One Day In My Life

it will tell you everything ,no need to explain

I usually wake at six every morning ,I never sleep a lot really no more than few hours each day..

I drink some three cups of coffee.. open my lovely writers café ,off course I use batteries as power,

since we don't have electricity but two or three hours every day..

at eight sharp I run to work using my old car,i have to pass through some hundred check points every day ,and all the while I pray to God if those bullets that are sprayed around me will somehow miss

mesas I already was car bombed three times, one of them was so close it nearly sent my head off, but they have missed me to this day, God must really like me ,I am sure..

and while in my car driving I see corpses here and there, people urge me to carry them to hospital..

but I refrain because if you take them then police there will surely arrest you to know how come

you have a body in your car, only if you are so lucky ,then you will spend some few months in 

their lovely jails, and again if you are lucky you may come out in one piece..however I doubt it 

very much.                                                         Well then I am still driving my car ,and close to work and again then there is a shower of 

shells ,small rockets fall like rain all around me ,its like fireworks only at day light ha ha,its really funny..

and i keep driving ,i told you God must really love me..and i reach my work,drained out of any good wish in

this silly life spend all my time in hearing stories of poor mothers losing their children being killed

day after day, their husbands, brothers..some whole buses full of people being bombed by mistake while driving on ..

so many will cry telling me it's just too much to live through this ,I se old men

cry in front of me,i swear..they tell me they can't feed their families since they can't work ,they can't reach work

so they may starve for days in the richest country of Iraq..my friends ,this is part of the picture of life we lead here for the last six years

I hope you enjoyed this writing..

So intense and sad... as so many cry here and some for such small trivial things in comparison as so much worse goes on in this world.. this is a real eye-opener and touches me so deeply.. I too pray for you my friend.. keep your hope and faith that one day.. this world may become a better place! Your writing makes me weep inside.. such bitter reality! Truly pain and such an atrocious setting.. keep writing.. it's good to share.. may an angel watch over your precious soul continously..

wow this is a very touching piece and a very identical story to what my dad has told me about Iraq if that is what your talking about...you have summed it up in a very nice piece.....may our prayers be with all humans living in this manner

[bluessadmood]

So sad but so true how everything has come into play over these past few years. Makes me think of how the world will be affected when its all over, but then we think to ourselves is this nightmare of war and death really over or do they still creep up on us late at night when we are asleep. Very nice work.

thank you,really

[A.A.Romanczuk]

how well you capture that which is your personal daily horror able to write in lines that make me smile despite the gloom and sorrow...your three cups of coffee for example :) and how God must like you..I feel certain he does, perhaps he gave you this talent exactly for this purpose: to speak for those cannot. i feel the trapped feelings, the misery in those sharp little word-swords. I thank God for people like you who dare to write in such conditions.

[bluessadmood]

thank you so much dear ,times i think i am just being a fool,with no avail,other times methink i am being a hero touching on some serious history ,or treying to make some change,or is it a loud shout..but really i am crying deep inside and am hopless as to what to do so i just spill them words for who ever wants to learn,atc etc

[A.A.Romanczuk]

you're no fool, sir, not at all. i'm very grateful for these spilled words.

[Leslie Marie]

I can picture your situation so vividly through your words. Though, I know I could never truly grasp it without living it. I respect you so much for continuing as you do every day, even in the midst of all the misery. My heart goes out to you. This has made me realize how lucky I truly am. The trials and struggles in my life are nothing; microscopic in comparison to yours. God bless you. Keep writing. You are very inspiring, sir.

i do enjoy ur writing, love to see a day in the life of someone

[Jennifer Lenhardt]

you captured "a day in your life" quiet realistically with this piece. i can't imagine what it must be like, though, through your words you drew me a picture. i will definitely remember to say a prayer for you, and peace for your country. yes, God does really love you.

[Desert Dreamer]

This is craziness, it is a nightmare, no one deserves to live this way. I thought I had it bad...

This is so sad. I can almost feel the pain, but I don't want to say I do. Because I don't know what you go through. So emotional.

[Tate Morgan]

I cant help but feel the pain this has caused It brings me to tears

There is such an overwhelming power to your words.. your life expressed so vividly through the darkness and the pain.. You have given us a glimpse.. one day.. and through it we can understand a bit more another place and time in the world.. Profoundly moving.. still pondering all you've shared, my friend.
