I AM CERTAIN

Posted on March 4, 2017 by Kamand Kojouri

“I am certain,
my love,
that poetry was born
only after your birth.”

One of the main things I miss during lockdown: jazz nights every Monday with you🎷💕And yet, there are so many things to be grateful for.

A poem I wrote about the pandemic ☮️

𝐓𝐡𝐨𝐮𝐠𝐡𝐭 𝐈’𝐝 𝐬𝐡𝐚𝐫𝐞 𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐬𝐞 𝐛𝐞𝐚𝐮𝐭𝐢𝐟𝐮𝐥 𝐰𝐨𝐫𝐝𝐬 𝐰𝐢𝐭𝐡 𝐲𝐨𝐮: “Years ago, anthropologist Margaret Mead was asked by a student what she considered to be the first sign of civilization in a culture. The student expected Mead to talk about fishhooks or clay pots or grinding stones.⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ But no. Mead said that the first sign of civilization in an ancient culture was a femur (thighbone) that had been broken and then healed. Mead explained that in the animal kingdom, if you break your leg, you die. You cannot run from danger, get to the river for a drink or hunt for food. You are meat for prowling beasts. No animal survives a broken leg long enough for the bone to heal.⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ A broken femur that has healed is evidence that someone has taken time to stay with the one who fell, has bound up the wound, has carried the person to safety and has tended the person through recovery. Helping someone else through difficulty is where civilization starts, Mead said. ⁣⁣ We are at our best when we serve others. Be civilized.” ⁣⁣ Dr. Ira Byock⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ Thanks @pgsaravana for sharing this with me. ⁣⁣ #civilization #humanity

Me last year: “It’s a new poetry collection, dad. And I’m going to call it: God, Does Humanity Exist?”⁣⁣ My father: “Hmm... I like it. But it sounds a bit pessimistic, no?”⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ And so, I placed this note at the beginning of the book. ⁣⁣ At a time when Trump wants America to buy exclusive rights to the COVID-19 vaccine, and people are fighting over toilet paper, this question is as relevant as ever. ⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ Let us not forget that there are also women in the North of Iran who spend their entire day sewing free masks for locals. I have seen so many posts from men and women who want people to know they are working from home and are available to buy groceries and visit pharmacies for them. ⁣⁣ At the time of crisis—if we are able—let us always ask: How can I help?⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ *Also, I’d like to give credit to my twin sister who helped brainstorm and come up with this title @kkojouri ⁣ ⁣ #GodDoesHumanityExist

14/02/2020 💕

Today marks 40 Days after the UIA plane crash in Iran. I wrote a poem to commemorate the victims of this devastating tragedy 🖤 #kamandkojouri
