Chanting Slogans
Chanting slogans
Cloaked crowd crawly creeping in and out of the cube,
Crook claiming critically of a cream creed of which the state carelessly crashed.
Cutting short a crimson cat which coiled to and fro,
Certainly a cry from a caressed child,
Catering to cope with a curling coin…
Crumbled protesters
Crushing into police,
Cautiously crafting a calm crane,
Coiling placards whilst others
Chanted slogans…

A Widow Like Her
A widow like her
Awakes before sunrise
Though sleepy still she rise
To work hard and end up with a prize
To break up with poverty and its ties
A widow like her must go in disguise
Only because her neighbors take her unwise
That her children have shrieked in size
From garden to market to kitchen like rolling dice
Hurrying up food to stop her children's cries
Each one she serves a plate on it a slice
Night falls and she kneels down for a sacrifice
Praying and wishing tomorrow may turn paradise

Codes Of Reality
Murky chambers secrete secret dealings
Bottomless splits havens precious pebbles
Discarded possessions suck the swarm
Kaput spirits deem in hush
Sopping souls resort in sorrow
Gripe outraged by graveness only is worn graciously by greatness
Confusion ignites the hellhole of war
Direness a chanted slogan of trepidation
Valor a bizarre fable to vagrants
Free will the hymn to rights
Reconciliation a legitimate line of attack to unity
Civilization strips way to modernity
Sorority, sagacity shall salt away humanity

A Shortsighted Mouth......
To the last generation
See that you emerge in a different situation
Make sure you come within a new creation
Great will be your fortified nation
From which no alien will find an incursion
Learn from the first generation
Their failure needs your correction
Their skills needs your collection
Had daughters gorgeous like yours,
Had sons gorgeous like yours,
Had walls enormous like yours…
Something you have they could not;
A black board to write on,
And a chalk to write with,
A teacher to pay attention to,
And a class to enforce team work,
A text book to make research,
And a screen to focus on,
A pen to practice with,
And a free time, to make friends

I Feel I Can't Feel My Own Feelings
I feel,
I feel like a stranger with my own feelings
I feel like an outcast in my own healing
I feel like deception in my own truth
I feel like a coward in my own greatness
I feel like a loser in my own victory
I feel like the victim in my own attack
I feel I can't find right words from my own lips
I feel am opting out of my own success
I feel my soul dodging my own body
I feel my failing exceeding my own guts
I feel my nightmares overcoming my dreams
I feel dejected in my own being
I feel a refuge in my own nation
I feel missing in my own premises
I feel blind with my own open open eyes
I feel empty with my own well-informed mind
I feel stolen with the divine likeness am wearing?
I feel you could tell me what you feel am feeling right in my feelings.

Peaceful peace seekers,

Children Of Light Freedom
Sing your song of faith;
To avid thinkers and to craving ears
To hysterical expressions and to derelict empathy
To fretful souls and to plaintive eyes
Children of light and freedom
Hoist your emblem of peace and wave its wings of bated breath;
To shattered nations and to bitty metropolis
To gone monarchy and to mislaid ethnicity
To trodden worriers and to their alienated dynamism
Children of light and freedom,
Imitate the walk of heroes and evoke the ways of your ancestors;
To annihilate obscurity in our lives
To echo every part of our breathtaking reminiscences
To revive the lost realm
Children of light and freedom
Narrate your stories of fidelity and share your riddles of wisdom;
To comprehension believers and understanding seekers
To myth lovers and riddle solvers
To trouble-free insightful minds and to implausible revelation fantasists
Children of light and freedom

Yes We Can
Yes we can.
Can't we coerce our own dreams to reality?
Can't we stick by and shield our own rights?
Can't we like lions fright away those wolves?
Can't we like birds nourish our children?
Can't we like bees construct our own roads?
Yes we can.
Can't we, if coped to mount from ash twist into thriving rocks?
Can't we like them bestow aid to puerile states?
Can't we like the heart impel peace to our regions?
Can't we alter our presidents from hedonism?
Can't we sanctify our lands both to nosh us and provide for market?
Can't we craft our harvest to win finer worth on global souk?
Can't we haul up our flag in G.20 pinnacle?
Yes we can.
Can't we sing, interpret books, and operate technology the whole lot from our own inventions?
Can't we set our own millennium goals?
Can't we also oversee in their elections?
Can't we end next stage, until we board our own invented planes, buses…?
Can't our own language be the official one?
