When you say why always me,
I tell you why not me.
Happiness isn’t bought,
But the poor don’t have it.
My dreams are too long,
Than the hour I sleep.
And when I wake plans,
Of making them a reality,
I realize it is already dark,
So I have to dream again.
I don’t know where to start.
But when I start,
Believe me,
I won’t stop till I finish.
If am not afraid to die,
Why be afraid to live.
In words they say,
Work smarter not harder.
But in real life it is.
Work harder then smarter.
And know am dying,
Just a piece of advice,
To you my brothers and sisters,
If you let nature decide,
You will never get a conclusion,
Then you will be,
The only one to blame.
Today I have decided to put myself into the Libyan’s shoes, especially those who are mostly affected by the current situation of slavery in their country. By doing so the following is a poem that expresses their feelings to the world.
JUST A MAN.
A man,
Whose land was,
Full of wanted wants,
Dominated by his own,
But,
Too much became harmful,
His own wealth led him to agony,
And lost his self-esteem,
Is the man I was.
A man,
Whose body,
Now is not his own,
And his mind locked,
In his own motherland,
History repeating like a miracle,
A man who can’t,
Say a word about his rights,
That the world can listen,
Even though he has the right to do so,
Is the man I am.
A man,
Who won’t allow silence,
When it reach time to talk,
Who can pay back violence,
To the enemy who make him stack,
Who gonna break all virgin intelligence,
And irrigate the growing hearts of patriots,
Well determined,
To bring new life order,
With pain or no pain,
With suffering yes or not,
Is the man I wish to be.
Help me dear brothers,
To be the man I want to be.

What Libyans are passing through right now is not only an African concern but also a World calamity. By any means it has touched all of us especially psychologically seeing our brothers and sisters in that condition. Tough times never last but tough people do. Long live Libya, Long live Libyans.
