Foreword

"Midnight in the Garden of Peace" is an anthology inspired


by the World Literary Forum on Peace and Human Rights,
which is the only one of its kind. It is the reflections of human
thoughts in the form of verses that would plead melodically to
all the sentiment beings to exercise for peace around the world.

The anthology contains poems written by all the


international literary warriors who are inspired to strengthen
the international cultural heritage of different countries through
their literary work so that their writing promote the cultivation
of peace and peace through literature. It includes the divine
imagination of all the poets of the unity to support which would
eventually resonate the songs of peace that everyone waits to
listen.

midnight in the garden of peace
The anthology circle around the topic of Peace, Humanity
and Humanitarian which, at present, is felt as necessary to
repair the world a better place to live. The verse formed from
the anthology would be able to regenerate the minds of the
readers to reflect and transform oneself as its rich literary
meanings enables readers to decode their humanitarian heart
hidden in the paradigm of fantasy world. Simultaneously, the
inner soul of the reader would resurrect to explore the world
not traveled to find serenity within and would enable all readers
to change the way they look and listen to the world.

Thus, the anthology will cause every reader to relax,


think, enjoy and realize about their real spirit as it urges a
reverie and a deep introspection, that is like a dive, a fantastic
exploration.

Abundio Noel M. Libot

Let Them Be Themselves

Please stop forcing them to change their being,


That they may fit in the world of your dream,
Do not continue your pseudo-healing,
For they are well enough before you came.

Just bother not to look for something wrong,


It's their true melody, not out of tune,
Though it sounds different from the old song,
It is never a whistle of typhoon.

You may not witness the blood that they shed,


That you keep on pushing to the limit,
Beware, not every danger is in red,
And it may kill you if you step on it.
Please allow them be themselves, my friend,
Or just forget that you have ever reigned.

Different Horizons on Kabul

Who are the real terrorists,


I hope we fairly investigate,
Because allies are there to attest
What is in favor to their bet.

Something written in the history


Yet have different shades of gray,
The youth have limited memory
Just based on what the elders say.

Who are the heroes and the villains,


The answer will only depend
On who are the respondent’s friends,
They are the one they will defend.

Who should be there for the Afghans?


Which music would the people dance?
Is it the hymn of Taliban
Or the chants of the Americans.

Behind the Wall

Should I let my hair grow


As long as of Rapunzel,
Or wait any star to fall

8
international poetry antology

To wish for fairy tale


To be real,
So your heart could hear
The ringing of bells?

But my horizon is nothing but walls,


How could I see those meteors,
How could I wish as they fall?

Neither sunrise nor sunset,


Only the sun’s heat
For my body to sweat.

Life is free,
That’s what they say,
The, why should I pay?
Why build a wall between us
To forbade each other to see
The stupid reality.

You’re there, I am here,


We’re closer than whisper,
But to my wail
You never hear,
As poor voices
Are not allowed to enter
Your golden ear.

9
midnight in the garden of peace

Though I could not have


The treasure that you have,
But I am still worth of
Such treatment so smooth.

I am human too,
Just like you,
The wall between us,
Hinders you to know.

The land where the wall stand,


Could be a pavement,
To reach each other’s hands,
That together we can dance.

You need not to fear or shame


For our hearts are on flames,
Just listen to the rhythm
Our world would be a joyful hymn.

Rustle

There is a noise
Of a running stream,
As the water to the rock kisses
Like lips of her to him.

10
international poetry antology

There is a sound
Of the waving air,
It is out of tune,
Yet, I am longing to hear.

There’s a lullaby
Heard by my soul,
It makes my heart fly,
And in your love fall.

But all of these


Will just only pass,
Silence will be noise,
Be memory of the past.

There is ringing of bells,


Children run to play,
But another ringing of bells
Takes those children away.

There is a silence
Of the running stream,
The cool waving stream
No longer sing a hymn.

There is a goodbye,
There is an end,

11
midnight in the garden of peace

No more lullaby,
My soul used to listen.

