Had become addicted on drugs,
He had a good wife and a small son,
He would go to his mother to extort money from her,
She would do as he wanted,
There were clashes between mother and daughter in law.
I told my friend to let go and leave it to the wife.
She said,"It's the mother's heart that does not want to listen,
My motherly love precedes everything.
Let your mind control your heart and your motherly love,
Help your daughter in law ,
Do is what is right.
I can't,
He is my only child and I love him whatever he may be
Sometimes over love,
Can make you lose someone.

Two things in me,
Not be overly kind,
Not be outspoken and maintain silence.

Bombarded,
Rubbled,
About to die.
I, Ahmed and my friends yet dream,
To eat a shawarma,
A chicken sandwich,
Not to have the roads closed,
Waiting for a brother,
To hear his mother calling him,
Hopefully to see another morning.

Nothing to say,
Write a poem,
A haiku,
A jingle,
Or draw anything that comes to your mind.

In a woman are gems,
Modesty and shyness,
That make them appealing to men,
Like bees to flowers.

Are blank papers,
Innocent and sinless,
My prayers for them,
Let them wake up in the morning,
In Peace
Not in pieces,
A smile on their faces,
Not tears in their eyes,
With family by their side
Not as orphans.
Let them not be scapegoats of our wounds.
Children are a gift,
If you have one child,
You are truly blessed.

In church,
I hand her over to you,
She is all yours,
No guarantee,
No refund.
