DefendAfrin


When in face of evil
Noone care to speak
When bombs are falling
We need to take a stand - #Rojava #DefendAfrin


 
A childhood stolen by war, scattered in fear, new hope in foreign land
She used to think the worst word was war, now realize even worse is the silence

When in face of evil
Noone care to speak
When bombs are falling
We need to take a stand - Efrîne Berxwedana

Safe to discover her youth, assured of a place still there, her grandparents house
Crushed to despair by a turkish bomb to rubble, scattering her hope

When in face of evil
Noone care to speak
When bombs are falling
We need to take a stand - Efrîne Berxwedana

She used to think the worst word was war, now realize even worse is the silence
so come on now, speak up, let her again put flowers in her hair and dance among the olivetrees

When in face of evil
Noone care to speak
When bombs are falling
We need to take stand - Efrîne Berxwedana

Music is the weapon



"Music is the weapon for the givers of life" said Fela Kuti
Thus it's no surprise that the terrorist from Daesh, attacked a concert. Daesh, Boko Haram, Taleban, Al-Qaeda are death-cults, they are takers of life, and hate music, dance and celebration of life - they celebrate death and hate

 The attack on a concert, on cafees and near a sport-event, show that the fight terror is a part of isn't a territorial fight, but a global battle, a battle of values, between the freedom of culture and those who want to control it, between the idea about people being free individuals who participate as citizens in their community and the idea of people being subjects to authority 

 We the lovers will continue to raise our voices, beat our drums, hit our keys, pump our bass, pick our strings - move to the rythm and fly with the melody  

  We praise life - we are beats4change and #playforpeace, #playforlove, #playforhumanity - we #playfortheworld