But all of these


Will just past,
Noise will be the silence,
Be memory of the past.

The Reigning Pawn

I am holy as a saint
and wicked as a sinner,
I can be good or evil,
but nothing last forever.
I deserve no heaven,
yet I am not worthy of hell,
I am what I am,
neither a demon nor an angel.

I wish to be a king,
to have a kingdom of my own,
I have done everything,
but I can only be a pawn.
I am proud of my strength
and humbled of my shortcoming,
Recognizing both
is the great formula of winning.

Wanderer and Gatherer

On pram of this lass Earth!


Besides wretched 'nd wrath
Of its. Bear footed matching
On destiny, As if Okonkwo's
Plight- reading via life ireness.
Where an intestine thunders
Where Pity speaks coreless
A stage: where louder lowers
Where Harlot so welcomed
Where Orphan so outcasted.
Wandering For quenching self;
13
midnight in the garden of peace

Gathering not as fresh, but


Decayed stuff- and, jump for joy.

Carcade Of Emotion

Pours on heart
Seems in stupor
Seniles trap less

Makes souls smoothy


Beside raw, riped injects
Echoes an emptied holes

Tick wrong, not a mad


Here mine of, a queen call
How can i shroud? Pardon!

Drive gentle, drop humble


An ardent or gullible to you
Isn't love that makes king, slave?

Hurray, why then- not


A solo of soloful brain
Remained i? I salute to

The Flowerful flower, that


Keeps floating in convoy
Of tantalising smile, hush!
Yours car, highly drives well.

The SEERS

We're the SEERS


Of those devils replicas

We're the vertebras


Of those diluted souls

Roofs of transparent rooms


Chairs of the bottomless tyrannies

Asphalt of tireless lorries


A gas use to ride a camels

Victims of colonial masters


And independent gentle dudes

Paradises of deviant folk


Wives of castrated husbands

The insulters of deaf men


The gesticulates of blind women

We become the rapists of women


We become the tutors of gathered

Rocks, sheep, swung-monkeys


And the guards of flies-birds.

15
midnight in the garden of peace

Roamers

Barefooted - they transverse


The Warders - to street queen
Crumble, scream in elfs canon
In rhythm of hate - they bypass

Gloss of any convicts, not oafs


Almajirai, in this name humiliate
Many. As if disposal cabbage eat
By an ocean of merciless tyrants

Merchants of predated century


The plight en route on K'olos'
Roles. Spread on mat Malam's
Time paradigm, society as well

I'm sorry of your roaming in wall


Then why are you chosen your
NYSC in the land of no concern?
"In your tour and in lives overture"

A love, a hope, an envisioning


A Change to this Noble course
And monopoly

Idols

We always have idols


And we want to meet them,
Stay close and learn from them.
As time goes by, we become idols, too
For other people, who search one.
We become an example of moving on
And we change the perspective.
Instead of haters, let's have idols!

Poetry as a prayer

Is poetry a prayer?
Yes, it is.
Because the poet is praying
For a better world

18
international poetry antology

And he is revealing his soul,


Talking to God in rhymes,
Giving Him riddles to solve
And asking His unlimited mercy.

Escape

When my mind is a highest mountain


And I feel I can not climb it,
I go back to my soul
And make an escape
Looking for the blue sea and its waves
And for the need of vacation.

Beggars

Are we beggars,
If we search for love?
Are we beggars,
If we search for compașsion?
Are we beggars,
If we search for help?
Are we beggars
Or only souls in need?

19
midnight in the garden of peace

Who talks?

Who talks?Poverty or your heart?


