Short Motherland Poems

Trump held a Bible in his hand
(A book he does not understand)
He took an oath
Yet betrayed both
The people and his motherland...

Swallows migrate South...
dark birds in a starless sky
mourning motherland.

She weeps
The widowed motherland
This country bleeds
The stupid jacob zuma years
Then azania dreams no more

Azania:the afro-centric name of south africa...

the stiff clouds 
still 
wringing their hands, but
hearing your sweet voice,
through
the motherland
where
the 
colorful seagulls
flap their long wings
over dry land...

Each day I awake
Safe in your embrace
Spellbound again
By your beautiful face
Where I see my dreams traced 
In a magical place
North America –
My motherland
Lady of grace...

Then land of rivers is my motherland –
I love her greenery even her sand!

In every season she wears a new dress
And of course she changes her mood to impress!

Her air of villages is so fresh
Anyone will love my Bangladesh!...

I am made of mango, peaches and lime.
Mango for the motherland I come so sweetly from
Peach for my compassion and endless supply of love
Lime because I am sour with a twist-
I’ll kiss my knuckles before throwing my fist....

Impressive rich culture,
Intense architecture,
imbibe a sense of pride,
Ideation trumpets.
Intrepid patriots
indeed for motherland,
in vivid colours smile.

To think of the days that are still to come,
Where counts one’s heart in this narrow world,
The sun has set and lights grow dim.
Here falls the night there goes my day;
But I, a prey have illusions to form,
Of the bitter core in my motherland....

The play has reached its climax.
The spectators are getting frightened.
O hero, it's high time you came to kill the villains;
it's high time you rescued your motherland;
it's high time you declared loudly:
'O mother, my soil, don't cry more
because I've returned.'...

A child collects some sand with hand
And so he calls it "motherland".

To some sand, castles are built high
Flowers are grown for dewy morn
Flags are furled in cloudy sky
But by fort's flag the flower's forlorn.

Children gather some sand with hands
And so they call it "motherlands"....

The profoundest love that is ever made
Is the love of motherland, dears
That makes us bold and brave, 
And waves off all our fears, 
It turns men into humankind, 
And they reason of their creation find
Love of land infuses in them celestial breath
Which keeps them alive even after death....

Hidden spirits motherland,
    destructions chosen horror.
Decayed barren grounds,
   ravaged territories dilapidation.
Debris leftover magnetic fields,
   crawls nuclear poisons contamination.

Ending the life of the innocents   
Both sexes and ages you destroy, to
Offer widows and inconsolable orphans;
Lamentation and mourning to my motherland

Thinking about the past 
I used to fly in the sky
Dedicated my vivacity   
To serve the motherland 
Through tough, silly, 
Joyful days along the way

Only history left in memory
Old man and his quality
If bad karma has been created
People must be unhappy, 
Worried and angry
Will decry inside my coffin...

i will stand above the industry
hold, surpass all infantry
ride into my battles
on a chariot of gold

rising to the gilded plain
racing through the pouring rain
holing up my mother's flag
a country lost and cold

pausing not to catch my breath 
give me liberty or give me death
take me to the motherland-
my story must be told!...

I feel you, as in some place mate's fare
that falling waters penetrating share,
fall purposely as from thy kinship's care
a motherland, a father, and a bear.

Breaks even to my heart at eventide
and all about me art could not collide
from promises, faith's ransomed soul's abide
still knowing you are comfort to my side!...

And in our old mirror- our reflection- our rebellion and battle scars-unseen,

And through our window- a world washed Red- all the pain and loss suffered,

The Motherland- our home- beyond these bricks a house washed in white,

Reflections always of the lost souls of our people- our struggles- our memories,

Sleep now....

Faraway from my motherland
Blend with the alien bands
I feel sad and lonely
My native language flees 

In different horizon I stay
The sorrow stings nights and days
With dull and deaden sense
My homesick is immense

In a strange space I stay
Think to the birth-land faraway
The sweet voice of my mother
Echoes in my heart over and over...

There is an effective hunter
he hunts with no weapon
but captures with precision
and enjoys his catch  in tones
disciplined mathematician he is
every meal and  bones he keeps
skulls of prey he weighs daily
any stubborn animal in the bush
is invited to check the stock
and record census of victims
that were sent laughing away
inside dreaded motherland...

JUST AUGUST 

       The glorious month of August:
       Just to remind Independence Day
       of my motherland India on fifteenth.
       Fourteenth is the birthday of my sister of heart.
      I must mention tenth of the month!
      Birthday of my special son
      not by law but by emotion.

The world welcome you
You're free to travel globally
But we always see only the best
And overlook the worst
We admire others
We forget our love
Travel is only for leisure
Knowledge and experience
And not for a living shelter
There are racism and foreigness everywhere
And so let's appreciate 
What we've already possessed
Our beloved motherland and our families...

Owned by all
Yet trusted to one
For the benefit of all

Why then so scraggy
Like a road side beggar
Has he failed to make you baggy?

Because he hated our interest
Isn’t our motherland the trustee
Our birthright the interest

The kids he keeps selfishly
Thinking we were all blind
To see the specie all around
You are breaching our trust
Do not make us distrust...

Don't sleep dear friends
In diaspora and  motherland 
When you see injustice 
on the head of Mama Africa.
Don't keep quiet
like some people who quitted
struggles because their demands 
had been heard 
and answered. 
Now they start living quite well. 
opening your eyes and 
Continue to quote true  messages
 which touch hearts of millions
 people in the World.
