Bubble Of Oblivion
Honey glazed canopies
Shelter you and me
From the piercing rays
Of the sun, governing us in dismay
As we remain ensnared
In our reveries,
Oblivious and unaware,
Our fantasies as fickle as the breeze.
Perhaps it's not always a sin
To stay confined within
The bubble of oblivion;
To wear an armour of neon;
To shield our eyes
With rose-tinted glasses;
To sing with illusory passerines-

Living in a wasteland
Decades have passed.
The world has changed,
along with its people.
It no longer brings joy to my heart,
as it did in my time.
All because of them.
What happened to the days,
when the only thing one could do during a lovely day
was to step out the front door and pamper one's self
with the five senses that Mother Nature had provided?
But n...

Empty
Hello, can anyone hear me?
Hello, are you still there listening to my cries?
Listening to me as I fall on my knees, feeling so empty as this world falls apart
Hello, God! I need you! We all need you!
Our world slowly falls and we all begin to feel empty wanting human contact, human touch
God silently watches us and our empty lonely hearts
Waiting, quietly, for us all to call his ...

when my eyes close
and the day ends
thoughts get so loud
your curvy silhouette disintegrates
I lose sight of you
my world loses the right you
as your mediocre choices
blend you in with the crowd

deprived?
at times
life becomes
that empty glass
fractured in the heat
waiting below a tap
not connected
to a water source

pity flower
sometimes
I forget
what you are:
just a flower
swaying to
the directions
of foul winds;
rooted,
yet can’t stand
your ground;
looted off
your perfections
for reasons lewd
you pursued
colors faded
and gone
gone into a world
a life where
pretty flowers
don't belong

Herd (Co)Mmunity
Stir crazy,
my mind’s hazy.
Penned in like chicken
that never lays...
e-mergency broadcasts
and a merging of powers.
When did we surrender control of the supply chain?
I hear vegans got beef
with carnies,
but you can’t get the show on an empty road.
Do we even know where our food is grown?
Butcher, cheesemonger, greengrocer, and farmer...
were stripped from our com...

Love And Everything Else
Let's take our bond
seal it within
a singularity
Let's celebrate
and acknowledge it
There was desire
now there is
fulfilment
A new infinity
of love
compassion
empathy
I've been decorating
repainting everything
renewing the colour
drawing a line here
Like the world
I've been denying
but now I'm ready
and I'm sorry
for making you wait this long
It's time for love

NO SURPRISE
My fate is not in your hand
GOD makes our fates alone
Our life are surely planned
GOD feeds the ant in the stone
World is certainly small
If compared to Galaxy as shown
Whoever believes is a giant
GOD to perish the giant alone
MY heart is calm and glad
Satisfied of what I own
Whatever you earn in the dark
SURELY you'll pay it at noon

Arrive Alive
Road crashes are every minute
Here and there, in every point
More than a million killed a year
And speed is death, no doubt
“Drive Safely” is only choice
ٍSafety belt, has no "price"
Come back safe for the family
We live "once", not twice
Road is not real excuse
But the behavior is a main cause
For crashes all over that world
No more anger .. no abuse

The choice
Translation of my Arabic Poem (“The Choice”)
Who, in the World, chooses his birth?
Who chooses his family and children?
Who chooses his fate and country?
Who chooses the time to go to heaven?
But it is possible to choose our day
To sincerely care about family and work
This will be the first right step to our future
To achieve our goals while we're alive
Your name and countr...

My Fault
What did friends offer?
Except only talking
I really allowys suffer
My heart is sadly shaking
There was time to judge
Who was a fake or pure
Until we reached the edge
No friendship for sure
Life is a lie, and fancy
Nobody in reality is trusty
Friendship has no policy
May be I'm, only, faulty

The Theater
The Theater
Today, we're together
Tomorrow, we're apart
As Cinema .. as the Theater,
An End for the Start
Thanks to God for Life
To work .. earn and learn
Pray .. to keep Survive
Happiness to reach and Yearn
Surely, you're assigned
For a role to achieve a goal
Unless you've that mind
You need to heal your soul

The Lost Girl
A lost soul
not so bright
never done wrong
but not always right
Lost in the woods
in her dazzling mood
going against the world
she thought she could
I heard she was sad
maybe she lost her dad
in early age
she got trapped in a cage
Society used to tell her
what she had to be
but she never believed
and went after her dreams
I...