When you give birth to a child
And you have no financial possibilities To raise him well
But your heart, your mother instinct
Tells you not to abandon your own blood
Because he needs you more than money.
Who talks?Think twice and do not have remorses!

curse of hunger

sad monkeys crouched


at the edge of the clearing
and were thinking so hard
where to get bananas for today

21
midnight in the garden of peace

their stomachs were rumble


their faces twisted by a grimace
however, they do not give up
and were thinking so furiously

the man cut down to the trunk


all banana trees in their area
for man, the animal's world
doesn't count any value at all

because of their thoughtlessness


because of their own private business
the curse of terrible hunger hangs
over the world of all wild monkeys

Man!
after all, you named yourself
a rational being, a master race
don't you?
come to your senses as it is not too late
before you bury all surrounding world
including yourself

Invisible

A little girl gave birth to her son in a dark alley.


Raped more than once by drunk hogs in human skin,
thrown out of her family home for lack of space and love
she had to be self-reliant from an early age

22
international poetry antology

She loved her son with the love she herself had always wanted
she hid him in the cradle of maternal arms.
She sang him lullabies,
taught him how to talk, walk and how to survive on the streets,
how to protect himself from rape, rain, and hunger.

Her son woke up in the morning


beside her cold, motionless body,
so lost, so scared and so lonely
in the jungle of a big city still remembering
her words repeated like a mantra
"When I'm gone, son, become invisible"

She didn't know it would happen so quickly,


so unexpectedly, that she would leave her son
broken-hearted like hers used to be,
she wanted so much to teach him to live
with hope for a better tomorrow

The invisible son will live like his mother,


a sad and lonely life

And when that last day comes

My Guardian Angel,
you have been walking through life with me
for so many years now,
giving me a hand when I fall down helpless,

23
midnight in the garden of peace

you protect me when I do not see evil myself,


and now there is so much evil in the world, so much
it multiplies, spreads, bleeds, and triumphs so fast.

Gods whom people have raised to the high pedestals,


they probably laugh loudly at humans' stupidity.
They are supposed to make only good
and teach love for one's neighbor,
it was the man who made them an instrument of war.

With the name of God on their lips, these "rational" beings


they conquered new lands, murdered, robbed, and raped.
Human history is written in blood and pain.
How many more cards we will be able to feel in it
before the last animal dies,
before we, people, will cut down the last tree,
before the fat belly oligarch throws in
to their unnecessary fortune the last bloody dollar?
before...

It might be the last lesson

just yesterday they believed it would be okay


they fought for every breath, for every sip of life
today rows of only empty chairs remind of them,
the cat mewing in the armchair and dog in tears

24
international poetry antology

loved ones should be close, but they were so far away


there was no one to hold their hands and tightly hug
now they lay lonely in rows of nameless coffins
in the middle of nowhere waiting for the grave
where did it all start and how it happened, who knows?
they say in China but are they really sure?
if there would not be the pursuit of money and power
there would not be so many hungry people in the world

there is enough money for bombs and space rockets


the food drowns in the sea by some madmen creatures
and their sick visions instead of feeding the hungry
although tomorrow, our world may cease to exist

it is still not too late to shake off the madness


to learn from this cruel and maybe last warning
first of all, people must be treated equally
the rest will slowly follow when you open your heart

And it was yesterday

Years go by and memories are lost in the fog


But still are just as painful
Yellowed photographs so often clasped to the heart
Remind us that they lived among us

25
midnight in the garden of peace

Grandmother had a long number on her forearm


She often said that it was her name
Given her by the baptism of war

I listen to the dark horror of her story


I close my eyes and see through hers
Through the eyes of a frightened child
A world that has been taken from her
without her consent
A world she received, although she did not want to

At night I pray for peace


I pray that my children never know hunger
That they may enjoy every moment
That they may build a future of their desire

Word of freedom

How sweet is the word freedom


As our lives want.
Let the storm and the sea be calm,
When the love in us blossoms.

In the field and poppies are caught in the choir


I am reborn in the spring under the temple of light
And they sprout under the sun.
They bloom under waiting rains with longing for fulfillment.

I am a word of freedom
I'm worried about the wind crying before the storm,
I found myself in the morning dew
Under the wings of birds flying to the sky and peace
descends to earth.

28
international poetry antology

The mystery of time

I listen to the murmur of time


When the green of spring sets
With a warm light in May
Open the window to untouched mysteries...

