Sharpening the blade


The Iron through it's life, dives into the mouth of the dragon that is throwing his flames, It is a destiny no escape from it. The Iron takes the color of it's enemy, also a layer of darkness occurs over it during this process.
A red hot burning tragedy hits the Iron, darkness surrounds all his body, and still silent it remains, silent because of the shock, or silent because of the extreme pain, or maybe because the Iron knows his destiny and that this process is for it's good...
Sooner or later you passing by the workshop you can't ignore the sound of the iron screaming loud, yes it is iron a fine metal, unbreakable metal is screaming and struggling. With every hit on it's deformed body a short scream is released, the iron has lost faith, it was ready to take the heat of life, living the hell before death but not to be beaten hard.
This process happens over and over again, how cruel is the heart of that man working in a dim low-light entourage, dipping it into the mouth of the dragon, letting the iron there to it's limit and at the moment were it turns to a yellow bright orange, moments before the iron turns into white moments before it's death and how many times the iron has wished death, just at that moment, the blacksmith takes the iron out and the hammering process continues...
Using different techniques and how terrifying are those techniques, seven different techniques by it names you can know how hard is that process: "drawing down, shrinking, bending, upsetting, swageing, punching and forge welding.
Again and again, time after time, and the process continues and still the iron can't avoid screaming at every hammering... Didn't it learn the lesson? Why does it keep nagging? The Iron loses hope but still screams at every beat.
Suddenly things change, a new event got involved, not an easy process but still feels like heaven comparing to the previous life. The iron now brights of joy, clean and shiny and gently has been placed on a stand so proud among others, each of those swords laid back there feeling that is the best.
And more proud they get when noble men enters and picks up those swords, they are out to the sun, where they can shine reflecting the mighty light of the sun.
Thinking that it is the eternal rest, this is what it was waiting for, but he who has been into a continuous action can't rest so long and starts to think about it's destiny... I did not get into all this pain to simply sleep at the end, but can't do anything and can't imagine what could be done for a change.
Before becoming completely bored and surrendering to it's laziness the sword finds it self held high to the sky shining brighter than ever, this time it notices that is not alone, thousands of swords shining there, some of them is not as much as others, and many already has scars on it blade. It is war but this time the good sword knows and confident gets to it, there is no fear in it's heart now knowing that this is easier than all that has passed, and it had enough rest to get into this again.
This time again we can hear the iron screams, but it is a sound of excitement and power. cleaned and brightened after each battle, the sword rests while waiting with joy it's next battle, some days it is so proud cause it managed to break some other blades that probably did not get the good process at the beginning of life.
But life is not always glorious, many times this sword has found it self laying on the battle filed, it's a loss darkness has found it's way back to the heart of the sword again red is the color of his blade, feeling that it is the end, now the sword has to stay in the dirt for ever, holding over it's blade a long history of glory that helps to keep a smile and shine under the moonlight, but this is the only joy that is there comparing to the bad feeling for this humiliating end...
There on the ground has seen many cavaliers passing near by, it remembers the old days, and feels so weak cause non of those soldiers decides to take it back to the field, it became old and ignored...
Every time this particular sword falls in his dark illusion till one day a warrior passes by this field and notices this fine sword there, only a true warrior a very experienced one can appreciate and knows the value, he picks it up and takes it to other battles of glory, at those moments the sword always remembers the words of the blacksmith saying "you my son will shine for ever, I have put you into the hardest of what I can do, and put into you the most of my experience to make you the most glamorous of all" those words has been doubted many times and will be many other times, but always proves it's righteousness.

You care?



It is well known that all Lebanese are into politics, I see many youth who do really commit to working and volunteer to support and advertise for the political parties, All are fascinated by the brilliant slogans that "leaders" come out with...
In fact this makes me happy, to see youth really interested and caring. At first impression I see hope in the future, a good change a fresh blood.
But I stand for a second and admire, at that moment sadness surrounds my heart. Youth you are the creative, you are the fresh, you are the majority, you are the consumers, you are the creators, you are the power. You are the ones who are supposed to be free from the prejudgement.
Our ancestors gave us a lot of concepts to work on, and gave us a great Identity that managed to save us from the worse cases, our old history is a good package, our new history is kept in the fog for the benefit of many who are preparing for us the darkest conspiracies, and worse they work to put our old history in doubt and questioning.

