THE WORLD WHERE SHAH FAISAL OPENED HIS EYES: World; a place where others are born in a peaceful cradle While I was born to war As I grew I saw people with names and identities But I was a refugee who was taught to lie and hide identity including my real name Others had bread for 3 times to eat and various dishes to choose from While I had to think how to continue to eat the same corner of bread throughout the lunch I have seen others who had brothers, sisters and father to play with But I always had my hands and shadows to talk and play with I have seen kids in fathers lap, shoulder and how they comfort them when their kids fall But I always had my right hand to comfort the left when I used to get hurt I have seen others wearing new clothes on various occasions While I had the same old costume to wear throughout the year The world was a place where I thought I was born to receive and beg for things; Food, clothes, shoes, money and everything else People had cars to travel to amusement parks While I had to knock and beg on every car’s wind shield to take my mother to hospital Relatives were blessings and source of joy for others To me relatives were the ones who would give our family 80 USD in a year When I think of it as of today, I laugh to myself as 400 USD is what I eat just for lunch in a month This world was a hell where I and my mother had to live Today when I see wrinkles in my mother’s hands and face, it makes me go wild As I know they are not because of age And I would have returned the pain that I have received But 3 women never let the human die within me; Mother, Sister and Cristina Because I have promised Kitty that no matter how much pain I have to endure I will not change. I will keep smiling ^_^
