In Time of Persecution

We have not seen the sun for days
walking through the deserts
craved the breeze of the flowers
and water to beat the thirsts

we've been mistreated
we've been misunderstood
our wives were raped
and brutally our children were killed

no mercy upon us, not now not ever
we're born to be outsiders, "I dream to be free''... never!
to fly like a little bird so far
far away from the suffer

cry upon me Mary
let there be light upon us Mary
come to me, guide me through this war that questioned our humanity
set my soul free and give me wings to fly

to fly..
fly in the sky..


I saw them die one after another, die like flies
I witnessed the history of the largest genocides
blood on my hands
blood every where I go, every where my soul cries

I saw them die...
I saw them ... die!

dreams faded away, to my heart and destroyed me all
from hope to a wish ..to be ill
to die today, right here on my cold bed.. am not a fool!
but a man with a wary head. Yet I feel!

feel the heart beat
closer to my chest
touched the soul, my core ... deepest!!
beneath I ache, of what I kept in " a thousands of sacrament"

I'd sanctify the soil of my country
fought with all of my power to see you one day
just a second, when I was away my whole life,... far far away!!
to pray on the land of all heros, that I've never seen... not today
not today..

I held that dream for generations
I held it in me, in the heart of my sons and daughters
tears upon my face, my heart still burning for my holy lands
that been taken from me forcefully, in seconds!

bring me victory O Lord! bring me victroy, for my children to live in peace
and honored under the fortune's eye
of what glory will provide.. from pride
"tears upon my face"

I'd cry for you,.. for ages!
those tears will never ease the pain nor heal my injuries
Oh son! humanity was lost down the drains
who to blame? for what we've lost? we lost our souls, grounds.. around we used to play

and worst of all, the pain is still there
living inside of me
increasing day by day, thousands of years.. believe me!
as you shall hear, grant me peace...
grant me peace...

on the saddened nights
we fought the war of our lives
we lost our women, children through the conflicts
got nothing to lose, nothing to gain after.. no life nor graces!

my people I call you, by the name of our beloved land
bring it back, to the man with pride... we once had
to the man that have no fear from "the end"

we lived...
we dreamed...
we struggled...
to win the battlel, cost us everything! "everything son" we once owned!

and you tell me, yet you can smile?
you tell me, life is still good around me?
you give me hope?
how life can be pleasant when I've no land, no family, nor history to remember... yet I bleed from head to toe!

God knows to frighten and dismay the enemy
lay them under a curse for eternity
let their bodies dry from poverty
and their children to live with disgrace and fragility. (Amen)




notes:
1-I used (God), (Mary), (Lord) because the poem is presenting a whole nation with different religions, faith, and beliefs.

I'll add more notes later

Longing

There's curiosity controlling the mind
there's fear against the creed
and eager for tomorrow's deed
but surely; I'll praise thee till the end

I believe in his smile
where I found a place I can call home
and peace
a word or a look upon his face; I smile

I thought I'll never be healed
with a glance I am freed
yet as he spoke to me; I smile as I could
and 'I love' is the only word in my mind

happy at heart?
to live life to the fullest
with his presence I'll be gladly the happiest
indeed, he's the sweetest of all yet the best!

O, God hear me
a command of his to set my soul on fire
to melt over the flame
and the love that'll never change

now, I'm more joyful and I can happily sing
to the stars and whatever it could bring
of his love to overcome me, or something!
I couldn't figure but am patiently waiting

I am a little scared my dear
of a tragic loss; that's my fear
please hear!
so, you and I wont have to suffer

I weep with devastation from my cruelty
I doubted you once, and that torn me apart dramatically
mind me, once I break I say things spontaneously
but believe me, I'd never dare to hurt you purposely

if I ever did, I shall have the power to undo it
and heal every wound on your body - I must!
not break your heart apart
and when you need me I'll be by your side, no doubt!

promise you I will never fail you, not my intention
to the last breath of me I'll keep it in
or I'm undone; if you asked me to fly upon
you - the only one in my core, no confusion

now, my dear to demonstrate my feelings for you
I'll leave the decision of it all up to you
clearly, because I dearly love you
forgive my words or deeds if they've once injured you

the words seems so hard to pronounce
so, I write!
it could be my only way to say words that are sincerely true
and yet no one else matter but you to me

last words to say
in silence you may read those words of my poetry
don't refrain after and don't go away
whatever happens I'll never change but I'll definitely stay

I'll say with honor
for the world to hear
I'll love you with all I've of power
then I should leave you happy after