Shame of world
I heard about life where we were equal
I dream about that time every day
They say people are all the same
so what depends on their names.
Every night I go to bed
I lie down and close my eyes
I see people and all that hate
I bow my head in shame at them
I remember that all the time
You were lying by my side
You held my hand and kissed my lips
Tears are sliding down my cheeks.
You ...

Modernity
What bid the upper spheres to roll
about our grandly tomb of space,
in wild misanthropic patrol
propelled by some unknown faceless grace,
the same who bids all landless work?
for wage sustaining slavery,
and fashion law that government dirk
to prolong their own sad tyranny,
all this we must endure without tears
upon our once bright aeolian hearts,
where anxieties...

Zen zen breathe breathe
I'm supposed to see the flow and chill
The maker makes the writer fails
I'm supposed to let that go as well
I want nothing and nothing will still
Chase me down and bite my heels
If I'm wrong, I'm wrong and wrong is but
Nothing if nothing is always a rut
So I can just wait it out
Let my heart beat and shout
And hopefully quickly burn itself out

But some people are so damn lazy MM
The world wasn't built on false hopes

The World
The beings in this world, are so different,
Some own many houses, some struggle to even rent.
Oh, such beautiful animals on this planet!
Such wonders you will never forget,
some tall, some stubby.
Some skinny and small,some plump and chubby!
Oh this world, is filled with wonder
Up, up high, and deep, deep under!
When its winter, cold winds blow,
In monsoon, the rivers overflow.

Thug Life Quote/Of Mine #2
{Thug Life Quote/Of Mine #2}
Through my eyes
you all will one day
see the real world
the way God meant it
to be without killings,
murderers walking
free in our society
and our young youth
having to slang dope
to put in their mailboxes
to support and feed their
poor families so they can
survive through to a

Ignorance is bliss
So I guess that they've imprisoned us into this predetermined preposition
When the truth is there so blatantly but we can't help but not to listen
Because ignorance is bliss so we'll stay blissfully unaware
As to the GMO's in all our food and the geo engineering in the air
I suppose we'll go organic and refuse the water from the tap
What about the metals likened to a subtle che...

Selfishly Human
Every bit of what I see, I soak up like they are my needs for survival; I take it in to make me feel whole.
Each star dot-to-dot, I join, thieving the light from the sky.
The trees, the grass I will smell.
Then no one can ever smell them again.
The windows, the rooftops, the buildings, bottles, bins, buses and the yellow droplets of fuel that seep from their engines;
I will...

Love will conquer all
Hello guys! I'm new here... so please be nice :)
So I've decided to share with you my latest poem which I have titled "Love will conquer all". I decided to write this peom as a dedication to the recent attacks in my home-town London and in Manchester. I hope you enjoy.
Love will conquer all
We will not back down
We will all unite
We will join as one
And we will win this fight!

Time goes on
The world does too
Our Nature grows and dies
Our technology expands and flies
We manifest and destroy
To make ends meet
Even with passing days
We forget about the increasing heat
Or the decreasing ice sheets
Nothing seems important
To global tyrants and corporations
But money and power
At the cost of decreasing our showers
We accept it whic...

They say 5 a day and a number of vaccines are what you need to be healthy
They say that cancer can't be cured and that a plant should be outlawed, but what's the reality
They say we need to go to war but we've heard it all before, and it's not how it should be
They say we need to vote so get in line, as if we have a choice this time, they act like we'...

Times.
They make you promised,
But when the promises are broken,
They shout to the world that you are a liar.
They forced you to believe,
But when you lose faith,
They swear to god that you are not a believer
They seek your love,
But when you are forced to love them,
They says you are a slut, that's only want to play with their heart.
They craved for happiness,

Pavement Cafe
I’ve been sitting here awhile
My cup is empty
No matter, I like watching human traffic
Foreign students chatter by
Her! She passes every day
Fresh long hair, a breezy skirt, so beautiful
The picture of my love when I promised her the universe
Now there’s a young man with determination in his stride
His tie flapping across his chest; his briefcase full of ambition

Why does this world try to make me insane?
So much hate, to much anger and pain.
How can this world possibly heal?
When we don't even care how our fellow humans feel.
All these campaigns to stop smoking and drinking,
Why not campaign to stop hurting , start thinking.
Inside this huge universe we share such a small world,
Please human beings, stand up, be bold.
Smile at strangers an...

