To start this week's Jukebox Friday Night I'm choosing a song in Yiddish which calls for making the world a better place for all. The lyrics / translation are included in the information for the video.
Di Tsukunft (The Future) - Sveta Kundish & Patrick Farrell
A topic that is very close to both Irini's and my heart. She wrote the text and I provided the picture.
There are many women and men who are beaten and abused by their partners.
Please don't look away.
Do intervene.
Help if you see something like this because you too are guilty, if you do nothing even though you can see it and in my eyes it is as if you are participating.
Thank you for the poem

#AltText Poem about ipv „Only he“ Only he superior...only he strong...only he The look, this cruel look. The hatred in his eyes, this abysmal hatred. The screams, those cruel screams. The voice from his larynx, that hateful voice. Only he superior, only he strong, only he. The words, those belittling, intimidating, drilling words. The fear, the fear that destroys me, constant fear. Only he superior, only he strong, only he. The oppression, of my troubled soul. Which gives him satisfaction. The oppression of my desecrated existence. Which gives him satisfaction. Only he superior, only he strong, only he. The punches, these unspeakably hard punches. Nothing, nothing can describe them. The pains, these terrible pains. Nothing, nothing can describe them. Only he superior, only he strong, only he. No matter what, no matter, everything is wrong, only him, only him not. The confirmation of his superiority. My final destruction. The confirmation of his superiority. Only he superior, only he strong, only he. Everything transient and yet burned in, too deep in my soul, always there. Darkness surrounds me, engulfs me, won't let me go. No more power, no more power. I am diving in, into another world. Far away. Only away from here. Only away. Only he superior...only he strong...only he.
They are the future
we so often say
The most fragile
of us all
But often words only
that we spoke
May the words
now finally be followed by deeds
For already too often broken
what should never have
slip from our protection
and should have been allowed to break
I have reported 4 accounts here that have posted sick photos
Please watch and report
---"Here and now and without looking at what we think we see with our eyes and letting it influence us, we see, feel much more than we often think.
Our heart guides us here and we recognize much more than the eye can see
We can all discover a beauty here that we may not have been able to see before"---

@davemark I wasn't able to find the video clip, but Rachel Maddow recently covered how Jimmy Carter made it his mission to try and eradicate Guinea worm. Rachel reported that there has only be 6 cases reported in the entire world in 2023. Here's an article from earlier this year about his health crusade.
