Mokhtar
Mokhtar
Who is he?
He is fearful, but determined. He suffers but is happy.
Brother of a legend lost in deaths embrace.
He loves all that encompasses change.
Be it God’s religion that turns him into a good man.
Or a place where he finds all that there is within himself.
He always strives to be the best him he possibly can be.
It is he who fears losing loved ones.
It is he who feels nothing but emptiness in recognition from others.
It is he who fears unoriginality, to be someone who he isn't.
Mokhtar is the man who wants to see it all.
He yearns for what he doesn't know.
He wants to feel the sun's kiss of Arabia's desserts. He wants to reclaim the home of his ancestors in ancient Palestine.
He wants to die peacefully in prostration in God's house.
Resident of a nation Young and Great in might, currently being torn apart by ignorance and hate. Such is the case of his United States.
Mokhtar, “he who is chosen”.
For what, he does not know yet.
That's what he seeks to discover as he writes.
He writes to find out “Who am I?”
Well I write and say
Mokhtar!
That is who I AM!
He who is chosen
To wield the pen!
