WARQA BIN NOFAIL
And Gaza Says," O the Sons of Adam
The people of Moses
The people of Muhammad
Stop Will You?

I feel the Tankers on my body
They are trampling me

I hear the Missiles
They pierce through My Soul

I see the tearful Widows
the cries of the children
Fear in the Eyes
the Funerals

I hear the pleas
I hear the screams
the cries for help
the prayers
the curses
the complaints to the Almighty


Blood is Smeared on to My Face
Human blood- a Precious blood
The blood of Adam

I am ploughed
often daily
to bury the lifeless
the young
the old
the men
the women
the infants

I see debris,destruction
devastation
the helplessness

I feel the hatred
in your hearts
your words
translated through your actions

I wonder
Why are the innocents paying the price
of this War?

O Sons of Adam
O the Sons of Abraham
Don't Forget
O You the People of Moses
O You the People of Jesus
O You the People of Muhammad
Your Lord
Your God
is but One

Fear Him

He hates Oppression

Did you all
forget
the Fate of the Pharaoh?

the Worst of the Oppressors."

Little bird you cannot fly today
I can see you broke your wing
how is it then outside my door
though in pain I hear you sing

Little bird I've wounds as well
and broken places I can’t feel
if you’ll share a song with me
together maybe we can heal

Little bird we know life is hard
and I'm afraid but ready to try
if you’ll teach me how to sing
perhaps tomorrow we can fly

Everyone loves you
the world is your stage
each line well rehearsed
you’re the latest craze
yet alone in the darkness
a child cries out
unmasked and revealing
a heart filled with doubt
today they love you
what if tomorrow they don’t
how well will you sleep
knowing your demons won’t

Flightless Birds
so it would seem
we paint memories
yet fear to dream
While if you try
you may not prevail
if you do not
you’ll always fail
So for one moment
put your brush away
smile and dare
to dream today

No one sees the ugly scars
sadly that is no one but you
I see the loveliness you are
and soon I hope you will too

All they taught you was a lie
but now it’s up to you alone
you’d be it if you believed it
and claimed it as your own  

Being beautiful is a choice
not some gift for us to give
don’t let lies hold you back
you’re alive it’s time to live
Ahmed Usman Apr 2014
To the capricious winds our seeds are sewn
Into the empty darkness, our way unknown
Run child, run and hide, run quickly away
Eternity laughs most cruelly, and in the end
Dreams almost never touch the light of day
