Artist's Comments

Ignorance is bliss
And you seem to like being like this
So you take pride in not knowing
Too caught up in this ugliness you're too blinded to realize that you're not growing

So I slap you in the face with my words
And you call me a hater
But I'm no hater
I just know where the truth is
I know what the truth is
And the truth is you don't know who you are
You don't know who you've become
They mold you into what they want you to be according to the season
But guess what honey?
You ain't in this season
In fact, you'll never be in
Coz you got the wrong faith
The wrong skin
The wrong nose
They got you thinking that the negative is positive
And the positive is a downbeat

All I gotta give are these tears
But just coz I'm crying doesn't mean I'm the victim
I cry for what you continue to deny
You see I refuse to sail through life aimless with no goal
So I let out my caged words
And off they fly to places where people have forgotten how to aspire
How beautiful it is to know that simple words can inspire
How easily they can convert haters into lovers



**Inspired by the UAE's current situation regarding National Identity among Locals.. Now only those who are awake will understand why I feel that National Identity in the UAE is under great danger and why such issue is so close to my heart..

And I shall say no more.. The rest is up to you guys.. The mic is in ur hands**


P.S. sorry for the watermark.. but I really don't want people using this without permission coz this photo means a lot to me.. Thanks for understanding


Peace out

2 mistakes: "And the truth is you don't know who are "

and
"And off they fly to places were people have forgotten how to aspire "

If I could I would fav it

then fav it again

and again:w00t:

this poem went beyond the emotional border, it showed deep thoughts that I feel all the time..but didn't know how to translate it into words

the picture was shown in its full potential, the picture looked more beautiful after I read the poem than before=)

a tip:more contrast would've made the picture more dramatic
:iconbenet:
Lovely poem, but I think it is better to use "because" instead of coz. The picture is nice too, looks like a painting.

As for National Identity...that is complex. With globalization, identity became blurry and more with migration/immigration. Fact is, where is my home, and who am I is very delicate subject and are only true to the individual and not the community, since we are think, feel, see thinks differently.

I would like to ask you, what do you consider to be the Emarati identity? Is there a list of characteristics that makes someone this and that? Is it a state of mind? a feeling?
:icondelyteful:
Thanks so much for ur support hun.. and ill take that tip into consideraiton ;)

Thanks again hun

First of all that u so much for ur input.. and Secondly, thank u for takin this a step further with ur questions..

There's not doubt that National Identity is a very complex and sensitive issue.. to me being an Emarati is about how far u would go to make this country a better place.. how devoted u are to this country.. how are u giving back to this country.. of course, dress, language and culture all play a major role in shaping an Emarati.. but it's also a lot deeper than just that.. so I guess yah, it is a feeling.. a feeling of deep devotion, loyalty and contribution..

The problem is i think we lost sense of who we really were and who we are today.. we've become aimless and just living for the sake of living.. not all of course.. im speaking generally.. there are still those few left who are developing themselves and bettering themselves in order to serve this country in any way possible..

Hope this answers ur question.. and thanks again for your wonderful input.. much appreciated :D

Good Idea :clap:

I Like it
:iconbenet:
Yep, true..but that is happening everywhere..

Now the only valuable thing is money and the aim is to live well or for those who don't have it, is to make it to the next day without hunger.
