By Bina (Sarkar Ellias)
the waves are waves
they come and go
through infinity’s
song of ebb and flow.
the sands of time
count you and I
what we’ve written
before we die.
while some have lived
with love and giving
some have lived
with hate and killing.
while some will
bloom in memories
some will rot
in our histories.
the saints and rogues
they come and go
in sacred waters
and blood they flow.
and every day
the swords and knives
are sharpened to
assault our lives.
your voice is gagged
your tongue is nipped
the lynchers stalk
they have you stripped
of all your rights~
the rights you claimed
they want you dead
or maimed and tamed.
the waves are waves
they come and go
through infinity’s
song of ebb and flow.
thus, plant more love
let’s warm the clime
let’s heal the hurt,
the wounds of time.

The Importance of Arts, Culture, The Creative Process, and how this project resonates with you:
The Arts, Culture, and Creative Forces are what allow us to breathe in this increasingly fractured world. Not only is it therapeutic for the creative person but it's a vocabulary that has no walls or boundaries... no nations or empires. It's a language that embraces all, therefore... we need to nurture the Arts, plant seeds of its innumerable creative possibilities in children so they may grow into strong trees of evolved excellence.
What was the inspiration for your creative work?
Since childhood, I was drawn to the arts and literature.
Tell us something about the natural world that you love and don’t wish to lose. What are your thoughts on the kind of world we are leaving for the next generation?
The natural world is our mother. It cares for us. The soil, the environment, oceans, rivers, and mountains, the birds, insects, and animals are our family and we need to respect them. We need to coexist in a world of peace and compassion... however Utopian it sounds!
