A Song of Myself

"The city sleeps and the country sleeps, The living sleep for their time, the dead sleep for their time, The old husband sleeps by his wife and the young husband sleeps by his wife; And these tend inward to me, and I tend outward to them, And such as it is to be of these more or less I am, And of these one and all I weave the song of myself." -Walt Whitman

Moroccan protest in Chicago

This Moroccan man has been sending video blogs, addressed to Mohammad, the King of Morocco, citing the king's insults against the Moroccan people: the king's fortune vs. the poverty and illiteracy suffocating the country, autocracy in the government (the majority of politicians and department heads are from the same family, the Fassi Family), the incestuous relationship between the Moroccan business market and the king.

The blogger came to Chicago on a North American tour where he stood outside for 4 hours in the sleet to raise awareness about what is at stake in Morocco.
