Rising from the Ashes
Triumph of a Creed
O' my people cry no more,
For 'Time' will take revenge of every drop of your blood,
Don't be sad and don't lose hope,
Hold each other's back so that no one can rip you apart,
For soon the shadows will cast terror in your enemy's heart,
Don't feel ashamed in following your religion,
Be firm and show your rivals that you too possess courage,
Show them that the terror with which they used to
rule you has flown away a long time ago,
Possess unity and harmony amongst yourselves,
So that no one dares to divide you apart,
O' my nation cry no more and fight back.

Syria
Syria, which was once famous by the name, 'The land of mercy' has now lost its glory. There was a time when people used to wake up by the sound of their alarms and not by the terror of the bombs. There was a time when the citizens used to run for their jobs and not for their lives. There was a time when the children used to listen to the chirping of the birds in the morning and not the screams. The so-called time played a very important role in their life. Their world now seems to be snatched away from them. Taken away from them on false promises, promises that were made with the intention never to fulfil. A statement that was less an oath and more of a business deal.A bond that had been signed by the blood of the native citizens that clearly focused on not only wiping out half of their community under the false slogan of 'Removing terrorism' but also annihilating half of their land resources so as to make impossible for the coming generations to stand for their rights.

I AM
This is not who I thought I would be. Before my family was captured and forced into slavery, I had aspirations of becoming a wealthy business owner or possibly a scholar and philosopher. Becoming a warrior was the furthest thing from my mind. Unfortunately, our Roman conquerors had other plans.
