Savorrenge, kuch phralale, phenjale

After two years of hard work by many volunteers, World Artists Initiative "Khetanes" is now offering opportunities to present itself in public. This autumn, grant applications for Cultural and Media projects will be prepared for the years ahead. I understand that some of you are discouraged, and maybe even depressed, by the rise of the far right and by the ongoing violations of our civil and human…

((It was suggested that I post two new poems, one of them this one.  I also posted an old one called "The Forgotten People."))

I sit helpless, watching from across the water

As what I have predicted for so long

Unfolds slowly, a blossom of agony



I sit ranting futilely, watching from across the water

As sparks of hate catch flame

Fueled by governments and media



I sit in tears, watching from across the water

Knowing that these next couple of…

American Rromani

(I do not like the term “minority” but I use it here because it is the only term I can think of to encompass ethnic, racial, sexual minorities. I am referencing all.



The first two stanzas are idealized and somewhat sarcastic)

The Forgotten People



Shot in the streets,

Bodies left to rot.

Thought less than human,

A criminal lot.

Men, women, children,

All treated the same.

The Nazi Regime,

Had no sense of shame.



The final numbers hidden,

Dismissed and…

Ujabb zsidóverés a Belvárosban:

Budapesti életkép. Előbb jön a zászló, aztán a menetelés, majd a beszólások, végül a verés és a megsemmisítés - ha megtehetik

Budapest – Ittas fiatalok péntek este a budapesti utcán megtámadtak egy zsidót. Lapunk nem sokkal az előtt beszélt az áldozattal, hogy az a látleletért az orvoshoz, onnan pedig a rendőrségre indult volna feljelentést tenni hétfőn, kora este. Az egyik budapesti zsinagóga elöljáróinak egyike…

This is in response to a young lady among us who is hurting after being told who and what she is (or isn't) and after being sent some hate speech.

There are those in the US who don't believe there are Romanies in the US. There are those around the world who don't believe we can make a choice, make a difference, make a stand.
