YOU & ME
My friend Reem wrote this poem and asked me to post it on my blog for better understanding, and I wouldn’t say no.
Muslim is Me,
Christian is He, BUT
Brothers are We,
Equal should Be, WHY?!
In the name of Humanity we live,
Under the Sky, on Earth, and behind the Cliffs,
The Birth of us Adam & Eve gave,
From Water & Clay are just Ourselves,
Modest, Calm, Down-to-Earth is our Level,
Mark & Muhammad CAN Coexist,
In Both Civilizations that Persist,
On integration & Unity so this is our Benefit,
Dialogue, Cooperation, progress are an asset,
In a Society where Success & patience are our Habit,
"Peace, Happiness, Mercy & Love try to Spread",
"Oh No ! Don't kill any Creature,
Never Destroy a Church or Harm any Preacher,
Women, Babies, and Old Take Care,
Plants & Roses, You Don't Dare",
"Oh here is an Ant Don't Step"!
"A Thirsty Dog, Please give a Sip"!
That is OUR Prophet's Say,
This is OUR Islam Way,
Proud of them till Doomsday!!
Freedom & Respect are OUR Feature,
So How Come Mocking OUR TEACHER!! (Prophet Muhammad Peace Be Upon Him).

FANTASTIC!!!
Thank you very much Ghalia, forward this thanks to your the autor.
I am really happy to read that poème at the office, that makes me thinking positively, a sort of apetizer (aperitif) before the main dish (plat principal) with Mahmud Darwish this week end in Bruxelles...
Keep going on this way, Arabs, Muslims have to be proud, Ghalia, are you?

Ghalia, that is a great poem. Tell your friend Reem she did a fantastic job on that. I will be looking at your blog everyday just to read it for all the positive it has in it. Hope others do the same.

A sweet poem, and I agree--we can appreciate each other, despite we'll not always see eye-to eye.
Let's judge others by the same standard we judge ourselves...that's the basis for common understanding.

Thanks Ghalia for this post. You are advancing some great, positive ideas on this blog that I am sure will make an impact. And if you get any nasty "hate mail" from people who disagree, be proud. When people try to discredit your ideas or actions, that's when you know you're doing something valuable.

Poetry is a powerful way to communicate the feelings that normal words just can't convey. It would be good if many more poems and songs were written to insist on tolerence and compassion.
There are thousands of recognized languages in the world, tens of thousands of religions and perhaps hundreds of thousands of identifiable cultures. It would take a very brave soul indeed to claim that their personal combination is the one true way. History, however, would suggest that it is not a particularly useful form of bravery.
In a world where communication is so very hard, poetry is universally heard and speaks at a much deeper level inside than prejudice. If for no other reason than that, keep writing.
