That board of "peace" accurately sums up how inadequate and farcical the actual "board of peace" in our world is. I'd say, despite all the wrong that Darth Vader, Voldemort, the Joker etc. did, the genocidal war criminals in our world on that board are worse. I pray for better days ahead soon for those suffering this horrific genocide in Palestine and Sudan and across the world iA

As do I Najwan, I pray things get better in this messed up, chaotic world full of pain and suffering. The silver lining that gives me hope is that others are showing their care and being made aware of the reality of things and trying to help make them better. Wa iyyakum, shukran for your continued work, writing and courage

It is so small, and I fear, of little impact. But I write my heart and soul, to ease my pain and all that grief.

I tire of how we fail Falastin. I long for the day we save, restore, refresh, rejuvenate her. And rid this modern world of cancer evil we allowed to grow, manifest and control.

It may feel small, but its impact is great. Keep writing, your words have meaning and resonate with many others. I am tired of how we fail it too, day after day. I pray that day arrives soon, and that our efforts pay off. The waiting and being in this moment, when things continue to be awful, is the most difficult part. Yes, it will be free iA, I hope I can see that day

I pray mama and baba, after losing theirs to Israel and its cruelty, will see that day, before I am forced to bid them farewell. In the meantime, I try to stay afloat, remember the reason for my life force. Distractions mean so little to me. One day inshallah I will be allowed on my homeland. And any talent and heart I have, I wish to dedicate solely to them.

Shukran for being so kind and supportive of love and the cause. God bless you. God bless Falastin, soon and forever 🙏

What a powerful poem at the end. It's hard to fathom how anyone can not pay attention when this 'never again' genocide is being committed and supported by the elites of our countries.

I can't imagine what the kids in Palestine must be going through, and it breaks my heart, Najwan. Kids are so vulnerable, and the trauma is unimaginable.

Take care, as always, Najwan. I hope you sleep well, and we'll write and fight another day.

They are. Evil has taught us a lesson. I only pray and wish, we implement. But here we go, act of devotion, man-stage convenience..

I carry the pain, the weight of global disappointment, in my heart, on my shoulders 🙏

I picked up my pen last night but couldn’t generate the energy/heart to do it all. I try today. It’s hard to fathom this world is real. What jokes of things we have become.

Hope you are keeping well sweet Diana. Shukran for all that you do. 🇵🇸♥️🙏

And shukran for all you do too, sweet Najwan.

Ya, what a world. And it could be so much more wonderful than it is in places. Trump and his allies are out of control.
