    “هجرتُ البعض طوعاً لِأنني
    رأيتُ قلوبهم تهوى فِراقي
    نعمْ أشتاق ، لكن وضعتُ
    كرامتي فوق إشتياقيّ
    وأرغبْ وصلهمْ دوماً ولكن
    طريقُ الذل لا تهواهُ ساقيّ”

    Charles Bukowski
    “We are
    Born like this
    Into this
    Into these carefully mad wars
    Into the sight of broken factory windows of emptiness
    Into bars where people no longer speak to each other
    Into fist fights that end as shootings and knifings
    Born into this
    Into hospitals which are so expensive that it’s cheaper to die
    Into lawyers who charge so much it’s cheaper to plead guilty
    Into a country where the jails are full and the madhouses closed
    Into a place where the masses elevate fools into rich heroes”
