मर्जी / Wish – Kaushal Kishore

 

जब भी कोशिश करता हूं 

मैं तुम्हें भुलाने की,

याद आने लगती है 

मुझे फिर से तुम्हारी,

बेकार है तुम्हें भुलाने की कोशिश,

मेरी मर्जी चलती ही नहीं…

🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹

Every attempt to erase you 

from my thoughts, 

only brings forth again

a flood of memories, 

trying to forget you is futile; 

my wish doesn’t work…

Can It Happen Again? | Filosofa’s Word

Attendants at this secret meeting are largely wealthy business people and far-right political leaders.  This ‘master plan’ they have come together to discuss centers around what they are calling “re-migration”.  The plan is to forcibly extradite three groups of people:  asylum seekers, non-Germans with residency rights, and “non-assimilated” German citizens.  What is meant by “non-assimilated” German citizens?  Basically, anybody with the ‘wrong’ skin colour, the ‘wrong’ parentage, ‘wrong’ gender identification, or who just don’t agree with the far-right ideology being proposed.  Rather like some in the U.S. who would like to turn the nation into a white, straight, Christian nation.  Or perhaps … rather like Adolf Hitler who wished to rid Germany of Jews, gypsies, LGBTQ people and others who didn’t share his vision of a white Aryan nation.

The plan focused on the “reversed settlement” of the three aforementioned groups to an unspecified “model state” in North Africa with room for some 2 million people.  And according to the ‘plan’, anybody who protests this reverse migration would be sent to join them in that model state. The ‘plan’ is eerily reminiscent of the Nazi’s 1940 plan to deport four million Jews to the island of Madagascar.

The secret meeting was headlined by Martin Sellner, an Austrian activist associated with neo-Nazi movements.  Germans have spent the last 80 years trying to overcome the stigma left by the Nazi regime in the first half of the 20th century, and now this party essentially wants to bring back that Nazi regime!  The AfD party has been gaining traction in opinions polls and is on track to win three state elections this fall in eastern Germany.  The rise in support for AfD is reminiscent of the rise in support for ‘maga’ in the U.S., for example the popular conspiracy theory about “population replacement” — a popular conspiracy theory among the far-right about migrants being used to replace white populations in Germany.  Sound familiar?  Remember the Republican conspiracy called the “Great Replacement Theory”?  Another similarity is that the approval ratings of the center-left governing coalition, have plummeted to record lows amid higher costs of living, a budget crisis and the debate over migration.  Again … sound familiar?

My Rock~ A~Bye – yaskhan

I lay myself to sleep in night’s sky 
Cradled in a rock~a~bye 
Moon hears my sleepy sighs 
Stars sing me a lullaby 
I slumber in the hush of dreams 
cradled in the musings of treasured reveries 
Feathered clouds embrace my eyelids 
Sleep unwraps the lattice of my yearnings 
Moistened eyes touch pillow 
As starlit shadows breathe 
A moonlit serenade…

I see heaven in my chimera..
