Serengeti

...The night 
        African 
             Wild
On the Serengeti plains 
              A pride of lions 
Hunting under the cover 
                    Of darkness 
         Their keen senses 
  ...

Poisonous Ideologies

...Stalin cared nothing for his people 
Mao Zedong was likewise 
Cruel and brutal tyrants 
Who slaughtered millions of their own people. 

And now let those who espouse the ideals 
Of communism, m...

Laughter

...He impregnated the silence 
       With laughter 
       Simple, effusive 
Loud and contagious laughter.

Time

...Should time eradicate all my fears and doubts 
The painful memories of my troubled past 
The cruel and biting words from unfriendly mouths 
And grant inner peace and contentment at last, 
Should ...

Hell

...Condemned to a place of darkness 
Beneath the molten surface of the earth 
Full of wailing screams and cries, utter distress 
Of wretched souls tormented by the second death, 
Conscious of all th...

To Shakespeare

...Was his spirit destined to write 
The great poet crafting his verse 
Words of beauty and profound insight 
That time and posterity should rehearse, 
Was it the power of his imagination 
Creating...

Biology

...It's a scientific fact 
That biology is an empirical source of truth 
And no amount of ideological attacks 
Will ever change that.

Distant Longing

...Have all the water fountains run dry
Is the land desolate forever 
And what of that great city Jerusalem 
Mount Zion, the habitation of our God.

Visitation

...I don't remember if the invitation 
Came late at night or early in the morning, 
If I arrived by carriage 
Or if I made my way on foot 
To the palace entrance, 
If the royal guards escorted me i...

Said Before

...Said before 
Wasted words 
Nothing more 
Alone now 
In the silence 
In the darkness 
Nightfall 
Day's end
Life's end 
Consigned to the grave 
Said before 
Wasted words 
Nothing more

Death Is a Monster

...Death is a monster 
With a thousand arms 
A thousand legs 
A million eyes 
A huge cavernous mouth 
Filled with black broken teeth,
Death is a monster.

Moment

...In this temporal, fleeting moment 
Who can think of eternity?

Little Frog

...Yes, little frog 
You were floating downstream 
On the surface of a giant leaf
Carried along by the swift current 
Navigating your way around 
The thick forrest of weeds 
And through the dense ...

Awakening

...In the thick fog of dawn 
Everything is unclear 
Dull and overcast 
I awaken, drowsy, half-asleep 
And enter into the day, 
The earth is new
The trees, the sky
The distant panorama 
The surro...

Poetry

...But poetry has its own voice 
Sometimes loud and clear 
Like a lion roaring in the jungle 
Crying out against injustice 
Oppression, tyranny and fear, 
Sometimes quiet and gentle 
Like a whispe...
