MIRROR OF HOPE
Woke up this morning with the voice’s whispers in my ears
led me to that mirror
I saw humans brothers and sisters
I saw the wars everywhere
I saw the strong eating the weak
I saw friend betrays his friends
and I saw racism still stand tall between us
terrorists menacing everywhere
where is the bright future for us?
I’m not the messenger
I’m not an angel
I’m not perfect
I’m just a human who fells the taste of defeat
try to change the situation
through that faint voice
I look like a blind who walks in daylight
policy made us enemies
and we forgot we are from one race
humans, brothers and sisters
I wonder where did the white dove gone!
REFUGEE
Bring me back to my town
where I belong
I missed all
my friends
my childhood
and all the walls
it was so wonderful
and now all is destroyed
like never was
my town
my town
my town
I try to scream so loud
but no one hears
my tears
I still have just the memories
from the past lives on my mind
my stories with my neighbors are gone
and every innocent kid
their dreams were raped
children dies
and history like never exits
I’m just a number now
without identifity
like a dead man
counting the stars in the sky
waiting the consciences
to hear their cries
and their pains
to hold them again
and lead them to their town.
HELLO WORLD
The birthplace
it was like kissing life
hello world glad to be here
and looking to the life
it’s looking so beautiful
as if I will live so long
Hello world
I know I am here for many reasons
my birth was;
but not to destroy life
or share the evil
I’m glad to be here
and to meet the world
to live
in harmony with all
to love all
without looking the religions
or races
and to share the smiles with all
like we are one.
