السكوت

حيرانة - Sat, 2007-11-24 14:15 By 7ayrana
مش هسكت
هتكلم
قال إيه بيقولك
إكتبي بالرمزية يافوزية
يإلا تخدي سنتين في قضية
تلفيقة وملكيش فيها يا فوزية
إكتبي زي مزاجك مايقولك
ماهو إلهامك ومشاعرك
بقيلك يافوزية
ماحدش حينجيكي غير أفكارك
ومبادئك وإيمانك
وطز في الرمزية
والسكوت والسلبية
ومن النهارده أنا غير البشر إلي حواليه
مش هكتب بالرمزية ولاهتصنع بالتفاهية
أناهكتب من منظوري
لأن الظلم مش راح يكون مصير البشرية

Egyptian bloggers have announced that, while the Cairo film festival is taking place from 27 November to 7 December, they will hold a parallel festival in which a “Golden Whip” will be awarded to the best video showing “controversial acts of torture allegedly committed by the security authorities.”

Two policemen received three-month jail sentences on 5 November for mistreating a detainee. A video of the incident, filmed with a mobile phone, caused an outcry among human rights activists and enabled identification of the two police officers.  read more »

Turkey and Nationa ID card for Baha'is

Egyptian Baha'i Family - Mon, 2007-11-19 09:03 By
From Turkish Daily News Nov 17, 2007

"Technology has helped to promote the Baha'i religion; their culture is becoming increasingly well known and their voice is being heard both in Turkey and around the world. But they frequently face problems from the lack of information about the faith and inaccurate public images of the religion. In other words, they live with the problems and disadvantages of being a religious minority in Turkey. They want to be explored and understood correctly, and they welcome any kind of consultation, one of the fundamental doctrines of Baha'is, so that others may learn about the faith.

اللعب بالكبريت

حيرانة - Sat, 2007-11-17 20:06 By 7ayrana
وأنا صغيرة
كل لما بشوف كبريت
بفتكروه شىء عبيط
وأقوم ألعب بيه
تنتني أولع فيه
وفي يوم إيه حصل
حصل إلي حصل
والبيت أهو إتخرب
إتحرق
وفجأةً الضلمة نورت
ولما تقرب تقوم تحرقك
أتاريني مش أنا بس إلي إستهونت بالكبريت
أتاري أبويا وأبوه كمان كانوا ليهم فيه
وأتاري بيتنا ده من زمان محروق
وغيرناه
بس بردوه إتحرق
طب إيه العمل
يبقى بلاش منه الكبريت
قلت والضلمة ياسيد العاقلين  read more »
