I am a child who loves peace - Sawsan Alshamiri

I am a child who loves peace
I have always believed in peace
Until I saw something on TV,
something not expected at all,

the sole survivor - Saba Hamzah

In the conversation that lasted until 3 AM, she questioned, "Has

not the hour come

to forge a means of connection

that would bridge the chasm between my life and your death?"

On the Tomb of Sayid - Abd Almalec Alharithy

Lest are the tenants of the tomb!

With envy I their lot survey;

For SAYID shares the solemn gloom,

And mingles with their mouldering clay.

 

What If My Blood Sweetened Into Chocolate - Sawsan Al-Areeqe

What if

time cast its candle into a pit of winds

And night extended beyond the brow

And wearily the sea hugged the shore

And light faltered during the celebrations

And I embraced a man’s shadow

Untitled - Manal Al-Adawi

We must wake up,

We must burn hatred and turn the page,

Let us hold our hands together and walk towards the awakening.

Supplications - Dr. Abdulaziz Al-Maqaleh

My God...
I seek refuge in you from the evil of myself,
From the evil of my people,
Form the evil of my good friends,
From the evil of my enemies who are poor of love,
From the evil of what the panegyrists had written,
And from the evils of what the spitfulls had written.

To be a girl - Raghda Gamal

You never thought that someday
You'll wish to know
What it's like to he a girl...
