Everyday in the jungle of humanity a child wakes up in the morning and he wonders, why to create all the fuss of civilization when a lion and a deer can never be together. With this awkward thought he starts walking the streets of Gaza, Palestine where silence of the dead moans over the ruthless humanity. His patience starts to stumble as he walks past a dead body, looking closely he finds out that he was his classmate. Innocence prevails on the beloved creation of God and he asks his friend " are you sick ahmed". The silence breaks down into words of blame and a voice beats along his heart " was I too mischievous for the soldiers of peace". The child looks around and starts complaining about the matter thinking that soon the peacekeeper will come and punish the soldiers. Echoes of his agony and anger are heard all over the playground ( Gaza) but unfortunately the peacekeeper is living far far away in the sound proof comfort of castles built by the very blood and bones of hundreds and thousands of Ahmeds. Comforting his friend the child lies down besides ahmed and put his head on his chest. God watching the whole Play from above smiles and applauds the wonderful act. The curtain of life is closed, the child is taken away from the jungle of humanity and the life goes on.....
C'est la vie ,such is life.Peace in Palestine seems beyond the bounds of possibility, esp now when Netanyahu's re-elected