I would like to give an opinion about this. Be conceptual and not sheep, see the big image and be honest to your self. When you got involved in the political life, you got there for change, but how sad I feel when I see you all going like sheep. You got committed to a party (I hope to a party and not a leader) because the leader of the party said he wants freedom, he wants prosperity, life,  equality.
That is awesome but later on you accept all the excuses given to you, that prevents this innocent (ironic) guy from accomplishing those goals...
Come on, the lie is so clear, too bad I won't get into examples cause examples will ruin my article, yes it will ruin it cause once I include a name in the article the followers of that person will concern this hall article as a conspiracy against them...
I address my word to all youth, those who I agree to their opinion, and to those who I don't. We are all in the same lie, either you are right in my opinion or not, learn to be free, work for the concept that is given to you and not for the person who is giving it, learn to think to your self and not to what the media gives to you.

When we were younger we learned that the media is the fifth authority in the political life, but this is a lie, in this case I am talking about the media all around the world not only the Lebanese ones. It is all oriented media. Media became a tool for the war and not a mirror of truth, yes too bad this is our situation now. What a situation if you do not check the media you are uninformed and if you check it you are misinformed, so know how to read it.

Youth go outside, there is people who are right and others who are not, this is true. But there is you who want what is right and many of you in the opposing sectors who agree to the same goal, how funny is that? Get involved in your parties who ever are those parties but there you are, a huge responsibility is up on your shoulders once you are in, you will have to fight the greatest wars of your life, you will have it against the people who are on the same side of you, yes there where the real war is, cause it is them who keeps you away from accomplishing your goal, educate your self from life, read different books and do not make prejudgements but be careful, calm, open and patient. Work on changing your environment so it suits the goals that you are aiming too, cause if it is not there where change starts then change will never happen, if you seek honesty in governments you got to have well trained honest humans, cause only them can get you closer to your goal, and this does not happen in short time, it is a life time strategy.

Going with the system and implementing change inside it, is like getting in an old building putting bombs on it roots, so you put it down and make a new one instead.

Shouting to the system from the outside is like having an AK47 and shooting on a well defended building.

Getting in the system and simply be happy to have a room in there, will get you dead because of the rotten smell that is now in there.

Sleeping outside the system and not acting, it is like sleeping between two houses where the neighbors throws shits on each other.

Change is not impossible, it is possible, it is the life, but the trick is that it goes slowly.

At the end you have to ask your self:
- Do I care?
- Do I dare?
- Am I up to change?
- Am I young?
- Am I alive?
- Do I have an open philosophy in life?
- Do I have a free mind and an honest heart?
- Am I ready to get into the greatest wars in life?
- Can I see the truth in the eyes of my opponent?

Or:
- am I a sheep?
- Did they fill my heart with shit?
- Did they put chains around my mind?
- Is prejudgement ruling my interaction with others?
- Do I immediately consider my enemy as the extreme lie?

The king and the fortress



Each time that the king walks around his fortress that is still building it's walls... Hundreds of workers working stacking rocks. It is really weird that the king himself stops many times to carefully help and work with them, he has his own spaces that only he works on it.
Accompanied with his counselor admiring this no harmony in work but there is a certain bizarre beauty, yes there was no harmony at least this was the opinion of the counselor. You can see places people working in groups and other places someone building alone, some uses dark stones others uses colored stones... Some places the wall is already too high and other places still at it's beginning. But the counselor gave up asking the king about all that is happening. Except that one day surprised by a bizarre thing seen newly he couldn't keep his silence longer and he addresses to the king... My lord aren't those the spies of your enemy? and they were supposed to be killed? You kept them alive? No no worse, you assigned them to build part of your wall... It's your wall it's your protection...

The king smiles and explains: my dear friend walls means nothing to me, cause war means nothing to me, it's just a frontier to make my visitors feel safe. But what's important is what I learned during all the history of my kingdom is to be open to all people, let all participate in building my kingdom, it brought joy to my heart and diversity to my city. As you can see I put my touch very carefully from time to time, look at it how I have drawn the limits between the different workers.

I understand my lord but still your enemies are inside your walls and they can easily plan your death, and you have great engineers who can easily make your walls high in short time.

