From Afghan LORD
Today, early morning when I opened the news pages in Internet, I red “Obama became the next president of USA” I became excited and suddenly stood and shouted. I couldn’t control myself and I said “Greeting Obama! Oh great man in which the dream of Martin Luther King became true now. The people who were close to me they laughed at me but I couldn’t control myself, while I was shedding tears I came out from the net café. When I arrived home I wept full but tears from happiness. However I don’t believe to pray but I was praying for him to win, this was my hope and today I am the witness that my hope turned to real.
Obama is the one who wants to change. He turned the dreams of millions of people to reality, millions of people who were hoping fall of the walls. Now, he is the winner and turned to a hero of his nation and people in his country. He is the one who once there was a great man in the US history who told to his people:
‘I have a dream, I say to you today, my friends, so even though we face the difficulties of today and tomorrow, I still have a dream. It is a dream deeply rooted in the American dream.
I have a dream that one day this nation will rise up and live out the true meaning of its creed: "We hold these truths to be self-evident: that all men are created equal."
I have a dream that one day on the red hills of Georgia the sons of former slaves and the sons of former slave owners will be able to sit down together at the table of brotherhood.
I have a dream that one day even the state of Mississippi, a state sweltering with the heat of injustice, sweltering with the heat of oppression, will be transformed into an oasis of freedom and justice.
I have a dream that my four little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin but by the content of their character.”
But today there is another great man appeared who can follow his way and turns his dream to reality. Today, there is another great man appeared in the 21 century, from the same people who tells loudly to his people: “Things are fine just the way they are. Take a look around, our world needs a change, you can be that change.”
His appearance was with encouraging people and giving hopes to those people who were hopelessly living not for a single moment but hundreds of years. He appeared to assure his people that “Things are fine”, what a beautiful motto.
I write these words, while the tears falling down from my eyes. I shed tears for the happiness of those people who are happy today in the US, for the people who were dreaming to become the winner, for the people who were fighting against injustice, discrimination and civil rights. Tonight, what a fabulous night would be for them. I wish I was there, I wish I was one those people who shed tears of happiness and victory today.
You know, from what pain I suffer in this corner of the world? Only God knows from my heart. Everyday when I wake up, my moments starts with tension, an explosion in the city or suicide attack, all things thing along, remove security from me. Everyday I have to go out but when I go out, you know I am completely unsure, to come back safely.
You know, I haven’t seen my mother for months and she is waiting for months to see me and my hope is to meet my mother and leave myself among her arms and shed tears fully. But you know why I can’t reach her? Because in 150 kilo meters long the distance between me and my mother, everyday we hear that Taliban beheaded people, took them with themselves or killed them on the road. But I want to see my mother.
