Letters to the Editor [Archives:2000/03/Letters to the Editor]

Please, Wonderful Moon
Oh! How much you are beautiful, shinning moon.
In this wonderful night
Do you know him, moon?
Do you know who I love?
Why not? He is my lover.
And loves madly just like me.
lovers alone are your friends.
So will you look for my lover?
He is so close and so far away.
Find him and give him this kiss
Tell him that I will never forget him
and forever wait for him.
Your beauty reminds me of my lover
I miss him much, his smile, his deep looks,
and wonderful eyes.
But oh, for the touch of his vanished hand
Please, tell him I love him and long to see him again.

Civilization of Yemen
Yemen used to be the most famous land in the south Arabian region. It is an ancient civilization whose greatest virtues are austerity, fairness, contentment and forgiveness. These qualities characterize the Yemenis who are happy and prosperous. They enjoy the blessings of God who is gracious and doesn’t punish us for the small human faults or weaknesses. Once upon a time, Yemen had reached its zenith in civilization due to the hardworking people and their power to struggle. The tale of their bravery is mentioned in the Holy Qura’an and it gives us the message and a glorious aura or picture about them as well as about their achievements, talents, their natural splendor and their ingenuity. They worked hard to utilize the natural resources to build Yemen into one of the strongest countries. Is it not a symbol of their power without which they wouldn’t have completed that huge dam called “Ma’areb Dam” and have streams water everywhere in Yemen and make it paradise as stated in the Holy Qura’an?
There are two gardens; one to the right and the other to the left. “The sustenance is provided by your Lord, and be grateful to Him: a territory fair and happy and a lord oft-forgiving.”

Independent Thinking
Nowadays most of countries in the world talk about independence. But if any one asks us about the meaning of this word, Easily we answer him that it means our opinion should be justice, in other words, you should criticize whoever does bad action even if he is your brother. In return you should hail whoever does good action even if he is your enemy.
I’m as a reader of YT newspaper, every issue I discover that I have new lesson on independent thinking.
Let me show you two examples. 1st, when YT did a seminar a month ago entitled “Hand in Hand with our president”. Without any doubt the aim of this seminar was hailing last good actions that President did.
2nd after two issues Mr. Walid criticize what happened in Habab area and said his opinion clearly. In my view this is the right track to independent thinking. So many thanks to Mr. Walid and all staffs and our independent school YT. And behalf my self and all reader of YT . We tell you Mr. Walid and all staffs go ahead and we all beside you.
