A magnificent construct, endlessly tall,
seemingly to the heavens it rose,
but no light shown...

Eleven Pm Part One
Do you know what happened
At 11 p.m Tuesday night
I guess you must have it
However much I protest-
But do you know
Of course you don’t:
The victory of ignorance
Come on! I will enlighten you
I took the bi-valve
Flung...

Where blood is not enough
Blood flows, flows, flows
Competing with Nile waters
Blood Threatens to overwhelm

The people cry, cry, cry
Yet the...

Then we bear another.
We drag our children into passport documents.
We multiply far from the bedroom
And spit on our wedding day -
never paying attention to the tears.
On the TV screen
Baghdad storms us...

The largest among the cat species

Small Minds, Average Minds, Great Minds
Small minds people’s frailties deride
Drawing comfort and report
Although average minds decide
Events to discuss in their effort
To imitate great minds
Who ideas and ideals discuss
Upfront and behind blinds
Where they fuss
On humankind greatness
Buried into ideas
Whose robustness
Fears
Nothing as they...

Spillage of helpless human blood
Lumps of life in lust for lawless illness
