War

beatrizesmer

The rapid-fire bullet pierced the heavy morning air, shattering the tranquility of dawn. The dew-covered grass trembled under the weight of the violence that unfolded, a stark contrast to the fragile veil of night that still lingered. There was no beauty in the song of guns, no romance in the cacophony of destruction. It was the relentless march of inevitability, cutting through innocence and guilt alike. War, with its indiscriminate fury, was a scourge that could not be reasoned with or appeased. As the mortar shells exploded and the grenades echoed in the distance, I found myself enveloped in a … Continue reading War

The anger in me …

beatrizesmer

The anger in me cannot write poems It sits and watches as my words struggle to break free it spits in the face of those who claim there is only one race While the sun is stained with innocent blood. It sits and watches as the words shatter into countless stanzas trying to find their place on my tongue, but I cannot form them into coherent thoughts, the anger sits in the corner of my heart, waiting for calm. The earth is burdened with the blood of the innocent as summer days are tainted with the souls of those who … Continue reading The anger in me …

May every dawn be a sacred moment, a chance to bow in humble gratitude for the abundance that surrounds me. For the shelter that enfolds me, the warmth of family, the vitality of a healthy body, and the flawed beauty of my mind. For the treasures of my talents, and the simple sustenance of a nourishing meal. May I never forget the richness of these blessings and may my heart overflow with thankfulness at the break of each new day. And as the night descends, may I seek out a glimmer of light, a breath of tranquility, and a wellspring … Continue reading Happy 2024!

The truth that many don’t want to see; a daily struggle for everyone who fights for justice

beatrizesmer

The advocacy for the Palestinian cause is a deeply challenging and often disheartening endeavor. The struggle to bring attention to the plight of the Palestinian people can feel like an exercise in futility, as if one is speaking into an empty void. Despite the overwhelming evidence of suffering, including videos, photographs, and firsthand testimonies, the status quo remains unchanged. Palestinians are forced to continually prove the severity of their circumstances, to document their misery and horror, in the hope of eliciting assistance and support from the international community. The burden placed on Palestinians to validate the gravity of their apocalyptic … Continue reading The truth that many don’t want to see; a daily struggle for everyone who fights for justice

Peace & Love

beatrizesmer

In the shattered echoes of the world’s conscience, I never thought I’d witness the day when the sanctity of life would be so callously disregarded. A day where the hallowed halls of hospitals, the fragile sanctuaries of refugee camps, and the sacred spaces of worship would be violated by the horrors of war. I never thought I’d witness the day where the innocent, the most vulnerable, are left to perish in the crucible of conflict, where the perpetrators of such atrocities cloak themselves in the guise of righteousness. I stand witness to the unfathomable, where the cries of babies in … Continue reading Peace & Love

In the quiet chambers of my soul, I am but a witness to the unfolding tapestry of miracles. Each breath that graces my being, a wondrous gift of life, a miracle in its own right.

I am but a humble traveler, navigating the labyrinth of time and space, guided by the constellations of miracles that illuminate my path. In the gentle caress of the morning sun, in the whispered secrets of the wind, and in … Continue reading Miracles …

In the naked light I saw ten thousand people, maybe more. People talking without speaking, people hearing without listening …

beatrizesmer

In the hush of the naked light, I beheld a sea of faces, countless souls adrift in the ebb and flow of existence. Ten thousand people, maybe more, their voices lost in the cacophony of life. Each one a solitary figure, lost in the crowd, speaking without words, hearing without truly listening. Their eyes, windows to the depths of their being, betrayed the silent yearning for connection, for understanding. Yet, amidst the noise and the chaos, their cries went unheard, their pleas unanswered. In the naked light, I witnessed the paradox of human existence – the struggle to be heard, … Continue reading In the naked light I saw ten thousand people, maybe more.
