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. Living in a society that consists of fear, fear of almost everything you say or perhaps you do in day to day bases. Not trying to be smart or (( Very Intelligent in my introduction )) Thoug...

Love, Just love for the love it'self Love unconditionally Let your heart opens it's doors to others Others who are trying to get into your heart Others who have been waiting for your heart to beat Others who matter to you Others who never left you when you disappeared Others who had some deep thoughts towards you Be one of those others Put yourself in their place Now, since we switched the places, what do you feel? What can you see? Have you sensed anything yet? Did your heart beat? To who? Does that really matter to know now? What else have you noticed? Still wondering what you are hiding in your heart!! You are confused, I've noticed that Everybody noticed this change Everybody started noticing how hard you've been on yourself Trying to control your balance and hide your new emotions Being super protective Being confused again?!! What's in your head? What are you thinking about when you first wake up in morning until you hit the bed a...

 نصوص  كتابة بدور العبيدي  المشهد الأول: عادات وتقاليد أهلك الخرافية على عادات وتقاليد آهلي الخرافية سبب كافي بان نعتاش انا وانت على وابل من الاحزان والاحقاد الدفينة لسنوات عديدة وربما اشهر قليلة وينطفئ كل شيئ وكل ذلك بسبب عادات جدي وجدك! واسلافنا الذين خططوا مسبقا بان نكون ضحاياهم ... وهنا يكمن السؤال، هل تعتقد ان الموت سيكون منصفا لنا؟! وحينها فقط سنشعر بطعم السعادة الآبدية؟ ام هناك شيئ اخر بعد ﺍلموت لم يتم اكتشافه بعد؟ المشهد الثاني: شيئاً فشيء، سيسرقون منك ابتسامتك .. ويخطفون نبضات قلبك وينسبونها لهم متى ما ارادوا .. ويتبجحون بك كثيراً مع هذا وذاك متى ما ارادوا ايضاً... ثم سيلتزمون الصمت، والصمت بداية الانسحاب! المشهد الثالث: كل شيء سيكون بخير .. عندما تعود دقات قلبك بالنبض من جديد! المشهد الرابع: انتشرت في بعض الصحف العربية مجموعة من الأعلانات في صفحة واحدة منها اعلان عن وظائف شاغرة للعمل كدعاة دين في برنامج ديني مسيس، واعلانات اخرى عن الرغبة بفتيات ليل في احدى ملاهي بغداد المهجورة، تبدأ ساعات العمل في هذا الملهى ال بعد ا...

  Post by Bedor Alobaidi  Artwork by visual artist Mohamad Khayata  Let the art bring us together, and free us from the obstacles, and difficulties we are surrounded by today because that's one of the best ways we can get along with each other as humans as well as non-human objects... Be cool, weird, and live your world the way you prefer even if it sounds simple or not yet the type of living you are looking forward to have one day, that is still okay... just remember while you are still alive how to live peacefully and let the crazy person inside you get up and recognizes itself better instead of waiting too long for others to wake up that special part of yours!  Do it yourself while you can. Simple as that.

love is forbidden talk is forbidden eye connection is forbidden worshiping God is forbidden Following your heart is forbidden Freedom of speech is forbidden freedom of choice is forbidden dreams are forbidden singing in the streets forbidden To drink and yell from the highest point of a mountain is forbidden In other words, You cannot love, you cannot talk, you cannot see, you cannot worship your God, you cannot follow your heart, you cannot have freedom of speech, you cannot choose, you cannot sing in the streets, you cannot drink and yell from any place!! And even in better words, you were born as a slave, grew up as a slave, lived a great deal of your life is a slave, and probably the you going to spend whatever left for you from years just like that if not worse... Worse as an empty soul, breathing, talking, and sleeping, going to school, going to your workplace and still you feel something is missing, Something called life is missing..... You are not cons...

I lost the key to the world since the day I was born They told me welcome to this world we are so happy to have you in But it never felt the same to me I didn't say a word, of course, because I was still a baby  listening to bunch of words, and uncountable noises The words did make no sense to me when I grew up but the noises did make some sense, one the other hand! Don't ask me, how, and when did that happen, because I myself don't know the answer to that! When I grew up, I started reading history in school, I was excited back then I was excited because the cover color of the history book was red And red was my favorite color, but nobody told me you are going to be afraid of your favorite color little by little and you will be remembering that until the rest of your life Nobody gave me a warning sign  Maybe because nobody cares and they preferred to realize that by myself in a way or another They preferred to see me handle shocking eve...
