The End

Lines on forehead are deepening.
No signs of abatement
of fire in our bellies.

The hunger we inherited
is only comforting
the mouthless.

Broken laughs.
Strange bedfellows
chopping off the murals from the lips.

A body rots,
stinks.
Maggots fly.

Negotiations are still on.
Who will dissect the legend
to find the cause of death?

Dark Intellectuality In The 21st Century

a lot questions but no answers
a lot of doubt but no truths
a lot of discussion but no negotiations
a lot of hard works but no energy
a lot of conferences but no inner developments
a lot of books but no contemplation on words
a lot of certificates but no breakthroughs
a lot of networks but no unity
a lot of similarities and sameness but no harmony

THE QUESTION:

WHERE ARE UNITY HARMONY & ENERGY?

Never To Prosper

Never do we prosper when there is pain,
How do the pains become a tragedy?
My conversations are longer than others
Over the dispute about certain issues.
May results be absolutely accurate
Of the experiments designed to construct.
This experiment is long with much discomfort
But the negotiations are needed with this discomfort.
Success resides in the heart that beats so healthily,
Not just when arguments are aroused and won.

Talkers

Desks of talkers are arranged around the world,
Then negotiations proceed to capture hearts.
The talk of the century is forgotten
By the majority of viewers, after seconds and minutes.
Then the talking is a coincidence,
A family manages to conflict with another animal.
This is a struggle from the banks of the river.
My conversation needs appraisal,
And my views are no longer secret,
Many sentences leave the page
To master those in fullest power.

Just War?

The dead calls unto the living;
And living unto the dead
I stood still to watch my friends dying;
‘Just war? ' no one thought or said
I lived among the heathen
Desperate they end the long fighting;
And for the government's little misunderstanding,
War calls unto the living
Have I not starved yet so long?
Have I not sat in wait so long?
Again so long can me no longer
No longer can I watch my life fall asunder?
Aren't there wise men anymore?
Are there no negotiations anymore?
What so great has caused this catastrophe?
Just war?

His Reckoning

No man lives forever
Even a powerful one,
He will die sooner or later
With just a breath, he's gone.

Dictators, presidents-
Whatever their positions,
No escape when Death is sent
No political negotiations.

God has a way of removing
Puny abusers of power
For they soon end up dying
From illnesses that plague after.

Man's pride should bring him low
For he is just a mere mortal,
His life, he does not know
Is held by the God Who's eternal.

Pictures To Paint Of Unforeseeable Dangers

I am living my life,
To climb impossible heights.
Or as far as I can reach...
Before a lesson comes to be taught,
With an experience itself that teaches.
Creatures hiding in the shadows,
To strike from cracks...
I have already met after wetting myself.

I am not here to remain in negotiations,
With anyone in debate to create my delay...
With pictures to paint of unforeseeable dangers.
Or goblins and ghosts with other fears to host.
My footsteps are placed firmly on a path.
I know that now as well as from my past,
I'd be facing my choice of direction...
Alone! And,
Maybe just a 'little' familiar with shaking.

When Rainbow says you're not seeing my true colors

My Railway track joins somewhere
On a particular day to the Rainbow
And the whistle of my train
Not so loud as earlier and some mechanical fault
It seems!
And the Lantern too is dimming
As the oil is not sufficient?
I have my own plans and some great notions
But how could I reach you
And get down at your colorful one stop station,
When you say that I am not seeing your true colors?
I am really backwards and pull the chain to stop
But that doesn't work properly.
Please give me a word at least I can raise my voice there
And come for a conclusion with some negotiations?

*'You know you're old when you've lost all your marvels.' -Merry Browne

Peace In Ireland And The Middle East

The Middle East is like Ireland in many many ways,
Each side totally committed to their own religious days,
Therefore in a way, it’s god that’s causing the problems over there,
One of the reason why their peace negotiations can go nowhere.

If we could get rid of all religions even just for a few years,
I know this would not be as easy as it appears here,
Because religious types don’t want to loose their place up front,
Therefore those in Ireland and the Middle East will confront.

Close down all mosques, churches and synagogues on a given date,
This no doubt would make it easier to have an honest debate,
Can you imagine the row and conflict that this alone might cause?
As they bring out the old books full of ancient religious laws.

Affliction

Stroke of a heartless son
Desirably remained an unschooled rascal
Plunging ischemic into a father's mind
Sweep-swindling all the travail of asset
The father's cumulated..

Educated brat, conspiring wife
Plotted to be berserk
Paralysing the father
To be bundled empty of life
The father's cumulated..

Modern daughter of arrogance
Literate to be modest in secret eloping
Stupefying yearnest alliance -negotiations
To attack the heart's wishes
The father's cumulated..

Disagreeing a wedlock of orthodoxality
Bunking in spinsterhood of overweighed hubris
