O Jerusalem . . . You perplex me
O holy Jerusalem, who are you?
Are you the purity of childhood?
Are you the scent of Heaven?
Are you the spring of Universe?
Are you the dawn of hope?
Are you the due of narcissus?
* * *
Are you the smile of my beloved?
Are you the tear of my grandfather?
Are you the dress of my grandmother?
Are you the embrace of my father?
Are you the loaf of my mother?
Are you the giggle of my brother?
Are you the eyes of my sister?
Are you the singing of nightingale?
Are you the truth of prophethood?
Are you the soul of angels?
Are you the heart of hearts?
Are you the flower of all cities?
Are you the love of monks?
Are you the pathway of the righteous?
* * *Are you the graveyard of the oppressors?
Are you the place where poppies bud?
Are you the land of the steadfast?
Are you the abode of martyrs?
Are you the meeting place of returnees?
Are you the key to eternity?
Are you the gateway to paradise?
Are you the promise of God?
Are you the secret of all secrets?
Are you the holiest of holies?
O Jerusalem . . . You perplex me
For God’s sake console my soul and answer me

Be Aware… Beware
My beloved Palestinian brothers and sisters
My beloved world supporters
After they threw us in abyss for nearly three decades spinning in the mirage of “peace” and “peace process”, meanwhile they were able to tighten their grip, steal more land, multiply the number of settlers, anchor the second generation in our land and destroy all neighbouring states with potential threat to them.
After they have altered the situation on the ground beyond recognition, they are now attending the next stage, which will be in my opinion far more dangerous than ever before
After Zionism achieved its goals in the establishment of a national homeland for Jews of the world, and in the name of the lie ‘equality, peace and stability, prosperity and love’ they are now moving to the final stage of their supremacist destructive tribal colonial project, the phase of ‘renouncing Zionism’ by taking off the robe of discrimination and wearing the garment of purity and chastity so that they can finally enjoy what they have looted with our blessing and without any resistance.
Their new project, cooked in the kitchens of the Israeli academic left, the so-called renunciation of Zionism and the overthrow of the system of the right-wing Israeli state in order to preserve the gains of six million Israeli Jews and protect them from any future legal prosecution for War Crimes and Crimes Against Humanity, for a period of over seven decades.
The purpose is to remain safe and secure in the land they have raped and distorted its landscape, “equals” amongst the people whom they soaked in their blood for decades, without mercy or humanity.
Their new project, in which we are presented with poisoned honey, is the renunciation of the crusts and the retention of the heart, as a snake does, shedding away its old skin only to grow bigger, stronger and more savage.
It is the so called One Democratic State, ODS
The goal of this mined step, in which mercy and justice are claimed to be the intention, is to enable six million foreign invaders and occupiers to stay on the stolen land forever and to retain what they looted and raped, but with the consent and blessing of those who they oppressed and with the preservation and protection of the law.
My beloved brothers and sisters
Be Aware… Beware

حذار حذار
اخوتي واخواتي وأبناء وطني الاحبة
بعدما ألقونا في غيابة الجب ما يقارب عقودا ثلاثة ندور في منظومة ‘السلام’ السرابية بينما تمكنوا هم خلالها من احكام قبضتهم وسلب مزيد من الاراضي ومضاعفة عدد المستوطنين وتثبيت الجيل الثاني لهم في ارضنا السليبة وتفتيت وتدمير ما تبقى حولنا من دول
بعدما تم لهم تغيير الأحوال على ارض الوقع هم الان يحضرون للمرحلة القادمة والتي ستكون في نظري اخطر مما سبق بكثير
وبعدما حققت الصهيونية العالمية أهدافها في إقامة وطن قومي ليهود العالم وباسم كذبة ‘السلام والاستقرار والازدهار والمحبة’ ينتقلون الان الى المرحلة الاخيرة من مشروعهم الاستعلائي الاستعماري التدميري الا وهي مرحلة ‘نبذ الصهيونية’ وخلع رداء التفرقة ولبس لباس الطهر والعفاف ليتمكنوا اخيراً من الاستمتاع بما سلبوه دونما تنغيص أو مقاومة تذكر
مشروعهم الجديد الذي طبخ في مطابخ اليسار الاسرائيلي الأكاديمي هو ما يسمى بنبذ الصهيونية وإسقاط النظام المتمثل في الدولة الإسرائيلية اليمينية من اجل حفظ مكاسب ستة ملايين يهودي إسرائيلي وحمايتهم من أية مقاضاة قانونية مستقبلية على ما ارتكبوه من جرائم حرب وجرائم ضد الانسانية على مدى سبعة من العقود وتمكينهم من البقاء في ارض اغتصبوها وشوهوا تضاريسها وولغوا في دم شعبها دونما انسانية او رحمة
مشروعهم الجديد الذي دس فيه السم بالعسل هو نبذ للقشور والاحتفاظ باللب، كما تنسلخ الافعى من جلدها القديم لتنمو تكبر، إنه ما أطلقوا عليه اسم دولة ديمقراطية واحدة ODS
One Democratic State
الهدف من هذه الخطوة الملغومة التي ظاهرها فيه الرحمة وباطنها فيه العذاب هو تمكين ستة ملايين غاصب استعلائي من البقاء على الارض والاحتفاظ بما اغتصبوه ولكن برضى ومباركة المظلومين وبحفظ ورعاية القانون
اخوتي الاحبة الوعي الوعي
وحذار حذار

