Rolling down the windowpane
But it can write your name...

Illiterate games are my favorite
I’d rather you don’t speak to me
In words whispered
Talk to me totally tacitly 
You’re so cute when you’re quiet...

I feel that I am illiterate
At times I can’t get my words to fit
Am I stupid
A lost eyelid
Tired, I don’t think my mind can make it

i am illiterate-
inconsiderate
scum. my blood
is running rum,
my tears are acid
leaving burns 
down my face.
words curse, rapid
force of a mind
unlearned....

To be literate makes us cock of the hoop. 
If we cannot read we’re out of the loop,
but can a slowpoke,
and illiterate folk,
learn to read eating alphabet soup....

Questioning the way God made the world is like an illiterate criticizing Einstein's theory of Relativity

Human life is a poem,
written in the eyes,
engraved in the lips,
sensed by the nose,
hidden in the heart,
easily read by children,
children so illiterate
but so wise, so sensitive...

Learn without learning
to unlearn,
it's dangerous... 
it's living
without knowing why...
because illiterate 
is that one
who learned to read and write,
but unlearn to relearn... !...

When I saw him enter,
an illiterate, I surmised
(one you may despise)

But he spoke some words
about the drug he wanted…

He changed my mind.
Pharm argued no further.

We learnt a lesson....

lay you on a bed of roses
and show you all i knowses
sure you top it like a bow
but quiet for my broses
leave me coming back for more
watch as my door closes
waiting for you by the shore
poetry composes...

There the ancient stones and the pyramids
survey the Roman and Greek temples

silly left us worshiping now the illiterate beggars
Mohammed and Jesus 

leaving us the fruit of their labour
nothing but foolish dreams

and the gun...

specks on a page
whorls
loops
squiggles
dashes


writing means the world to some
nothing to others

readers
writers
dreamers
thinkers
living in a world

unimaginable and unattainable
to those who can’t
the illiterate...

We with our ancient stones
and oh the magnificent pyramids 
survey the Roman and Greek temples

Silly left us worshiping now the illiterate beggars
Mohammed and Jesus 
Leaving us the fruits of their labour

Nothing but hate and confusion !...

A rose bloomed.
A poem written in buds.
It offered its arms, illiterate to whats been written. 
It fell asleep. A garden in thought.
Slipping from the ledge it grew.
In REM it whispered.
Wake me when we land.
For I will have acheived my dream...

In the field across from me,
a sign as plain as it can be.
“Oats planted for the birds”, I read.
The flying geese pay it no heed,
and spying a stand of winter wheat
they settle on that crop to eat.
It’s testament to the absurd
a farmer puts up a sign for birds....

Truth-less belief is true illiteracy; 
Belief-less truth is ignorance!

But the conscience and rationalism
hates only illiteracy not the ignorance! 

So what’s the ignorance! 
Oh! I ignore all blind believers but I'm not illiterate!

You are my shadow,
If I am without you,
That's me in darkness.

You are a flower,
With beauty and fragrance,
Me as cactus in desert.

You are a butterfly,
Swings ups and downs,
Worm first of yours.

You are my childhood,
Illiterate but full of happiness,
Can't bring you back....

She is ugly and fierce
She is poor and illiterate
She is haughty and impatient

But she is the woo of a man,
Who gave me rock and suck
When that was all I knew
When that was all I wanted
When that was all I needed

My mother, she is
And there is nothing,
Nothing, you can do
about it!...

Bin Hooks Are Gulab
Lub them are awesome

Those pink bowls
Sweet wine

Silver-like
Two diamonds are big

Nisha is settled in sliver
There is a math on the forehead

In love
An illiterate book

Such as his husn
The simplicity is the hijab

Since it has been
Heart condition is bad...

Know, I know
Nothing is what I write

I know better
I don't know anything about what I write

But, this illiterate ungovernable feeling will decay
If I write nothing

Everything I have will die, I will die
Whatever I write, if I stop it

And, yes, so I write

President Donald Trump
Such an illiterate insane grump
With taxpayer's money he lines his pockets
He needs to pay more attention to North Korean Rockets

I am so poetic in my mind
But when I try to write
And let the word and emotion flow
Nothing seems to come; just go
I am left with nothing but confusion
As to why I am so illiterate
But I manage to bounce back
Be it a masterpeice or life changing story.
God gave me this gift 
And for that I thank him....
