Stockholm Internet Forum 2012: A Diverse place with a lot to learn
Stockholm Internet forum is the place to be. I’m very happy to have been part of this diverse gathering and to have met all the interesting people that were part of this conference.

The Arab Spring
This rise and fall
Through winter and fall
They called it spring

روحنا وجينا

The love, the promises were all a disguise
Today was the day she learned how to despise
Never before had she had her heart broken
She wa Killed
This picture in my hand
I feel is trying 2 demand
My attention to go towards the land
Behind the dark house
Where the girl with the green blouse
And her wooden grey mouse
What do you do When
What do you do when you risk everything?
Looking out the window waiting for what life might bring
All this time you spent your life thinking you were a king
Having a relationship … only to find out it was a fling
What do you do when the one turns out to be no one?
When a flower turns out to be a gun
