for just one meal.

with social networking debate and try to put the blame to the increase of

stay silent over a stolen country, ‘unable’ to declare as they advocate human
justice and the right to live while they strike weapons taking away lives and
want us to only sit and stare.
To the world who shouts out
freedom and change for a better tomorrow is the same world that wants its
people to move no further than from yesterday’s sorrow.
To the world that initiates
conspiracy to every theory and makes fun of those who cry out,
‘er7am dameery.'
To the world that forces media to
avoid the truth, to hide the agonizing pain of the loss of those so dear; do
you not yet know time has changed and we need not your knowledge that is to us
now crystal clear.
To the world who promises peace
from coast to coast and shore to shore;
your people find no home to rest, always terrified, their eyes galvanized
from looking at your terrifying acts and trying to understand your contradicting
values in abhor.
To the world that asks for us to
unite and once you do, you set up every fire to part us and enjoy us at each
other’s faces, to one another’s home ignite.
To the world that prefers
disturbing me with an infamous sex scandal rather than helping me out with the
load on my shoulders and the debts I can’t handle.
To the world who pledged to keep
me safe is the same world whose hands strip a people’s right to exist, a
person’s right to defend their home and a girl’s right to scream from an
enemy’s attack, and want us to claim it not rape.
To the world who was once
structured upon a system of values and ethics, punishing those who bent the
rules of the game, now criticizes the honorable, any man of faith, and those
who cannot lie and steal because Moral is synonym to their name.
To the world that while it was
teaching us to read between the lines plants beneath our homes deadly land
mines.
To the world who said the world
is for all to belong- you stayed while the others are gone, lost and are all
alone.

every airport to strip search me and ignores how many voicing wars are battling
inside of my body-diligently skips learning what I really carry within me and
how many times those incidents deeply transformed rage in me.
To the world who once told me I want
to know you but obviously, didn't bother to understand me.
To the world who folds the truth
according to what suits them properly and blindfolds me into a perfectly
knitted web of woven lies to let me see the truth barely, rarely, vaguely and ambiguously.
To the world that strictly
prohibits underage labor- why do you punish me when I help my next door
neighbor?
To the world that enforces
dignity as we stand side by side; you continue to deceive us and slowly we
start losing our national pride.
To the world where we keep
digging beyond the surface to discover the depths of your soil’s deep- why do
you plant holes so steep to prevent me from looking back into my roots?
To the world that ‘differentiates
not and classifies not’ who and what we are by identity yet you strip it away
from us.
To the world that awaits the
results after every ballot I fill is the world that rejects when I object to injustice
and unjustified bloodshed instead of sitting still.
To the world that created and
ironically terrified its people with its own weapons of mass destruction is the
world that names every revolution a derivative from some organized dangerous fanatic
institution.

mind, a free spirit, a free soul, a free will- you silently, wittingly,
mischievously grab us by the throat and enjoy answering your favorite question:
what’s the newest method I have now to kill?
To the world that encourages
laughter is the world that demolishes life-long homes with its leading tractor.
To the world who told us once to
wipe away our tears is the same world that watches us dread our eyes with fears.

hands to build our dreams in a liberal world is the world that snaps us out of
that reality it created, telling us: NOTHING is as it seems!

all equal and this it shall never deny: man, woman, child, the pious, and the
sinned- is the world that kills them all with a bullet and says: now you are
all equal, on this sandy earth you lay.
To the world that doesn't mind to
freely walk naked and yet finds no problem with insulting whatever is holy and
sacred.
To the world that emphasized for
us to learn the good from the bad, do deed than sin, is the world we walk
through now lying to our faces on the rooftops of every skyscraper carrying
billboards saying “All it takes is a Spin for You to Win!”

of dust after enjoying to see the same bodies over time rust.
To the world that bore us
monarchies, kingdoms, queens and kings gradually simplified, modified and ‘modernized’
it to us into parties, branches and wings.
To the world that favored
positive thoughts and believing in reaching the impossibility is the world
scolding at you for fighting for your honor and pride, classifying you as one
of the terrorists, the extremists and or associated with the untamed wave of
insanity.
To the world who holds you back
every time you want to leap from the ignorant dark- we would like to remind you
that what ‘you sow is what you reap’ – maybe one day you will see.
To the world that endured
everything for you to exist is the same world planning how to shock and disturb
you with a solution to man-made maladies.
To the world that saw me cry
because I just saw a child die is the world that I ask over and over again: how
do you let this happen, answer me why!

