The Absurdity of Hope سخافه الامل

"Obama will say something honest about this government of ours."

counting the gap

My television plays Israeli lies

قهوة فنجان

in a city full of people

Drop

The way people treat each other is the most fucking bizarre thing.

كراسة جديدة مالهاش تاريخ A new notebook has no history

تكلم هراري القاهرة Harare calls Cairo

انا مش بشوف كويس مؤخراً lately i haven't been seeing too good

الرئيس اللي عنده 80 سنة له سؤال اخيراً The 80 year old President finally has a question.

اللي كان ممكن يقوله ادم what adam might have said

"what's all this bollocks?"

زي سكر تحت عسل like sugar under honey

"I need my mask."
