المجد
يود الفتى لو خاض عاصفة الردى وصد الخميس المجر والأسد الوردا
ليدرك أمجاد الحروب ولو درى حقيقتها ما رام من بينها مجدا
فما المجد في أن تسكر الأرض بالدما وتركب في هيجائها فرسا نهدا
ولكنه في أن تصد بهمة عن العالم المرزوء فيض الأسى صدا
أبو القاسم الشابي

As the firing squad lined up, a superior officer asked to see the list of prisoners’ names and, seeing Bernstein’s name, demanded whether he was the International […]

This topic brings me to that worst outcrop of the herd nature, the military system, which I abhor. That a man can take pleasure in marching in formation to the strains of a band is enough to make me despise him. He has only been given his big brain by mistake; a backbone was […]

I don’t like the way of making permanent links in WordPress blogs; there are mainly 2 methods:
URL indicates date and/or title post, the most popular method, but the problem is funny: I can’t access to my posts through a proxy/firewall stupidly configured, where the words ’sex’, ‘fuck’, ’suck’, … are censored. As I don’t […]

Once I was waiting for the metro, and someone (who wanted to have a talk) told me while taking one of those awful newspapers:
“Our brothers in Chechnya succeeded to make a trap to Russian Army, God help them and I hope that Palestinian can do the same.”
Something I did not understand, our brother in […]

See her caught in the throb of a drum
Tippling from hide-brimmed stem
Down lineal veins to ancestral core
Opening out in her supple tan
Limbs like fresh foliage in the sun.
See how entangled in the magic
Maze of music
In trance she treads the intricate
Pattern rippling crest after crest
To meet the green clouds of the forest.
Tremulous beats […]

Well, I’m not really artist, I was just playing around with Inkscape and randomizing shapes, then modified colors. You may download the SVG source code from here; I haven’t done it with feelings, but if you want to analyze my artwork to understand my psychology as Freud used to do, feel free to do it, […]
