AN ECCEDENTESIAST WISH...
May the stars that shine
From the sky above
Be yours and mine
May the moon in the sky
As proud as clouds
Embrace you with grace
Life is a fountain of desire
With mountains of trials
But with age and courage
We learn to conquer
We stand tall and unconquerable
We must never worry or hurry
Live as free as trees
Run and have fun
For all hope is not gone
Stare at the skies
With your priceless eyes
Then you see love from above
Flooding your blood stream
I wish for you success as sweet as honey
Which no money can buy
We should not despair for we are Invictus...

POETRY - HOPE - UMM AMATULLAH
HOPE???
My eyes have seen things
That make my heart bleed
The downtrodden weep
Yet, the mighty claims not to see
The blood of the innocent have been spilled
Unjustly people have been killed
Whoever has sown an evil seed
Is sure to reap an evil yield
We have been plunged into deep sorrow
With hardly any hope left for tomorrow
The question is who is responsible?
For our current state that is so despicable
The poor point at the well to do
The wealthy point at the destitute
But it takes two to tango
A bitter truth which many don't know
We should give up the blame game
And become one and rise to fame
It's time to stop these accusations
That are mere imaginations
One day for sure, we will smile
Dried up will be the tears of our cry
For there is no beginning without an end
And after the darkest night comes a new dawn...

POETRY - CIVILIZATION - UMM AMATULLAH
CIVILIZATION
Civilization is a canker worm
That has well become the norm
Coming in various forms
Leaving behind destruction in turn
Females now dress half-naked
Products are now half-baked
Morals have now been caked
Packaged and thrown into the lake
Under the guise of civilization
Children no longer respect their parents
Words of advice, no more potent
Discipline has become latent
Oh! What an evil portent!
Under the guise of civilization
Good morals have rotten
Ancient values forgotten
Absolutely nothing
To serve as cuttings
Civilization!
Upon us it'll soon dawn
That our society has gone brown
The once beautiful lawn
Forever gone!
We've got to wake up to reality
And look up these issues carefully
Nature's precious gifts, sadly
Are being handled carelessly
The fabric that holds us together
Hasn't gotten any better
The threads have fallen apart
Like a loose unwoven mat
Now is the time to rise
Stand firm and be wise
Let's take only the good it brings
And throw the odds into the winds!
