Nazam'e Gamma- The Ottoman Nightfall

 Poem Gamma- The Ottoman Nightfall....


As the sun once drew anew, its phase now last, a glorious zenith well past, driven into the horizon, bloody and sunken...
The times deciduous, it's men drunken...
An empire fallen into the decadence of dependence, failing to regain any sense of semblance...
She cries in remembrance for her silhouette has lost all resemblance....
It weighs on our chests more than a ton to see this eclipsed sun...
In it's shadows, a pestiferous festering!
It's roots of corruption now taking hold, the sultan's courtly viziers cheaply sold and mujahideen dying in darkness and cold...
By its leisures allured, the world over have we toured...
I say with certainty a story often untold, such a mould cast can never again be poured and since its collapse, this seething sorrow can not be cured...

TP- Jets over Jerusalem

     Jets over Jerusalem Part-1 بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم  O' People of Rabat, harken to hear a story most dear, of Al-Quds' Ribat... Whilst the clever consequentialist checks off his never ending list, His prayer poised without flare, only hypocrisy's flair... Verily, their speech most measured, elated & eloquent yet how so unfair!  Hell's herder only takes these flocks, their hearts in locks, to lecher & lust's lair.... Their silencing muzzle leave the land of Quds to rivers of blood, guzzle.... These times forecast a vast overcast, its dark shades... The truth how rarely spoken, we'd now need hearing-aids! To these widows' wades! O' their wailing wades! Burrow beneath this sorrow, find ye seeds to survive these weeds, this night's new 'morrow! Men of an upright spine, it's prolific marrow! Their foreheads dusted yet destined to shine! An arrow away from firdaus, to dance and dine! These are the souls of salvation, Ahle Quds;

The Grand Forest of Tomorrow

 The Grand Forest of Tomorrow Sandals of stone, till brim and bone... Candles to atone, all grim and alone... All my why's slip away, all shy and bye... Could I but cry, those tears now dry... I look sky high, those fears now fly... Try as I, trouble and truffle, my very lie... Her lunar eclipse scuffled, my son's sun muffled... For my trifle, they all now stifle... A pin to my chin and head held to a rifle! They fail to flail my skin, so weld by lead, none to take his stead!  They pontificate all pompous, but they lay upon the bay of pompeii!  Much to my dismay do I say, you have lost your way, far away and astray... Into Vesuvius' volcanic depth you lept, morality cleft all asunder... Will you still not surrender? Or wish ye' to be her ashtray?

TP- Slithering in a Sandstorm

  Poem 13- Slithering in a Sandstorm   How many volts of static shock? How many vaults with hearts in lock? How many talk only to mock! Astray do they all walk! Like a pigeon's eyes shut 'fore the cat's pounce, left not a shred of honor nor dignity, not even an ounce.... We'd rather pretend than our ways mend... Every carnage courting carnival and flagrancy fueled festival, every Halloween party and Christmas dinner must we at our own gunpoints, attend... Dearest friend, listen close for the information I am about to disclose runs deeper than its poetic prose... For the silent sentinel, no longer sentimental, barely stands watering this graveyard's lone rose.... This advise only can I afford to lend, the Qur'ān must ye read, this I recommend! And yet again, I recommend! Unveil then its cosmic secrets once revealed, ever revered... Its saves from an abysmal edge, any downtrodden on shaytaan's sledge... Hold fast onto it lest in division, ye then l
