My dear Readers,
I remember well, that, when the conflict in Syria began around 2011, I got very disturbed. It was unbearable to see in the news how the people of Syria were suffering and dying, and Syria literally burning.
I share a poem I wrote on Syria in the year 2015. The caption of the poem is: Lines on Syria. At that time, I had no idea, that, in the coming years, my beloved second home – the most peaceful and peace-loving Dubai (UAE) would get hit and affected by war for no fault!
I want to restate that UAE’s leadership is superb. The leaders are loved by all the people (no matter to which country or creed or religion they belong to) who are residing in UAE.
I pray, day and night for UAE.
I pray, day and night for universal harmony.
