The Wings within the Burqa
Ziyad Ali Jan 2019
Like anyone else, she dreamed high
But what could she do with herself chained.
She hoped someone, would see he cry
But under the veil who knew she pained

Blind
Ziyad Ali Jan 2019
You have been gifted with vision
but you still cannot see
They're caging you in
when they should be setting you free

They're building walls
When they should be breaking them
They're breaking  laws
When they should be making them

They promised you a difference
but chose to differentiate
They promised you a change 
but chose to procrastinate

The rich gets richer
The poor are kept alive
You don't see how much they need you
No , need your vote to survive

Illusions
Ziyad Ali Jan 2019
I can't snap out, No! not right now
I can't pick myself off of the ground
The harder I try, The weaker I grow
The higher I get , The louder the sounds

It seems hard to understand
what is real and what is not
I feel my feet sink into the sand
pulling me in to slowly rot

Tried keeping away but kept loosing my mind
The visions are haunting,  They're turning me blind
finding more problems when looking for solutions
Thinking I am happy is  just another Illusion
Things can always get a little difficult and facing and being able to withstand it is what living is all about. There is no easy way out , There is no "Escape" . Eventually we all need a reality check

The words on my Gravestone
Ziyad Ali Jan 2019
I came empty handed
and that is how I will go.
The soil where I am planted
is where my memory will grow.
