🌕MOON IS WITNESS 

Today Moon does not look away. 
Today Moon bears witness. 
Today Moon lends light to grief and the things we would hide.
Today Moon is beautiful and illuminates the horror.

🌕Shining equally on all, there is no fleeing anymore.

🌕Shining on the children in the rubble who have their names written on their arms for identification. 

🌕Shining on those whose last sounds are chants pleading to a merciful god. 

🌕Shining in those whose last breath is ash.

🌕Shining on the mothers with lifeless babes in their arms.

🌕Shining on those who skin is aflame with white phosphorus raining from the sky.

🌕Shining on those millions whose hearts are utterly breaking by this failure of humanity.

🌕Shining on those in shock and numbness, not knowing what to do, what to say.

🌕Shining on those whose sacred rage is a compass for setting things right, 

seeking to re-order the world.

🌕Shining on those whose rage is fuel for vengeance. 

🌕Shining on those whose wounds are so deep, hearts so calloused, they now blow their pain and power through countless other bodies.

🌕Shining on the devastated land, whose countless more-the-human kin are blasted out of existence.

🌕Shining on the deep need for safety and peace, which all beings deserve. 

🌕Shining on all the sacred longings for Life and Liberation.

Today Moon does not look away. 
Today Moon bears witness. 
Today Moon lends light to grief and the things we would hide. 
Today Moon is beautiful and illuminates the horror.
