Cry the Beloved Country

More gun shots today
More killing & hatful pain
More souls unceremoniously whisked away
& I keep thinking of their mothers
I cry

Their breaths still mingle in today’s air
Their last spoken words still hover inside ears ..
Reluctant to leave
& their brushes still contain strands of their hair!

I keep thinking of their mothers!
& I cry

Oh beloved country!!!
How I cry!

I can almost smell the blood seeping from her soil
I can almost touch it !!
I wail ..
& I could almost die of shame ..
My beloved country crying
and no one to blame
No Sadam this time
Only us!
Our sons
Our children!!

For Shame!!

Cry all of U
Cry mothers & fathers
Cry brothers & sisters
Friends ..
Every single one of U ..
Cry the beloved country crying
Cry

He’s in haven now .. don’t begrudge him that.
Be strong for the elders of ur kin, they need u the most.

Be the best u can be no matter what the circumstances .. That’s ur strength. And as pointless at it may seem .. nothing is really pointless ..

3atham allah ajrik my brother ;(

Jeff
I’m not much for talking about politics so I’ll let other blogger friends talk about it for me, check out www.kuwaitism.blogspot.com . It is sad. Most of us think were safe .. but then of course anything could happen any time anywhere .. so who knows .. but most of the time it’s quite .. we hear of an attack every day or other .. lots of us hear the actual attacks and some are unfortunate enough to witness one. Allot of chases going on too!
I was just about to comment on how it’s been quite for the last 2 days when I heard about another car chase last night! I was hoping maybe I wouldn’t hear anything like that again ;\
Thanks for ur warm feelings friend.

Oh yeah .. and we go out and around ok ;P something we shouldn’t be doing but we do it anyway .. us Kuwaitis have an amazing habit of not comprehending the real meaning of danger ;\ & sorry I’m not generalizing, I’m talking about us Kuwaitis who go out allot and who are crowding the streets .. cuz u know it’s still crowded out there ppl!! .. maybe that’s stupid and maybe it’s just a way of saying were still out there living bla bla bla U can’t stop us and U can’t break us!.. Or maybe it’s just stupid. Cuz we really shouldn’t be going out so much after all!
Sorry to bring all this on u Jeff it’s just one of those things that just go tumbling out of ur mouth (or fingers) once in a while regardless of time or place. ;)
