I am somewhere.
Where I sleep, I see the stars above me.
And I hear the horns of the ships crossing the river.

Ακόμα;
Ψηφίσατε Τσίπρα.
Λύσατε το οικονομικό.
Θέλετε να λύσετε και το μεταναστευτικό.
Και όποια άλλη φαεινή έχετε στο κεφάλι.
Αναρωτιέμαι.
Πότε θα το αυτοβουλώσετε;
Πότε θα σας πάρει η ντροπή από τα μάτια;
Οι υπόλοιποι είμαστε δημοκράτες.
Δεν θα σας το βουλώσουμε.
Please.
Κάντε το μόνοι σας.
Γλυτώστε μας από τη βλακεία σας.

Στο πεζούλι της Ιστορίας κάθισα
Έγραψα, έγραψα, έγραψα...
Και οι ανακαλύψεις απαιτούν κόπο.
Πνευματική υπερπροσπάθεια.
Άδειο κουρέλι το μυαλό.
Το σώμα άρρωστο.
Επιστρέφω στη θεραπεία του οικείου.
Της γλώσσας, του σπιτιού, του εδώ.
Ο ήλιος με ζεσταίνει.
Η ηρεμία με ταξιδεύει.
Δίνει χώρο στη στιγμή.
Την αίσθηση.
Είδα ένα όνειρο.
Ινδικό.
Ντελίριο.
Έξαψη και ηρεμία.
Τι ασυμβατότητα.
Θυμήθηκα.
Τον ποιητικό αναγνώστη.
Πόση ηρεμία.
Κοινές ώρες ηλιόλουστης ακινησίας.
Χαμογελαστά μέτωπα, μάτια πουλιά.
Οικεία αίσθηση επιστροφής.
Ξέγνοιαστη αλάνα παιδικής χαράς.
Μακρινές μνήμες.
Η ερώτηση "υπήρξε;" αναπόφευκτη.
Ο χρόνος εκπτύσσεται κι άλλο.
Μνήμες, πάθη πιο μακρινά,
ξεπιάνονται μετά από στρίμωγμα.
Άμεσο επακόλουθο μιας πλούσιας ζωής.
Διαδοχικοί πολιτισμοί,
καλύπτουν τον προηγούμενο.
Τα τραγούδια τους με περιμένουν να ξαποστάσω για να αναδυθούν.
Από το ιστορικό βάθος.
Το μνημειακό πλούτο.
Το ασίγαστο ταξίδι.
Στιβαροί στρατιώτες,
ασκητικοί βυζαντινοί,
άπιαστοι γλάροι,
εξωτική ανατολή.
Υπήρξατε;
Υπάρχετε;
Ή σας φαντάστηκα;
The outcome
Understanding the world makes me love it.
Understanding the origin of its cruelty makes me fair.
Understanding its problems makes me able to solve them.
Understanding the origin of its cruelty makes me fair.
Understanding its problems makes me able to solve them.
And exploring keeps me alive.
Correlating Islam with terrorism
The answer I was seeking:
The solution is a separation between religion and state.
West could do that. And did.
East can't.
...Secularism and the democratic rule of law are principles that Islamist reject.
Democratic elections put the laws of man before the laws of God, according to the Islamic State’s Sharia and is therefore apostasy, which is punishable by death. Obviously, not all Muslims reject secular government. This is especially true in the West where an overwhelming number of Muslims prefer secular government. But the number of Muslims throughout North Africa, the Middle East, and on into Pakistan and Afghanistan that believe Sharia law is the inspired word of God is well over 50 percent...

Understanding ISIS
My understanding:
Isis puts into force a socioeconomic system with territorial requirements as dictated by the earliest and most cruel Islamic core texts and traditional teachings which are disregarded or even unknown to the vast Muslim community. Isis regards not only non-Muslims, but also mainstream Muslims as apostates needed to be killed. Even arabic countries without the full range of Sharia into force are regarded as betrayors.
The most seriously informative and demanding article I've recently read.
...Muslims can say that slavery is not legitimate now, and that crucifixion is wrong at this historical juncture. Many say precisely this. But they cannot condemn slavery or crucifixion outright without contradicting the Koran and the example of the Prophet. “The only principled ground that the Islamic State’s opponents could take is to say that certain core texts and traditional teachings of Islam are no longer valid,” Bernard Haykel says. That really would be an act of apostasy.

Biology
In Syria it is civil war.
Is it civil war in Paris, too?
So, why should I compare them?
I have been disgusted by pollitically correct declarations lacking any common sense.
If we don't adjust our way of thinking, we are codemned to fail.
And this is not an opinion.
This is biology.
Wanted: a free Muslim's help
I cannot stop correlating Islam with terrorism.
If any in the world kills in the name of a religion, it is always Islam.
Why Islam?
Why only Islam?
I really need the help of a Muslim.
A Muslim.
Not an outsider who interpret Islam.
But not any Muslim, as well. Not a common Muslim.
A free Muslim.
A free Muslim who is first concerned with this correlation.
A concerned Muslim who respects reality. as well as his god/her God.
I want the explanation of the situation as seen through his/her eyes.
His/her free eyes.
Is there any?
Can it be there any?
Not biased trying to protect his religion?
With a clear view towards reality and religion?
I really need his/her help.

I don't know
if I'll ever have grandchildren,

I will have stories to tell,
I don't know
how they will end,

My Youth and its Perils From the Sea
As heard in the poem of life, Youth by Paolo Sorrentino.
Life, Youth, Death.
Life, Youth, Death, Life, Youth, Death.
Life, Youth, Death, Life, Youth, Death, Life, Youth, Death.
What a circle...
And I’m so happy to be alive
To have these people in my life

On the verge
I am on the verge.
Closer to edge.
Outside where I am.
Standing near lines.
Am I the one who defines?
My end and my start?
My fall and my up?
On the verge.
If you are on the verge of something or come to the verge of something, you are very close to experiencing it:on the verge of collapse/success/tears/death/disaster/war

Acrobats walking on limits
Unluckily, not just like you.
I drove us to fall.
Will you teach me?
I drove us to fall.
Will you teach me?
Cause I'm just like you,
I don't know what to do,
I'm searching pieces of truth.
Cause I'm just like you,
I am broken and untrue,
I don't know what to do.

But the Goddess will not
She holds his hand.
He is a brave man.
Besides, he does not need them.
Separating and punishing invented male gods...
The God Abandons Antony
When suddenly, at midnight, you hear
an invisible procession going by
with exquisite music, voices,
don’t mourn your luck that’s failing now,
work gone wrong, your plans
all proving deceptive—don’t mourn them uselessly.
As one long prepared, and graced with courage,
say goodbye to her, the Alexandria that is leaving.
Above all, don’t fool yourself, don’t say
it was a dream, your ears deceived you:
don’t degrade yourself with empty hopes like these.
As one long prepared, and graced with courage,
as is right for you who proved worthy of this kind of city,
go firmly to the window
and listen with deep emotion, but not
with the whining, the pleas of a coward;
listen—your final delectation—to the voices,
to the exquisite music of that strange procession,
and say goodbye to her, to the Alexandria you are losing.
- Constantine P. Cavafy (1911)
