Silent Exclamation Marks between Lines

We are in the second half of 2025!

But yesterday I was imagining achieving one of my dreams in the second half of 2023!

Why 2023?!

Because the time in my hometown has been frozen Since the 7th of October, 2023, and until now, I have been incapable of seeing the horizon line of the end!

But isn’t that enough?

Haven’t the criminals had enough from permitting bloodshed?

Weren’t the hearts of the humans wrung with pain about what has been going on?

Didn’t the bodies resting on plush leather chairs decide to denounce even a little, or are they still afraid of removal from their positions?

The answers for these questions are still empty; the only things that I have are my pen, question marks, and exclamation marks.

And I think the ink of the pen will run out, and the question marks and exclamation marks will be stealing glances from some of the people!

Maybe, but I hope not.

I don’t want to use exclamation marks for only critique.

I wanna use them when I take a picture of myself in the courtyard of the Al-Aqsa Mosque, when the mother of the prisoner is heralded with the glad tidings about her son’s release from captivity. When I am touching the Kaaba’s covering without being drained after crossing the limits between it and between the cities between my town. When I understand a new Quranic miracle while reading the Quran.

I wanna use them when I describe the beauty of my mom’s smile and when I am listening meticulously to my dad’s guffaw to create a musical theme of it and play it when life betrays me.

I wanna use them when I checkmate the king of my opponent when I am playing chess. when I fix a programmer error immediately when it appears in the code.

I am using it now because I am writing my diary in the same diaries notebook that I was using when I was a kid in the fifth grade in elementary school, but now I am writing in it as a writer!

I wanna use exclamation marks just with joy, delight, and tidings only.

Basmala.
