And Yet We Hope.

At the end it all fades away.
A bazaar of opportunities and reality-defying dreams,
Scenarios are interwoven and the resulting mess is ideal.
Dismantled by the apocalyptic announcement:

Bleeeeep.

A number that became a name.
A scan that became a story.
A something that became someone:

Bleeeeep.

Perseverance and resolution,
Key indgredients in this poisonous meal.
Scriptures provide recipes for the Hungry,
But a few choose to sleep on an empty stomach:
Bleeeeep.

Millions of years of refinement.
The fish became a monkey.
The monkey became a caveman.
The caveman became a gentleman.
The gentleman wrote a book and became immortal.
The immortal author died:

Bleeeeep.

At the end,
It all fades away.

but clearly what you're saying is that things don't fade away; they just evolve into something else. i enjoyed it all the same :) AHA

this genuinely scares me, and i've ridden iraqi and syrian funfair rides.

the 'bleeps' really drew me back to hospitals, which is probably why i hate the frequency of beeps in this post, and i hope all is well with you.

our lives are like hospitals, aren't they? everyday new people arrive and some who've been around for a while depart, all the while things unfold with a sense of inevitability and urgency.

on a less esoteric note, ramathan kareem.. how are the festivities where you are? and sorry about the unannounced change of URL..

well if life is like hospitals, then thats a pretty happy thought, as one overwhelming feeling always suffocating all hospitals is Hope. :)

aah as for the inevitability and urgency, i seem to always be fighting against that, its perhaps inevitable we all have to start unfolding our life.

and Eid Saeed on a very late festive note :D i realise you have more freedom when you celebrate eid with less people. The more people there is, the more people you have to kiss and wish them beautiful futures and other insincere phrases. :D
