🌿 Strugglers Together 🌿
Bukharian Jews —
once exiled, once scattered,
still carrying songs of Bukhara
in their breath.
Talysh —
hidden by the Caspian’s green veil,
silenced in their tongue,
yet unbroken in heart.
Kurds —
mountain-born,
forever between empire and erasure,
but still standing.
None are free,
none are whole,
yet in each other they see
a mirror of survival.
Not as saviors,
not as kings,
but as fellow strugglers,
they walk side by side,
and whisper:
your fight is ours,
your hope keeps us alive too.
