موعد في المدينة -- عمر الفرا

This is my way of responding to Tags. I will not directly answer a tag, but I will provide some interesting read and I will reference the person who sent the tag who is in this case TeaLover in this comment.

قصيدة للشاعر العبقري عمر الفرا


وبقيت منتظرا متلفتا قلقا
قد فات موعدها
وعقارب الساعه، تمشي على مهل
واقول في صمتي
هل من هنا تأتي ام من هنا تاتي
ولعلها نسيت
ولعلها شغلت
ولربما سخرت مني بموعدها
ولربما قصدت غدرا ولن تأتي
هل من هنا تأتي ام من هنا تأتي؟

ولمحتها والقلب جن وطار بي
هل ممكن ان لا تجيء لموعدي؟
يا ايها العقل الغبي؟!!
كم كان ظني سيئا
سأضمها وبلا عتاب. هل ها هنا وقت العتاب؟
سأذوب في احدابها
سأموت في اشواقها
فلقد يأست من الحياة بدونها
ولقد يأست من الغياب

وأفقت من حلمي!
لا، لاأظن، بل ممكن! لا مستحيل!
هل يهرب الإنسان من مقدوره؟
يا خيبتي، ليست هي!


وقفت بقربي ترقب المجهول مثلي
وتلفتت وتأوهت
والساعة الكسلى تمشي على مهل
مثلي انا، في وقفتي، في حسرتي
في لهفتي وتلفتي
وأظنها كانت تقول بسرها
هل من هنا يأتي، ام من هنا يأتي؟

    Yes it is Sara. I am glad you like it.

    Anonymous, I thought you meant something on a different level. But that's still funny.

    Lotusgem, why do you think it is funny?

    Anonymous sounds everything but funny. S/he sounds desperate and sad; my heart goes for you Anonymous.

    I don’t want to spoil the sensitivity of your post. I think you have chosen a very nice poem to publish and that says a lot about your loving heart. Mr. Farra is very talented indeed.

    It seems I misread your comment.

    I saw humor in them both making the best of it and being "lucky", as if each one is saying hey at least Im not alone right.

    I don't think I will be needing to delete your comment, unless I misread your comments again. :)

    Maria,

    It is poetry, which can be very hard (and largely pointless) to translate. :)

    The idea is about a man who is waiting in a bus stop looking at his watch and wondering when will she come.

    The poet takes into the mind of the man and his thoughts on why she is late, and how he mistook someone to be her and his ego kicks in until he realizes his mistake.

    The man looks at the woman he mistook for his date stand next to him and he thinks she is probably thinking the same thoughts.

    Its really beautiful. The kind of thing you need to be comfortable with Arabic to appreciate.

White Phosphorus - Israel is clearly desparate

-
Israel is now using White Phosphorus in Gaza. White Phosphorus is not an illegal weapon. It is however, to be used under very strict regulations. The most relevant of these is that it is not to be used on personnel. This includes the prohibition of use against military combatants as well as civilians. A person coming in contact with this substance will suffer horrific burns, and the heat will peal the skin from the bone. Having bombed UNRWA schools, hospitals, and ambulances, it is clear that Israel is intentionally targeting civilians. And now its clear they are even doing this with illegally used weaponry. It is also clear that Israel is targeting the civilians in order to scare them and scare Hamas into a submissive ceasefire that guarantees Israeli presence in Gaza. Israel however, is getting no where, and its at the end of its rope. I yesterday saw a 12 year old girl who had both her legs amputated at the knee due to severe burns that reached the bone. The girl was in the hospital...

Who is to blame?

-
I was having a conversation tonight during the sahrah at a friend's house about the validity of the position that the Government of Jordan has taken regarding the War on Lebanon. A comment was made during that conversation that sparked a thought. Who is to blame? My friend said that the Jordanian people don't follow rules and get politically carried away easily and as a result should not be allowed to demonstrate and should be controlled *these words are me putting politely*. When I look around, the people of Jordan do behave rather impolitely towards each other and do not obey the rules. And the question here is who is to blame? We are certainly not stupid by evidence of the academic achievements and intuitive solutions made by Jordanian companies and Jordanian students ...etc. So IQ is not really it. I blame both the people and the government. I blame the government because the law doesn't seem to apply to everyone, and not all of the law is applied. To explain this, here...

3-Rings-of-Light on my 360

-
After a while of crashing and freezing, expectedly, my XBOX 360 has finally given me the 3 finger salute known as 3RL (3 Rings of Light). Error code is 0102. Which basically for a while meant that its dead beyond repair. Now however there is a number of alternative methods that may revive it. I have nothing to lose that I didn't already. I'm starting with the eraser. Will keep you posted. UPDATE My XBOX 360 is fixed and I went through the whole Nurnburgring on PGR3 and everything except for the fans seems to be working fine. The fans are much louder now.
