[slm] Silent Tears Flow on No man’s Land. May be I am naïve to cry for the voiceless Those armless babies and desperate mothers When people are dying to go to war People are dying in war People are dying All over In the name of peace And manufactured freedom [glow=red,2,300]Are my scalding tears hot enough To burn consciousness into humanity?[/glow] Monuments are built behind closed doors Collateral blood irrigates lands abroad When the masses wail who voices their woes? Maybe I am naïve enough to wait at the Station Clutching my bags, I am boarding the peace train The one that has no destination For the world is set ablaze Fireballs of hatred Ignorance Spirit diffusion Amidst this confusion my soul can no longer Bear this searing pain I call to humanity A fervent echo To the screaming silence Of the millions Wake up Don’t sleep through the American dream A grotesque nightmarish Reality Haunting bleeding mothers Seeping the horrors Out of their babies Plundering the weeping earth Gushing the blood of the Dead fathers Dead societies Dead futures Stand up for justice Before the day you will be Called to witness The blood dripping from Your own hands Innocent eyes imploring To know why Our silence co-opted Their torturous demise. -Maliha. |

Salam, my dear sis... MashaALlah... I read your poem, while listening to Peace Train... *snif snif* I pray that the multitude of hearts, who are impacted by the deep echoes of your heart will form the peace train.. making these lands come back to Darussalam... the abode of peace... take us home again. A journey of hardship and pain, tears, blood and wounded hearts and jasad. Who would be a part of the Peace train? [i]Man ansari ilaAllah?[/i] [center]As said Jesus the son of Mary to the Disciples, "Who will be my helpers to (the work of) God?" Said the disciples, "We are God's helpers!" then a portion of the Children of Israel believed, and a portion disbelieved: But We gave power to those who believed, against their enemies, and they became the ones that prevailed. Surah As Saf 61:14[/center] Allahua'lam |

[slm] [size=3][font=Book Antiqua][color=Navy]Ma Shaa Allah......Very Nice Sister Maliha........ I took your suggestion Sister Barr and listened to "Peace Train" while reading too..... pretty touching....... Nobody is wanting suffering...... not in war..... not in life..... in all the bad it's nice to find the expression of togetherness, and concern for more than self....... Ya Allah.........Subhan Allah [/color][/font][/size] [wlm] |
