Life

Life I’ve fully lived you, I regret not To me this poison isn’t new, I regret not Loyalty is my passion and sincerity my religion If anguish and pain grew, I regret not Lust, greed, jealousy and prejudice Bigotry, extremism, terrorism, caprice The devilish deeds in the name of religion How they lure, how they entice I’ve learnt to subdue my desires, I regret not I’ve no ruby and sapphires, I regret not It’s love alone I treasure most The evil has built empires, I regret not Jan. 2014

Dear Shadow, Thanks for visiting my poem and for your uplifting views. Yes, I have lived my life and I am fully satisfied with it. At the same time I had my share of pain and anguish too. But if you have a heart you are bound to have them. So why complain? Love! -Mohammad

Hi dear friend, your words tell me what I always found in you. A person of integrity that sees through deception. I don't get here much but when I do I will find you. Loved your poem and you. Lizzie

Mohammad; This is a fantastic write. I too don't regret anything. Even though I am not rich - I have what I need. Sometimes, God gives us more than what we deserve. Your last stanza is beautiful. Thanks for sharing.... Lucilla
