Latters - An English Translation

This is an unofficial translation of one of the blogs written by the Syrian teenager "Tal al-Mallohi". She blogs in Arabic. She is now in Jail and I thought it may be a nice idea to translate some of her articles into English. This is a purely individual effort and she has no idea about it.
The Arabic blog is at: http://latterstal.blogspot.com

Sixth Message to the Humankind in This World

O my "Brother Human"! You are mavelous and creative. You fill my veins with innocent blood from which I get the ink for my pen to write you.

O my "Brother Human"! You are oppressed in the modern technological society. We have to know whether the technology will provide us with solutions at the same speed at which it creates the problems. We may be under the soil before we discover a solution to the radiation pollution. The example of Chernobyl is still alive in our minds.

The rapid increase in population growth; the tremendous growth of energy resources; the accumulation of waste produced by the industry; and the deliberate mass elimination of many types of forests and animals are some of the environmental problems that concern the human race. These problems become intertwined and complicated due to the conflicts caused by the unequal growth attained by different nations and by the value loss of principles of morality, justice and law in our world.

Therefore, my "Brother Human", you have to pay the price always....

My brother! the human well-being depends on the harmony that he achieve between themselves and nature. The fish die in the lakes. The bees are destroyed by the pesticides. The animal species disappear gradually. The smoke smelled by the children in the streets and the noise that prevents you from sleeping and causes you to lose your balance are all common pollution. Furthermore, starvations, the displaced people, the infectious diseases and the people who were expelled from their homes and lands are all problems that need urgent and close attention. If we don not do so, we will be destroying everything was constructed by humanity throughout history.

We thought, my brother, that we became masters of the universe. The fact is that we have lost the control over our destiny.

Hey masters of polluted industry! Spend some of your enormous profits on the safety measures in your deadly factories. Perhaps the percentage reaches the election majority obtained by presidents in the underdeveloped countries. It is an era of confusion! Even cows have gone mad, the sheep have become crazy, and the birds have got infected by the disease which caused them to be burnt and the migratory birds to be killed. So, what else has left?

Hey masters of deadly industry! Do you think that you have a tent over your heads to protect you from all of this?? Have you forgotten that you created a hall in the ozone layer and it is getting larger?

My warm condolences to all my brothers in humanity all over the world for what they have suffered due to the unnatural disasters.

(O my "Brother Human" I do not say "goodbye" since I am always with you.)

Fifth Message to the Humankind in This World

O my "Brother Human" who has a noble soul and character. I feel that whenever I read more about the world I become closer and more attached to you and my love to your humanity increases. I think that the interaction of cultures among themselves together with the exchange of ideas and opinions, even if apparently different sometimes, makes the whole world in my eyes without any borders that could stop me or any restrictions to my mobility. I feel that no one prevents the migration of my intellectuality to any place on Earth as it does not need a visa or an immigration document.

O my "Brother Human". Any human culture that leads to extremism, terrorism or moral dissolution is a barbarian culture and I will call it the "inhuman culture". This inhuman culture is the first nail in the coffin of humanity. O my "Brother Human", the home of the human culture is your supreme intellectuality. The more you expose your intellectuality to the diverse cultures, the closer you will be to your brother human.

I do not like the words of the poet Rudyard Kipling the "Oh, the East is East, and the West is West, and never the twain shall meet"! Instead I promote the union of the East and the West. The East is not east and the West is not west but they meet somewhere. As an example, with rational thought, two great souls from here and from there can agree with each other irrespective of the vast separation in time and space. The best eaxample for this is the great Persian poet Hafez Shirazi, whose  poetry was translated into German and other languages and Goethe the world-class writer and the lead poet of Germany, who called one of his poem collection the "West-Eastern Divan". Another example is the poet Rainer Maria Rilke who wrote his poetry in the eastern countries and about the East. Do not you think, my Brother Human, that a little bit of impartial, fair and neutral investigation about the history, the civilizations, and the emergence of beliefs and ideas is enough to reduce the racial fanaticism and the claims of credit to oneself especially with the fact that the human nature is identical in general structure and intrinsic attitudes.

(O my "Brother Human" I do not say "goodbye" since I am always with you.)

Second Message to the Humankind in This World

O my "Brother Human", wherever you are, you are my mate and the whisper
of my soul. I look at you with all love. I shake your hand with endless
sincerity. I kiss you like an innocent child. I kiss you like a tender
mother and a loving sister.

I am not old enough to read "Human Rights". But my basic instinct as
created by God tells me that I have the right to live without any
threat. I have the right to have a family that takes care of me. I have
the right to have a home to live in. I have the right to respire the
air. I have the right to eat. I have the right to have clothes. I have
the right to learn and have knowledge.

O my "Brother Human",we are always looking forward to the future: a
future in which women, men and children live in freedom; a future in
which there is plenty of jobs; a future in which there is plenty of hope
for a better tomorrow; a future in which there is plenty of freedom for
humankind.

(O my "Brother Human" I do not say "goodbye" since I am always with you.)

First Message to the Humankind in This World

(19 January 2009)

O my "Brother Human":
You are the soul-mate of all other humans. You outlive this universe.
Wherever you are, you are like me: you love what I love and hate what I
hate. I like to see you living in peace, safety and security. I like to
see you always with a smile filling the universe with love and the souls
with joy.

O my "Brother Human", where is the love culture that commanded to us by
God's laws?! Where is the culture of integration and solidarity between
our brothers in humanity?! Why are there who are unable to find food
here and there?? Why do the diseases spread and there is no cure for
it?! O my "Brother Human", why do the killing and destruction spread
here and there?? Why does the innocent die while the abuser lives?!! Why
does some people die from overeating and the others from starvation??!!

Hey you the "Wise of the World": I am sure that your hearts are not
deprived from compassion and love. You, and you alone, are able to
return the balance to this frightened and trembler universe.
Give us the reassurance and security so that you will immortal in our
hearts.

(O my "Brother Human" I do not say "goodbye" since I am always with you.)
