I have to ask
Why are you racist
spouting scripture
telling lies?

How can you qualify
yourself, a moral authority,
while endangering
community lives?

People need
housing, healthcare,
therapy,
Clean water to drink.

While you fight
for rich and
well-connected… #thread

Society is on the brink!

Every human
matters here
not only people
you approve or control

Standby for what?
More lawless behavior?
Can’t peacefully vote
at the polls

Women’s bodies politicized
Schools unsafe
People canceled
Books burned

Awakening again
to violence and death

Empty prayers
No lessons learned.

I have to ask
Where is your love
for people
evident in your work?

On second thought
asking is futile
Light makes no
exception for dirt.

@TbiHindi

(1/6)हिंदी साहित्य में अगर किसी कवि को लोककवि होने का दर्जा प्राप्त है तो वह हैं बाबा नागार्जुन!
नागार्जुन का जन्म 30 जून, 1911 को हुआ था। वह प्रगतिवादी विचारधारा के लेखक और कवि थे। नागार्जुन ने 1945 ई. के आसपास साहित्य क्षेत्र में क़दम रखा।

(2/6)उनका असली नाम वैद्यनाथ मिश्र था, पर हिन्दी साहित्य में उन्होंने 'नागार्जुन' तथा मैथिली में 'यात्री' उपनाम से रचनाओं का सृजन किया।
नागार्जुन की कविताओं को उनके समय और जीवन की डायरी के रूप में भी देखा जा सकता है। उनके काल की शायद ही कोई महत्वपूर्ण राजनैतिक और

(3/6)सामाजिक घटना होगी, जिसे उनकी कविता में स्थान न मिला हो।

ऐसी ही एक मर्मस्पर्शी कविता है -

'गुलाबी चूड़ियां'

प्राइवेट बस का ड्राइवर है तो क्या हुआ,
सात साल की बच्ची का पिता तो है!
सामने गियर से उपर
हुक से लटका रक्खी हैं
काँच की चार चूड़ियाँ गुलाबी
बस की रफ़्तार के मुताबिक

H. PARAMESHWARA 🇮🇳 (H.పరమేశ్వర రావు) RAO

@ParameswaraRaoH

నవ్య కవితా పితామహునిగా పేరుపొందిన రాయప్రోలు సుబ్బారావు (మార్చి 17, 1892 - జూన్ 30, 1984) తెలుగులోభావ కవిత్వానికి ఆద్యుడు. ఈయన 1913లో వ్రాసిన తృణకంకణముతో తెలుగు కవిత్వములో నూతన శకము ఆరంభమైనదని అంటారు. ఇందులో ఈయన అమలిన శృంగార తత్వాన్ని ఆవిష్కరించాడు. #Telugu #Poet

ప్రేమ పెళ్ళికి దారితీయని యువతీయువకులు స్నేహితులుగా మిగిలిపోవడానికి నిర్ణయించుకున్న ఇతివృత్తముతో ఖండకావ్య ప్రక్రియకు అంకురార్పణ చేశాడు.

కళాకారుని ఊహలు, భావాలు, సృజనాత్మకతకు ప్రాధాన్యమిచ్చే కళారూపం భావుకత. 18వ శతాబ్దంలో జర్మనీ, ఫ్రాన్సు దేశాలలో వికసించిన ఈ కళాప్రక్రియ

చిత్రకారులనూ, రచయితలనూ, శిల్పులనూ, కవులనూ గాఢంగా ప్రభావితం చేసింది. పాశ్చాత్యదేశాలలో పరిమళించిన ఈ భావుకతను రాయప్రోలు తెలుగులో విరజిమ్మాడు. సంస్కృత రచనలపై అతిగా ఆధారపడిన తెలుగు కవిత్వాన్ని స్వతంత్ర రచనలవైపు మళ్ళించాడు.

