Samuel Tsehaye Habtetsion Poem
Wrath shortening my breath, tendering my pulse
Her, walking across the class to kiss the friend I lost
Shame on him, to give up my trust for the one I love
Back to the good old days, I and her on the hills
Forgetting our meal, no hunger to feel
Spending time together being the only thing right
A best friend that I used to have, known all secrets that I had
Fell for the one I pleaded to God and She for him to clot my blood
Betraying my love that I spent everything in life to craft
Taking me for grant, my friend gave everything to the lost love
Forgetting the oath for our friendship to last
Believing, like I did, she will last till the world’s blast
But, to repeat the history of my sorrow and misery
She left my friend without feeling sorry
To live her life, with someone who can give a golden penny!

Samuel Tsehaye Habtetsion Poem
Your Love is like a bright golden lamp
Hard to get hard to hold but, beauty to mold
Worth fight for its lavish light
Of all the girls I have ever met
You are the one I can’t forget
For you are the perfect’s select
Because from the above
God created you as a perfect craft
For me to have an everlasting love!

Samuel Tsehaye Habtetsion Poem
In the world of diversity and disparity,
Hard would be, to see tranquility
Abandoning, God-given equality,
Oh! It would be a bitter reality
Survival of the fittest, deprival of the weakest,
Race; color; wealth determining who is the finest
For few to flourish, slavery to the rest
Loyalty for enormity; sincerity in grave,
Executing kindness with heinous ruthlessness,
Person dying, sibling laying in a fancy place
Would be the scene natural to face
But thankfully, there is a way,
There is a way; for humanity to sway
Placing peace in a safe bay
Sustaining the poor and protecting the incapable
There is a way; to put truce enmity with truth
Forbidding the vile raiding sacredness
Adversity and cruelty to get a final close
The way is the law, for those who aspire
To rationalizing an irrational desire
Ending “an eye for an eye” and “a tooth for a tooth’s” empire
Progressing with equality’s tier
The way is the law, to prevent fear
Aggression by the fierce, hard to bear
But, with the law’s armor, sturdy to wear,
Serenity is assured far and near
Yes, the way is the law, for justice to glow
Upholding peace for a better tomorrow and
Prosperity as a pace with uninterrupted flow!!!

Samuel Tsehaye Habtetsion Poem
Poverty that made my spirit blow
There, from no one to borrow
Looking for something to swallow
But, nothing to eat even a willow
Left the house to implore
Stretching my hand being on the floor
Minute replaced seconds; seconds, replaced hours;
Yet, no one ready with a Godly valor
People passing by, a young after elderly
Witnessing, me beseeching for life dearly
No one cared even for a little charity
Manifesting cruelty defying humanity
Appeasing myself with a lullaby
Wishing an angel to come by
Wish to come true, an angel came by
But; it was for my final good bye!

Samuel Tsehaye Habtetsion Poem
PEACE OVER WAR
What do they gain those who blindly rule?
Leaders of nations, countries and the world
Leading to bleeding sliding peace’s feeling
Encouraging hostility for their foolish raging
Destroying humanity to keep their reign
Choosing war over peace for people to drain
Smoke of weapons to the skies for an acid rain
No trees to grow even the sowed grain
Lives as a cost with nothing to gain
Counterfeiting liberty with unstoppable atrocity
Child loosing mother, mainstay leaving their family
Hospitals and graves becoming the best vicinity
So, let this poetry be for the leaders to lead for harmony
For there is no victory in war except misery
To lead for peace rewriting the sorrowful history!

Samuel Tsehaye Habtetsion Poem
The Friend that I adore, with whom i took an eternal oath
Always there for me and I for him despite the rough road
Walking together, two bodies but one soul,
Enjoying the blessing of having one another
Seeing others envy of our unbreakable bond
Realizing it is something we should be grateful of
But, time was soaring around to give us another role
A role, where I and my friend to play alone
Not like the good old days everywhere together
My friend got a state call to defend for us all
Standing in the boarder for me and others like me
To have a good night sleep and stand tall
Counting the days for my friend to come back home
Becoming the habit that I love most, living my day
Holding my breath, fear of hearing a bad tone
Weeks replaced months, months replaced years
One silent morning started with a knock from my door
Walking with a trembling heart not sure if it was a fear or anger
A letter from my friend submitted by a stranger
Impatient that I became to see “soon I will be home”
But, it was a farewell letter to take away my last hope
It was then the guest told me that it was written in the last moment
In the moment of life and death rushing to say “I will always be with you”
A letter soaked with his blood, packed with his love telling me to be the strongest person alive!

Samuel Tsehaye Habtetsion Poem
Looking everywhere for the missed rib
In the bus, train and posters to lead
Pleaded God to provide with a little hint
Every time encountered with a gleam of a rib
Fooling myself thinking it’s mine to reap
Rinse and polish it to fit with the rest
Yet, not lucky enough to make a swear in a church
The rib that I found was not for me to get
All this time of searching rendered good for nothing
Nevertheless, the missed rib finally got found
She was not far from me to go for search’s second round
All this time by my side, never left despite the hard tide
When am alone, she was there for me to make me feel warm
When I needed help, she was there for me to give me a hand
That is the best friend that I always have
And the missed rib that I have been looking so far!!!
