Global Intellectual

Hafez and I grew up together in Shiraz, centuries apart with similar poetic ether. Wandering the world together as if from the same mother. We were never actually together the word reincarnated is better. He lives in me and we suffer together humanity's woes and ethnic the other. We're global intellectuals chanting together not the salute of flags and land of the mother we preach the ethos of unity and together in trenches of peace and harmony with the other. We renounce war as our destiny together and throw nationalism to dustbin as we gather, tall we stand, and humble, together on shoulders of giants like Tolstoy, Schweitzer, Camus and reverent other But, wait, Hafez has asked to write a new stanza together song of world peace and none other. In you, full of yourself, we enter together Go fill your heart with love of the other. Dedication: To Noam Chomsky
