Kindred, and brought together
By the breath of life
Circling forever
Unless there is a strife
The conflict will come out
Whenever there is doubt
That the unifying life force
Is not the indorse
That we cannot break
That we have to intake
In our daily deeds
To respect all the breeds
Unified with us and kindred
Together we are blended
With life forces that flow
In and through us to grow
Trees, rocks and blowing winds
Life cycle never ends
The flowers of the plants
An insect pollinates
If altered by the man
Fruits will not come again
For human breed to feed
And satisfy a need
This is a simple truth
To grind by mind and mouth
By principles you must live
Intelligence is your love
For life as a web
For every strand in it
And for every bit
A human or a cub

ABOUT THE POET ~
I am a female poet, and a writer in Arabic and English. I am also an independent environmental awareness specialist and activist since 1992 when I assisted Dr. Mohammad Khaowli who was the chairman of Geology department in the American University of Beirut to collect signatures for the petition that was submitted to the UN so that the first UN Conference on Environment and Development (UNCED) could be held between 3 June and 14 June 1992 in Rio.., Fourth of January, 1957 I was born in Quarnayel, Lebanon. Being an only daughter among three sons, gave my whole life an aromatic taste., I got a master degree in political science from the American University of Beirut. Mahatma Gandhi is the only politician I follow and respect. Gamal Abd Nasir is the only Arab leader I admire., Rabindranath Tagore is my spiritual master. His poetry, writings, music, and universal thought is a real fountain for my spiritual uplifting., Chief Seattle’s “Message To the Modern World” broadened my views and deepened my interrelationships with Mother Nature and the GREAT SPIRIT., John Lennon is my daily friend. I recognize his song “Imagine” as my national anthem., I am a fan of Yoko Ono; I appreciate what she gave to the “whole world” through her love to John., I believe that the cosmic law is the only law that any creature must follow in order to understand the simple truth of life and death: that is another form of existence.
