Tears of a MotherO weavers of life, behold this diamond—
Strong and bright, pure and radiant.
She held the key to life in trembling hands;
Her trial, a furnace of refining flame.
Yet she stood unbroken—
And the fire found her not wanting.
Her journey sang a symphony of pain,
Yet like a lamb, she stood in peace.
Her sweetness was blood,
And uneven was the burden...

Go enjoy life and leave the queueLosing a friend sucks
Losing hope in your crush sucks
Waiting for people to change sucks
Finding out you comfort hoodie in dirty sucks
If I keep going I’d cry and that sucks
So let me change one letter
And turn the word into bucks
Or let me put my headphones on
And go watch some ducks
As...

EGOISTIC BEHAVIORCan you live forever?
Why feel you are
Over another
When you're not
Their creator and provider
Just because you're in your prime.
I can't make you feel less
But won't make you
Feel above me either
Variety is the spice of life
Why disparaging another?
Like Jesus said;
Do unto others, as you want others to do unto you.
If it hasn't...

DEEP MESSAGEA little boy asked me about the future...
I told him;
It ends in the grave.
None wanna go sooner
But it's the final destination for all.
Everything we're striving and thriving for
We'll live behind
Then go to our future
Another world beyond
To behold
But through the grave.
In this life we come and we go
Nothing lasts forever.
Pray your...

THE GENOCIDE IN GAZAOh yeah, promoters of war...
How long will this mass massacre endure!?
How many more do you want to make
homeless, starving and struggling to survive
You can't feed the poor or help the needy,
But you always buy weapons for destruction
Have anything, country, city, place etc. flourish amidst war??
Oh yeah suicide bombers
How far have you...

SPIRIT CALLINGOn a cozy night
Very late midnight
I heard a voice
Calling
A voice in my head
As it slowly whispered.
Wake up
Get up
It's time to act
Taking action
Towards your Aspirations.
Wanted to fall asleep again
But couldn't
The voices keep screaming aloud
Time waits for none
Wake up, get up and take actions
My spirit keeps...

Zebra poem Cunning BeastThe Zebra has a puzzling name,
Alphabet letters strangely cast,
It finishes off with the first,
After starting off with the last!
The Zebra is a cunning beast,
It blends with the waving grass,
With stripes upon its body and head
And even stripes upon its – legs!

the secret hintThe secret hint
I was watching a TV program about Hercules Poirot
the heroine in the plot had no **** and wore an evening dress with aplomb
She had not sat on a carpet in the forest of spring where
the animal of love roams is green
as spring grass has a pink underbelly that looks like a purring
cat...

Despite meLet my heart flood thee with my words
I can’t fight the war of love
But i can search your soul for romantic moments
I know no words of sincerity but over the years lovers have turned fouls
I am yet see you waiting for me with coffee
But let that day be tonight
Let us...

IF THEY COMEIf they come ? They will come ...for one of us !
Forceful to take over

Claiming to prioritise our human behaviour action's
In life ...of our yesterday into our today's
For if they come...

Serpents, Scorpions and OwlsSunsets in Saharan skies
Every nomad looks and sighs
Reprieved from unrelenting heat
Peruse the sun in its retreat
Every desert roamer knows
Nights with cool sand twixt their toes
Their utmost fear at the oasis?
Serpents lurk in nighttime places
So the creatures of the night
Creatures that emerge and bite
Only fear the bedouin
Replete with pots to cook them in
Pincers and a...

The Animal TrapThe animal trap
The artist the athlete the strength of the human condition
The leaders still fight
Those inner demons
Dance death into extinction
Loves only threat
Humans were a joke
Then they reached Olympus
Take the waves thrashing the ships
Be the conquerer
The life that takes
The world remakes
The feeling so hard and dark
At Attention stands the demon man
We can walk in...

The Depths of BeingThe Depths of Being
In the silence where thoughts dissolve,
A place where all mysteries evolve,
Beneath the surface, deep inside,
Where truth and shadows both reside.
I seek not answers, but the still,
Where all is quiet, all is still,
A space where time has ceased to be,
And I am one with what I see.
The mind, a maze of endless sound,
But...