World's end
Suffocating under the rhythm of your heart beat
Like drowning beneath a sea of thumping marbles.
You are the ball pit, the sand pit, without end – falling!
But who can ever stand when they are - head – over – heels – for someone –
Yes!
And you pulled me in like a rip tide, a whirl wind, a sinking pool,
Wrapped me up like pig in blanket with your tangled hair
And the salt of it...

When the World is Not Enough
You pick up the trees and you wave them like fans
But her face continues to sweat.
You unravel the ground and you drain it of soil
But her stomach never rounds,
Her mouth remains open.
You bottle up the ocean till all water is extinct
Yet she continues to faint of thirst.
You take life from the earth,
You remove breath from the world
And she continues to perform still bi...

Thoughts
It is an anti-climactical relapse into the repression and suppression of life. You'll be on a cloud of positivity held in the captivity of optimism. And then as if your minds been hit by a tun of bricks that indicate the euphemism of the candidness of reality. As you get older you realise that the higher you climb the further it is to fall, so you get indecisive between the fear of failure and the...

What A World
A world apathetic to the pain that apathy wrought.
How much apathy would one want to endure.
Such a delight to endure the degradation.
Ever a joy to degrade so slowly. Into quiet.

FLOATING FREE
Drifting high on a gentle breeze
and grazing the tops of lofty trees,
watching below, all the people move
but there’s nothing left, up here, to prove.
Floating higher and into the clouds,
the sultry silence so deafeningly loud.
Throbbing pulse of a beating heart
as atoms pull; trying to drift apart.
Looking down upon an ailing world
with colourful rags held hig...

BREATHE
We take so much for granted
from this world on which we play,
the breath inside our lungs
drawn in from a cold and windy day.
Draining the life from a world already
so drawn and stretched to it's limits,
desperately trying to imbibe
the scarcities still deep within it.
To live; to breathe; to follow time
as down the wind it sails
against all odds and obstacl...

I have done nothing to this world,
and to those surronding me
to be treated liek this, or to have such pain.
I've did ntohing, but cared, loved, and trusted.
I've did all that I possibly could,
but I guess that didn't matter: now did it?
Becuase people like you
still treat me like crap,
people still take advantage of me
when I have trusted them the most,
and people still don't give two f...

Living the Eternity
You walk
You stand
You speak
Then you are quiet
You love
You hate
You fight
You make peace
You cry
You laugh
You live
You die
And you live again
You inhale so many lifetimes,
Your home is the universe,
Your time is eternity.
Words you speak are never silent,
Deeds of yours are never unseen,
Steps you take never fade,
Emotions you share always felt.
We often ask the questi...

A CHILDS EYE
Imagine a world of love and laughter
Of fun filled days and freedom till after
The tea time call or the playtime bell
Get back into line or you'll catch some hell
Imagine a world of wildness and wonder, of fun and jest
Of questions and answers and adventurous quest
When time was your own and life was a whim
To walk, to run through grass so long, to swim
Imagine a world ...

Our Mark In History
To sit here and quietly reminisce,
is to kindly blow our history a kiss...
A kiss is fondness sent to embrace,
a darling child or yet my lovers face...
My lovers face is mine to gaze upon,
and feel the warmth I've known so long...
I've known so long about this wicked world,
where we wish to see the peace flag unfurled...
The peace flag unfurled would make so much sense,

Who tested you?
They've been watching me ever since.
Capable of being alive.
Spiritually I am visiting you.

ANGELICA STRIKES
ANGELICA AWAITS
Dante’s angels have come for their souls,
they pounce on the unwary and the vulnerable.
No one is safe, for when you close your eyes
they will strike.
They show no mercy in their search for eternal youth,
it could be your soul or mine spirited away in
the night.
Angelica smiles from the moon,
she is all white and sensual but in a s...

Hello
Hi folks, some food for thought here. Press the link and take a look what's happening. There is no shame in admitting that you didn't know or understand how dire things have become on this globe. Most of us have never really known the full extent of the figures for years, but, let's hope we can as a collective shout, or write, just that little bit louder, so those in authority will know that we...
