Life Will Go On

Sometimes you feel that you are having a day that will never end, as if it holds within much more than the 24 hours, in such days you keep looking to the watch and wonder whether it's moving slower than usual!! Whether the minute is no longer 60 seconds!! Sometimes you face a day full of problems and troubles and as soon as you get through one of them you get hit by another, only then you realize the real meaning of the quote that says "Troubles come in threes"!! 

You start looking to the clock on the wall and keep watching the seconds go by; you are starring at the clock as if you are desperately begging it to go faster... But it doesn't!!

Sometimes you face a day where it feels like everything is standing against you; weather, traffic or even luck!! You might miss the bus or the train or may be it just starts raining as soon as you decide to go out!! Or may be it gets more serious than that; get cheated upon, stabbed in the back, or may be even worse than that; lose your job, lose a friend or even lose a family member!!

Or may be you just face a state of depression where you can't find a reason to get up from bed in the morning, you can't find anything that makes you continue through the day, you feel as if everything is just falling apart around you, nothing is going right and everything is a mess!! You want to do something but you don't know what or how or even when!! You want to change somehow but you don't know where to start!! You start feeling confused, confused about everything, even your own existence!!

Taking into consideration all your pains and sorrows, you keep wondering; how many more you can take and you keep asking yourself; will such day ever going to end?!...

Eventually it will!! You might feel helpless and hopeless but you must have faith that this day will eventually end and tomorrow will definitely be a new day, a new start... A new beginning, a reason for living!! You must have faith that no matter what happened today there will always be tomorrow, you must have faith that life will never stop... Life Will Go On.

Coming Back From Hell

With the Israeli attack on Lebanon getting complicated and destructive everyday, children are the worst victims under the present circumstance. The attack was launched against the Hezbollah militia but the victims of war are none other than the Lebanese Children.

Almost one third of the Lebanese who have lost their lives are children. What is wrong with the international organizations? This barbaric massacre is a violation against human rights and international laws.

Instead of an armed conflict, the Israel-Lebanon war has become a war of the children. The Israeli children are leaving missiles with their taunting message, which is a direct slap on the face of humanity and the elder generation.

The messages send by the Israeli kids read:

Dear Lebanese/Palestinian/Arab/Muslim/Christians - Kids,
Die with love.
Yours,
Israeli Kids

A Process of Elimination

What's happening now in Lebanon can NOT be described as a war!! Because the definition of war according to Webster is; armed conflict between nations or factions within a nation or a particular armed conflict consisting of a series of battles or campaigns and all this definitions do not describe the situation in Lebanon because what's happening in Lebanon can be only described as a MASSACRE or a PROCESS of ELIMINATION!!

The -so called- president of the United States gave Israel the green light not to defend itself but to do whatever they want and the rest of the western countries are just watching!!

And I don't blame the west for that because that's typical!! That's what they do & that's what they will always do, I don't expect otherwise!!

The solution is not in the west, the solution lies within!! The solution is here, in the Arab world!! If the Arab countries unite just for once Israel won't dare to make a single move towards any Arab country in the Area & if they did then history will repeat itself & they will remember what happened to them in 1956 & in 1973!!

What's happening now is an Israeli Holocaust against the Palestinians & the Lebanese people! Can someone please remind me and tell me who is responsible for the assassination of 20 000 civilian in Beirut in 1982, the responsible for such a horrible and immoral act is the former prime minister of Israel “Ariel Sharon”, 20000 innocent people can you believe this?! And not only this but also the massacre of Genin on April 2002 and what happened in 1948, and I mean the massacre at Deir Yassin, and also what happened in 1994 and I mean the murder of forty Palestinian worshipers by Baruch Goldstein at a mosque in Hebron all this has to stop even though it isn’t surprising me no more because “Those with more power are often able to ignore moral considerations”.

Unfortunately all I see now is “The strong do what they have the power to do and the weak accepts what they have to accept”.

God save us all,,,

Watch & judge!!

Enough is Enough

I was reading the news paper & I found this title; George W. Bush says; Backing democracy doesn't mean approving on all the elected governments!! And I was like; WHAT?! What the hell do you want from us?! He kept saying; We are fighting for democracy, for freedom & we will never stop!! And when I think about it, the only true thing in this sentence is never stop!!

He lead a war on Afghanistan to find Osama Bin Laden & he never did, & then he lead a war on Iraq to find Nuclear missiles, which he didn't find!! And God knows who's next!!

The blind man can see that Bush doesn't give a damn about democracy nor freedom, but he cares about oil of course because that's what matters after all!! He gave a huge speech about freedom and about democracy & that there must be elections in Palestine & all that nonsense considering they don't have a land to have anything else!! Anyway, as usual they did what he wants, they made elections & after Hamas won he said; Backing democracy doesn't mean approving on all the elected governments!! Give us a break man!!

And if he's what he says a freedom fighter, then why didn't he lead a war against that king who announced to his people that he will be treated as a God in his country somewhere in Africa, why didn't he go there & save this country & apply democracy!! I'll tell you why because there's no oil there then why bother!!

Like I said he doesn't give a damn about democracy nor freedom, he only wants to reshape the middle east on the American way which is UNACCEPTABLE, we have different cultures, different views & different religions. He wants to separate religion from politics, well, that can be done in the west but not here because at the end of the day we are religious people.

I still can't believe that this man was reelected!! Have you ever seen him talking?! I have a very small speech for him where he says; “They want us to leave, that what they want us to do & I think that the world will be better if we did leave, if we did... if we didn't... if we dididi...if we... if we... if we left the world would be worse”, and you can see & hear the people laughing of course!! And I have the link if anyone wants it!!

Aren't we living in a civilized world or what?! But like they say; “You can't say civilization don't advance...In every war they kill you in a new way!!”

I just wish to see someone strong enough to stand up & say NO, say ENOUGH is ENOUGH!! The only country that succeeded in doing that so far is Iran!! Of course Iran isn't perfect but neither the USA of course!! But at least they had the guts to say NO, to say ENOUGH is ENOUGH!!

Years have gone by,

And now we meet again!

You look so beautiful,

Like a wild rose in the rain!

It has been a long time

Since we last met!

It was a hell of a day,

That I just can't forget!

It took me one look

At your beautiful eyes

One look to realize,

That love never dies!

I'm trying to leave,

But your eyes are begging me to stay

I go in the opposite direction

But I find my self going your way!!

It took me a decade to build a wall

Between you and my heart

And it took your eyes a second

To turn this wall apart!!

You smiled, I smiled,

And no talk

You put your hands in mine,

And we walk!!