I came from there
There I belong
Where babies can fly
And prayers have wings
Where poppies dance
And angels do sing
I came from there
Where rainbow souls
With stardust tails
Float in the sky
Despite the curfews
Dazzling, their joy
I came from there
Where skies rain bombs
As air stops breathing
Families hold hands
Bathing in love
Tranquil serene
I came from there
Where furious evil
Rages with hate
Humanity’s saviours
Shining in beauty
Steadfast remain
I came from there
While others watch
Stunned and bemused
My people ascend
Peeking through veils
Where time no more
I came from there
Where truths are born
Infinity meets naught
Miracles are norm
Where loss is gain
And less is more
I came from there
Where prophets still praying
Where children play
On sacred mountains
Splashing their feet
In holy springs
I came from there
Where eyes can hear you
Where tears have smiles
And grins do weep
Where stones have feelings
And martyrs live, forevermore
I came from there
There I belong
Where life is death
And death means life
Where God dwells
Thus sings my soul

To be human is to be hugely affected by what is happening in the world
Sadness, depression and grief may linger in your heart
Colours fade into one tone of grey
You may even gasp at the edge of despair, sometimes
For one breath of hope, you’d give your life
* * *
Often, you may question your sanity
You may wake up screaming at night
Your pillow soaked with tears streaming
You may wonder if it is all but a bad dream,
A nightmare rather
Or is it a 3D horror movie in which you’re sucked into somehow
An observer, helplessly watching
* * *
Your mind rages in furious anger!
Did I read that correctly?
Did I truly hear the little girl saying such words?
Is that world for real?
Are those perpetrators even human?
Did I land in the wrong universe?
* * *
* * *
Volcanoes erupt in your chest
Battles blaze in your head
and you,
YOU… are crushed in between
* * *
* * *
Watching in curious apprehension
You try to regain bearings
To be a voice of reason
Amidst this madness
* * *
You hold your fearful heart, tight
You take your mind by the hand
Hush hush its flying thoughts
Tap its shoulder gently and whisper
Dear mind, do you mind to step aside for a moment
With all due respect, your knowledge is but a speck
Infinitesimal
Oh raging mind calm down
You view the world through a keyhole
You try to squeeze infinity in a soup bowl
Then cry like a baby, the bowl is too small
* * *
* * *
Oh foolish mind step down
You are not the author, you are not the hero
Not even an actor, or a comma in the script
Stop behaving as if you’re the main character or a superstar
* * *
* * *
You want to know the story?
O the story!
Once upon a no-space and non-time
Written on a no-place on plane ∅
A glorious tale with two letters of Light
BE… and it was
An exquisitely-smart explosion
Shattered nothingness into being… Boom…Boom
Time is born
Finely-tuned matter…poof… poof… appeared
A masterpiece
* * *
* * *
Layer upon layer, the cosmos unfolds
Time and space intertwine, majestic embrace
Pages scripted, laws encrypted
Supernovas sprinkled, stars twinkled
Galaxies and atoms hold hands, in a prayerful dance
Their pounding hearts flutter
Dazzled in adoration
Breathtaking beauty
Impatiently awaits to be discovered
Thus the story began
Imagine the ending, in a world unseen !
Heart throbbing, awestruck, serene
Soul weeps of joy, of love, of gratitude
* * * * * * * * * *
* * *
Oh bewildered me beware
Be conscious of the soul you are
Listen to the songs humming inside
Heighten your inner resolve with faith and hope
Tighten your wounds with patience abound
Change what’s within to change outside
Be the one you dream others would be
Fill your heart with kindness refined
With tender care hold your inner child
* * *
* * *
Extend your hands to the One Most High
Thus sings my soul
Receive agape love, bestow far and wide
Forevermore
* * *
* * *
Spread your wings above the clouds, rise up and fly
The story unfolds, the plot is thickening, but don’t you mind
Smile to the rainbow, again… The End is worthwhile
Sings my old soul
Sings my old soul
* * *
‘∅’ read as ‘phi’. In mathematics, ∅ is the empty set, it’s the unique set having no elements; its size or cardinality is zero.
Example: Set X = {}. It is also called a void set or null set.

Waiting
By threshold of existence
Bewildered and spellbound
Watching
Over threshold of death
Perplexed and mystified
Meandering
By threshold of lunacy
One foot in and one foot out
Wondering
At the threshold of love
Awestruck and mesmerized
Imagine
Just imagine
If only
You and I
Could leap over
Cross the line
