Live Interview

How does it feels?

I am OK

But He is your father, how does it feels?

You look at me, searching for tears

I look you in the eyes and i respond

I can not answer your question

Your camera will malfunction

Your mic loose sound

How does it feels?

I feel cheated

Cheated of his dream of freedom

Cheated..

Former chief of  secret services running for president in Egypt

Cheated..

Protesters was beaten on the streets after a new government in Tunisia

Cheated..

One man election, former man government in Yaman

Cheated..

France making an empty promises of savior in Syria

Cheated..

petrol more valuable than blood in Bahrain

Drawn out their screams with the war of an engine

We’re trying to help you

We’ll send thirty people of intervention

Silence..

Babies crying..

Mothers weeping..

Sirenes blaring..

Waves in the morning

Silence..

Was that a sounds of bullet entering a Bahraini’s heart?

Or a sniper’s bullet aimed at a Syrian’s head?

Silence..

Are thoose children of Gaza looking at the sky waiting for the bombs?

I hear nothing but silence

Alone in a room, thousands of miles away

I miss you by a minute Dad

I’ve called but the officers had cut the line

It would be the first time i talked to you in months

It might be the last time i hear your voice

You want to know how i feel?

I feel angry..

Angry at a government that preach freedom and democracy then support authoritarian regimes to feed their greed

Angry at the government who say they condemned violation but refuse to do anything to stop that from happening

And No..

You will not see me cry for my Father

A man who fears not death

Because in death he finds freedom

A man who fears not tyranny

Because the can break his body but not his soul

I cry not for my father for he put a smile on my face

The tears you see in my eyes are for you

Sorry Mama we lost the connection
