'The difference between you and me
Is that you sit cross-legged,
Leisurely savoring your glass of wine
While wrap myself around myself
As I gulp from the glass pain at the hospital.
You post the photo of your ninety something mother on
Facebook, still in her prime.
And I remember the complexions of my seventy something
Mother with all her wrinkles.
You see her everyday and place a peck on her cheeks,
Whereas I have seen her only twice in twenty-two years.
I kiss her photo everyday in longing.'1

'God bless our mothers!
You follow all football matches.
You laugh, comment, cheer and support this team
Against that one
While I follow all the agonies of my people in Afrin.
I weep, respond, curse and grieve
For what has befallen them.
Your sister has a splendid house on the city centre
Whilst my two sisters vagrants, homeless
And vagabonds,
A family from Ghouta occupied the house of one,
And a family from Qalamum occupied the house
Of the other.'2


         Truly speaking, he essencifies with the desire for motherhood glowens that

Hussein Habasch owes to the vast legacy of brotherhood through the scatterong of affirmness to a meaning to bring flourshing and growing through moments' mooring.Thus, he writes,

'You sit with your only brother
And debate how to split your father's vast legacy
While I worry about the affairs of my brothers, exiled and
Fleeing, scattered round the globe.
I have no means to reunite them and to bring them
To satisfy.
Your country is Germany.
My country is Kurdistan.
Two words apart...
Germany is flourishing and growing
At each moment and every minute
While Kurdistan is slaughtered and murdered
At each moment and every second.'3

        Plurally speaking, Hussein Habasch endows, environmental stewardship is acted to true love for one's country includes protecting its natural resources, such as caring for the air, land, and water, and, by connecting to ancestral land into many cultures define 'country' as the surrounding environment—what is seen, heard, felt, and smelled, often linking it to ancestral history. The poet feels properly through the heavenly horizon where the twilight is rowed to delight, thrilling with the  beauty of gloaming; and the wide green field smiles with the creamful beauty like mirror of the universe.Thus, a poem may be added,

'The day's eye sits on the lapse of the western horizon,
The western heaven wears dress of twilight,
The birds bath with the shower of twilight and fly with delight,
After early evening they are ready to return,
Nightfall comes with their wings,
I look at them and I am thrilled,
Yo enjoy the beauty of gloaming
I climb to the roofing.
I go to the green field
Where the grasses smile and dance holdimg the hands of sweet light,
I like to walk or ride a cycle on lonely path,
Where the trees of both sides welcome
Attaching the beauty cream of twilight
Other faces.I like to go to the river
Where the twilight-sky looks at her face in the mirror of eater.'  4

And asks me: Are you mad like me?

That is going to be lost any way,
I move on.'6


       Accruably speaking,  Hussein Habasch  accurates his thought through the personality and patriotic preference to a person who  always loves for his country and it is something that includes a sense and feeling of love, respect, gratitude to each and .everything of this soil, flowing out from very long . He has a notion for his country through the miraculous applying where the ocean like feeling is deposited in mind for celebration.Thus , he writes,

'Your country is exporting Leopard tanks to kill what breath
Was left in the lungs of my country!
And my companion who miraculously survived.
The killing machine
Are applying in scores for asylum in your country.
You were born with a golden spoon in your mouth,
And I was born with a poisonous challis in my mouth.
This is only a drop of an ocean of differences
between you and me.
I shall not go on unfolding the pain that adjoined me
As a twin since birth.
Despite the differences you see between us,
I fully understand why celebrate life .
I never understand why I despair over it!'7

             Aspirously speaking, Hussein Habasch adores that  conservation is a journey of love for the land, its people, and future generations, fostering coexistence with nature 'worldcentric' sense of duty that connects citizens to their land, culture, and people, and this combined love fuels environmental conservation, national pride, and a duty to protect natural nnresources. Basing on the authentication of nature, it's to say that wonderness is wooed to human art, philosophising with stream where the source of greenness is supremised with sparkable love, attaching to the mystic mode of nobleness for spreading fareness with values. Thus, a poem on him,
'You are the cause and effect of human art,
Resisting with the wonderness of godlike
Dealings and feelings really to free act,
Is, ah! moderated that is for fine strike.

Philosophising with the stream of new
Higher source of ever greenness where the domes
Of supreme knowledge and wills are like dew
Of sparkable love, is ah! freed to fames.

You are reserver of time and truth, dynamising
With mystic mode of nobleness where pureness
Is under the attainment of feeling through actualising
The mooring of mind, spreading to fairness.

You are the road of values, neighbouring
Yourself by performance through good referring.'8

       Easifying to say that, he asseses that
key aspects of loving country and nature is appreciated to natural beauty, by loving  country often that begins with appreciating its unique landscapes, flora, fauna, and geography. He attaches his thought that packets of love is purified to brighten for granting. Thus, he writes

'He has nothing to say.
Hands in pockets,
Heart on his chest.
No, he left his heart on purpose in the heary of
A crazy woman.
She kept writing about her little Sisyphus
And about the stones with their bright colors
That God granted.9

           He, the profound poet, strengthen to his idea through poetry that environmental stewardship rubbs with true love for one's country includes protecting its natural resources, such as caring for the air, land, and water. He postulates that the mountains slendering wobbly, pouring with the chilling  to resembe with air as balm.Thus, he writes,

'I love these rugged mountains
and these slender rivers
with wobby knees pouring  into their charnel house.
I love these stones defy sunrays in the midsummar heat
and the frosty cold in midwinter chills.
I love this soil that resembles my body
and this land that foremost means the heart.
I love this dust , a coal for my eyes it is,
and this air, a balm for my lungs it is.
I love this skimpy terebinth
and the fragrant hawthorn.'10

            Preferably speaking, Hussein Habasch is under connection  to ancestral land from his mood and mind that many cultures define 'country' as the surrounding environment—what is seen, heard, felt, and smelled, often linking it to the past. He, yearning with the continuous croaking whitens the houses through generousness.Thus, he writes,

'I love cacti and its thorns,
olives and its yearnings.
I love this thin reed that serenades all the time
on the river bank,
this dark seamp where frogs continuously croak.
I love the daisy flower that resembles with whiteness
of my heart,
and these tulips that fraternize with my blood.
I love these mud houses
and these tents, fluttering on the outscirts of forgotten villages.
I love the generous vine, the bequesther of grapes and wine'.11

          Moreover, he, the widen poet from his thought runs to active conservation  and expresses  love that involves actions like planting trees, reducing waste, and participating in conservation efforts where national identity  and  culture proceeds to the physical landscape which is often an integral part of national identity. He has the mind for presentation that the rain glares monsoon, referring to green glowing as song.Thus, a poem,

'A fistful of rain
I also longed for that day again
Burning in the sun of solitude's glare
No one gave, no one came  closer.

Though the sky wore monsoon's rainbow
Your eyes held a wide woods' yearning to
Still, I yearn for a handful of rain
But not for me- not for my scare pain...
It is for a rainless spring anew
Let thoughts turn green in rainy hue

Let every fadedspeck of dust
Sing songs of lush hope and trust
May tomorrow's world not be lost
In the heart of the rainless Sahara's thirst.'12

        Resultingly, it's to say that Hussein Habasch carries a deeper, macro reflection on this topic, considering  thoughtful .exploration of love for country from a personal viewpoint through love for country and nature .
