I am proud to share my personal experiences while providing a glimpse of concealed true stories to the world. Let's learn to fight against oppression, learn to love ourselves so we can learn to love everyone around us and get to know our next door neighbor(s) so as to find the similarities within one another. It may be that in observing these subjects we can begin to comprehend a world fighting for freedom and peace of mind. Let's begin to plant hope together; is it not time to do so? We have dreamed for generations to end cruelty and shed love instead of blood so let's hold hands to defend against evil.About the Author: Ahlam Khadra was born in Palestine and raised in the United States. She is a freestyle poet and graduate of California State University, Fresno with an MA in English Literature. She has a passion for sharing her stories with the world. Her poems reflect upon love, abuse and war -- issues that affect us all. She is a motivated teacher who believes that, one day, she will be able to make a difference in the world by encouraging her students to help make a better future for us all. Review: "A unique & much needed voice amidst the social climate of today. The openness the author offers up is heartwarming as she allows the reader to voyage with her through storm and darkness, seeking her way out of turbulent personal relationships and the turmoil her native land suffers through collectively. The underbelly of war is exposed in a way that is not only eye-opening but staggering in its exposure. This special collection of poetry will leave readers wanting more." Shauna Christensen
