We the Bretheren

WE THE BRETHEREN I’ve a friend, Chang, Chinese his roommate, Chin Lee, Japanese. Lee married Shernaz, a brunette whose father is from Pakistan and mother from South Africa. Shernaz’s childhood friend is Sofia an American…whose Russian teacher is Spasky, Alexander Spasky from Slovakia When we meet together so often we do, it’s festival. We drink, we eat, and we chat and laugh when our hues disappear, and our different accents tickle our funny bones. We feed each other with our respective ethnic cuisines and relish each other’s pleasure. That’s when we become transparent and find each in other. But often we wonder “Who’re they; the Jihads; who are making chemical weapons and who is grooming the economic hit men?” We know the answers as well “Those lunatics we ourselves, the saner brethren have elected to rule us all.” “There are only two classes in the world the rulers and the ruled!” Then again we question ourselves “Who are we then; helpless fools or voiceless intellects?”