code for you to belong- if you don’t dress like those in the arena of the fame
then disguise yourself before being titling as those of the useless, poor and lame.
To the world whose people are
made of mud ignored their hearts, threw their flesh out and now guiltless-ly walk over their blood.
To the world that once taught us
that patience is virtue, we are all brothers and united as one-now emphasizes
and wants us to live by ‘take it or leave it, make it or break it, sink or swim,
you gotta rock the show to make some dough, you have to stumble them over
before it’s game over.’
To the world that the more we
travel through you to learn more about you, you strangle us with limitations
and plummet more and more restrictions into our existence to belong to you.
To the world whose land belongs
to no one man alone; you taught us in history books the stories you have
written and exchanged the hero with the one who got hit by the first stone.
To the world who preaches us how
to perceive thoughts and ideas of the future from different angles while
adopting various methods and building visions; what future were you envisioning
when you seize not to continuing deceiving your own people as you instill fear
in their hearts, leaving them no hope to dream and no light to enable them to
imagine building a safe haven for their families?
To the world whose days are
darkened with the sun’s lugging rays and nights filled with clouds full of
traumatizing agony, have you not gotten bored of your silly games amongst yourselves
of who controls our skies?
To the world that allows you to
discover the tip of its east to its west is the world that provides you with
nothing except depriving you of mindful rest.
To the world that honors their
best and yet the same ones are exploded to bits and pieces, later apologizing
that they were undertaking the results of the ‘scientific research’s test.’
To the world who decides which
people to corrupt is the world that once exploited their land and resources and
wished no opposition occurred for their colonization to continue or have
interrupt-accusing an uprising revolt too sudden and abrupt.
To the world: how many times did
you see a frightened child cry and with your bloody hands have come to wipe their
tears away, each one of your eyes an undeniable lie, whispering to them: it is
not me who killed your family, believe me how could I let them die?
To the world whose working class
strives hard to feed their growing children; the money they earn you instantly squeeze
right out; they scream inside: have mercy on us, we beg you, OH PLEASE!
To the world who said to us once,
love yourself and be comfortable in your own skin; you left us nothing of that
and even broke our once lifted up chin.
To the world that lets no man
sleep and taught every mother know how to weep, why do you enjoy the suffering
of those in debt to your accounts and pockets and feel no guilt over the
orphans you daily create, leaving them gaze in lands like sheep?
To the world who taught us on
sharing is caring and the notion of give and take is the world making its
victims held accountable for the world’s repeated mistake.
To the world whose inhabitants
are all disappointed and outraged, enough of your surprising shut downs, lock
downs, interrogations, spying, bankruptcies; to them all we have become
enslaved.
To the world that was once
created with passion and endless curiosities, you have now created from your
people a ‘new world order’ made in the form of wandering zombies.
To the world that knows no mercy
to its citizens and strives to demolish the essence of blood and kin- put your
people first before you put yourself first to win.
To the world who plays against
its people the game and wants the people to believe that without their rules
the world would be worse and never the same.
To the world who advocated no
shades of grey- we now ask you where do we go from here, if you make us suffer;
where and when will we build a home in your world to finally stay?
To the world that its people are
to you so sincere, with all the violence and injustice you have done, how do
you want them to obey your orders and to your rules adhere?
To the world who stole my name to
know who I really am,
To the world who seized my land
to let me see your ‘other’ vast lands,
To the world who used my talent
and hard work to ‘make it a better and advanced’ place- did I just give you
everything that belongs to me and then you used it to make me suffer, beg you
and then kill me?
To the world who once has
forbidden silence- you now forbid me to breathe.
To the world that stripped me
away from my home and family because you failed to declare me for 60 years-
have you no shame?
To the world who determines
peoples’ destiny, manipulating lives as though they are bodies made of Lego-
you disgust me because you are a politics merely made from and for your ego.
