WHEN I'M GONE!

They say love comes and goes, but ours will stay within us eternally,
Why are you angry now? When I'm gone,
Can you stop being mad at everything around you?
Why are you weeping now? When I have disappeared,
Can you wipe that tear off your cheek?
Why are you bored? When I'm gone,
Can you walking with head up?

We were two gorgeous little doves with flamboyant same colours, but from different mothers,
We lived a happy and fabulous life together,
We flew distant, wonderful journeys, and always came back later together,
We danced according to our love tunes, however, the nature couldn't hold up this happiness anymore,
Days ago, the dove hunter catapulted stones to us, as we flew together as always,
We flew to different directions,

I lost you, you lost me, we lost ourselves,
I called you several times, looking for you as I cried, you didn't answer,
Now look! I'm gone, you are gone, we are gone,
I feel both your absence and presence, but how can this be possible? Is it a mystery?
Wherever you are now, I tell you this, real love doesn't come and go, we are born with it,
It only stays in me, in you and in us until…maybe forever.

RELIGIOUS CONFUSION

Religion is one of the oldest practices in human history. It includes a common set of elements, which may be believed or practiced differently, which are the existence of ceremonial occasions, the divine power, sacred things and places, faith, supernatural being or beings etc. The existence of different geographic areas, genetic differences between races of humankind, distinctive languages and ethnic groups lead to different cultures in which religion is born.             Human beings have been wondering in the quest for the meaning of their lives. We have encountered ourselves immersed in deep pools of unanswerable questions about our existence. Where did we come from? Who created us and everything around us? And someone could answer," the supernatural beings". But then, who created the supernatural beings as we also were created? That is where things start getting complicated and confusion is born.    ...
