Today, is the anniversary of the death of the great poet Badr Shakir al-Sayyab. May his soul rest in heaven. Thought, this day shouldn't be passed without sharing this post half of it is to remind people, Iraqi people of the importance of this poet and how much his poems was a great inspiration to the young generation during his days. I wish if I could belong to his era, a lot simpler, a lot happier and culturally stronger, when there was a true definition to something called life, and love. But, for those of you who are not familiar with his name or his work; especially poetry lovers, here is a sample on one of his most popular poems called ( Rain Song ) Poem was translated from Arabic to English language by: Lena jayyusi and Christopher Middleton.

Written by Bedor Alobaidi Each wounded person on this land , have tasted sorrow since the day they were born, Lost memories and dead souls would bring you nothing except for failures and that's how the story began! The untold story began while you were gone and I was left alone trying to figure out the possibilities of connecting the past with the present maybe thought I would have the ability to pick up whatever sold piece of our iced memories that might help fixing our fake happiness; But I could not. I once heard you whispering secretly within yourself crying over a dead memory; a sweet bitter memory related to the land of cold souls.. when you were gone, all the signs of joy gone with you..

Clearly, you were moving up slowly, taking a different road to continue the journey alone by yoursel

Written by Bedor Alobaidi Artwork by Shereen Audi You got misunderstood today? So what? They will understand you tomorrow, when you will be already turning your back on them with no regression nor hard feelings, no- Nothing This is how life works and the best you could do is to turn whatever against you now with little patience to the ones who deserves it in the first place later on. And whether it’s going to take you days, months or years, there must be a day to come where you would be able to see a strong light crossing your way without worrying about those who are doing the impossible to underestimate you or stop you for whatever sick reasons they have in their minds. Overthinking about such people, will leave a negative impact on you, but ignoring them as they never exist is the key for not only gaining happiness, peaceful mind, and rested head from useless drama but it will also be one out of hundred steps to pass any difficulty you might be dealing with and reach

So, why you keep bothering yourself with such kinds of people? While you must have been told that the better ones are yet to come to brighten your life the way that makes you happy and well-supported.

   Some bitter sweet lies/ Keep dreaming: By Bedor Alobaidi ( I will be thinking of you every moment from now until my eyes close and the lights go out. You will be the first thing on my mind the second I wake up)! -Someone, somewhere in his dreams said so, and made all of his mates laughing so bad at him because they knew in advance, he was practicing these words before he go up on stage and preform his role in front of a few hundreds of people. On the stage only, the place where audience feel like whatever performance they are watching will be somehow true and close to reality. Even though, IT IS NOT. Believing that the message behind any entertaining love story they got to watch, will simply have the power to transform them from being an ordinary type of lovers into unexpectedly perfect lovers. But again, dreamers gonna dream and nothing should stop them from turning those lies into another dreams and perhaps one of them would turn out smoothly wi
