REFLECTIONS

Reading a Book of Value!

(Imperial Ambitions)

By Hala Elbanna

A pleasure beyond any other to
First come across the right book at the right time!

Turning the pages with total concern,
Reading past, present and
Getting a glimpse on a future expected …

With a focus on proliferation of nuclear,
Chemical and biological weapons.
If man’s call remained to be that of
Destruction, rather than construction
Greed rather than generosity
Selfishness rather than human welfare

There comes a Warning Sign to all Imperial Ambitions
To all who want to control and gain strategic power over others
Through granting themselves rights and denying others those same rights!

An ongoing call to support our world, our planet
A stand from all those who do care about others, besides themselves

The Earth is on the verge
Let us not watch it collapse in front of our eyes,
Let us preserve its balance
Our Earth needs to breathe justice
It’s a fair equation,
Or else watch a Collapse!

That can’t be repressed or erased from memory, thus history this time.

This book belongs to a man of THOUGHT and INSIGHT
A man of INTELLECT
And first of all to a man who has a HEART
A Chapeaux to NOAM CHOMSKY.
