Bullet proof So here it goes… It’s just you and me …in an empty street .. You and me .. here we finally meet .. No trench ..no guards..no concrete walls .. Look around..there’s no glass shattered on the ground .. Come close..put your rifle aside.. I don’t wanna run this time .. Now I don’t want to hide .. Hey you..you’re that sniper on the roof.. Take your best shot ..I’m your aim Lay your red dot on my grooves.. I am calm..you can not cause me harm.. I’m your solid bullet proof.. I’m not afraid ….feeling safe .. Acting like a bald ..a brave .. Standing tall ..face to face .. Free at last ..I own this place .. It’s not home .. Our frieds may disagree .. And there’s a chance we’re alone But it’s time to reject.. To point out what is wrong .. It’s the time to stand out .. face the crowd ..and being strong .. shoot my car..shoot my soul shoot my body I won’t fall.. got the force ..I got control .. for that I’m in love with a man.. worths to do all I can .. worths to hang in till the end.. to fake a smile and pretend .. fake the fact I’m falling down bleeding since you left this town waiting for your coming back .. so I’ll be tough ..I’ll hold on if not with you then I ‘d rather be alone yes I ‘d rather be alone so hey you ..all you snipers on the roof take your aim .. I’m your aim .. I’m your solid bullet proof . Zainab Ali baghdad - Iraq |

Welcome to Passions, please check your email for a group welcome from us all here. I can't imagine living in this fear each day, and although you wrote it well, I wish you didn't have to write it at all. |

First of all, welcome to PiP! While I love the realism and imagery of this piece, it does bring to the forefront of one's mind that exact realism. That we are a world at war, and that war is very real, even though from a distance it may seem like it's not happening. We should all keep this war and those who fight in it in our hearts and minds, and begin working harder than we ever have before to stop it. Goddess grant me the serenity to accept the things that I cannot change, the courage to change the things I can and the wisdom to know the difference. |

thanx midnitesun , martinia , rachel i appreciate all your comments , as for Rachel i'm glad you understood the 2 aspects of the poem the realism and the imagination at the same time , the realism of war i'm living with and the imaging my own street being peaceful at last like the war is over and it's possible to be with the one I love and being a bullet proof ofcoarse all of that didn't happen , might never will . |

As-Salamu Alaikum, Zainab. You have poignantly captured the strength required to live under such daily conditions. My wish is that one day soon, you and your countrymen and women may walk in peace, in'shallah. Welcome to Passions.
