Syria Poems

The Boy from Syria
Made me think about life and hysteria 
The Boy from Syria 
Smiled and left me shocked 
The Boy from Syria 
Can not afford a bicycle, I didn't say I had a car
The Boy from Syria
Had not found...Read More

Emerald Ireland looks great. 
I want to go. 
Syria was once beautiful before the war. 
Racing bikes are as cool as jet fighters. 
Look at the Isle of Man TT and Le Mans 24hr endurance bike races. 
Breathtaking like any...Read More

Oh, to move to Ethiopia
  Or maybe Eritrea
And if they hadn't changed the name
  I'd move to North Rhodesia

There's a bit of heaven in Pakistan
  Or the balmy life in Turkmenistan
But why move there when calls to...Read More

Play with your dolls
sing and dance.
The world is small
the time is passable
the war will be over
and you will be over
and you will live for longer
in peace
in your own country.
You can go to school
you will have a good life
as any other...Read More

A Remnant of War

Here I am,
A remnant of war,
Here I lay, broken and riddled with arrows and acrimony
As I watch the birds fly away with my bloodied eyes. 

The sky is as grim as the reapers
Who unleashed hell on us,
Ambushing...Read More

We live in a world where world leaders do what they want
Shoving nationalism down our throats here there and everywhere
From Putin the Dog’s Neo Soviet adventures in Ukraine and Syria

To President Trumpton’s use of American weapons like toys
Via England and...Read More

The towers tumbled on 9/Eternal
“Let’s get ‘em soon. Hit while the iron’s hot!
How to sell? Weapons mass and infernal!
We’ll show pics inflaming! Saddam you’re caught!”
Decades later, “Who wanted endless war?”
Fog Horn and Crumpling Paper made the call
When the check came...Read More

We sense the sacred in these peaceful walls
Yet men have died in places that appal
Women too and children then unborn
Fell  into  cold dark earth in lands forlorn

As our weapons grow, our hearts are hard
The people live in Gaza...Read More

“Deep, deep, deep. Listen and hear our faint gait.
Sanitation, fluorescent lights, and a PC pillow for smother.
Agree! Agree! Atone! Suck it in and suff-o-cate.
White-ness. Black. Ev’ry creed, faith, and color. Listen to Nanny State and call her your mother.”

A wilting...Read More

Did my pain first waltz through blue-white arches of Ugarit?

Or was it brewed in the stone cauldrons of a nameless desert city?

Were the wounds on my skin a form of starry cuneiform?

My brother Osiris, my husband Osiris,

Your club and your...Read More

Read about a horrendous 
attack on homeless people 
near where I live 
Watching TV I see 
images of brutality in 
Yemen, Syria, and in Hong Kong and South America 
Is humanity all it was cracked up to be 
By the...Read More

They are still fighting in the Mideast 
Jews killing Arabs and Arabs killing Jews 
Civil wars in Yemen and Syria 
lead  to the death of children
Will out poems change people's hearts? 
Let us pray they do 
A litle optimism...Read More

.........The Belly Dancer.........

Stood beside her teacher on the stage.
Young, brunette. Hip hugger magenta 
jeans and a short bandana shoulder 
less top...
Her young heart leapt with dreams of 
dancing fame.
Shoes were forbidden, just her
beautiful feet showed.
And heavy finger cymbals from Syria

She imagined...Read More

Nowhere Else To Go

Welcome to Israel: Land of Hope! 1
(The land of Zion and Jerusalem.) 2
Where prophets walked and prophesied
For their God, our God;
The God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob. 3

And the Lord spoke to Abram and he obeyed,
And sojourned...Read More

The Devil Knows 
Revenge is sweet and best served against Russians. Or so ISIS/Daesh thinks. They claim to have blown up a Russian airliner with a bomb. Over two hundred dead. An American satellite saw the flash from space. There...Read More

Soccer Match
And so we've finally reached midnight, 
The question was, why did it take so long?
Now the forces of war and darkness are ready for evenfall.

The nuclear clock ran out of time.

It started when Turkey carried out their threat.
They shot...Read More

Arose a man of might and sleight
   From the Russian heartland
He gives the world quite a fright

First he conquered Georgia
   Then he took Crimea
He's a foothold in Iran and Syria

Seen in the woods
I saw a white raven, and they are rare
Sitting on a tree branch, it had blood on its chest
Of the sparrow, it had eaten.
I could have been mistaken perhaps it was 
A cardinal sitting on a bough...Read More

How fast life goes! How slow we feel! 
When someone dear leaves us for real.
How hard it gets! How tough the deal! 
If they're sublime and have ideals. 
They pay so much and beat ordeals.
Their names spread and shake regimes.
They...Read More

torn middle eastern attire
an orphaned heart on fire
houses turn to rubble
gotta bomb them on them on the double
who wiped the mossad prints off nine eleven
every body knows angels cries from seven to eleven
our hell is the wrong side of your...Read More

Sinai Campaign, 1967

Operation ‘Focus’ sees Israeli jets streaking,
Attacking Arab Migs and air force bases,
Attaining dominance over Middle East skies:
While IDF ground divisions launch into position.

Israeli tanks blitzkrieg Arab defenses,
(Pattons, Shermans and Centurions);
Cloud sands bellow in their wake unfurl,
The ‘Star of...Read More

I am in my newly adopted Green Sanctuary
enjoying our communal celebration
of all things nutritionally healthy

When the ecofeminist facilitator announces
it is now our time to light three candles of hope.

She invites our Greek chorus
to speak these candles' brightening intention.
Various voices give...Read More
