Inspirational Reality I live in a house, I want to renovate. Yours was bombed and bulldozed, now you live in a tent. I need a new car, trade the old one away. You lost your feet in a bombing yesterday. I sleep so cozy and warm in a king size bed. You find comfort in the cold hard floor instead. Something doesnt work out Ill complain to everyone. While you hide your tears when you lose someone. My freezer is full with samoosas and pies. Your tummy sounds are muffled by rockets and cries. I open my fast with plenty food in my plate. You are thankful for that single date. I do some chores my back is sore. You lost your sons your pain is much more. My Eid clothes are bought, few hundreds are gone. You were forced to leave with the clothes you had on. I need a few holidays throughout the year. You wont abandon your land despite the fear. I have everything yet I still want more. You just want peace, the end of this one sided war. Despite all this your closer to Allah than Ill ever be. So I am ashamed, ashamed of being me !
