Hopeless feelings
of war…
A person is completely unable
to bear…

Neither the lack
of sleep…
Nor the news
he hears…
Nor the displacement and expulsion
from his home he fears…
Nor the sights
he sees…

Or the number of martyrs and wounded
that keeps increasing here…
Or the news of anyone he knows
or is dear…
Or the scenarios that keep unfolding
and may be near…
Or just trying to catch up
and see if the people
who were living yesterday
are living today
in fear…

But always, Alhamdulillah.

Our situation is way better
than any other
at least…
We are alive
and surviving
the inhumanity
of war…
