am I not grateful, to a life I’ve felt so painful. I’m driven through every demolished land, with my will and by my name I’ll stand, what names you have don’t count it’s sad! What dreams you’ve had, go sleep you’ll have. Algeria’s history has always struck me to the core, for It’s my home and I’m not one to boast or think about what could’ve been, I’m blessed and my heart is beating in my chest because better men were once alive and fortunate enough to win the war, at nights where the cold was tearing the spirit out of souls, they had the eyes of ambition for their country was at stake and god was right there to stand by them, they were destined to die in battle, but we were also destined to come after them, so we must break out of this slumberous shell to strive for what actually matters, and take that wake up call for what it’s worth and flourish, to make up and actually cherish what our ancestors made of utmost importance. So every 1st November I celebrate, I say ya rbi er7am chohahda2na, and they can honor us even in their deaths for the biggest of victories is god’s heaven, in which they can bask happily ever after in their ultimate glory.
