Grief won't help
Did you ever notice those marks on your face ? That tell you about your circumscribed pace. Sitting near the dew You notice a droplets few, trying to renew, The constricted space you dwelt in. Around you, change will happen, Change will happen for the good, But you will refuse to accept it happened, For all that happened with you!:( Trying to return back to life , you will notice a book kept somewhere, with edges gnawed... and a human in that deep space somewhere on your plight guffawed. And you finally make out that everything simultaneously works out. And people, appear deaf to your hearty...
There's an olive tree in Palestine
Find the young boy under the old olive tree the shade going all the way to his tiny shins with a broken flag hidden under his knees as he sings: I don’t know how will I ever return to that place where the sun never sets / and the birds fly high as they play, where the moon just stands there and waits For some sign that is time for the sun to rest, It’s a devout and sacred ground Golden sand and high marbled clouds Where the people once dance around, a joyful scene, My dear, I feel as I'm lost and I’ll never be found, The farmer comes asking from where he came A curious look with a concerned...

Everyday discrimination
Discrimination and hatred is a "disease" of our society. Those affected do not feel comfortable in their society. Every kind of exclusion leaves traces, in worst cases it is even pretended. In this blog article, I would like to mention one discrimination that I have witnessed first hand in my life. The discriminations of the LGBTQIA+ community. Some people today unfortunately still think being into the same gender is a crime. People from the LGBTQIA+ community are excluded and feel discriminated against. They also experience discrimination and are insulted at school. If you witness something...
The age of fiction readers......
As a person who loves reading and spends more than 50 percent of my day on phone, it became necessary for me to know what sort of content, I am digesting. The majority of it is reading. I read not only paperbacks and hardcover but also from various sites and apps of comics and books. So in a time when everyone can be a writer, where everyone can be heard, we readers do need to know the validation of the content and the effect it has on us. I cannot condemn others for a thing that I enjoy myself too. I do understand the appeal of the perfect fantasy life or the need of escaping reality. However...
Conflicts and Religion
We live in a world with many cultures that have been there from the past. It was spread all over the world based on the area and its people. Religion is the worship of a god or gods. But we humans have destroyed the meaning of religion leading to many deaths and horrible events. Everyone has the right to follow the religion they want to but it is causing a lot of social problems. There is no other way but to try to solve the problem and unite as a whole. I am not saying to leave the religion that you follow right now, I am not saying that people have to change. I just want the world to be a...
Should guns be banned?
Nowadays, it is nearly impossible for a year to go by without a school shooting taking place in the USA. A school shooting- the place which should be reserved for education and knowledge- yet we now have to go through drills and be taught what to do in case a shooter came to our school. Why should we be so worried about being killed when we go somewhere to learn and expand what we know? What is the government’s response to this? They’ve barely made any changes to gun control laws, even after the March4OurLives protest and yearly killings. Instead, the Trump Administration’s suggestion was to...
Shots
One shot, two shots, down We trusted you with our lives You’re meant to be our relief Supposed to keep us safe Yet we lay lifeless on the ground Our families only left with their cries Who do we trust now? Who do we call out for help? When our very own saviors are the causes of our deaths Why is it always the ones with more melanin who can’t walk away alive in any situation? Shoot, why is that the first thing that comes to mind? A few seconds of choice affect the rest of anothers lives Forever a hole gapes in their heart From where the bullet killed their loved one Our police, our lawsetters...
A Poem About War
War Conflict. Suffering. Misery. Despair. What did we do for this sorrow that we bare? Humanity fighting and roads ablaze, People in their homes, counting the days. Families torn apart, thrown into dejection, Everyone lost with no direction. Souls filled with heavy melancholy, As poverty and starvation struck wishing it could not be more folly And realizing that this was all rotten luck They knew this would cause genocide, Watching greif, as people died, Forced to flee from their home, To find peace, faraway they roam Guns firing, bombs bursting, Freedom and refuge, was what they all were...
The Power of a Voice
As our world grows at a fast rate, unresolved conflicts tend to get left behind. Worst of all, it is getting more serious and is becoming out-of-hand with each passing second. For that, one of the best things a country can do is to train young developing minds and normalize their involvement in regards with politics, economics, and the failing environment. Our capabilities and abilities are no doubt helpful and can trigger a positive change to occur in our society. To add another fact, we are also invested for a brighter future; not just for us, but for the incoming generation of youth as well...
I don’t want to say too much
It’s my life You can’t take it away It’s my right to say what I have to say Imagine your son or daughter dying on Valentine’s Day By a what ? A gun The whole word was left stunned How can a 19-year-old walk around with one? This needs to stop Hell, this should’ve been controlled when JFK got popped But I don’t want to say too much The walk on Washington? Yeah that wasn’t enough Congress didn’t even budge How long should we suffer from this? How many more innocent lives should we add on to the list ? One mother’s wish But I don’t want to say too much
War
The humanity is so wrong, stop the war with this song My heart feels so shore, I can't stand it anymore Watching two brothers killing each other I don't want to see as a soldier my father We left our home to survive I hope to get out of this alive.
Fellow youths, let's save endangered peace!!
"We read the word peace, we comprehend it, we want peace but we don't want to give it". If we rotate a globe, the model of our mother earth, we'll come across 7 continents and 7 oceans. If zoomed into continents, it's divided into 195 countries. All the 195 countries are aware of the word peace. They understand it too in whatever language they speak. They celebrate International World Peace day which is dedicated to the absence of war and violence. They yearn for peace at any cost, but do they offer peace to others? In school we learn the true definition of peace but practically we hardly get...
5 tips for dealing with uncertainty in times of war
We need to change society
On March 15, 2019, the Muslim community witnessed a horrific act. An Australian man by the name of Brenton Harrison Tarrant attacked Muslims at a mosque. Last I watched the news it was stated that 50 people were killed and an additional 50 were wounded or in critical condition. I felt great sadness and despair as I watched the news because It seems like every other day you turn on the news people are being killed at the hands of terrorists or gunmen. When are WE as a society going to put a stop to such acts of hatred and fight for what's right? In the world that we live today such things as...
The end to violence is long overdue
Violence is brought up by hatred A feeling so deep all you can do is ask “why me?” I have seen this violence with my own eyes But I am not proud to say I have seen some die We as a society have gone through great ordeals of pain This violence will not only leave you beaten and battered physically But mentally too This is “giving to the world a tired and ugly message of terror and brutality and hate” They have left us here to rot in poverty in such a corrupted place We have to fight and break free from this cycle of violence For change To end the bad path that was set for your kids and mine We...
