i'm trying to relax here
i feel like the worlds falling off the axis
we all know where i'm from but the fact is
u think u saw a saint in the cactus
the world's killers and terrorists, suicide bombers
Osama's screaming death threats in arabic
they dont tell u about the treasure we inherited its beautiful
we got the whole world sharing with
Iraq's garden, the pyramids in Egypt,
palestinian saw the the birth place of Jesus,
Lebanon
the accomplishments of phenicians
most prophets come from these regions
Me, I try to swallow my pride but it hurts though
the vicious circle of the earth, it turns slow
sit back and let the Shishan burn slow
i need your help, ask myself where the world go
In my heart where I keep the land,
Left pocket where I keep the dove,
The artwork mean peace and love,
Dont nobody have no love
Our hearts should have frozen
Cause the people with cold blood
You don't know how freedom should taste
Its the people that face
The consequences of the leaders mistakes
We're not evil, we're people of race
Don't preach us, speak the truth so people relate
how many decades were taught for racism to fade
and now your gonna change the books
Now I need permission anywhere I lay my foot
Interrogated on the basis of the way I look
I don't need to be a psychic
Now you wanna treat us like it?
Algebra to the science, and the stars are priceless,
We helped invent life,
How they got us feel unlifeless?
awww. its wonderful. it says so much as your writing always does. i love it.
good stuff faraaz! i like
i love your writings faraaz. well done and thanks for sharing
that's nice. keep writing.
k, faraaz, crappy poetry my ass. that's the best poem i've heard in a while, and it shows you. i like. :D
Faraaz, I have read this poem, and I think it is absolutely wonderful. It shows the depth that you have in writing, and how you make the emotional things and the art work come together. This helps people like myself to understand how you and your people feel. Thanks for the writing, and keep up the good work. :)
I know I'm bringing this back from the archives, so to speak, but I just saw it. I don't normally read writer's block, but I am today.
Faraaz, as someone else said, this does indeed give more insight as to how you feel, and how other Muslims likely feel as well. You and I have had this discussion before, and this only says in a different and deeper form what you've already told me. And, also as someone else on here said, crappy poetry, my ass. We're all our own harshest critics, but surely you've been told you're a good writer enough times that you know it. Smile.
