Rising storm inside of me

There is an anger that takes over my being, every cell in my body revolts against every assassinated dream, every murdered desire, every fading rainbow, every evaporated hope in the heat of the desert that was once a garden where nightingales sang and butterflies flew over the flowers of wishes under the ray of love’s warming sun…

But Halas, in a world full of deceit and cruelty, it is challenging to exist and live a life worthy of humanity, in a world where everything is sold and bought, where nothing is the same and everything is disposable, where there is nothing but interest and gain, the big loss is lurking behind the closed hearts of those who are tainting this world with their polluted actions, they are spreading their germs in the air and making our earth an unhealthy environment to inhabit.

When our rights become privileges, to hell with the system; when human dignity is slaughtered everyday then to tell with those who rule the world unable to rule over their impulses and complexes; when freedom is nothing but enslavement made legitimate with unfair laws that can be manipulated and twisted then to hell with this laws; when the human being is no longer the center of his universe but rather materialism is then to hell with this universe.

I am angry at those who can make things change for the better for they are in the position of altering and moderating the equation will not refute the status quo but rather make it worst. I am vexed till my bones because I want to make the world better but I can’t even survive my day , I am agitated at the misery and the tears and the broken hearts of the people everywhere and feel helpless to contribute in improving their conditions.

I am irritated and my blood is boiling in rage against myself and the whole world, where is the light in a world governed with darkness? Where is the peace when war is the only language everyone speaks?

Where is salvation when we are all doomed to wander and be lost in the hectic fast rhythm of life?

Where is the cure when there is but diseases and putrefied rotten decomposed values and principles?

It is hard to maintain a positive outlook in life when everything is subject to change? How do we remain the same when everything else is changing so fast? How can we stop and smell the rose when life is becoming a race that never ends towards who owns the most and earns the less?

I feel nothing but wrath against the demolition and annihilation of morals and ideals. Wrath takes its toll on my being, contempt is how I feel towards those who do not have any feelings, and those who know better and do worst, those vampires of emotions, who suck the blood of life and hope out of the living souls and feed from their despair, those who think that when they are, everyone else is not.

Down with anyone who kills and executes the energy and rob us the ability to see and enjoy the beauty in the world, down with those who feast from the sweat of those who are starving, down with the God of money that murders the significance and promotes the price tag…

The storm that hits my soul will never rest until we destroy the bazaar of existence and make the world blossoms with a promise of love and merit for what is sacred about being human. It is by love that we conquer the tyranny of brutality and monstrosity that we are exposed to everyday of our lives.

Love even if you had a thousand reasons to hate, hope even if you had a million reason to despair, for if you don’t then the ship will sink and the world will stay a hostile place to be in and remember all the darkness of the world cannot put out the light of one single candle, be that candle and fight with your light…
