Besma Riabi Dziri Poet Monorhyme

Motherland, My Love Is Fine And Grand

A pity I couldn't comprehend
What is happening to my homeland?!
Utter disarray harming my stand
Lives in the clutches of evil hands
The paths we are to walk have no ends
Face demons or bury heart in sand
Bend to the will, the risk in the wind!
To whom would I spill my reprimand?
Motherland, my love is fine and grand
My words of ivory wrap your land
On your sole soil, souls grow and expand
A pity I couldn't comprehend
What is happening to my homeland?!
In cage, dreaming of a promised land
On my life, you have the upper hand
My words if you feel and understand
My pain if you heal and put an end
Rise to a dare and hold a whip hand
The beast took hold of my fairyland
Reins of reign seized by anarchy bands
The world of lies, my ink couldn’t stand
The rain of words beyond my pen's hand
Homeland, if only you apprehend
To your turmoil I can't be offhand
Forgive my passion to a twin land
World of Ivory, my wonderland!

Paul Callus January 21, 2019 at 10:52 AM I can feel the emotional output which you inserted in these passionate lines of yours, Besma. The whole world seems to be going crazy; hate and greed for power are taking the upper hand; peace and love swept aside to accommodate abusers! But let us not lose hope. I believe in justice, and hopefully all will reap what they sow. ~ Warm regards // paul Besma Riabi Dziri January 21, 2019 at 12:11 PM Indeed, Hope is that solid link to life! Faith in God and belief in justice are also strengthening and sustaining.. thank you so much, Paul, for your insightful and kind words. Always a great delight to read your uplifting and supportive comments. Best regards. God bless you.

Silent One January 19, 2019 at 9:00 AM A very sad reality of life Besma, how sad these crimes happen in todays world, sadly it is greed and money talks, rather than the welfare of others.. Besma Riabi Dziri January 19, 2019 at 10:08 AM Indeed, and we are the ones who suffer most! Having a deeper awareness of the troubles and chaos infecting the whole world plus the bitter feeling of unwillingness... Always a great delight and an honour to have you on my page Silent One. Thank you so much. My deepest regards and Blessings.

Jennifer Proxenos January 18, 2019 at 9:24 AM Besma, my dear soul sister, I have missed you - glad to see you back. As usual a poem which your heart and soul have urged you you to write - wonder words, but evil spirits lurk - they will pay one day! Unfortunately it is money and greed that spins this evil, lucrative business, probably rich politicians and multi billionaires who for them is not enough, they want still more and the innocents have to suffer. Lots of love - exquisite poetry my dear Besma. Poetry hugs, Jennifer. Besma Riabi Dziri January 19, 2019 at 10:01 AM I'm grateful to you for your lovely presence, your sincere and elating words. My warmest wishes. Love and hugs. Besma Riabi Dziri January 19, 2019 at 9:59 AM Dearest Jennifer and soul sister, I'm here and there.. swaying from the pleasures of a passion to the duties of a vocation! I'm trying to keep up with the gripping beauties of PS! Missed you too dear Jennifer.. what is happening outside urged the inside to surface into words my avid readers, to my immense pleasure, do feel and appreciate!

Vijay Pandit January 17, 2019 at 3:56 PM So elegantly you wrote a tribute to your homeland! Passionate words speak of pain and dysfunction, as you wish for things to get better. I feel a sense of resignation for no one can fight the evil power. Your poem is a FAVE for me..as it speaks to your pride for the nation. An excellent write, Besma. Besma Riabi Dziri January 19, 2019 at 9:19 AM You do feel my words.. indeed a mixture of pride, love, pain, disappointment, anxiety, unwillingness.. dispersing over my whole soul and reaching my pen.. thank you so much dear Vijay, for being always here to read, appreciate and fave my humble words.. always grateful to you for the great pleasure you bring with each honourable presence and sincere feedbacks. My deepest regards. Blessings.

Tom Cunningham January 17, 2019 at 3:36 PM There is so much evil in our world today Besma, much from evil doers in the name of religion but what religion is that, that condones evil acts. True religion is about love and respect for fellow human beings whatever their beliefs. Well written. Tom. Besma Riabi Dziri January 19, 2019 at 9:00 AM Soothing words of insight and beauty Tom.. I would like to thank you for your continuous support and encouragement.. Grateful to you for honouring my humble poetry by your gracious presence and sincere appreciations.. My deepest regards and Blessings.
