Tears in Gaza
The wives wail for their fallen husbands' embrace, The children's tears fall on their mothers' lifeless face, Men beg for mercy from soldiers in the fray, I weep, powerless to save them from this dismay. Displaced and far from home, Amidst the rubble, they're forced to roam. Decaying remains of neighbors near, A haunting sight that fills hearts with fear. It's not just...

War on happiness
Cries of humanity Cries of war War that kills War imposed upon kids Kids as pure as a Mother’s love Kids with million dreams Dreams that are shattered Dreams destroyed by weapons Weapons unleashed on living beings Weapons that spare not even trees Trees that make the air clean Trees look pleasing to the eyes Eyes which are blinded Eyes that can’t see the...

Should Vacuuming Be Listed As Full-Time Occupation
Is it any wonder that nobody likes vacuuming the floor, Mention the word vacuum and there is a rush for the door. Reading a newspaper or a woman's magazine is a dangerous occupation, If the vacuuming has not been done.

Premium Member The Poet
”He is a Poet”, It was said of him. And so they sought in proof a poem, made alone for them. A tome for all the ages, every eye, and every ear. Words of witness dedicating prose, to those would hear. So he complied. Rolled up his muscled sleeve of thought and pounding words like blacksmith sought, to swing...