Looking in the eyes of the counselor the King keeps seconds of silence wondering in his mind, after all these years and still this man did not understand, then he says: my enemies are so busy with planing to kill me so they can't see the easy way to get my head, and assigning to them the walls in that side of the kingdom is the best way to keep them busy, and for the rest I do not want to finish my walls now, I do not want to die early I want to keep seeing the evolution and work around me.

Not very convinced, but glad that the king is at least giving him some answers. The counselor continued maybe he will find what will heal his curiosity. Now supposing that I am convinced with what you already said, I can see also that every day new people come and work, people who you do not know, you do not know where they came from nor what they want to do, how do u assign to them where to work so you stay safe?

Enough questions for me, the questions are now, what are you doing here? you have been my companion for years and you have many security doubts but still u feel safe, ask this to your self.
My enemies fear what they don't know and they don't know what is the reason of my safety and prosperity, It is not me who assigns each where to go but it is the great power from above who I learned to trust, It is the wisdom of God. Every morning I wake up and go to the high tower in my castle and take a look on the workers and I notice their movement and how with time some leave and the others go work at the place that fits them maybe not from the first day but soon. Like you at first I was worried and tried to force my opinion but after all nothing worked except this way.

So at the end I tell you, this is all a combination of my experience that allows me to put limit to each, my good heart to accept the presence of all people in my kingdom, my faith in God who distributes each person to where he belongs and at the end the great mystery that is created by all this combination increases the love and respect of the good people and creates fear in the mind of my enemies who stays lost wondering from where to attack.

People I met: Super Night Club


- Hey you (Shad addressing to the PIMP) How does things work in here?
- You chose one of the dancers, and then you have two choices the first you offer her a drink and she spends 30min with you, second you buy a bottle and she stays with you the night and you pick her up from her hotel on a day she is free and she is yours for that day, you have to pay her extra money.
-That girl, second on the right what's her name? And what day is she free?
-Cynthia our new girl, she she's a perfect company, you can have her tomorrow.
-Great, then get me a bottle and get Cynthia to that table next to us I will wait there.

Anthony said: Shad what happened? I thought you had a promise to your self never to get a girl from such a place... remember? it is you who puts the rule of only have a drink and enjoy the show...
-Things changed the moment I stepped into this place "serpent's hole" it is indeed, now excuse me.

A cigaret in his trembling hand, his eyes checking around... He doesn't look comfortable, it is more like someone who is in a date with a gorgeous lady he already have a crush on, more than being waiting for a show girl, maybe because it is his first time in such situation since long time. Getting close to his table, she had some exaggerated makeup she had this fake smile on her face, she touches his shoulder and suddenly the smile faded... she took her hand off and took a step back, the PIMP pushed her again and introduced her to him.
-Here you are our gorgeous fresh lady Cynthia, you can call me, my name is Hyena, if you need anything sir.

A strange look in his eyes: Hello, Cynthia.
-You know my original... you can call me Dark Warrior.
-I paid to get Cynthia, and Cynthia I shall get.

She stood and signed to Hyena that she is leaving the table, he ran to the table.
-Any problem?
-Yes I do not like this gentleman, he insulted me.

Shad pushing his hand to the hand of Hyena...
-I paid for this, and I am gonna get it.

took her aside by her hand, obviously they didn't have a friendly conversation... She was treated like any other girl in this business... they get deprived of their dignity. Then he brings her back to the client.

-The Irony of life... while taking a deep breath and having that annoying smile that every one knows it hides pain besides it, Cynthia nice name, it suites a warrior who willingly surrendered to his enemy. He tried to touch her leg and reach her privates, she didn't let him, he caressed her cheeks and suddenly grabbed her hair, licked her neck and whispered in her ear: since you are here, I guess you do not want to lose this new job... You better obey. He hardly managed to ignore that ear ring that holds long stories.
-Now I got to leave, but I reserved you for tomorrow, you better be ready at noon and be dressed what suites your new way of life...


You are so strange tonight, proclaimed Anthony with a silly smile on his face and his tone that Shad hates, you were a bit rough to that bitch what a sudden change bro. But she is a good choice man, nice butt she gonna rock your day.
-Drive, I need a beer and a ride to enjoy my cigaret I need a fresh breeze and some calm, it really was a rough night, and it is gonna be harder tomorrow if you know what I mean...
Anthony smiled, his sober friend has shown a new wild side, what Anthony considers manhood... but he didn't dare to say any more words to him, he thought that it has been a pressure on his friend this is why he is not talking... he only admired him, terminating each cigaret right after the previous.

