Future Leaders

Boy: When I grow,
I want to be a Leader
Bring positive change,
And cancel the mindset of corruption;
Education shall be my priority,
As the illiteracy rate shall drop.

Girl: When I grow,
Roads connectivity shall be my focus
From interior to city shall be paved,
As citizens shall enjoy the facility of electricity.
The poverty rate shall drop,
People shall live in sincere harmony;
Injustice is not acceptable,
Anyone found guilty with unique evidence,
Shall be imprisoned for ten years.

Boy: When I shall grow,
I want to be a Leader
The motive of "I, me and myself,"
Shall come to an end.
Citizens shall enjoy every milk and honey
We will not even need gunmen on streets,
Switzerland shall be our example,
As Israel shall be our role model in "giving".

Girl: When I grow,
I want to be a Leader
The "Open Door Policy" shall be reborn;
All leaders children shall attend Public school,
As taxes on citizens will decrease.
Poor shall have absolute right!

Heal the World

Heal the world!
Heal the world!
Heal the world!
How many times shall I raised my voice saying "heal the world?"
Great Doctors and Scientists all fall along the way,
What happens to the righteous and conquerors in faith?

Will we sit and allow pandemics like Covid-19 to treat us like slaves?
Will we be happily excavating our son's and daughters' graves?
I guess,
It's a mistake!

Diclofenac Potassium tablets resist our throats,
From malaria to the soul's throat,
Which sort of problem is this?
God need to interfere,
Or the Globe shall turn poor.

My outward is great,
But inward is dirty
Shall I put thee to the wall
Before you hear my request,
Or shall I judge you
Before you put thy ears?

Heal the world!
Heal the world!
Heal the world!
Shall I worship gloves instead of your words?
Shall I wash my hands
Before reading through your scriptures?
Arise in anger,
And remove this plaque from among us.

The Orphans Tears

Where are our parents?
Where is the womb of our flesh?
Where are the graves to testify
We had parents?
Why do lamentations salute us?

The sentiment of this world is confusing.
Having food is like hell,
What more about buying a slipper!
Day and night,
The dumpsites are our shopping centers,
As wrecks are our best suits.

After covering miles,
Some bath us with dishes water,
As others cherish us with sour food.
Why only the orphans?
Why agony and solitude defined us?

We prayed all night,
When shall our prayers
Be the building block of life?
Why our faces are the mother's deal of sorrow?
When shall joy welcome us?
O, God! Wipe the affliction off our faces.

Even Before You Think

Don't you know I've been eyeing you?
Even before your thoughts were revealed,
It was injected into my memory,
But fear squeezed my heart.

I understand the miles that separate us,
If only you look in my eyes,
Nothing you will find
Apart from your vow and image.

How I wish to hold thy hands!
Walking on the street of love,
Jealous the eyes of the observers.
O! One day our arms shall rob against the others.

Hope our bed is make-up,
I'm ready to look in thy eyes for an hour;
If tears rolled, don't think I'm crying,
Cheerfulness reminds me of paradise.

Rejected Child

Lost in bitterness she alarms
Voice became sharp to their ears
Back to back, they threw her out
Slippers left her feet with tears.

Standing on that road she sweats
After nine months she was rejected
Parents left her in an absolute mess
Lawyers passed and don't care.

O, parents! you're the cause of the rape
You're the cause of prostitution
If this child shall die from severe headache,
What will you say about misery?

O thy mothers! can you bear a child and beseech death?
O mothers! can you lose pounds of blood and see thy child in tears?
O Parents!, work constructively,
And change your mentality.

When You Leave

When you leave,
I shall fall into the hands of an accident.
The blood shall roar over my head,
Wheelchair shall be my legs,
As mask shall be my new face,
Because thy soul is my beauty.

When you leave,
Who shall I share my common problems with?
I will be afraid!
My name shall exceed the earth.
Who will understand me as you do?
If you leave, tears are my endless food!

Both day and night I will weep,
If my brothers and sisters ask,
I will cry on thy name.
Though I'm skinny,
Your presence can create flesh.
When you leave,
Soliloquy will surely be my madness.

Hold this flower,
I will make a vow.
Look in my eyes,
I will remove frowned and tears.
O!  Babe, when you leave,
Stupidity is my formula,
As misery is my solution.

Where Is God

I have trespass through the earth
I have trespass through the Bible
I have trespass through scriptures and commandments
I have lifted my head far above the sky,
Yet, where is God?

Some said "he's in heaven"
Some said "in space"
Some said "everywhere"
O! I'm deeply unsatisfied with evolution theory
So, where is God?

Is he by my side?
Some said "yes"
But I have searched
I guess he should be a ghost
Is this question rhetorical, where Is my God?

I know we're all here for an examination
Someway, somehow, we shall all depart.
Suddenly, I have heard his still voice
Tried searching in all directions,
Still can't identify, so, where is God?

Wish of a Poet

Monument shall be my image,
A book shall be my memory
Not how many pages I inked,
But how impactful is it to the world?

When I shall turn ghost,
Don't shift me with tears.
Legend died,
Rebirth brings forth the same lights.
Read my poems,
Create your summary,
Educate others about it.

When I shall die,
Build my Monument with a book
Show it to the next generation
Tell them my impact on the world.
In spirit and documents I liveth
If you resist  my wish,
I suffereth in tears and vain.

Love Is Cripple

Do you remember me 
Walking under the rain and sun
To prove my love,
Fetching your water,
When friends and others said 
"I was as a madwoman?"

Looking for you in every corner,
Putting food in a bucket,
Yet, you look in my face
And said, "Love is cripple!"
I didn't understand your tricky words,
Till you modest me in tears.

I understood you are not rich:
We put heads together to get things right,
Cherish whatsoever you have:
Your tears always puzzle me in sadness,
Your sad words critique my heart in agony:
Suddenly, my pay is tears?!

Now, I know love is cripple;
As you romance her in your arm,
Love her always,
For she is, beautiful like Queen Vashti:
I thought we were going to build a Museum of love,
I thought we were going to be like Romeo and Juliet,
Oh!, pain is my best offer?! 

Jesus did his best, yet he was betrayed;
If love is cripple,
Let me go and find someone
Who will straighten my heart: 
Love me for who I am, my impressions, and throw away tears.

I appreciate the tears and affliction!!!

Wishes For the Blood

WISHES FOR THE BLOOD 

She wishes of becoming a patriotic leader; 
She wishes of making the world a better place;
She wishes of speaking justice for all;
She wishes of stretching hands to the orphans and others;
O! Suddenly, you destroyed her wishes with blood and misery.

Don't you think she can be your sister?
Don't you think she can be your mother?
Through her, all nations were named,
As through Adam, all animals have distinction.
See how you infringed on her right,
And turned her wishes for the blood.

See how you modest her integrity and leave her in mess;
Don't you know your appetite is another child failure!
You gushed her in pains,
Pulled pillow to her mouth and stole her virginity;
Knowing you can bear her,
You fool her with a teddy bear.

Woe to your reaction!
Your casket shall be a prison,
As chains shall seize your spirit forever.
Girls are the next future leaders';
Say no to rape and don't encourage!
If you observed such, please report to the nearest Police station.
