It was easier to fall in love when people were destitute.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

– El Habib Louai<\/address>\n

Faith in God, help of family,
\nThey had a little home,
\nThen they had their family,
\nA world of their own.
\nHaving nothing, anything
\nIn its own way was good,
\nEverything was possibly…
\nEverybody could!!!<\/p>\n

Faith in God is lesser now,
\nFamily don’t want to know
\nThe world is a changed place
\nFrom those days, years ago.
\nWe have all, afraid to lose it,
\nWill not chance a family… yet…
\nIn case things change, we lose, cant cope…
\nThe truth of life we all forget.<\/p>\n

On death you have all that matters,
\nWhen your coffins carried, grave is dug,
\nAll that matters is each other,
\nAll we really need is a kiss, a hug.
\nThe western life and western love,
\nIs not like the love of the past,
\nBut built on lust, not respect
\nThat is why it does not last.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