She opened the car door, stays next to him, dressed as he wished for... she didn't have to, she knows this but she did as he wishes, she is the old brave warrior but once again so weak in his presence or she pretends to be for a reason too private for her.
Not a single word was said, she walked behind him till the hotel room, he pushed her to the wall and he had his wild moments, she was as obedient as usual, does she enjoy this?

She knew what's in his heart, she waited the perfect moment to speak, I am the same old warrior... I want you to keep your same unique warm heart.
-You were a warrior, or at least I thought you were a warrior, but no you never were. You only are a liar, you were offered the chance to get a new warm life, you refused it while you hated yours, you then got set free to go make your supposed war you landed on this shit... remember the story I told you about? with all the evidences I had, but you insisted on taking the same adventure that you already end up lost after it a thousand time before. You are only a cheap woman full of foolishness.

He pushed her again into a rough and humiliating sex, and she surrenders... he never understood this she still touches him softly, this was always his greatest paradox.

Dropped her back to the hotel she threw back the money to him saying you will need it to come back and buy me a new bottle. he never knew and will never know what runs in her mind after he leaves her each time since he ever met her. How not to be affected, he was exhausted, for two days he acted against all his principles... He will have to work a lot to heal this injury, he will have to pray a lot not to lose the good that he always built his life upon. He will have to live with this mystery for the rest of his life, or not? Also he wonders if this ever was a mystery for her. He always thinks that he can see behind this wall that every one stops at the writings on it "bitch". Will he ever accept that she is a bad person, he never stops at the walls that people builds around their selves this is his gift that he enjoys. He will forget her cause life has to go on... He does not surrender but he had this lesson in life, "he must offer his self good presents and what it deserves".

Break the Chains


While this world is struggling to break his chains, I feel that things are going against my believes of freedom and this frightens me... Not to force my thoughts on any one else but I have my word to say:

Dear youth and comrades looking for freedom, break all chains but remember that morals, love and respect of others, commitment to families nature and some social traditions are part of the freedom the beauty of diversity, personal Identity and Distinction.
Breaking it is like brain and heart signing divorce while the soul witnessing on it.

Christmas the Birth of Jesus.



Funny how people are ashamed from Christmas...
All companies now writes "season's greetings" instead of "Merry Christmas"
And do not put the baby Jesus on their greeting cards any more...
If you do not want the Christ, do not celebrate Christmas...
Yes it is a season of Joy for every one... But it is the baby Jesus that united us in the glorious day of Love...
You want to make money do it, you want to make business do it... But do not forget the one who's birthday is...
I don't want your greeting card if it does not say "Merry Christmas".
If the one you send him a greeting card with Jesus on it, does not accept it then he is not respecting you and he does not want Jesus the soul of the occasion, so why to send him a greeting card?
It's Christmas it's a day for Jesus Christ, the name of Love.
I am glad that all wants to celebrate this date even those who are not Christians, and this brings a great joy to my heart, this truly says that Jesus is the Love living inside the heart of each one of us who ever he is...

Mysteries


It's been a while an Idea is stuck to my head, I want to write about some of my experiences and mysteries in my life, those mysteries that I learned well out of it and had a lot of joyful moments and strange ones... although it caused a lot of pain but all have my big appreciation, and so proud of it too.

I will never give up trying but for now I couldn't write a single paragraph, all I can say that it's miracles. It has been months and years where I invested every moment of calm and privacy to think and try to understand this magic, but all is in-vain.
I have like a million title and thousands of verses  that seems so clear in my mind, but still did not find it's way to the written world.
It's all glorious moments, that I can feel when I close my eyes I hear music and see images, I get in the dance and Inspiration flows in my imagination. Whenever I bring those moments to the real time every single emotion in my body gets tempted, I can see Love, Glory, Pain, Irony, Madness... All are illustrated in Images and encrypted by codes that I am not yet able to decode it so I can show it to you.
I am still cleaning my mirrors so it can reflect clearly my thoughts from the abstract world to the world of shapes. Never will give up cause I have a belief that once an Idea is born in the abstract no matter what it is, sooner or later it will find it's way to the material world, one of the reasons I work to keep my thoughts colorful and beautiful, warm and joyful as much as I can with all my powers so when it's on the way to here it will hold with it a good influence on humanity.
