Afflicted Poems - Poems about Afflicted

Like nations many, at Central South Asian seam, With its roots in the Paleolithic time stream; Home of cultures, habitats, and martial movements, Lounge of Arab, Muslim, British, Greek amusements... Empires many, like spiders, yearned to spin in; Failed! On this graveyard of states, like cruise of pride, it sailed; Through tempests, there were Taliban-tornados too, Like bones in flesh, these turned,...

With jaundiced eye* affected by my heart I do pray for enlightened vision glow radiating truth of Scriptures’ rampart toward perspective against falsehood blow. Confessing personal biases’ blight with jaundiced eye affected by my heart I seek God’s pardon from arrogance-delight gripped by hypocrisy and conceit’s dart. Aware of preference right from the start I do admit own vested interest with jaundiced eye affected by...

Oh my ignoble mind why must you be so rueful-this sorrowful pity abject-I am not contemptible brooding-unkind contemplations. Oh my heinous conscience dare not mock me-oh the cruelty taunt me-cuts so deep bleed me-I flow dying. Oh my callous intellect why must you yet scorn me-is praise so ugly castigate me-the pain beguiling disparage me-oh your brutality! Oh my derisive aspect dare not deceive me-illusions prison betray me-my loyalty shaken delude me-my truth so...

Such feelings of afflictions inside so tense tired inside in a knot all over in every bone so stiff it just seems it falls at first shot Words were just so difficult to make the throat seemed so hoarse and tight one learns to get by with few words even although I need to really fight Every day waking up to a struggle now...

With pure intention. I longed to prove more than what became ideal. Insecurity can come from a variety of sorts. Communication through action, not only words. The value of times essence. Counting the moments it takes to come to the realization, I too was afflicted. To appreciate a woman such as her. Not to impose on exposed thighs. A factious affair that could only...

The SEVERITY of remembering her childhood brings so much sadness into her delicate heart. The clarity I wish to give her …. -oh, if only I could… -but where would I even start? Those dark brown eyes turn shades of...

The simple desire to cause yet another pain As on everyone else' parade you try to rain Always looking down at the tip of your nose For you just don't like people and it really, really shows With so much anger in your heart and evil filling up your mind You are so eager to start with the very first...

In my time of troubles I cry out to the heavens My eyes are heavy with tears My soul is afflicted with sorrows I have strayed from the path of righteousness And taken seat with the ungodly and rebellious Your words were sweeter than honey on my lips But my tongue became corrupted and uttered vile things I weep bitterly within for...

I can not imagine To live without a heart Like a car that fails to start And my head Becomes a boiling kettle Dancing with steam Like fairies from a scene Of the Midsummer Night Dream And my mind becomes uncertain Like I am blown by a whirl wind I can feel afflictions Because my world devoid of love I can feel afflictions Because I feel forsaken from above Hopeless Wandering in the wilderness of Zin With each plan failing Like I am paying a price...

My lateness once more has caused me immediate damnation, and my unstable state, a product of my lost attention. Overcoming the limitation by doing three person's work at once resulted to a failed manipulation of compressing minutes' activities into seconds just to beat time and achieve punctuality. Reaching for the door with already aggravated emotions. In self caution, I knew something was...

Causing harm to themselves and many afflictions? Have you met someone who seems to be “all right?” But chose the “dark path.” And not THE LIGHT! There’s...
