Lost In Mesopotamia

The cacophony of birds
sounded like
the babble of Babylon
no terror
better describes
the faces of Babel
than Edvard Munch's
The Scream.


The All From the Past

every new tree lives
in the old seed

the old all microseconds
created the era, century, millennium

though not sure
from the Mesopotamia civilization
this I am
the human

Mathematics - Pleiades

Many clay tablets from
Mesopotamia
mark the roots of numbers.
Modern mathematics
moves beyond most minds, but
minimal mastery
makes life much easier.

Rivers

The Tigris and Euphrates,
they flow like time, 
murmuring and sighing
and running their individual courses,
cradling Mesopotamia,
their land, 
in life, 
and flooding the plain in alluvial soil,
for cities to put down deep roots,
the wonder of humanity.

The Goddess of Kindness

Your eyebrows are rainbows, your voice smells like rain
Your lips mightier than the red army,they relieve my pain
I didn't tell you, you are my breath, because of my shyness
If I'm not worthy forgive me you are the goddess of kindness
Your arms are the holy land,your hug is my Eutopia
Your eyes Tigris and Euphrates, your nose Mesopotamia
Your mouth full of shiny pearls, just if I could feel you near

Premium Member River Tigris

Tigris, Idigna, Idiqual, 
watering parched desert lands
of Mesopotamia.
Swift it flows on the East
toward the sea, from
the once fertile Garden of Eden. 
Arterial blood of arid lands, 
of transportation,
of trade and commerce.
In spring, mountain snowmelt
tumbles and rushes downward,
flooding alluvial plains for farming,
sharing its life-giving waters
from time immemorial to villages,
towns, and great cities.

Premium Member How Did We Lose

       How did we lose
          the Straits of Hormuz
       We listened to Saudi Arabia

        A country all sand
           struck up the band
        ‘Twas jealous of Mesopotamia*
