Long Amin Poems

? Previous12 3 456…28Next ?
A lament of Love? and Loss
In the silence, I hear your voice,
A whispered reminder, of my foolish choice.
I was blind to your needs, and deaf to your pain,
And now I'm left...

Perhaps being something of a contrarian and historian
I like to spend Sunday mornings playing American Top Forty reruns on the oldies station
because I enjoy the songs and stories related to me by Kemal Amin Kasem

Was not every one a child?
Joy to their mother and father
And growing up as a kid
With wonder and laughter

Then they go to school 
Playing games having fun
And become a voice for others
When they don’t have...

America, so vast and the land of the free
Brazil, carnivals and beach beauties

Canada, untouched, with the mighty Niagara Falls
Denmark, with the mermaid, luring sailors with her call

Egypt, under Cleopatra, and her historical power

Perfection and pain.
We are yours when you
Believe you’re...

God, only to you I bow, you’re my King;
And for me, there will be no other king.

Then there's Moses, the saintly lawgiver

Salamat po, Ka Eduardo,
Sa inyo pong pagmamahal;
Inaakay n’yo ang tao
Patungo sa bayang banal.

Kahit mapagod, mapuyat
Ay hindi n’yo alintana;
Ang mahalaga'y matupad
Ang tungkulin n’yo sa Ama.

Ang Iglesia’y tinitipon
Sa lahat halos ng dako;
Panganib ay sinusuong,
Iniikot itong mundo.

How Much Vengeance Is Enough?

By Mark D. Stucky
How much bloody carnage and rubble
is required to atone for sins of a few?
How many eyes must be gouged
to extract desired justice?
If wronged, is exchanging one eye enough?

THE PHARAOHS

JOHN M. ARRIBAS

		


It wasn’t the Pharaohs that ruled the Nile
It was the priests that sanctioned  their style
As long as the Pharaoh kept playing ball
The priests insured that he’d never fall
To make him acceptable...

Black folk kept in sad condition
By owners without contrition.
What to do, what to do?
Wage war for emancipation
And forge a fresh slave-free nation.

Surely are the ones you should stow –
What to...

Roars the dictator with rage

'I'm free and have my choice'
So I do not obey this court
Which judicial norms...

As you destroyed the homes of civilians,
Destroying villages with indiscriminate bombing,
Displacing hard-working families by the millions?

In cold blood ordinary folks only trying to...

Religious ritual’s call
requires it’s rules we recall,
thereby addressing our mind,
praying in a patterned grind.

Affirmations as belief
offers our soul no relief,
as yet barren without love,
head and heart not hand in glove.

We’re divided in God’s name,
although His...

Watch out for that ideology
Bad effects on your psychology
It bleeds into our sociology
‘Til we hate one another’s biology

Let’s make a pact
To get our facts together
Have no ideology

Tinataningan nang kumunoy ng oras
Sinusubok kung hanggang saan ang antas, 
Minsa'y nahahapo ang katawang lupa
Subalit puso'y pigil…ayaw madapa.

Nasasaksak minsan sa may gawing puso
Amin kong dinar'ma sampo nito mahal, 
'Di na bali...
