To The Libyan People
At a crucial time
Of your people's history
Do not lose your bravery!
Keep struggling firmly
To build a better future
Aimed at your children.
They deserve your plight
So, on behalf of them,
Gather full courage,
Accept cooperation
Though amidst temporary
Violent operation! !
Your appeal is being heard
So you can be saved
From such a tyranny,
Huge oppression, aggression,
Which have postponed
Your peace and happiness! !

Rebuilding Your Life
We are joining you
For rebuilding your life
Because we do realise
How hard and severe it is
Your ongoing plight.
Hundreds of thousands of your people
Have lost their natural way.
So, we all are sending our help and prayers
From very far away.
For you, the survivors in huge suffering,
We appeal for your bravery and courage
In your everyday struggle,
To provide help one another
And rebuild your life
From the devastating wreckage!

Nonviolence is the answer to the crucial political and moral questions of our time; the need for mankind to overcome oppression and violence without resorting to oppression and violence. Mankind must evolve for all human conflict a method which rejects revenge, aggression, and retaliation. The foundation of such a method is love.

A Day To Remember
march 14 2011
is a day you taught me how to fish
a day you taught me how to dance
i'll never forget
the way you used to kiss me
the way you used to squeeze my hands
march 14 2011
is a day to remember
our first kiss
when we used to chase each other in the forest
march 14 2011
is a day to remember
the first day we was watching the stars in the dark sky
baby every time i see you
i just want to dance with under the trees
i know i hurt you
but i didn't aim to
so come back in my arms
lets go back to our history
and erase all the struggles
we been through
and start all over again
baby i love you
march 14 2011
is
a day to remember

A statement: children who watch violent TV programmes tend to be more violent when they grow up. But did the TV cause the violence, or do violent children preferentially enjoy watching violent programmes? Very likely both are true. Commercial defenders of TV violence argue that anyone can distinguish between television and reality. But Saturday morning children’s programmes now average 25 acts of violence per hour. At the very least this desensitizes young children to aggression and random cruelty. And if impressionable adults can have false memories implanted in their brains, what are we implanting in our children when we expose them to some 100,000 acts of violence before they graduate from elementary school?

It Is Winter Outside...
It is winter outside...
A cold atmosphere that most fear
For the scarce food, no warm clothes,
Even no home, no job, no health protection.
Towards these what is the rulers' reaction?
It is winter outside...
There is much oppression indeed
For these people's human rights
Truly are in a huge need,
And they all deserve to be freed.
It is winter outside...
Others join in to cooperate
To minimize the pain, so desperate!
He is attentive, gracious, merciful
He protects them being silent, bountiful.

We Got The Right
(m&l - kiske)
Dont turn your head
Back to the wall
Dont close your eyes
And wait for your fall
If you belive that you know in this time
Youve got anything to win
If you belive that you know
Then I say youll lose all again
In this time theres nothing to get for you
You cannot really do what you want
Youre a child, a prisoner in your mind
You are a victim of this hopeless time
You better believe all you do has a sense
Its not for nothing
You better believe all the troubles you have
Will pay you someday
Why dont you help yourself and do the best
Put all the bombs back up their builders ass
Why dont you stand up to say who you are
To show the people that paradise is not far
Oh, cant you see we got the right
To look into the future without no need to hide
No we wont accept what you do
We stand up cause were not the people
You can abuse
Oh, cant you see we got the right
To say we are here to see the light
No, we dont wanna lose all again
Stand up, you people, to save the world
As good as you can
We are credulous idiots
And wont understand what they plan
We march with the times
Its what they expect and we do
Why dont you open your eyes
To undercover all of these lies
I think you wont accept this
Go oppose with your fist
Fight for your rights
Oh, can t you see we got the right
To say we are here to see the light
No, we dont wanna lose all again
Stand up, you people, to save the world
As good as you can

