Santa Claus in Baghdad

As you know that Santa Claus is a very good guy, he gives gifts for the kids and the poor people… Anyway, after he finished his tour in Europe, Australia … etc, he went to Dubai.

He was talking to his deer saying " Am in Middle East now but I haven't been in Baghdad before… I think we have to go there this year? There're a lot of people there who need a smile and a gift for Christmas".

He asked his deer to take him to Iraq and especially to Baghdad; he spent three hours in the sky looking for a house with a Christmas tree (Natural not Artificial), then suddenly he stopped his cart and start shouting " I found one, I found one, I found a house with a Christmas tree", he looked around trying to figure out how he will get inside this house, he said " This house is strangely designed! I can't find a chimney to get inside the house", he looked around the house to find an open door or window he couldn't find any; because all doors and windows have bars to keep the house safe and protected.

Finally he found a whole in the window where the swam cooler is, he put the gifts near the tree and decided to leave when he heard someone was shouting " Thief, Thief " and it is just few seconds when the shooting start using all kind of weapons. Santa Claus felt scared and start running and jumping from house to other and he didn't know what happened, he thought that a war starts.

Few minuets later, Police and Army came; some one was telling them that he saw him putting an IED, other saying that he saw him wearing bomb belt and other saying that he was driving a bomb cart!!

Finally, a Police officer jump on Santa Claus and catch him, then the police and army start beating him, they took his cell phone and there were 400 $ that they took it from him too. And then they said "Well, it seems he is an old crazy guy and let's be kind with old people" so they decided to release him after taking everything from him.

Santa Claus back to the house that he landed on its roof and he couldn’t find his cart, he asked a little kid there " Do you know what happened to my cart?" , kid replied " They steal it" then Santa Claus said " What about the Deer?", the kid answered surprised " Which Deer you are talking about? They are only few donkeys and broken cart, I saw number of mobile vendors for flour taking it"

Santa Claus felt bad, so he decided to walk his way to home especially he has nothing now, he felt tired, so he stopped a bus and tell the driver that he doesn't have money, the driver said " Hey Man, no worries, the life still good" then few minuets of driving and IED blown up in street throw him away in other district where few men where standing, one of those men stopped Santa Claus asking him " Where are you from?" and poor Santa Claus starts telling them his story and they didn't believe him so they torturing him trying to find out if he's Shiatte or Sunni, he didn't know what they are talking about . They decided to cut his head when two of his deer show up with his cart and saved him.

Santa Claus felt so happy, he thought that he is safe now and the nightmare end but after few second of flying in the sky, the terrorists launch their mortars and one of these mortars hit his cart so he jump on one of his deer and runaway ……

Santa Claus finally made it to his home and he Thanks God for that but he decided to resign from his job after his adventure in Baghdad.

His Corpse Brought Happiness to Me

A lot of people who read the article ( Wish he’s dead) about this lady that her husband kidnapped, wondering “Did she find her husband?”

In just few days ago, I went to my home which I forced to leave it before months ago, and first thing come to my mind visiting this lady.

She dressed in black and with a sad smile she welcomed me, I asked her “ Did you find your husband?” she answer me with tears in her eyes:

“Yes, after long time of searching, I decided to go to Najaf (where Shiatte people bury their dead people) to look for him, and after few days of search, I found his grave. Terrorists killed him and throw his corpse in the river and there was a guy took his body out and bury him, because I think this is his job , looking for dead people in river then bury their bodies in Najaf , he’s doing that for humanity purposes only, I talked to this guy and he said” that he tried hard to contact those dead people families but some of them doesn’t have any contact details in their pockets so I just bury them and if I find their IDs I put their Name sign on their graves and pray for them every night”, I tried hard to give him money to what he did and he refused and said “ God will reward me “ !

Then she said “His corpse brought happiness to me” !

God Bless you!

Kid's Sorrows

Maybe he’s a kid like most kids in Iraq and maybe am sensitive more than normal towards kids.

I was in my way to work when I noticed a 10 years old kid pushing a cart full with gas; it was really cold that day. He was wearing a light coat, covering his head by a peace of tissue.

He touches my heart by this look of poorness and feeling of pain and inability to do that anymore. I asked brother to stop the car! I want to talk to this kid and see what kind of parents who leave a kid in these dangerous roads.

I have a brother turn to 11 years old in Jan. , I try hard to give him a warm bed and best cloths and food but sometimes I feel guilty because I can’t spend long time with him because am busy with work and a lot of things in life.

Why we bring life to those kids if we aren’t able to offer them the best life which any human deserve! I know it’s not logical what am saying but that’s the true, wish I can take all those kids from those careless parents and ask all people to stop bring suffer to this world.

I asked this kid why he is outside home in this cold weather, he replied “its cold everywhere and better to be outside home and get money than staying at home and suffer from hanger”
Big answer for a little kid, I said “And where’s your parents?” he replied with a cold smile” My father is asking me to do that to help him in covering the family expenses”

Then he asked me to buy gas or leave because he’s afraid to talk to strangers, I asked him again “Did you go to school?” He refused to answer and asked me to leave. I said “Am going to give you money weekly if you promised to stay at home safe, and if you show where do you live, am ready to go to your family and maybe help all your family”

He said “And are you going to help 16 kids, sick mom and crazy father?” I shocked when he said that he has 16 brothers and sisters!!

I said “God bless you and all those innocent kids, but please let me help you”, he said “Please leave!”

I kissed his cold cheek and put money in his pocket and left with tears in my eyes to what this kid and all his brother and sisters are suffering! I will pass this street everyday wishing to see him again and helped him.

There is no body to ask for help in that; only God, but wish all parents stop for moment and ask themselves one question “Am I ready to give the best life to this kid before bring life to him/her?”

God bless all those kids everywhere!
