Early this morningWaking up in despair That it is Eid today Have not heard from them in a week The first message in my inbox From a friend who I know from a while How much is land in Srinagar?
There was a butterfly
blue as it can be.
The butterfly flew past me
but I did not see the wing.
It landed on the shell
looking colorful to me.
The earth sits, bare.
How it wishes for there to be
One to bring water to the deserted field.
Let the seeds of the beautiful flowers and trees
Grow and grow until the bareness
can no longer be seen.
I want to go where the water meets the land.
There is a balance there.
There is no sound like that which sand and lapping water share.
America, Americathe land of the freeAmerica the beautifulbuilt on bravery
But are we as boundlessas we claim to be?
Love thy neighbor
Love thy brothers and sisters
Believer in Him or not
One cannot deny, Love thy neighbor
To love thy neighbor
To love thy brothers and sisters
One must open their hearts
life and all its colorful catastrophes
i walk head down searching for a penny for my entity
i walk head up searching salvation for my soul
a sudden crash
loud and clashing
people running
Prancing around Lillies marked the destination of a new place.
Inside of a cave I dropped my bag on concrete steps and sat ontop of a hill from the wooden old house. Washed away by the wind were roses, sunflowers, and rabbits.
The wind blows
the wind howls
Mother Nature cries
while we tell lies
hungry greedy men
killing her children
leaving her raped in the dust
only to feed their lust
for power and money
Most of the time
We try to look at someone else's eye's
Try to understand through their covered lies
But what we do not realize
Viens throb from shameless drugs that mezmorize
When their mama cries
The landscape is barren
The wind blown is warm
Some bathe in the sunlight
Some burn with its scorn
Some lie there in waiting
With unquenchable thirst
Except the water is gone
It is the dead of winter, and from the kitchen window,
The oldest child watches her siblings play and tackle each other in the snow.
Fear storms through the dark endless skies
Where it seems that land can only exist at night
Where thugs rule the world and parents hide behind doors
Hypocritically stating,"the world is yours"
In the beginning
this land was calm and peacful.
Harmoniously
it co-existed
with the world surrounding it.
Neighboring lands though,
tainted by evil,
began invading our own;
Water
Clear, Wet
Freezing, Chilling, Soaking
Swimming, Soaking, Drying, Walking
Warming, Heating, Drying
Green, Dry
Land
