The Undercurrent
Understanding Selflessness
“A Kurdish woman, Sevinaz Evdike, dedicates herself to helping these women even though their husbands may have killed her countrymen.“ - James Jackson, in The Times of London, on the subject of ISIS war brides
I can’t begin to comprehend
the vast reserves of goodness
in your bones. For they must be ingrained
that deep. To know
a giving up of hate as totally
as yours, as utterly holy
as all the golden cups and coins
that fill the stores of popes and sheikhs
and other men who wear God’s hand-me-downs,
is something I cannot approach.
For hate and vengeance course within
my thoughts from day to day.
And knowing of your sacrifice to love,
to better worlds of hope and compassion,
is as close as I may come
to understanding selflessness.

HAPPY JUNETEENTH
Red, black and green
PanAfricanist's dream
Celebrating Juneteenth
Hue mens set free
End of slavery
Or so it seems
Except the thirteenth
Has loopholes beneath
Shackles and chains
Today on our brains
Torment sustained
Epigenetic remains
So many slain
Soil is stained
Clinically insane
Pain retained
PanAfricanist's dream
Celebrating Juneteenth
Hue mens set free
End of slavery
Or so it seems
Except the thirteenth
Has loopholes beneath
Shackles and chains
Today on our brains
Torment sustained
Epigenetic remains
So many slain
Soil is stained
Clinically insane
Pain retained

Afghanistan's reckoning
Was this the war of faith, the infidel with his white face?
for zealot's on the back of trucks,
our courtship's cost,
for all the might, and frenzied pluck.
The drones without a conscience struck,
the warlords, did not care a fuck.
Each, stood as adversaries, chess pieces played,
the populous were killed and slayed.
But as Covid played its hand.
Trump declared "the loss to great and its demand"
Sound the bugle's clarion retreat,
to pack our bags, exit and leave.
Return, the middle age of cruelty
oppression, to target innocence, the man upon the street.
All those that sought a better life,
the dream that died, left incomplete
Just the wreckage, war winds blow,
the refugee's, desolation standing in a row.
For we just washed our hands
and left without a bow.
Shame carved, on each white headstone
memorials for the young and brave.
For prayers and tears, the gaping holes.
Those loved, and never coming home
With ideologies at odds, to depart with injured pride
Futility, counted as the final cost.
The coin of freedoms pocket robbed
vultures picked, all that remained alive

Not exactly global as far as current events go, but it is relatively current and could be classified as an event.
LOL

"A certain peace"
Warring armies made to fight neither side nor persuasion
That peoples remain divided by their social organizations
As the internationalist conflict special market movements
Single press is made to spin on two frauds of inducement,
By utilizing front populaire to suppress private commoner
Rotten social climber values do then emblazon in dominer
Determined mind's common mysteries covering the tricks
Here unholy feeding poison to abide hunger of the cliques,
Now down to the wire sloganeers, hence ignorant totality
Knowing not history of their country nor the world reality
Still to know nothing of philosophy as a past song unsung
Raising petty ambition made upon such fluttered tongues,
Given into delirium since but a pawn for this global game
As these hidden ruler's pieces slide into place by no fame
Complicated and simple net wrapping their world in links
Humbuged ideas spread everywhere to control as a jynx,
A false doctrine upon the ancient tower of secular worlds
Mental pimp pushing people towards life and death whirl,
To obtain that certain peace...
But only their peace...
Injustice system
Brandon supporters are now enabling pedophile Nazi tyrants to rule
The DOJ and FBI have been weaponized into woke supremacy mules
Eliminating all that do not bow and then suck off global agenda rites
Americana ass rape through murderous Antifa street thugs by night,
Legal activist ignore leftist sin then manufacture crimes of the people
So a country destroyed from within by champagne anarchist sheeple
Shutting down all energy independence into a totally dependent land
Releasing 80 billion in military supplies onto beheading terrorist sand,
Allowing cartels to child and drug traffic across the border, no refrain
So intentionally crippling supply chains to then bock and laugh insane
Suppressed free speech and digital book burning as to squash dissent
Changing this free country to nothing but Bolshevik police state intent.
The freedom merry go round has broken down and all lament...
