The road to the longest war starts with a single handshake

Diplomacy , the handshaking , the bowing , the respect
the so on rhetoric. Ritualistic meet , ceremonial pledges
Can the citizen be be fooled?
Your enemy`s enemy is your closest friend, your friends are never the same though.
Such relativity of relations
Can the citizen understand?

A historical continuity , economic inter-dependency
linguistic foundations along with cultural semantics
converging on issues of the so called "global security"
The world too integrated to collapse. They Say.

Integrated by what? - self interest, the mutual motive of making money, filling each others pockets- at the same time digging each others pants with gun powder , waiting upon a moment to strike a light.

Nations together , nations at war , communities in bind, communities in flares
global war , communal war, civil war , arms war , natures war , people at war!
Is the Citizen at war?

A Tale of Two Countries

A similar look , brothers and sisters borne out of the same tale , but yet a story told differently. whose more patriotic cant say , whose more nationalist, no one can tell , but a handful hurt exist across.
Yet they are both , still not together.

Once a middle kingdom ,shadowed by the heavenly light  wherein in case of anarchy a rebellion was also justified. The suns land at past, just a tribute away? A harmonious world existed therein.

Now disputed islets in between , history told differently.
Blame of atrocities pointing fingers on each, the second time the world was not at peace.

Heroes of one , war criminals of the other , worshiped at once guided by faith now just a shrines residents, kept alive for political vote banks to bathe.

Shelling over a no mans land , military fall outs, air strikes and naval exercises
The gods wont be pleased with the visits to Yasukini shrines, neither the masses with a proposed national holiday of 3rd Sept.
Coming of an avalanche it seems when the head of the states meet, a third party summit or country's state visit.  Reinstating the defense posture, are you secured fellow citizen?

Stuck in the vicious circle, harbingers to the legacy. Still are a look for most outsiders - Brother and sisters.

Eid Mubarak

Starry night , darker skies
Moon cornered tombs for the blessed souls
A magic lamp or an enchanted carpet

The secrets behind the kohler gaze
traditions continued with an abbayan drape

Mystic and Soulful
Wondrous dream like
A decorated Window
peeping out to the moon

Instead is a cursed weapon
of murderous killing ,
A zealous hunger for power and control
a fearful , anxious , tearful gaze.

Suicide bombings, disruptions,
Firing only in return
equaled firing to return
no end to siege!

A black Magic shivering
Unpleasant Reality!
Pray for the innocent ones,
the sacrificed souls over the bequest of rage.

May the blood washed arab skies be
rinsed by the moonlit nights on Eid.

AM I AUTHORIZED?

Am I authorized?
Till the time i was not born with it
a birthright, an inheritance
Even If I was
an abusive father or an alcoholic mother
Am I authorized?

Am I authorized?
till the time its not legit- a legal sign,
a printed paper, a notarized signature
Even if I was
Just a piece of land , shade under a tree, to put my feet in the river
Am I authorized?

Am I authorized?
till the time its not a defined tag, a claimed status
a far away friend, a distant lover
Even if I was
Someone else's best friend, or an already married man
Am I authorized?

Am I authorized?
To call it mine.
