Best Homs Poems
RefugeeBeating the midday forlorn sun
By foot they begun the journey leaving the pun
Beware of the dangers and tactics to shun
Between that time and reaching the destination without fun
Beholding the situation, carrying the bun
Before Palmyra falls, it must be done.
Holding hands the long...

Pain As a Hobby IxI need a page break
If you keep reading you’re about to catch bird flu
It’s changing seasons all around you
Sit back the words are causing your body to react
You feel like a woman going through menopause
Cold to hot
Pause for a moment
Did I ask for your opinion?
Wait!...

A Crimson Letter From AleppoFrom the dusty street of Homs I write
Head buried in ashes- white
Hopes piled up in monumental rubble
hearts engulfed in catastrophic trouble
A motherless child cries in the still
My home, a deserted paradise
Where birds wail for broken dreams ...

Syrian GraveyardUnnumbered human corpses
mutilated and spread
like illegally-shot elephants in Waza Park!
From ‘man know thyself’
to ‘man hates himself’-
humans mutilate humans!
Future-bound glorious infants,
feeble moms
and luck-abandoned dads
bombed, suffocated, shot and slain
by politico-economic drunks!
Yawning stomachs here,
blood-dripping arms there,
open-mouth frozen heads here,
rotting breasts there,
decomposing legs here…
We are in Homs,
we are in...

are the bombs in syria less deadly than ours
or are the eye's of the media aimed at what
our leaders want us to see
truly the terrorist live in terror
they sowed the wind and reaped the whirlwind...

Poetic Prognostication Proves Itself Pathetic Pablum Part OneDespite countless factorial permutations

My Poetic JourneyWen I was jest a litl boy
An a pensil was mi toy
I likd to rit poms
An did mi best … homs
As a teenager
I began to revolt
I got an attitude
To the man I was rude
My writing was crude
I experimented
Adults were demented
I took a position
Refused to listen

In the ugly streets of Homs I lied on my back snipers´ fire hit
walls and filled my nose with cement dust and the horrid
smell of early death, the aftermath of abused young men
who have only murder and agony as a leading light to...

Coming of Age In AmericaAt age sixteen you can drive a new car
Although you can't enter (most) taverns or bars
At sixteen you can even drop out of school
If that's who you really think you are
At age eighteen you can legally cast a...

Last NightQuarter past two
out to the loo.
Back into bed
laying my head
thoughts come to mind
worries to find.
Over I turn
but still they return.
All out of sorts,
why do these thoughts
infect and spread
beyond my head?
Stretching my ham
I'm seized with cramp.
Now in a sweat
from pain and threat,
when will its grip
release me...

The ThingThe things of which we cannot speak
Make us become we cannot say
The thing brought back from yesterday
That praised the strong and crushed the weak
That thing whose name we cannot name
That fathers fought to keep at bay
The thing we thought had gone away
Now clothes our...
