Paghunda - Hello Poetry

‎There lies a land behind the smoke, ‎Where silence screams and hearts are broke ‎ ‎Where lullabies drown in bombs and drones ‎And cradles turn to shattered stones ‎ ‎Babies cry with lips so dry ‎No blood, no milk, no tear left to cry ‎ ‎No schoolbell rings, no hospital stands, ‎Just bones and ruins buried in the sand ‎ ‎They queue for crumbs and bleed for rice ‎A bottle of water, the price of life ‎ ‎Each has lost __ be it a child or spouse ‎a parent, a sibling or a shattered house ‎ ‎Then phosphorus rains on wrecked-out souls ‎To burn their skin to elevate their pains ‎ ‎And we the modern civilized race ‎Watch stage 5 famine take its place ‎ ‎What further war-crimes must I define ‎Palestine bleeds while the world stays blind ______________________ Paghunda Zahid

WHERE The SUN FORGOT TO SHINE

‎There lies a land behind the smoke, ‎Where silence screams and hearts are broke ‎ ‎Where lullabies drown in bombs and drones ‎And cradles turn to shattered stones ‎ ‎Babies cry with lips so dry ‎No blood, no milk, no tear left to cry ‎ ‎No schoolbell rings, no hospital stands, ‎Just bones and ruins buried in the sand ‎ ‎They queue for crumbs and bleed for rice ‎A bottle of water, the price of life ‎ ‎Each has lost __ be it a child or spouse ‎a parent, a sibling or a shattered house ‎ ‎Then phosphorus rains on wrecked-out souls ‎To burn their skin to elevate their pains ‎ ‎And we the modern civilized race ‎Watch stage 5 famine take its place ‎ ‎What further war-crimes must I define ‎Palestine bleeds while the world stays blind ______________________ Paghunda Zahid

I was a Moon in a dark abyss Wandering alone in tormented solace As aimlessly as a fish in bowl Glumly glad within my alien abode In a spur ___ you appeared from Nowhere A Blackhole pulling me towards its angelic snare Rearranging the space time fabric ___ To a whole new world ___ mystifying yet aesthetic And I couldn't resist, for that Benignity set my heart ablazed ___ filled its Valence shell Entwined with you I will step in eternity soon Hoping, your floral rugs bear stars and moons..!!

The Known-Unknown

I was a Moon in a dark abyss Wandering alone in tormented solace As aimlessly as a fish in bowl Glumly glad within my alien abode In a spur ___ you appeared from Nowhere A Blackhole pulling me towards its angelic snare Rearranging the space time fabric ___ To a whole new world ___ mystifying yet aesthetic And I couldn't resist, for that Benignity set my heart ablazed ___ filled its Valence shell Entwined with you I will step in eternity soon Hoping, your floral rugs bear stars and moons..!!

Screams, screeches, groans and wails, Brutalities, agonies, torture, and blood, Tear Gases, pallet guns, bullets and bombs Humanity sobs, world is falling apart Kids are blinded Men are jailed Women are molested The old are tortured Luckily, you have food Billions are starving You have a warm blanket Trillions live under the frigid sky Dreams are murdered Voices are unheard Wishes are being blurred Every heart has become graveyard Sweet melodies step down as Sighs take over the throne Rainbow of Joy is washed by the deluge of tears Soul of humanity becomes a pray of endless wild Forest of Wars Even the Sun refuses to rise above the Plumb, snowy mountains Yet you say world is beautiful?? For you are at peace…. Come out of your palace You will see…. Sky painting itself red! Butterflies renouncing their dreams Birds with trimmed wings Blood oceans, barren trees, burnt houses, Teared eyes, and shattered bodies Earth is ugly Earth is savage Earth is a cage Earth is a jinxed place (Paghunda Zahid)
