Aziz Ghrabat Poem
Open your heart, your soul, and your
brain...
Strive to be different, but never forget what
makes us the same.
Many will claim to disdain others for
reasons they cannot control.
Reasons such as color, belief, culture,
language, and goals.
Society will continue to fall if this remains!
Fall like rain that softens and washes
away the clay in which we are all made.
All men and women are born with eyes,
ears, arms, hands, fingers, lungs, legs, feet,
and toes...
These are all similarities that no one
chose.
We all have mouths, tongues, hearts,
blood, bones, and a nose...
So why does mankind continue to fade
instead of grow?
Let these words shiver your spines and
corrupt your minds in which we all have!
To claim or believe that you are better
than any person is a crime!
At the moment, mankind is covered in
slime and filth!
Preying on the weak with no means other
than MEANINGLESS WEALTH!
They do it in stealth and don't care at all about your health or well being!
But there must be something else we're
just not seeing.
They've blinded us like sheep just
searching for meaning.
But inside every sheep ROARS the heart of
a lion, gleaming and BEGGING to cry out in
DEFIANCE!
I am SICK of the violence and CAN NO
LONGER HOLD my silence!
I REFUSE to sit back and watch as
humanity gets SLAIN!
Life is more than just a silly game and fear
SHOULD NOT be any ones claim!
Don't continue to refrain from seeing the
worlds pain, ACKNOWLEDGE IT!
There are only three paths in this life, so
be wise and pick a lane...

Aziz Ghrabat Poem
I made peace with a man i once thought was my enemy the other day.
Our friendship is not on lease and I'm certain it will stay...
Until him and I pass away, for I know we will both die on the same day.
I disliked this man for the insecurities he once felt.
Always quiet and alone and with is problems, he never dealt.
You could see on his face that he was not normal or true.
Why he held back, I honestly have no clue.
Going the extra mile in attempt to hide who he was.
I guess it's because he had fear of how others would judge.
So he lied to himself and denied all the help he was offered.
Insisting in false claims that he just didn't want to be bothered.
And this way he stayed, year after year, and season after season.
Until one day he learned that fear of judgement was a horrible reason...
And realized that what he was doing to himself was a different kind of treason.
So he took off his mask and revealed his true self over time...
And saw that he took the judgement of others just fine.
So now when I see my new friends face in this mirror.
I understand who he is a whole lot clearer.
Sometimes he's still not clear and I don't know what he is trying to say to me.
I'll figure it out one day and just smile back at the man I once thought was my enemy.
