Ohmygod Word Warriors
I love ❤
when are you coming to nepal next time ?
I would like to have the lyrics in the description on every poem :c English is not my first language so sometimes the subtitles are not enough.
Here you are:
parentheses mean they are speaking together; slashes mean i didn't quite understand the word and put the phonetic spelling in as near as I could tell
Privilege
In your mind's library, where you've randomly stacked stories,
There are also two never ending rows of shelves with stories
(that are your own.)
My eldest auntie says that before shoes became fashionista's collections, they meant privilege
she didn't have them
went to school without them and got teased about it sometimes
you know school instead of tables and benches they had long /sukus/ laid out on the floor in multiple rows.
they had to kneel over, come on all fours, copy a, b, c's on the notebooks.
the naughty boys behind her would sometimes giggle and poke at her bare behind from under the skirt she'd overgrown. underwears meant privilege, and she didn't have them. not all the time.
the story of my mother has mostly been about dearth. she tells me that she grew up with a lot of absences.
first, her father, and then everything else that followed after. she tells me that she always had to work so hard,
finishing up her duties in the kitchen, and then shifting to the /jasaw/ where she sat /waleticosera/ bent over a stool of silver,
bent over a stool with a spread of silver.
sharp tools, skills sharpened over time on the edge of compulsion, making things.
never for her own self to adorn but making things happen.
making lunch and dinner out of whatever was in the kitchen, even when there wasn't anything much.
the only thing my Ma, my grandmother, learned how to read as a child was poverty and hunger.
she says, on days there was no food in the house, her mother, my great-grandmother, played a game with the children.
she asked my Ma and her five hungry siblings to stay put, and not come up to the kitchen because anyone who did was out of the game, and would not be served any dinner.
so they waited downstairs, /gany/ children that they were, listening to their mother serving dinner. clanging empty ladles into empty plates, sometimes for as long as an hour.
she says, they fell asleep like that - to the sound of plates and ladles. a sweet lullaby, full of promises of full plates and full stomachs.
my mother tells me back in the days eating an egg was a festive affair - once a year during Mabujah and that too if her grandmother was feeling generous.
buying new clothes was a tough bargain first with the mother who was stingy, not by choice. first with her mother who was stingy - not by choice -
and then with the shopkeeper who quoted a price my mother could not afford. even today, my mother eats every last strand of meat left on the bones, chews an apple to its slimmest core.
dearth has been an efficient teacher.
my /Bauns/ told me that when he was only eight and only working for someone else,
he was out resting on a grassy field one day tired from his days work when he found a book and began flipping through its pages
but the /sawo/ came over and rebuked him so hard - "are you hear to study, or to work?"
he says he remembers being to embarrassed that day he didn't dare to touch a book for years
(years later, i stand here with privileges my families/mother never had.)
privilege, like my Ba used to say, is being able to recognize letters, and put them together, to read learn, and explore about anything your heart desires
privilege, is coming home with complaints to mom about how bad as pencil stubs sharpened to the last nibble of lead, always wrote so bluntly.
privilege, is learning that sharing is caring
dearth is knowing that that is the only way
privilege is this foreign fluent tongue
dearth is a mother tongue we never had to learn. privilege is an inheritance passed down to us as stories.
dearth is having lived like these stories never happened.
privilege is getting to let the world know that they did
(that our stories matter. that we exist. thank you.)

MR. JONATHAN TRAUNER MY FUTURE FILM SUPERHEROIC:
Good evening global defenders of love and kindness, sitting in front of me
this evening; My name is Mr. Jonathan Trauner; I am an twenty four
year old, and almost twenty five year old dual Israeli American
immigrant citizen from South Miami Florida, that completed Aliyah in
Jerusalem Israel, my mother’s hometown of over thirty plus years
and my late mother’s mother’s hometown of over forty plus years.
