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
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!!