From the lost steps among the words


I still gather their spark, on the evening road
Late flowers fall from the silent oak
On the temples of the moment, with tender caresses.

When the night stretches its veil


Over the wall of night fog
The moon rises from undiscovered mysteries
Let your face shine through the leaves.

I walk in the shadows on paths of fire


What lies on the warm darkness
The white rains fall away...
What covers the silence of the earth ether.

29
midnight in the garden of peace

A bunch of peace

I follow the steps between east and west


The eyes look for the passage of time
From my magic universe
Between today and tomorrow a bridge of thoughts

I miss the beautiful braided smile


From the endless fall of love.
You are the word of every moment…
Breathing the fresh evening air.

I'm looking for a place to rest in the evenings


When the moonlight vibrates in the clouds
And the dream that appears wanders endlessly
Like a miracle written in your name.

Thousands of desires live among the lyrics,

The crows travel between me and you


And our circle opens to the horizon.

In our prayer of faith

God, suffer,
A tall bridge of multicolored flowers
Make a string of daisies out of tears
And for the poor a warm and soft bed.

30
international poetry antology

From every wound in my soul


God, make a blue star
And give him a new smile on his face
To illuminate the moments of eternity.

You are our path to serene horizons


You are our prayer for victory.
We gather your light from the darkness
We look up to your faith.

In the garden of peace

A dream was born between clouds and rain


It traverses thoughts like mountain waters
Clear and cold on summer days, under the magic of light.

The sun paints the horizon with butterflies of love


The wind blows through dew scented with linden flowers
He secretly caresses me with sublime music.

Vibrations under the sky of immortality, towards the


magical universe
Birds and butterflies in flight to new sunrises,
A tremor of nature with emerald sparkles.

I feel like I'm floating on the wings of the wind in the sun.
I carry faith in my soul like an expensive diamond.
I pray for peace on earth for the pigeons to fly free to the sky.

31
midnight in the garden of peace

I seek peace, tranquility and love, the proof of my existence


Our friendship, a rainbow of thoughts,
A covenant between heaven and earth.

A perfect sphere

He had missed me one morning


Looking for a gram of hope in me.
I see him pass by me silently,
Flapping its wings to the high sky.

It measures a dream in a silent world


And my eyes look with wonder,
In moments of peace and quiet
Raindrops fall on my shoulders.

A petal of thought in us unfolds


In tumultuous worlds under the burning stars
I try to save from love, a perfect sphere
Waiting on the threshold of the passing world.

Silence has long roamed the place


And the smile on his face settles slightly
Looking for words without regrets
Those that are inlaid are not visible.

Humanity

All of us are as a human being


We should have kept humanity for mankind.
Like - Love, Faith, Sympathy, Gentleness,
kindness, friendship, helping hand,
Or warming heart and sweetness voice.
Be the reason someone smiles
Never be hardful to others
Strong people stand for themselves,
But stronger people stand for others.
Love life and life will love you back.
Love people and they will love you back
For whomever and whatever benifits humanity as a whole.
Without that pious qualities

To define us as human being.
Enjoying the joys of others and suffering with them.
Be ashamed to die until
we have won some victory for our humanity.
Because memories of lives,
of our works and our deeds will remain for ever in the
material world.
There is nothing on earth divine except humanity.
All things in the vast universe exist in us, with us and for us.
We should be humble and simple by nature.
So, we think about universe
It is our country and the human family is our sweet family.
Dream for a batter world and for a batter humanity, not
for a batter car and bigger house.
Because walking with a friend in the dark is batter than
walking alone in the light.
Don't be the reason someone feels insecure.
Be the reason someone feels, seen, heard and supported.
Never, never be afraid to do
What's right, especially if the well- being of all the mankind.

Cry For Blaming Cake

Today I cry for my blaming cake


How to distribute
To anyone
Don't be same and shame
To others
It may be imposible
To share with others
For filling unwanting wants
To whome will be served
When I have insufficient
Blaming sweet cake
Now wonna life come
Too much lacking
Too much making
To turn waste
To take rest...?

