World’s riches, nations wealth
accumulated by fortunate few
Rest of us could lie and linger
Rest of us could die in hunger
Rest of us could sleep on the streets
Rest of us find food as a treat
Rest of us should wake up one day
Irony is, why it is not today!
Wishes, slow burning wax
Keep flickering, giving light,
flaming hopes, heaven send
Till the very very end
Suddenly a melodious tune I hear
Sound of heaven in my ears
Bringing back far away years
Childhood, grandfather, I
Listening to the radio,
Moments just fly,
Alghoza by Misri on air
Sky became clear
Birds would sing
Bells would ring
Joys it brings
Barns, golden lands
Wheat, working hands
More energy was found
All around, work quickens
Heart cleaned blood thickens
Suddenly the magic ceases
Record ends, pulse eases,
tears runs through my heart
Eyes long for one last look
If I can see all of it again
My hand holding his one finger
That memory lingers and lingers
His wisdom and fables
Our walk to stables
His talk and my babels
All gone, except that tune
Reminding me every moment
I spent, wisdom he lent,
Still carry me through this life
Thank you granddad,
I will see him in heaven
I just hope one exists
Because I miss him
Dearly…
Let the meanness go away
Let sisters be dear sisters
and brothers be brothers
Let happiness rule the day
Confidence grows
Mad rush slows
Heart shows
a smile, a laughter
Money, not we are after
Just joy and play
Is here to stay
Last time I asked
End of wars, and such
At least give me, this much,
Pleaseee pleasee please 🙂
)
I was wondering
wanting, wandering
cavalier, did not care
then you showed
light, emanating
encompassing
startled soul stare
deep illuminating flare
heart fumbles, trips in glare
nothing will be same again
Tide is turning
Life is churning
We are learning
Bit by bit
Cut by cut
Hit by hit
Hope enjoying
Forward looking
Satisfying
Serene and low
Understated
Ebb and flow
Resolutions
Have the courage
then Revolutions
Ambitious goals
Self improvement
Cleansing souls
Another year
So on and on
Time and tide
Would go on
Happy Holidays and Happy New year to all 🙂
The new year comes
Be generous
Be nice
Be forgiving
Be wise
Do something you will be proud of
Give yourself an absolutely gigantic surprise!
Happy New Year mes amigos
may you prosper
May you have the courage to say no
May you have the courage to say yes
May you have the courage
to never ever give up hope for all of us.
2017 here we come
Arms stretched
To embrace
To never let go
Love to thyself
Hope against hope
Will with will
The only thing
humanity knows!
White robes,
Or Black robes,
Caps of crafts
Diamond crusted staffs
Beautiful mosques
Cathedrals grand
Golden temples
Shiny stands
This is Religion
Really?
This is vanity
Human insanity
The one truly matters
Lives in your heart
Want to please him
Better start
From inside
Deep within
Voice begins
It tells the truth
It will not fail
Inside, faith prevails!!
Mighty heart beams
Happiness out of seams
A smile telling all
For a bundle so small
girl for a girl, it seems
most joyful being
