Jeningrad

killing all over the place,
the general atmosphere over here like a funeral;
being happy over here
doesn't belong to happiness;
it's from the sickness of being bored of sadness;
our reason for happiness
usually relates to anger...hate of fate.and is affected by storms of revenge,
which take over the whole place
and squeeze people's souls;
that's what we live on
all of the time.

when the intifada started every one used to feel sad when some was killed;
but now talking about the latest news,
which people enjoy speaking about all the time,
is about names related to death,
as if death had many faces and names
and different tastes during the year;
that's what we are breathing
every second.