Innocence proved only show
Signs all read
Devoured slow

Blindness faked in vivid world
Transparent "mask" upon girl

Lessons learned through history
Prove a lack of mystery

Quicker falls

Number's equal

Requiring a kind of deep
Company chosen
Just can't keep

Passion needy
No supply
Beg for feeding

Lustful?
Must be an illusion
Fear assuming such conclusion

In war of pride do not fight
Let falseness live beyond eyesight

Forgive
Yet never forget
Hold not to anger that they don't regret

Been down the rabbit-hole of #Croatian #folklore - here's a #thread of what I found:

'#VAMPIRES IN DALMATIA: THE EXAMPLE OF THE VILLAGE OF ŽRNOVO ON THE ISLAND OF #KORČULA IN THE EIGHTEENTH CENTURY' hrcak.srce.hr/138625

This one is especially close as its my family island.

'From #Folklore to Fiction: Early Literary Manifestations of the #Vampire Motif' hrcak.srce.hr/200179

Fun fact: the term 'vampyr' first appeared in an 11th century Slavic manuscript vilifying #Bogomils, a #Gnostic dualist heresy that was endemic to the #Balkans

'#Witches' Zoopsychonavigations and the Astral Broom in the Worlds of #Croatian Legends as (Possible) Aspects of #Shamanistic Techniques of Ecstasy (and Trance)' researchgate.net/publication/33…

HOW TO BE A #POET
by #WendellBerry
(to remind myself)

Make a place to sit down.
Sit down. Be #quiet.
You must depend upon
#affection, reading, knowledge,
skill — more of each
than you have — #inspiration,
work, growing older, patience,
for #patience joins time
to eternity.

2of6

Any #readers
who like your #poems,
doubt their judgment.

3of6

#Breathe with unconditional breath
the unconditioned air.

Shun electric wire.

#Communicate slowly.

#Live a three-dimensioned life;

stay away from screens.

On #InternationalMountainDay, we encourage you to read about the historic struggle forest dwelling #Adivasi communities in Odisha have been waging to protect their #Niyamgiri mountain from rapacious, extractive bauxite mining.bit.ly/2P9d5I0 bit.ly/38ro72V

@puruthakur

While they won a landmark victory against mining in 2013, the threats to their ancestral land remain. Listen to Rajkishor Sunani, #poet-#activist, sing about this at the #Niyamgiri festival. bit.ly/35bA7Up @puruthakur

Furthermore,the #RTI Act & #ForestRightsAct that have legally empowered such indigneous struggles & tried to redress historic injustices meted out to them is under threat.Forest dwelling communities have been mobilising against this:bit.ly/36rBQVA bit.ly/2sgnNn8

I keep being asked what #Dickens would have made of #Brexit. Charles & Catherine Dickens took their family to live in #Genoa, #Italy for a year (in 1844-1845) – something Brits will no longer be able to do after 29 March. #travel

Before moving to #Italy, Charles #Dickens employed Antonio Gallenga, a political #refugee from #Parma who had migrated to #London, to teach him Italian. In #Brexit Britain, Gallenga would no longer be allowed to work legally.

#Dickens wrote a #travelogue about his year in #Italy. ‘Pictures from Italy’ details the family’s travels through #Europe to their new home in #Genoa, & Dickens' #travels around the country. In #Brexit Britain Dickens would no longer have the right to work in another EU country.

Objective #art is possible only when somebody has attained to a higher plane of being; it is created by those who have reached the peak. They can see the peak and they can see the valley both. They can see the height, the beauty, the sickness and the ugliness of #humanity.

They can see deep down in the dark valleys. They can manage to create some devices which will help the people who are crawling in the darkness to reach the sunlit peaks. Their art will be just a device for your inner #growth, for #maturity.

Picasso’s pictures are subjective art. Seeing a painting by Picasso … he has not considered you, who are going to see the painting. You are not taken into account at all. He has simply vomited his own madness on the canvas. It is simply a vomit.
