 Oh please don't mistake me for one of those girls who always has her bed made, or her make up on, or her schedule set.
Yes, please don't mistake me for one of those girls who always has her act together.
Because I'm not one of those girls.
In fact, lately, my mind has been a cluttered place.  Jumbled, if you know what I mean.  And when it gets that way, I know that I have to get out...
And the Moroccan Atlas Mountains are just the ticket to peace of mind.

Why Must We Not Cross the Line?

M._CHTAINI

The donkey politician who called my God a monkey has crossed the Line! / For the last 500 years, monsters like him controlled our lives’ destiny and design,
A lot of abuses since the Inquisition to keep us and the Have-Nots behind; / The Donkey, Jones, Graham, Gingrich, Palin, Keller are a real bad sign. / They deny that Church, Synagogue, Temple and Mosque are all divine. /  Why must We not cross the line?

Mohamed Choukri's books rank among the classics of modern world literature. The Moroccan author would have been 75 this month, but there is little to celebrate: all over the world, almost all his books are out of print. Morocco has failed to preserve the legacy of one of its best-known literary figures.
