Like Leaves in an Autumn Night..

I couldn't sleep.. There is a stirring wave that needs to shatter on my shores.. and like a steady land I stood firm, and infused its rousing rage.. no pen could transform it into writing.. this is just an attempt:   “ Like leaves in an autumn night... The shattered heart has declared its flight.. A blatant strain of life...  Uprising   Tears, Drained of patience.. Diminished... Behold the wrath of flowers, Against its very perfume.. The spiritual rebel, Has come home, Proud of its solitude.. singing: In the darkest night, I chose to suffer.. In the realm of void I sailed my boat.. To the unknown... Hoping.. For a foolish hope, Is all I have.. To wander along, This wretched life... So long, my beautiful life… "

For example, the current typing layout of the very keyboards that we use daily in our PCs or laptops, have you ever wondered why it is laid out the way it is. We only type fast (most of us do anyway) because we got ...

A "grey" Perspective..

I’m not sure if this is a subject you like to go through, or even interest you in any way.. or even you agree with me on it.. but, well.. have u ever wondered while the world is getting smaller and smaller.. and ironically, it gets more and more complex.. I'm sure you thought about that.. and every time a big change happens (either political change, or pure technological) life only gets worse and worse.. not a day passes, without me wishing that I was living in the ancient ages.. way back in time.. where one lives for his day, and worries of none.. the days when people value love and friendship, beauty and art, valor and bravery.. when people fight the unjust, and hearten the righteous.. But, again, when I rummage around history and dig through its pages, I find that even those times witnessed the cruelty and malice of the human mind.. people were killed over wealth and lands.. greed.. people were enslaved so others can live prosperously.. discrimination was as easy as scribbling o...
