Besma Riabi Dziri Poet Rhyme

A Word Against A World Going Wrong

How would I have the upper hand 
as all around in chaos got drowned 
How would I stick to a single stand
when upheavals the soul do confound.
My words whiling away an abiding journey 
digging for the nectar of beauty many a well 
long striving to my turmoil hide and bury
keep chill and in my secluded shell dwell.
Shall my ink change shade and scent
from dark black to the colour of blood 
from the aroma of amber to an anger to vent
and pour heavy pain out of my chest flood.
So hard I tried to forge my very shield 
preventing the eye to crime scenes roam
see so filthy hands evil and power wield 
wiping from the world face a whole Home.
A word against a world going wrong 
shall I yield to what I truly can’t handle 
make time, give a chance for a poet’s song
step into the light and leave a bleak bubble.

Ink Empress October 21, 2023 at 4:00 AM “So hard i tried to forge my shield” that line itself speaks volumes to my soul dear besma! Your way with weaving thoughts and feelings is so profound and moving and has a captivating flow throughout. I absolutely love your rhymes! So sublime and creative: a word against a world gone wrong sometimes i wonder if its enough to be the symphonic voice to so many that has for long been served wrong. A chance for a poets song, to find light and embrace it all, ive had the privilege through this poem!

Silent One October 21, 2023 at 3:08 AM I see a lot of angst and emotions in your poem.. One that seems to portray an injustice or unfair actions against you.. a poet's song should always be peaceful and spread poetic love, but I guess some do not see it that way... An excellent poem. Silent One October 21, 2023 at 12:49 PM My dear sister...I think the world has always been like that Besma Riabi Dziri October 21, 2023 at 5:15 AM It is more about the world that is getting insane than me, Silent One.. The world is heading from dehumanisation to total destruction! Helpless but not hopeless I feel right now in front of the chaos and killing in the world that go beyond the limits of whys.. Absolutely unable to develop another glossary apart from the one of peace and Love.. thank you so much! Stay always blessed.. Best regards.

Paul Bell October 21, 2023 at 2:58 AM The world sure is chaotic at the moment. If mother nature doesn't kill us, we'll do it ourselves. Besma Riabi Dziri October 21, 2023 at 5:08 AM I'm afraid so! Let's hope Humanity wakes up and better the world.. thank you so much for your kind visit and rewarding feedback.. God bless you. Best regards.
