Do not be sad when time has betrayed you because, dogs have always danced on the bodies of lions. Do not think their dance gives them power, for dogs stay dogs and lions stay lions. Lions die out of hunger while dogs eat lavish meat. Those ignorant sleep on silk while the wise sleep on dirt.

Two Marked Graves and an Empty Slab Lebanon, 1980: I was only ten at the time, spending most of my time piling up rocks I collect from the street. I lived in a humble home with an older brother; my parents managed a very well-known restaurant in the neighborhood. We weren't rich, but I was as happy as any other ten- year- old. What happened next triggered the path that I would walk on for the rest of my life. On a peaceful night, a militia attacked, they entered the area and began to shoot. Everything happened so quick, I was asleep one moment, then I was being shoved in the closet the next. My parents lost their life that day, and my broth

I love you, more than the most delicious barbecue steak. I remember to talk to you, more than I remember to wash my pants. You mean so much to me, more than all the cars and computer games combined. You always make me laugh, more than any clown ever did. You made me understand the word "beauty", more than any sunset ever could. When you're gone, I reach corners of my mind I rather keep closed. You warm my heart, more than any cover ever could. You are the sister I never had, more than you'll ever know. Thank you, Soad.

I fell, as usual. Lucy caught me, as usual. The moon was up, as usual. Lucy: what will we do today? Fly above cherry demons? Race? Swim? Just run around in circles? Exploring the edges of the fracture? Me: Nothing, let's do nothing today. Lucy: Nothing? Me: Yea, Let's sit near the waterfall and starting from then, neither of us would talk. Lucy: Sounds boring but okay. She puts me down gently and sits next to me, not too close but not too far either. A distance that indicates trust. Lucy: Before we go silent, can I ask you something? Me: What is it? Her eyes dimmed, just a little, like she was afraid the words that will soon come out would

I look back to my past. My own little time machine. I have been writing in journals for as long as I remember. I told myself that one day I will look back and smile on what I used to be. I told myself that I will write down the promises of the people that I loved the most. One day, I will look at them and laugh. We will be friends forever Yes, I will be your wife I'm your sister, I'm not going anywhere I promise you I'll still be here I open my journal only to cry Because a journal of memories Has turned Into a journal of lies. I loved you all, dearly. "What a load of bullshit" -Abdo

People seem to be fascinated By Artificial Intelligence By Computers That override their own commands. They gaze in awe Looking at machines Gaining Consciousness Becoming Human. They do not see that we Humans Are much more interesting Than those Soulless machines. We are born Our hardware already programmed Our systems boot by the first breath Our I/O's calibrated accordingly. Nature and Nurture are our coders They wrote the code That makes us who we are With all our upsides and downsides. Earth is our domain On it we exist And on it We become obsolete. Our Admin Who has access to our domain And to our coding Is God. Even though we a

Paint. The floor I walk on is wet with paint. The walls, wet with paint. Where there is no paint, I cannot see. Infront of me is darkness. I called this world Yami long ago. Until Yami gets painted, only then I see. I walk forward, but I have to stop and wait, until Yami gets painted, only then I can move. One day I decided that I will not wait for paint, I will run into Yami, and so I did. The darkness devoured me, and I was moving downwards, very fast. I find myself out of Yami and into a new world. A world where, I could see everything. I begin to run, I follow the straight path I see. I was so happy, I felt free and I felt in control of

I heard his voice It echoed inside me "She will not see Another Tomorrow" I run I cannot think I begin to cry Tears of Blood I need to save her She is the only one That still loves me I cannot lose her. I do not understand Nor do I care Why they want her They will not have her. My lungs burn The tears It is hard to see My journey seems infinite. Even if it costs me an arm or a leg or my soul She must live. Whatever the cost As long as it takes I will make sure She can smile again. I made it My journey has reached it's end Nothing separates us but this door. The door opens I smell blood I see her A sword through her heart. My sister

Was that the door? Did he leave? Where did he go? Was I not good enough? Is he coming back? He probably went for some cigarettes, right? Does he not love me anymore? Did he just use me and leave? Just like that? Am I not good enough? Was it something I said? Why has he not come back yet? Is it because I hugged him too much? Maybe I suffocated him? Perhaps he just needed some air? But why would he not tell me? Does that mean he left me? I was so stupid, how could I let him? Why was I so gullible? I let him do what he wanted to me. And now he is gone. I don't know anymore. What have I done? What should I do? Maybe he is getting me flowers

What we do Who we are And how we think Define us. I have no definition From the day I was born I only knew one emotion pain. I simply woke up one day pain radiating from my limbs I was suspended in midair and bound to chains. These chains I cannot break They go under my skin Through the flesh And latch onto my bones. To be free means to lose my limbs Even if I break loose, Someone always passes by With a smile on his face. I never heard him speak I never saw him smile I never knew his purpose I never understood his smile. There is only one door No windows No exits This is the only world I ever knew. One day The man walks in A smile big
