Title: My Fast and the Africans. Post by: Bantu_Kelani on March 31, 2004, 01:40:05 PM My fast was meant to break the bonds of apathy; their starving breaks the bond of life and hastens death.
My fast brings headaches and slight dizziness; their starving brings a torment to the mortal body, a constant fire. My fast can be broken; their starvation is unrelenting. My fast may bring applause; their starving brings looks of horror and disgust. My fast is self-imposed; their starving leaves them bewildered, victims of the worst cancer. My fast smacks of pride; their starving is pregnant with shame. My fast is a hymn, a song; their starving is a funeral dirge, a cry that shrieks of the grave. My fast is a plea to men; their starving is no longer a plea but a dying demand. My fast is a beginning; their starving is an end. Brian Koehler. Title: Re: My Fast and the Africans. Post by: Bantu_Kelani on March 31, 2004, 01:47:08 PM Fasts are essential to rebalance our negative thoughts and reduce the greed of our urban societies. Fast for 4 days or longer and experience how many people live today with hunger and utter poverty. 8 millions people starve in the draught plagued heartland of AFRICA... I encourage you all to fast regularly for your fellow human beings. It will make you humble to their experiences and make your character stronger. A bit of starvation gives you compassion and eagerness for Justice! I fast every week for good health and as a moral gesture. Fasting is my ideal ethic of austerity and philanthropy.