What's Courage
Here's a question thats always on the back of your mind
With an answer that's nearly impossible to find
What is courage?
People often mistake courage for bravery
Like someone that looks like a celebrity
Bravery is having little or no fear
Like a dying person who knows the end is near
Courage is overcoming what makes you tremble and shiver
Like knowing you might die but still donating your liver
But courage wouldn't exist without fear
Like intoxication wouldn't exist without beer
So I guess the true question is clear
Not what is courage, but what is fear

The Amazing Grace Of God.
We get what we deserve!
Do we? Do we really?
Do we really get what we deserve?
Kelly said ‘If we all
get what we deserve,
then we will all
be on our way to hell.’
Kelly said ‘But Christ
gave his life for us, that
is the Grace we can never
repay.’ The Grace of God.
“For while we were still
helpless, at the right time,
the Messiah died on behalf
of ungodly people.”
It is rare for anyone to die
for the sake of a righteous
person, for a truly righteous
person, very few will obtain
the courage to die. “But God
recommends his own love to
us in that, while we were yet
sinners, Christ died for us.”
“Blessed are those whose
transgressions are forgiven,
whose sins are covered over; ”
for God chooses to see it no more.
“Blessed is the man
whose sin Adonai
will not reckon against
his account.” Debt is paid.
Christ was our Lamb
our ransom sacrifice
in the blood of the Lamb
is our debt paid in full.
This is the Amazing Grace Of God.
This is our ticket to heaven and eternal salvation.

Like Everyone Around
I don't wanna lose nobody
When I say this.
I don't wanna lose nobody
When I unball my fists,
And IF I should throw a fit...
I want you all to sit down!
I don't wanna lose nobody now,
I wanna share what I found!
I picked up on some gossipness,
Between sisters and brothers
And others mixed!
Talking about this and that
And him and her
And where something happened,
And what occured.
I eased up very gently
Since I didn't want to disturb,
What was being said...
AND what my ears heard!
Seems like nothing's being done
To bring happiness to them.
They talk about being 'saved' and 'holy'
And All I hear from them is sin.
He's trying to make a date,
After her husband leaves the home.
She gives him a time to meet...
So they can be there all alone!
His says his wife,
Has a new friend she likes.
He liked her too..
Until he saw them screwin'!
She held his hand...
And he rub it against his crotch!
She rubbed his behind,
That raised his 'hard' a notch!
I couldn't believe
What I heard and saw.
These two should be arrested...
For taking my breath,
And dropping my jaw!
I stood there in awe.
Where IS the law?
I want to report what I heard,
And saw!
I don't wanna lose nobody
When I say this.
I don't wanna lose nobody
When I unball my fists,
And IF I should throw a fit...
I want you all to sit down!
I don't wanna lose nobody now,
I wanna share what I found!
People that sound...
Like everyone around!

The Tinanmen Tank Man
What happened to the Tinanmen Tank Man perhaps only the Chinese Authorities do know
The brave one who stared down the tanks of a powerful Nation in time back two decades ago
He stood on the pathway of the huge tanks dancing and swinging his shopping bags above his head
In his eyes the look of sheer courage against all odds he did not show any dread.
Like his identity what happened to him is a mystery and as a mystery will remain
But the story of his act of defiance will be retold again and again
A story of unbeatable courage from the massascre of Tinanmen Square
To the oppressed of the world a true hero people like him to say the least rare.
His act of courage of the highest order to the Tank Man Tango Dance has given rise
In an act of defiance most would see as extremely courageous though some would not see as very wise
Alone he stood on the pathway of the tanks a Chinese Horatius in history he will live on
A moment in Human History that will be remembered when most other memories to posterity will have gone.
For his act of marvellous courage perhaps with his life he did pay
The hero for Human Rights on June the fifth 1989 from Beijing from here far away
He will always be remembered as the Tinanmen Tank Man the story of his bravery is told on every Shore
A story of courage that will live for centuries if not even forever more.