War for selfishness

It's empty here


War for selfishness
Who is ahead of whom?
Whether in wealth or in charity
It's empty here
Civil war, cold war
Who cares how much
Throwing it behind
Runs forward like a horse...
It's empty here
War only
Is your race big?
Someone else
There is a war going on here
In the name of religion
Cheater's arrogance
Never again here
Feminist Cast
Become a man and die
Never mind
He tells the oppressed to be untouchable
Asked for water here
Blood is found
Hunger is hatred
Prosperity says pain...

You are the Rain in the cloud.

You are the Monsoon in the season.
You are there where there is life
You are there where there is no life.
You are in the hut of a poor man

You are in the palace of a rich man


You are the omnipresent

You are the main subject of every lesson.
We see You every moment of our life.
We see You in the pain of knife
We see You in the flower
We see You everywhere
Oh God ! It Is True

You are the right
You are the ray of the light
You are the vision of the sight
O God ! It Is True

Change yourself

I'm not sure who can change you


unless you retreat yourself and change.
Your lustful eyes spread the devious
fire from your awkward eyes.

Each and every activity of you,


your racial and ethnic discrimination and persecution,
peels your ugly designs to nudity.

43
midnight in the garden of peace

Your exertions force me


to keep you away beyond the horizon.

While I think of the sympathy I had for you,


makes me ashamed and my head bends,
for I have been contemplating in good faith,
waiting for your change on your own,
understanding the diversity as to arrive unity.

The ugly designs of your racial and religious aversion,


hatred shown on us and world community,
force me to question about your claim,
as to the existence of one Almighty.

You’re just a slave of territorial interests and power,


doing everything at the expenses of humanism,
paid for your cheap expansion businesses,
your unpleasant advancements are filthy.

You do lip services and pretense yourself,


as if having respect for,
culture, religion and race.
But reality reveals your dirty face,
having no regards for humanism.

You think you’re dignitary having high heritages,


only because you born wight,

44

but continue to remain inhuman.

Try to change yourself at least human,


with involvement, love, friendship, emotions,
relationships, thought and action.

Sailing not in the same boa

We are not sailing in the same boat


but struggling hard in lone distinct storm,
stuck in the corona pandemic hurricane.

Regardless of region, religion, race, ethnicity,


colour, caste, community and discrimination of unkind,
sustained throughout the human development,
this single invisible enemy virus amalgamated us one,
and struggle to cope with this malaise microbe.

Until this moment any Noah has been unseen,


to provide a sea liner guaranteeing insulation,
from this deadly pandemic and save everyone.

Threats to mankind all overcome tremendous


and achieved much progress in enormous,
the present challenge has never been met.
The squeal of humanity seeking a saviour,
seem alarmingly aloud and at extreme fringe.

The tyrant emphasizes the need an urgent coordination,


excluding all the divergence and gaps amongst us,
this occurrence too shall pass away and over,
as everything ought to change in the universe.

I could walk in longways

I’m not a simple onlooker on many things but involving


from the depth of my soul I sense your feelings and
emotions in full whole heartedly with love, nothing deters me.

I understand things from your point of view, and couldn’t


distance myself from you anymore, for I am born with
commitment and compassion, qualified and groomed,
natural poet of nature.

Skills aren’t even emotional intelligence makes me, to


understand you better in your own perspective. Nay
words yet your personality comprehend wholly I could
see myself mirrored in you really.

While I identify blinds and catch their hands to cross the


traffic road is just a do little, feel comfortable and moved
by my warmth, why not you as nearer and dearer to me.

Many people are like high sky passing clouds, while


passing away they smile momentarily, and dissipating
their feelings instantly, but I could walk longways in your shoes.

Stay at home

When the global flood came, where were Noah and his
clan. When the three angels visited Abraham, where was
he, only at home.
When two angels went to Sodom and Gomorrah,
Where was Lot, very much at home. When the angel killed
first born of Egypt, where were the Israeli tests, at home.

