Ashraf,
The poem you asked me about on my blog: Feel free to use it ANYWHERE you think it might be of help. I consider it an honor.
Thanks, Billy!

Manar,
I don't think they'd mind at all. In fact, I think they'd be happy that you're using them (so long as proper credit is given somewhere, of course). Thank you very much for doing that, and best of luck with your vigil!
Best,
Ashraf
PS: I'd love it if you could send pictures! The e-mail is archmemory@yahoo.com
this is so wonderful and powerful. It is great you have such circle of supporting friends.
The poems are so moving. Thanks to all!
