On the Last Sunday in January 2017

Jamál (Beauty), 12 Sulṭán (Sovereignty), 173 BE - Sunday, January 29, 2017 AD About 12:13 PM Pacific Standard Time 

On the last Sunday in January 2017, 

I contemplate the events 

Of the past week, 

The  past month, 

And the past year. 

On the last Sunday of January 2017, 

I feel the fear reverberating 

Through my neighborhood, 

Through Las Vegas, 

Through Nevada, 

Through America, 

And across the planet Earth. 

On the last Sunday of January 2017, 

I say a prayer of protection 

For those who 

Through no fault of their own 

Are stranded 

And facing an uncertain future.