Where were the apostles of Jesus Christ,


only at home they received the Holy Spirit.

Where was St.Paul when he received Ananias's visit,


Where should remain during pandemics, stay at home.

The light has come

Let's give our ears unto the berceuse of the Angels,


vocalised in the universal language of humanity,
composed in an unheard symphony for the new born,
super powers have come bowing down their heads.

47

No more darkness in our gloomy ways,


let us tote this light in our arms,
The light swathes us leaving even an inch untouched,
this light understands each one of us, however uglier or
meager we may be.

Let's forget the miserable past filled with pains and stains
unseen ever, formulated by invisible enemy virus,
this light will heal the wounds and chronic infections,
spread over this spinning globe revolves.

This light is born to save us now, the light has come to set
us free.
Let us rejoice soulfully and praise this everlasting light,
delivers promising good news,
new hope and faith.

this gives me strength to engage in
literary researches earlier in life, so, I
made a choice of rejuvenating and
making people and humanity at large
to live healthy and peacefully among
one another irrespective of culture, norms and value through my literary
genre.

Midnight in the Garden of Peace

Viewing the next moment through an unknown midnight


of darkness
New dawn seems it will never comes with its reaches
The universe children are awake while some were asleep
unconsciously
Communication in precious garden of peace is full of irony

Far from comfort and luxury of life and surviving alone
The blue sky is present as it seems no more
Relevant human present can salvage humanity as sense of
humanitarian

49
midnight in the garden of peace

If and only if human personally appreciates peace of mind


As safe haven brings joy and peace and to humanity

Midnight in the Garden of Peace


Being steadfast and watching the time clock at exact point
Thin line between life and death is a dangerous moment
All through the midnight is heavy wind and dark cloud
Like fire is movement of this strange cloud and wind
The whirlwind is as always present in garden of peace

Midnight in the Garden of Peace


In stream of consciousness is this literature piece in peace
Living all through in the library called garden of peace
Suddenly in a midnight is a voice heard faintly crying
From a community among heterogeneous global
community calling for survival
As humane sages such life needs peace of mind

Midnight in the Garden of Peace


The universe is blessed by creator with children and families
Having different nature like sun and moon which brings light
A day of midnight in the garden of peace is chaos
Human must comprehend life literature to live in perfect peace
The life is worth living for if understand an enabling horizon

Georgeta Lipovanciuc
"I have parents and Eminescu's book - it's
all I need:
In their language I am born every day, in
their language I laugh
and I will weep in their language.”
Geta Lipovanciuc

Born on March 16, 1979, in the


village of Brăneşti, Republic of
Moldova. I studied at the Pedagogical College "Vasile Lupu" in Orhei and at
the State University of Chisinau, Faculty of History and Philosophy.
What defines me is a laconic trio:
1. I suffer for everything that hurts!
2. I also rejoice in what does not belong to me!
3. I would rather be criticized for what I am than loved for what I am
not!
Among my literary achievements I can list:
• member of many national and international literary circles and
groups;
• The book “SEVEN”, Ed. Liric Graph, 2021;
• The book “In flight through all that is holy”, Ed. Bons Offices, 2021;

Only you to love!

Even if you know that the palm of life darkens your sclera
And you don't taste happiness, just splitting fog,
Even if you are swallowed by the plague, typhus or cholera,
Even if you drown in the tub, just love no matter what!

Even if you see your lungs coming out, digging graves in


your chest,
And the nation throws you into terrible sin,
With the arms of the archangels make covenants,
Paying tribute with your own fate, still love deeply!

Even if the whole earth says they will spit on your baptism
And they will turn your whole being into torment,
Even if they sculpt with iron in their eyes, to snatch your creed,
Even if you will not be able to give birth to tears, still love
divinely!

52
international poetry antology

Even if everyone will laugh at you and throw you easily


In your too humble pit, you, mercilessly fallen,
Read nails in your mind and whiplash,
Ignore the unbelief, but love even a clay!

