Evil Earth - Poetry Writing

Has it just taken you away? 
You're coming back, nay? 

Nothing new at all, 
and I really want to call. 

Where the hell are you? 
I'm starting to miss you. 

More than 100 is the death toll, 
and I'm obsessing like an internet troll. 

While the search and recue have concluded, 
nobody cares but me since I'm not deluded.

Abdullah Khader Drawing

Image
  drawn by me Abdullah Khader is an elderly Palestinian man from Beit Hanina, Occupied East Jerusalem, Palestine. The Israeli Supreme Court has allowed his house to be demolished in order for a new house to be built for Jewish settlers.  The decision made by the Israeli Supreme Court has caused Abdullah Khader to suffer from a stroke, which paralysed him. Khader has lived in this house since he was a kid. His son and grandchildren grew up in the same house too.  In a video which can be found on @trtworld and @eye.on.palestine via Instagram, Abdullah Khader was shown sitting in his car while watching his house being demolished. When asked if he has a message for the world, he responded with, "We are steadfast. This is our land. It's our life."

Q&A Essay: Ugur Gallenkus

Image
    Background Information   Ugur Gallenkus is a Turkish digital artist known for his work where he juxtaposes two very different photographs and finalises them as one picture.

The book contains his finalised photographs, quotes and statistics. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------   I discovered the work of Ugur Gallenkus, a Turkish digital artist, around March or April of 2019.  I was 15 years old and still in high school. At that time, I was opening my eyes to many of the issues happening around the world, such as the civil war in Syria (and the subsequent refugee crisis), th...

Reflections and Observations

 WARNING: MY OPINION MAY OFFEND SOME PEOPLE. WHETHER YOU CHOSE TO READ OR NOT - IT'S YOUR CHOICE.       I have no idea how to exactly begin this post. A lot has happened in the past one month. There are too many thoughts in my head that I personally find worth sharing over here. These are, however, just opinions. I will admit and put forward the fact that I don't have the answers to everything.  CASE NUMBER ONE:      In July, after enduring roughly three months of the COVID-19 lockdown and graduating high school at home, a small part of me missed the everyday face-to-face interactions I had before COVID-19. This was completely understandable, but was quite out-of-character for me due to my introverted nature. Thus, I decided to create an Instagram account for myself. I used to have Instagram from 2015 to April 2018. I decided to leave because I lost interest at some point and was caught up in other things.      After my two yea...
