover how much more we have in common than disconnect.

Peace|صلح – A Voice from Iran

From a friend;

I wish I could get a broom in my hands, a bucket of water, a duster, a dustpan, and clean the earth from the North to the South.

Wash the windows of the earth from the East to the West.

Freshen the rivers, dredge the lakes, and shake the deserts.

Tidy the mountains, put flowers on the shelves of the rocks.

Water all the fields, forests, gardens, and prune the dry branches.

I wish to sew cloudy dresses for the sky, braid the wheat fields, and milk all the cows of the world.

Bake some fresh bread, set a clean table, and fill it with fresh and delicious simplicity.

And invite all the people of the world to a cup of peace, and a bite of happiness.

Fill their hearts with love, hope and high spirits.

And anywhere I see cruelty and war, clean it with brightness of love…

Guns and weapons trafficked from US fueling Haiti gang violence – Stigmatis

Experts say most guns smuggled from states with lax firearms laws such as Florida, Arizona and Georgia

A large portion of these, said Robert Muggah, a security expert and co-founder of the Igarapé Institute security thinktank, are obtained in the US by straw purchasers (buyers who obtain the guns on behalf of the smugglers). The weapons are largely bought in states with weak gun regulations like Florida, Arizona, Texas and Georgia.

“Easily accessible firearms from the US are one of several factors that are deepening Haiti’s instability,” Muggah said. “The abundance of high-powered rifles, handguns and ammunition is dramatically amplifying the power of criminal gangs who easily outgun Haiti’s depleted national police and modest security agencies.
