The Picture that Broke My Heart...

-



Can you hold your tears... look closer for you might see all the anguish in this child's cry...


Look closer for you might see his neck streched, his vocal chords strained too tired too scared to look at his amputated arm...


One hand trying to hug his dad searching for comfort from all this pain... no more tears left to shed...


I can almost hear his choked weeping... Listen, you can almost hear his cry...


His father's eyes sadness, confusion and despair locked inside... You can almost read his eyes: "I wish I could do something my son but I can't... I'll just hold your face to the other side so you won't see what's left of your arm, don't look for you might be scared of all the bleeding my little one... I'll stay beside you until you forget you had too hands... I know you wanted to hug me with both arms, with all your strength but you can't... Patience.... shhhhh patience... "


Can you see the anguish in his eyes... I ASK YOU AGAIN... Can you hold your Tears...


Can you tell him its WRONG to blow yourself up in a crowd... Just sit back and watch those who did this to your child?


Frankly I CAN'T... I wish I could but I simply can't...

It's ironic how you can see another child crying the same way because his parents won't buy him Play Station Three.

Hi Robin,
Who would have thought there was so much suffering... kids kidnapped from their homes butchered abused and the strongest enrolled to become fighters for the resistance... Too many unheard tragedies...

These are the pictures that tell the story of tearing apart a landmark in this country's heritage. If you want to torture a man who has great passion for the history of Amman, all you have to do is take him to stroll down Jabal Amman and walk around the School that was built in 1947, the "Islamic Scientific College" It's wall once stood tall all around the buildings that constituted the architectural stamp of a different era. Jordan is still young, a country that is less than a hundred years, so when you talk about buildings that are 60 Years old. The first international football field , is no longer there, instead you will find the new buildings in this picture. Some of the most influential people in this country studied behind those thick walls. Including King Hussein, Ministers, Princes, Politicians, Opposition figures and many more. The school's management seems to have a different architectural opinion!! So they started renovating, demolishing, removing struc...

Can't stop thinking about your Grave...

Every smile leads to you, every poster, every corner... All the lonely drives I take to work and back home... I think of you... and all the pain just rushes back to strain my throat... as if you just left yesterday... Every prayer, when I sit... I just remember how you taught me what to say... I remember how you pushed for a better me... Snowy nights and morning prayers in a distant mosque come flashing back... Every school reminds me how you used to sneak out of line 10 minutes before the bill rings just to pick me up... so I won't wait forever in line... Every apartment that is for sale, every brother I see with another, every gym, every cigarette, every cup of coffee, every PC game... I cannot forget... Every book I see...I see your face... At every car that looks like yours... I almost crumble into tears... Every time I get sick, reminds me of all the long nights you spent with me in a cold distant hospital, every time I get sick I remember how you sacrificed "kids play...
