Lost in Paradise Artwork by the Iraqi-American artist Qais Al-Sindy Written by: Bedor Alobaidi The music that is emitted from the underground, sounds like the sacred hymns belonging to the Renaissance ages Embodied by love and lofty meanings, Meanings that are no longer exist among us in present time We've been fighting very hard to get some of these lost meanings and memories back but we kept failing to fulfill our endless desires in achieving real victories; & only fake victories remained… So, we better set ourselves free from what’s tearing us apart Instead of crying over the things that only can give us pain and pools of iced sorrow drifting from unforgettable bloody past..

Story by Bedor Alobaidi Written on July 5th and posted July 18th, 2016 Des Moines, Iowa.   Aya Mansour, is a young Iraqi poet/writer and an independent journalist; whose name gained an early recognition across the country and became one of the recognized names not just in her country of origin, Iraq but also she has been well known among the Iraqi and Arab communities in the Arab and Western world combined.

In modern day, such questions rises and might become even harder to answer them in a way or another. Not asking for someone to assist us or guide us nor tell us to where should we go, and how can we challenge ourselves at the end of each day; how to be a useful, productive individuals and get other people inspired, and motivated by our experiences.
