Responible Children
Salmabanu Hatim Sep 2019
Mothers' wake up!
Let your children grow up.
From a tender age of five teach them the art of responsibility,
Then your child will become a responsible adult  with ability.
Start with self-care,
How many of your children do this I dare,
Pick up their own outfits,
Take to the kitchen their plates,
Place ***** clothes in the laundry bin,
Help in the kitchen,
To prepare some dishes,
Pack their own lunches.
No! No! these jobs are menial,
That's self denial,
Cause you are busy at work and not at home with your kids,
And to ease your conscious you gratify all their wants and needs.
Stop doing their timetable for next day,
Stop nagging and doing their homework in any way,
Let them deal with the consequences,
Write a note to the teacher to take appropriate actions in these instances.
Parents mistakes is in issuing threats and never following through,
Eventually they call your bluff and dramas ensue.
Understand that by giving them responsibility it's preparing them for bigger things in life,
Such as everyday problems and strife,
It also gives your children confidence and flexibility to sort important issues too,
You will raise caring and responsible citizens hitherto.

I see in our society girls getting divorce over a minor issue.It's because they have pampered and catered and their every needs met.And after marriage she has to live according to the husband's income problems arise.She is not getting what she is used to and so divorce.

Together,
Forever,
You and me,
The river and the sea,
I flow into you.
You and me,one,
The moon and the sun,

You and me,
The flower and the bee,
Together we make honey,
To make life sweet as can be.

Profit or Loss
Salmabanu Hatim Sep 2019
In every transaction there is a profit or loss,
Mine was a total loss the day my work force (children) left.
My mum said to get married so I would have a family who would take care of me,
My loss or my punishment,
I got married to talk to empty walls.

Door
Salmabanu Hatim Sep 2019
When one door in your life closes,
No losses,
Move on,
Every action has a reason.
There is also a back-door,
Perhaps, with opportunities  more.
So don't despair,
Everybody  gets their fair share,
May be yours with golden opportune,
A lottery or a fortune.

Be Wary
Salmabanu Hatim Sep 2019
Be wary of greediness of wealth,
Your arrogance,

Tomorrow you will be in the same soil
People will remember you by your deeds.

Religion
Salmabanu Hatim Sep 2019
We are the slaves of this world,
People use religion to gain power, fame and a living,
And when they are tested,
The true religious people are few.

KERBALA

A place of grief and tribulations,
Where a war of 72 against thousands took place,
For truth, justice and dignity,
Where Hussein sacrificed his head to keep the banner of Islam forever,
A lesson to billions.

Save Me!
Salmabanu Hatim Sep 2019
Nature is everywhere,
Beautiful, useful and bountiful,
use it with care,
From a bee to a tall tree,
Even life in the sea,
Picturesque  mountains
From where rivers rumble and tumble to valleys, lakes and coastal plains.
Before creating mankind,
God had his needs in mind,
He created Earth with all amenities,
Saw to all our necessities.
What did we do instead,
Man went mad,
In the name of development and technology,
Burnt our forests like an effigy,
Polluted our lakes and rivers,
Global warming caused holes in the ozone layers,
Every nation wants to be super powers,
Why not be good human beings,
Wake up to climate change warnings,
And save our earth,
From a slow death.

Outside the door is your missus.

Mourn
Salmabanu Hatim Aug 2019
Yesterday I remembered my love,
The entire night I mourned,
So did the sky.

The stars gave me company.
The clouds thundered,so did my heart,
The sky flashed with lighting,
So did every nerves in me,
And the rain sobbed in torrents with me

Poet
Salmabanu Hatim Aug 2019
A lump in the throat,
Tears in the eyes,
Happiness,
Rain,
The chirping of birds and the fluttering of butterflies,
At the seaside or a walk in the woods,
Anger at human and animal abuse,
A cup of hot coffee and
Love,
Brings out the poet in me.
