Haiti hits us twice

Jan 20, 2010 Letters

Dear Editor,
As we remember Dr Martin Luther King’s sterling sacrifice to ensure a world without injustice and racism we still have a dream!
That in this dream the human soul will journey to a place of no hurt and Haitians will get a chance to receive moksha and salvation from centuries of constructed poverty and the sting of terrible floods and quakes.
We dream that people will not make their bellies filled on the expense of these widows and orphans.
We dream that this crisis doesn’t become the opportunity for corporate agendas and political ambitions. The brotherhood of man and the cries of the babies leaving the arms of mothers are the singular motives of every donor’s conscience.
Let this dream go on that people are more fulfilled by a good word and sincere counsel than food thrown at them from bags deliberately labeled and water saturated with other thoughts.
May this dream continue where generosity is the religion of those who volunteer and regardless of what taxpayers contribute or what evil traditions some practiced, this is the time to test your humanity and not your theological judgment.
Pain is karma everyone has to taste and in empathy of those in pain one receives immeasurable divine resurgence.
I have a dream for my people that that nation which was lead by Boukman and Toussaint may for once and again have an infrastructure that will withstand the corruption of the wicked and be a formidable stake against the dance of the tectonic plates in the future.
Let’s dream and wake up holding onto our dreams and in so doing acting on our dream of a better world will take shape even if we perceive reluctance in some and lethargy in others.
Quran 2:262: Those who spend their substance in the cause of God, and follow not up their gifts with reminders of their generosity or with injury – for them their reward is with their Lord: on them shall be no fear, nor shall they grieve.
Habeeb Alli.
