"siasat" poems - Hello Poetry

For a Palestinian Child, with Butterflies by Michael R. Burch Where does the butterfly go ... when lightning rails ... when thunder howls ... when hailstones scream ... when winter scowls ... when nights compound dark frosts with snow ... where does the butterfly go? Where does the rose hide its bloom when night descends oblique and chill, beyond the capacity of moonlight to fill? When the only relief’s a banked fire’s glow, where does the butterfly go? And where shall the spirit flee when life is harsh, too harsh to face, and hope is lost without a trace? Oh, when the light of life runs low, where does the butterfly go? Published by Tucumcari Literary Review, Romantics Quarterly, Poetry Life & Times, Victorian Violet Press (where it was nominated for a “Best of the Net”), The Contributor (a Nashville homeless newspaper), Siasat (Pakistan), and set to music as a part of the song cycle “The Children of Gaza” which has been performed in various European venues by the Palestinian soprano Dima Bawab. Keywords/Tags: butterfly, children, storm, lightning, thunder, hailstones, snow, frost, night, shelter, comfort, safety, rose, fire, warmth, Holocaust, Nakba, Gaza, Trail of Tears, slavery, injustice, abuse, ethnic cleansing, genocide

Where Does the Butterfly Go?

For a Palestinian Child, with Butterflies by Michael R. Burch Where does the butterfly go ... when lightning rails ... when thunder howls ... when hailstones scream ... when winter scowls ... when nights compound dark frosts with snow ... where does the butterfly go? Where does the rose hide its bloom when night descends oblique and chill, beyond the capacity of moonlight to fill? When the only relief’s a banked fire’s glow, where does the butterfly go? And where shall the spirit flee when life is harsh, too harsh to face, and hope is lost without a trace? Oh, when the light of life runs low, where does the butterfly go?

saya pikir soal lelah semua orang merasa namun perkara kuantitas dan siasat mengatasi tak semua sama dan rasanya tak salah maka jika ada yang marah ketika pikiran tak seia sekata mungkin sepatutnya paham pula hal yang ditanggung dalam lelah sering kali jauh berbeda

REKTOR SEKALIGUS SIASAT BODOHNYA. USAHA KERAS YANG PERCUMA IA KAN RAWAT SEHIDUP SEMATINYA. DI BAWAH tuhan IA MIRIP DI ATAS TUHAN. REKTOR MEMBUNGKAM SI PENAKUT KURUS YANG BERPURA-PURA NYARING SEPERTI DUA CERMIN YANG NYATANYA MEMANTUL LEMAH. BUDAK-BUDAK LAHIR DARI REKTOR YANG NYATANYA KERUH ISI PERUTNYA. DARMA NAN BAIK TERNYATA 3750. ASAP KOSONG DENGAN INJAKAN KERAS BAGI KAUM INTELEKTUAL PALSU. SEKALI LAGI, BIAR KUPASTIKAN LAGI, REKTOR BESERTA SIASAT BODOHNYA.
