To see you in Jeddah or see you in Dubai;

To open up to the world or let the world peek;

To mix gender or remain a single-gender society;

To act locally and live globally or drift to extremes;

To be or not to be, this is our struggle.  

 

To develop our city or fatten our pockets;

To preserve our heritage or let it catch fire;

To walk on a real sidewalk with dignity or drive a car while flaunting superiority;

To lead an environmentally healthy living or be immersed in foul;

To be or not to be, this is our struggle.

 

To visit each other or send virtual messages;

To read a book or go shopping;

To conserve natural resources or be selfish;

To live a balanced life or pretend a lavish one;

To be or not to be, this is our struggle.  

 

To be a professional or to be a sly;

To think critically or submit passively;

To utter the empowering truth or maintain the oppressive silence;

To foster unity-based diversity or submit to separation-based pluralism;

To be or not to be, this is our struggle.  

 

To spread knowledge or remain indifferent;

To slow down and reflect or rush and regret;

To live synergetic and integrated life or clutch on territorial and segregated one;

To find our middle paths or borrow others;

To be or not to be, this is the struggle.
