Back To the Jungle

Might is always right in the state of terrorism
Might is always right in the state of barbarism
Might is always right in the state of animals
We have lost peace and rest
Is this a punishment or test?

One Sided Coin

A one-sided coin 

When Germany was invaded and ruined
every German claimed they knew nothing
of the atrocities against the Jew.
The same thing will happen to Israel and
her people will say they knew nothing
about the barbarism committed against
 the Palestinians.

Stop Lying

Stop telling diversities
Once you praise uniformity.

Stop telling differences
Once you look forward to similarity.

Stop telling civilizations
Once you be quiet to barbarism.

Stop being sky
Once you draw religion symbol in it.

Stop being earth
Once you sow seeds of race on it.

Stop lying!

A Journey

From the Womb of Mother 
To Arms of Beloved

From Cradle of Love 
To Loneliness of Grave

From vast Baron Lands 
To Sky-rise Cities of metal

From Frail of Toddler 
To Valiancy of Maturity

From Gore of Barbarism 
To Refinement of Civilization

From the Saints of Divinity
To Leaders of Power

From Infidel of Darkness 
To Beloved of God

Truthfulness

truthfulness
the out dated word

this is the wild forest
here live animals

barbarism there is fabricated
as civilized

hungry belly dies on hungry;
greedy rich lives on diet
according to physician prescription

truth is bastard child of wicked enjoyment!
where lie is legal insemination of bonded love!

oh! truth has no right to live independently
in this poisonous ruling world!

Isms

we all believe in realism,

some agree with Darwinism,

have all life forms evolved,

most problems unsolved,

some see life through a prism,

erupting into barbarism,

killing of young and old,

In such ways that leave us cold,

Communism capitalism fascism,

defined ideologies of demonism,

tribal leaders our minds they Mould,

to exaggerate their paper gold,

let's remove the shackles of skepticism,

our outlook must be optimism.

Premium Member Our Games Define Us

Our games define us, who we are
    by which ones are most popular

  First comes football, all blood and gore*
    #1 with those who long for war

  Then there's basketball, the 'city game' 
     for ghetto-dwellers, a path to fame

  Last and least, poor tennis
    long the 'gentleman's game'
  
  Of late reduced to barbarism
    grunts and shouts ~ through a racial prism

That Barbarism

Man, you know, started his life
As a barbaric with strife
Living in the jungles
And killing other creatures
But slowly 
He turned to be
A so called civilized person
But what for his stream of blood
That have come from the
Same uncivilized character
That he could not fully
Keep himself away from the barbarism
Which causes
All the fights, crimes
Whether acute or prime
Wars and struggles
And with this severe picture
He will destroy his own future
Can this barbarism
He leave ever

Befallen

Mouth of the orange-flavored lollipop
Hands of the bicycle on the yard
Eyes of the doll playing days
Saw nothing
But easy death snatched the child

Piles of tears
on the red valleys of corpses 
prayed the naked pact of
The world weapon business!

Nobody dies but
the hearts of barbarism
on the worried thrones
to save the truth of Scriptures

Humanity or civilization
The Dome of the Rock or the life
Now in the befallen wish of God

Peace Or Piece

Is there any place for underworld in islamic state?
Why acts of barbarism are common in Pakistan?
Does the word Islam mean peace or submission?
How angels are different from ghosts technically?
What are the benefits of worshipping the Lord?
What are the beliefs and practices of Islam?
What are the odds of a religious person?
Who guided the rightly guided caliphs?
Why every religion has a god Literally?
What are the components of religion?
How Islam is a superior religion?