Although I am on the Autism spectrum, I do not let my disability
inhibit me from saving lives as a QA Computer Algorithms Data Team
Leader at Jerusalem Israel’s largest autonomous driving safety
computer vision startup Mobileye Intel, an company that pioneers and
innovates safe driving technology worldwide. As of March 16th
2019, I am honored and thrilled to announce to the Holy City of
Jerusalem Israel, an inspiring based on a true story film production
project, I am in the middle of producing entitled Superheroic;
Superheroic chronicles the journey of future dual Israeli American
immigrant citizen, from New York City, Eleanor Warren, who dreams
of becoming a film director her whole life. After Josephine Warren’s
first failed acting audition, at Manhattan’s Dreamers Acting
Academy in New York City, Josephine Warren, pursues her film
directing graduate studies career at Los Angeles Beverly Hills
California’s University of Southern California, (even though the
rest of the world) does not believe Josephine to be inspiring because
of her mild Aspergers Autism. Toward the end of Superheroic,
Eleanor uses her global human rights activism platforms, LGBTQQIA
+/- justice platforms, Israeli American immigrant journey, and her
Times Up Now and End Violence Against Women Coalition ambassador
platforms and love spreading platforms of love and inclusivity, to
safeguard love and kindness everywhere. Mrs. Josephine Warren, saves
the life of Phoenix Arizona Aviation US Air Force Pilot and Marines
Five Star Seals Commander Admiral Mr. Vincent Everett, at Admiral
Vincent Everett’s Phoenix Arizona military base. The major themes
of my film Superheroic is love, kindness, courage, never give up,
faith, and resilience. No dream is ever impossible.
Human beings, of our universe; Your voices of love have the power to
inspire and uplift lives; You all make the world a loving and beautiful place, because
you exist, just the way you are. “Dream on, for impossible dreams, have the power
to come true.”In spite of my Autism I have completed my latest motion picture feature
film production project pre stage, for a film called Superheroic, I
work for Mobileye Intel in Jerusalem Israel five minutes from my
Jerusalem Israel hometown (where I have lived for over the last three
years), which I could have never arrived to without the
Oscars Academy inspiring me to never ever give up in pursuit of my impossible dream
come true, an Academy Award. My whole life, I never ever say the
words give up, and I know, resilience is at the core of who I always
will be; My Autism is not a limitation; I always believe one day I
will inspire the world through my Times Up Now ambassadorship
platform and that I will win an Oscar Academy Award live and in
person for my film Superheroic; My Superheroic script is completely
finished and already printed out. Superheroic is about how a
Manhattan New York City native and twenty seven year old Mrs.
Eleanor Josephine Warren, auditions for an Arts Theater film called
Superheroic, and fails to make the cut, but overcomes obstacles to
earn her MA degree in film directing from USC's Annenberg Cinema and
Film School in Los Angeles even though Eleanor struggles with her
mild Autism herself In Superheroic, Josephine meets five star US Air Force
Aviation Captain from Phoenix Arizona, Admiral Mr. Vincent William
Everett; Josephine immigrates to Israel, Vincent immigrates to
Israel, and Eleanor is called upon by Vincent's base to become an
superhero warrior and superheroine for Vincent's Air Force Squadron;
At the end of the film Josephine, saves Vincent's life through aiding
US Air Force Phoenix Arizona Nurse Mrs. Greta Patrick. By the end of
film, Josephine wins an Oscar Academy Award at Los Angeles Beverly
Hills California's Dolby Theater. The main message of my film is
never give up and never lose faith in the beauty and loving strength
of your heart; Love and kindness is always within us. Superheroism is
in us more than we ever know. My film shooting locations will be Phoenix Arizona, Los Angeles California's Arts
District, Manhattan New York City's Theater District, Iowa, Indiana, central Ireland, and Beverly
Hills California's Dolby Theater Area. On May 19th 2019 I will next be at Tufts University to hear
Arle Woodard, Oscar Academy Nominated Actress for 12 Years a Slave give the Tufts University
Medford Commenecement Address in Medford Massachusetts live.
