    The poet asked the famous painter. Hey Salvador Dali, can you paint me the picture of happiness?

    Salvador Dali couldn't paint it but I found the picture of happiness today. I am getting old yeah but I truly shed tears. A Kurdish girl. Displaced by ISIS. Escaped from Syria to Turkey.

    A $10 worth of shoe creates a smile worth of one billion dollars.

    Being Kurdish in this world means pain, means being oppressed for ages, means being murdered.

    Yes my friends, this is the picture of happiness.

    They look too big.

    That's going to turn into a picture of sadness when she tries them on.

    I can't imagine. If you're interested, take a quick look at the fate of the "original' Americans aka: Indians. They did not fare well.

    The real face of War is something most people don't ever want to see which makes the rhetoric we heard last night meaningless. Sadly, there are idiots that buy into that under the guise of patriotism. Your people are at war with Turkey who is an American Ally. My people were conquered 4 centuries ago. It didn't work out all that well for us.
