There is an unhealthy seed growing in our societies, a seed of greed and grudge and hate, and unfortunately that seed is fertilized by a growing number of our politicians and so-called leaders.
If you are frustrated like I am with this situation, there's a few things you can do: vote these people out of office. Don't let your voice be silenced. Stand up for what you believe in and protest peacefully.
But first and foremost: be kind to one another.
Be kind to your neighbours, your colleagues, the people you meet on the street, the strangers, and those, whose opinions are different from yours. Kindness changes everything.
A lot of times we have this idea in our minds that our single voice doesn't make a difference. But this is not true. We are many. We are not alone.
In fact, I believe that the people who want to live in peace and freedom in this world are the vast majority. We just have to learn how to build a better network!
“Those who love peace must learn to organize as effectively as those who love war.”
(Martin Luther King Jr.)
Love & rock'n'roll,

JANUARY
(Jen Hajj / Martin Praetorius)
This winter's slowly creeping 'cross the land
I think it's going to linger
More than a hundred days
It maybe time to stock the pantry shelves
With food and human kindness
And other useful things
What once where friendly faces
Are now gazes turning colder
Can't be melted with a smile
I'm turning up my collar
To brace against the weather
And the bitterness of it all
January
You've never been a friend of mine
I always thought the darkest time
Of year
Hasn't arrived until you're here
January
Your Christmas lights are fading fast
A blacker cloud has come to cast
It's shadow
On the times we're living in
All I wanna do is hunker down
Go into hibernation
And wait for spring to come
Forget the frozen driveway, bundle up
Scrape the hoarfrost off the windshield
It's not a time to hide
Scattered across the countryside
The signal fires are burning
Calling out to kindred souls
Face the whipping wind
Make sure that no one is forgotten
We are many - we are not alone
January
You've never been a friend of mine
I always thought the darkest time
Of year
Hasn't arrived until you're here
January
Your Christmas lights are fading fast
A blacker cloud has come to cast
It's shadow
On the times we're living in
We need light for these times
We're living in
