Best Afghans Poems

Look past
the faded little girl    braids and bows 
in a       polaroid picture
buttery yellow skirt 
curtsying     a smile
frog prince 
imprisoned      in her palm
under a creamy pound cake ...

Here in violence and in beauty, living under the same moon
The beauty is so ancient, but the present violence here consumes
On one hand Afghanistan is all that it appears
Insurgents here are so deadly; through the land they spread fear
But a turn of that coin, would...

THINGS WITH STRINGS

Spider's web, strings of stars,
a weaver's loom, and old guitars.
Balls of yarn, and DNA,
string bikini, and crochet.

Cats cradle, spools of thread,
Tails on kites, and hairs on head.
Theory in music, or in science,
together making a string alliance.

Yo-yo, and Pinocchio, 
harp, violin and cello.
Catgut bow,...

I would like to see the sun again
So, I can slowly remember when
Your kindness lit up the room
Instead of wet, black trees of gloom

The rain has drenched the forest
Stolen the sunset from the west
Now, it must begin to dry
So, that I can remember why

You sang...

Political leaders take countries to war,
making decisions that are political, 
done to ensure they are voted for, 
domestic approval and nothing more. 

Biden couldn't have got it more wrong,
clearly this President is a total moron, 
it doesn't matter how long it's gone on, 
you don't...

The Al-Qaeda is a blatant lie,
Are all Muslims terrorists and spies?
Eyes shift from the black man,
Now fixed on them Afghans,
But in war harmless people die....

Your village will 
have wells
Well-equipped water-
supply
My village connected 
to the town.
I shall be employed
And teaching poetry 
and plays
In a college.
China will leave 
claiming Ladakh,
Issues of Arunachal 
and Lama, settled.
Kashmir shall be 
again a kingly state,
Chenab to Chin ,K2 
and Pirpanchal;
And India, Pak, 
Bejing 
be friends,
Sure...

PREAMBLE
------------
What I witnessed on October 7 was indefensible. Just to be clear, Hamas are not militants or freedom fighters as many in the mainstream media would have you believe - they are terrorists. Israel is not the ancestral homeland of the people who live in...

twenty one soldiers waited their fate
twenty one soldier's ready to defend
would give up their lives in the call
to keep the fort....not let it fall

the afghans invaded in great strength
the valiant sikh soldiers gave their all
sikhs in total killed 600 men ..gave their lives
when they answered...

Aussie Flag o the Convict spawn


 
Under this flag we fought for sure,
 defending Pommy gits and more, 
defending of our nation, 
in murderous situations, 
tween Afghans and the Boer...

we'd run it up the old flagpole,
fluttered there our heart and soul,
the Aussies are on station,

Uncontrollable frenzy the moment I set out for the wool market
Ecstatic madness losing the teeny heart to bagfuls of double knit
Every year newer hues and textures in my over loaded box beds do warmly fit
My soul flies to the heavens on their strings as I...

Memories, someone asked?
Here’s one. Let me pull it out from the past,
Let me set it next to the grandfather clock in the parlor,
That used to count out time in chimes by the hour.
Mother is sitting in the corner armchair,
As if she had all the time...

Given as a gift from Germany to Kabul zoo in Afghanistan 
No fields to run in - just a miserable enclosed barren land
 
You were blessed with a beautiful lioness partner, Chucha
She must have made you feel no less than a majestic Shah 
 
You...

Sweet memories folded inside Grandma's quilts and afghans
A cedar chest of forgotten trinkets caressed in my hands

This treasure trove holds a young girls dreams of love
A drop in Heaven's showers raining from above

Every drop gathers love from the garden bestowing affection
She wonders will she vaporize...
