what can you give
but hope in your words
one word to drop gently
in the ear of just one person
to change the cogs of war and hate
one word one person one generation
to embrace peace and put an end to war.
Life's not about where you're from, or where you're at;
It's based on your character, and every true fact;
So let us be one, as this will allow us to adapt;
Bringing peace to this world, placing love upon this map;

"Humane"
Insanity is running into the same wall,
Over,
And Over again.

You're stuck in that same room,
With those same people.
Crying out,
Screaming out,
Pounding your first on that door.
That door that is locked.

So you quit.
The door isn't opening,
Those people are still talking,
Blissfully unaware.
Unaware of the suffocating trap they live in.

So I will find ways to mingle,
In this lonely, isolated room.
I will find ways to smile.
My coping mechanisms will stay behind closed doors,
And I will survive.

But when that door opens,
And chaos finally breaks loose,
Hell hath no fury,
For what I will unfold.
I'm in a  vengeful mood today
Depression is - locking yourself in the bathroom at work for as long as you can get away with, and laying on the floor. Praying to fall asleep and wake up anywhere else.
Cloudy winter night
I recite verses from my
Poem and she laughs.*

© Ali Qureshi
That poem was not that bad, or was it?
I guess, like they say
You don't read between
The lines in the light
Ultraviolet or extra bright
But it's not your fault
Not your fight
Explanations from you
Provide
Insight and guidance
Into why
Why I feel I need to be
Just right
It does make me
Pretty tired
