Nation of peace (It starts with you!)

No nation knows peace,
we are all at war!
We're always trying
to settle a score.
Even the evangelist
with his eloquent roar,
condemns the lost sinner
whom he seems to deplore.
What if in passing
we could turn it around
and bring things together,
by kindness be bound.
Healing our hearts
with a heavenly sound
before all we know
comes completely unwound!
Turn to your neighbor
right here and right now
and offer your friendship.
We've got to learn how!

Just Imagine With Me ( A triolet)

Imagine Palestine free!
Imagine its land's not defiled!
Imagine me breathing its sea!
Imagine Palestine free
And its children live cheerfully!
Imagine us never having been exiled!
Imagine Palestine free!
Imagine its land's not defiled!

Bleeding poem

Ten years,
a decade poured into a love
that echoed in a silent room.
The ink bleeds on the page,
each poem
a whisper lost in my the void.
Are my words like whispers on the wind, scattered and unheard?

Broken Telephone

Broken Telephone

Words sounding distorted
Blurred words, as if the drunken are communicating
How do we miss each other in the conversation?
What do we miss?
Is it that we are confused?
How about if we just sit still and listen?
Could it be the solution to what ails us?

L' Chaim! (To Life!)

My mind's a maze of melancholic madness.
My soul's a sack of sentimental sadness.
It's time I shed self pity's
sombre shell,
and stepped outside my solitary cell!

The springtime songs outside my door are ringing.
The songbirds swoop,
non-stop: their sound of singing.
I dare not squelch with sorrow's baleful breath
the celebrants of life that conquers death!

Innovation

I'm the I's(eyes) in the sentence "I Am King..
I'm never blinded ,I can see.
The say heavy is the head that wears the crown
Well I'm prepared to frown
Like a silent geek.

I Am King ,I came with innovations
My rhymes and schemes are made in the old pages
I stay in the same location

You can come get me ,
Coz saying we gotta meet to beef is not healthy.
I'm full of ideas my ingredients could pop bellies

Plastic soul

Ever since I met you
I haven’t been okay
You dragged me back down
And now here I lay

Didn’t even stab me
But I’m left to bleed
You came back again
Only to love and leave

I tried to water you again
Let you breathe up the lush
So you could feel whole
But water doesn’t work on fake flowers
Who have a plastic soul

I fucking hate you
But not really at all

I Walk This World

I walk this world both night and day
Wanting to know what gives my stay.
Why can't my soul find the true rest
Unless by your hand she is blessed.

I look as my world cry in pain
And wonder what in life we gain.
Why do we do our brother wrong
Happily singing our own song.

I cannot rest my searching heart
Till I know what’s the major part,
Till I know that calmness within
Saying that I have denounced sin.

What I keep saying to those standing in front of me

The last thing you wanna do
Is waiting in a queue
Sweating,
With numbing feet,
Time reluctantly passes
Be wise , think about it
Do not hesitate

Whatever you're waiting for
It s not worth it
So,
quit it
I know you shan't regret it.
I'll take the burden off
and wait in the queue
Instead of you

My Heart, My Heaven

With my eyes i can touch the universe
With my heart could i change the world
With my wisdom i can form an opinion
And with my hands could i sculpture a form.

With my family i can create a community
With my faith could the world change me
With my values i can judge impartially
And with my love ,can i be fairly judged

With my honour i can defend all goodness
With my observances can i find the truth
With mankind in perfect harmony
And with blessings to a greater god go i
