176 passengers on flight 752
flying to a destination of love and hope
perished by a violent missile.
176 brilliant lights
brutally distinguished
abruptly and permanently.
The violence
a result of the escalation of conflicts of states
driven by hawkish politicians
for their self-serving or sinister political agendas.
Ghanimat Azhdari
a promising scientist
a passionate territorial conservationist
a fierce indigenous rights activist
a bright light
a hurricane of passion
wrote in her email before boarding Flight 725
“We hope for peace in 2020
in the region as well as the world.”
Ghanimat Azhdari
from a nomadic tribe
fought for the conservation of the beauty and peace of the lands.
A role model
for all citizens on the earth.
Only when all citizens on earth advocate peace,
Only when the masculine hawks are gone,
Only when the political system and culture enabling masculinity, hawkishness and violence are changed,
Only when the world is filled with doves of gentle souls,
then the earth and sky become a safe heaven,
then people can fly
without fear of violence
without the ravages of violence
but blessings of peace.
