Kudos to Kaepernick. I just cannot drown all my beliefs and ideas, even if it contradicts my flesh and soul. When I heard that not standing up to the tune; that has always succeeded on sweeping all of the messes underneath the sad reality, to be deemed as subversive, I know that Rosa would definitely clench onto the seat tighter than ever. Kneel, my friend, kneel. To drag our body out there, all over the precious hills and fields, while acting as if the scale has always been set fairly beneath you all this time, will hurt you more than myself. How can a mere matter of things decide our future, our destiny? We shall shape our fate, you shall shape your own fate, and to be judged on the perception biasedly built in the name of order for thousands of years, is a situation that should not be endured by anyone or anything in a tiny dot within this vast universe. Kneel, my friend, kneel. And for that, I cannot stand proudly and profess my love to you as of now, even though I will always wear my heart on my sleeve for you to see. To be cheated, to be manipulated, to be deemed as surplus, by those at the tip of the plateau, that cunningly asked us to forget all the tangles and wrangles for the love of this sacred land, while unashamedly distribute everything off the land, off the ocean amongst them, is the last thing that we should allow to happen. I am one of those people that are not able to put on the mask on top of our meant-to-be honest faces, to say hail to the thief is worse than the eternal grief. I have never dreamed of burying the hatchet with them, not even for a second and if I ever do it, I shall be condemned and dismissed for forgetting the roots, the fons et origo of mine. To love you does not mean to stand still to the soulless melodies, to love you does not mean to bow down to the meaningless piece of cloth that has overseen countless infiltration and bombing over the years. Kneel, my friend, kneel. To love you is to fight for the rights of many, by any means, even by not standing up. When black is no longer the symbol of miserable, filth and calamity, we shall then breath with ease, stand on our feet and fully embrace the real meaning behind all those majestic words. Kudos to Kaepernick.

Kudos to you for being a soldier. Kudos to them for fighting for their rights. Kudos to us for not being afraid (or being afraid for all the right reasons). Kudos for the children. Kudos for the adults. Kudos for the people of earth for surviving yet another day.

Kudos
She had kissed me as I slept near her father, More than now I have not felt any farther. She pursues her dreams self-focussed, And she has moved on in that life of hers, My best wish is that only her I wished. She so dedicatedly chases all her dreams, Mine she was the only dream I ever pursued. That kiss was more gratituos than sensuous, She had woken me up for an active kiss. Those wee hours I cannot forget ever, Because just like a surreal dream it was, She became a one night angel for me. Those moments one could never forget, She is the new generation – maybe she can.

Whitman printed 795 copies of the first edition of Leaves of Grass, but the book did not sell particularly well. About 200 copies of the 1855 edition are known to survive today.Apr 6, 2011
