    So meaningful only in 3 lines, with least words. I couldn't think, mesmerize with this angle too.

    2 see tons of steel concrete being razed down is indeed mesmerizing albeit a gruesome one, hw can God ask sumone to seek revenge on his behalf...Al-Qaeda is indeed an institution of madmen.....
    As far as d Haiku is concerned wat can i say..three powerful lines.. :)

    Jihaad? Killing in the name of God?

    I think most of us here would call it a cowardly act of murder. The word I would use to describe how I felt as those towers came down, bringing our way of life down with them, is stunned. I was stunned with horror.

Mommy and Daddy, I Love My School..!!💗

My daddy wakes me up at six in the morning, And says, "Wake up, it's time to go to school." My mommy helps me put my uniform, It make me look so cool. Shoes, yes. Tie, yes. Daddy and mommy said, "God bless". Before I forget, ID Card. Yeaassss. Mommy packed my lunch. Yumm... Yumm... Yumm... Going to school is merry. Because I sing with my friends, "Humm... Humm... Humm..." Ooppss, the bus has come, So I ran in a hurry. Driver uncle said, "I'll wait, Please don't worry." I board my bus at seven,  Off it goes.. zooooom. We do our assembly, And then go to classroom. I love doing drawing, Ms. Lily is my favorite teacher. Friendly and always smiling, She calls me "Naughty little creature". We eat our lunch, And play in the afternoon. Sometimes I play hide and seek, Sometimes I play with balloons. We then study math, Two candy and two candy, makes it four. Then we study science, I love how tiger roar. Oooowww, it's time to go h

Life! Love! Chaos! Death! But...

Message: Our days are numbered And so is this love, But the blues, Like longing, They stay. Mother, Will I stop dying, Someday?                       - Mona ***************************** Response: Our days maybe numbered, But not the love. In the eternity of lifetime. It's all upon us, How we choose it to spread. The blues, They make us better, For whatever is coming next. Just take one day at a time, Savor every moment; Until death comes, When we just mock it on it's face, As it failed to make us miserable, For every single day we lived and loved.                                                       -Me ***************************** Story of the above lines is that I woke up today with some lines sent to me by a friend. I ended up responding to her on similar lines. The conversation was interesting, so just felt like sharing a small snippet of it here. Anyway, it's good to scribble down whatever is there in our mind. Remember the
