Someone did die from that event,
It just wasn’t me.
Having survived, now, I can look down and back
On the finite moment and see the reality.
You hoped I died, and you, and you, and you as well hope I died,
But this is bigger than me,
However, now, I realize it’s as big as I make it.
I decide.

Not what you think,
New minds aren’t born from the womb,
They’re born from the death of old minds.
That’s what died.
Someone did die from that event,
It just wasn’t me...

I hope this becomes one of the venues for local Las Vegas Muslims to display their creative works. Share your art, poetry, photography, performances, writings, recitations, a software code you have created and other interesting and creative works with the whole community. Just send an email to CC@lvmuslim.com with any necessary attachments and your work will be displayed in the "Creative Corner" blog section of LVMuslim.com. Make sure to include your full name and the length of time you have lived in Las Vegas.

I would encourage the local youth to start contributing to this section on a regular basis. I know many of you have your works displayed on your own blogs and photo sites, I would encourage you to start sharing them on this blog as well. A later post will discuss the criteria for submissions.