Turn! Turn! Turn!
Pete seeger
To everything, turn, turn, turn
There is a season, turn, turn, turn
And a time for every purpose under heaven
A time to be born, a time to die
A time to plant, a time to reap
A time to kill, a time to heal
A time to laugh, a time to weep
A time to build up, a time to break down
A time to dance, a time to mourn
A time to cast away stones
A time to gather stones together
A time of love, a time of hate
A time of war, a time of peace
A time you may embrace
A time to refrain from embracing
A time to gain, a time to lose
A time to rend, a time to sew
A time of love, a time of hate
A time of peace, I swear its not too late
Original source
To every thing there is a season, and a time
To every purpose under the heaven:
A time to be born, and a time to die; a time
To plant, and a time to pluck up that which is
Planted;
A time to kill, and a time to heal; a time to
Break down, and a time to build up;
A time to weep, and a time to laugh; a time
To mourn, and a time to dance;
A time to cast away stones, and a time to
Gather stones together; a time to embrace, and a
Time to refrain from embracing;
A time to get, and a time to lose; a time to
Keep, and a time to cast away;
A time to rend, and a time to sew; a time to
Keep silence, and a time to speak;
A time to love, and a time to hate; a time of
War, and a time of peace.

What Gives You Courage
Without fear there cannot be courage
Fear drives the unthinkable out of us
What gives you courage when there is none?
What gives you courage to get out of bed?
What gives you courage to drive when you know it's dangerous?
What gives you courage to succeed?
What gives you courage to survive?
What gives you courage to strive?
People have courage to live for their children
People have courage to live for themselves
People have courage to live for hope
People have courage because they believe
People have courage to not give up
Fear is not the essence of life
But a free soul not tamed
Courage is the journey of your heart
Guided by strength
On a path of untamed obstacles
Let courage guide you
As you begin your quest

From Destruction To Reconstruction
From images of devastation,
deep pain, and sometimes even revolt,
come before our eyes living tokens
of humanitarianism, solidarity, cooperation -
noble life lessons encompassing courage
springing from all the ones who truly act
with deep respect for Nature
and for the human being dignity.
Children's eyes are sad and distant-looking
as if they still were feeling the unlimited strength
of the giant waves moving! !
Brave young people keep projecting their dreams -
across a land that is now more sacred -
as though those dreams were being offered
to their parents and other beloved ones
who left for good!
Men and women bent in their weary bodies,
desperately wanting to honour past memories,
they keep struggling...
so they can prevent pain from spreading.
Now time has come for union, mission, and pardon,
so as to allow springing life
to continue its course even though harder
and accept at every moment the unexpected disaster! !

Just Reflecting
Is there any war worth its aims and targets?
Shall we accept winners and losers
Keeping on fighting and threatening with continuous air strikes?
Do you really think this is a question of...
power, justice, bravery, and determination?
Do international leaders feel it as an accomplishment?
Do they end up feeling more tranquil
Just because UN has provided emergency relief?
Where's the strong will, mutual understanding,
and sensible spirit of cooperation?
Where's flexibility, respect for human rights,
and fair democracy to free every nation? !
Hundreds (or thousands) of lives have been destroyed;
Innocent people whose dreams have been buried!
Tell us why weren't they protected?
They would actually be the utmost witness
Amidst the rubble and ghosty scenery of distress! !

Sonnet: On My Future
I do not change my future on my own;
God has been doing that for me till now;
Amidst my earthly problems, I’m alone;
Nevertheless, I’m safe: I don’t know how?
Some people work all by themselves in life;
Their trust in themselves is more than in God;
They scheme to drive out penury and strife;
Nevertheless, they get their earthly rod.
The one who puts his trust in God is wise;
His peace of mind and heart are excellent;
The one who trusts himself lands up in vice;
He wastes his precious time that God has lent.
Have faith in God and future looks alright;
The atheist does suffer sad a plight.