Even if they break the root of your tongue to dry up,


And they shall cut off you ear, lest you hear the baby's cry.
Even if they stigmatize your sad and cold face,
Do not borrow out of hatred, but love even then!

Even if they carelessly put you in jail


And in the eternal lava fire they will find your corner,
Wanting to melt your heart, when your soul snows,
Even if you are not a hermit, still love lonely!

Even if you know you're fighting death, being beaten in


just four boards,
Through the twinkle of pain, flying to a "Yes!" and a "No!"
Too rejected by the world and crucified in thought,
Even if everyone will hate you, but only you will love!

Renaissance

Life is gray, there are deep difficulties


And often you are disappointed,
Cause there is no one to flood your soul
And you run with painful and prolonged crying.

53
midnight in the garden of peace

You approach your mother to help you:


Only she knows each part of you
But she can't lend you an idea either
And she can't even lay you on a soft crib.

You are approaching a sister or a brother,


But each one is flooded with
Deep, separate weights
And each of them is immersed in endless thoughts.

You approach the friend who swore to you


Faith until your sad end,
But you see, he had already chosen
His friends through his modest begging.

You approach your shadow in silence


And you want to tell how helpless you are,
And filled with humiliation and pain
But it disappeared too. The shadow also served you very little.

You also approach the cushion between the hornbeams,


Being a wanderer, many years and every day,
To ask for advice, or to secretly confess
Your story, but the pillow didn't hear you either.

And then, disappointed, the thought comes to you


That it's all over, there is no solution you can find
But a light illuminates your face,
The thought cast by the Creator and his ray.

Laws of the universe

We live in a world built by laws


It is an honor to follow them, in reverence,
For who of the secrets will untie,
When everything gets too degenerate?

Whatever we send into the silent Universe


It comes back like a new boomerang.
Created is nothing: neither the air, nor the verse
And man is born with a lack of rank.

We make the change, by simple-acceptance


Of everything that happens to us on earth
And in a difficult evolution towards awakening
We also change the holy covenant of life.

We carry an honest burden on our shoulders


Of everything that happens in a human life.
The past, the present and a tomorrow terrify us,
They are tied in bundles like flowers in a tree.

We are thinking of only one deed,


At two we can't, it wasn't and it won't be,
And the rich mind, in the wise garment,
Learns through thoughts, through deeds to live.

55
midnight in the garden of peace

You can assume the present, if you know your past,


To learn from mistakes, to become thoughtful,
To combine the unknown with the lasting knowledge
And here, at present, unforced to return.

If you want rewards, gather patience,


Wreath to make from effort and energy!
And then you will not know of humble defiance,
Flying to heights, conquering galaxies.

These are imminent laws, unwritten doctrines,


But they come with a change that begins in us:
Let's be much better with others and with ourselves,
Let's end for ever the ruthless war.

Forgiveness

I ask for forgiveness and mercy


To those who betrayed me,
To those who wanted me to be upset
And to commit grievous sins.

Looking for tears in the churches


And unsanctified monasteries,
I sought high spirits - in clergy,
Anxiety - in poor martyrs.

56
international poetry antology

I ask for forgiveness and repentance


To those who have suffered
Because of my deed, out of unbelief,
Out of endless hatred.

From fierce and very hard lightning,


Appeared due to heavy ignorance
And spilled too ridiculous,
But, unfortunately, the earthling suffered.

I apologize for always wanting


To see ecstasy in foreign eyes
And that I have increased everyone's peace,
When I turned the second cheek.

At a glance or in the silence,


I have often subjugated many,
But it was just a simply wish
To stop spreading cruelty.

I ask for Forgiveness, beautiful world


From the town and the village,
The hair keeps getting covered in snow
Taking everyone’s youth away.

57
midnight in the garden of peace

Love yourself!

Just love yourself, always love yourself


Make a goal that was not and is not,
For life is a treasure and life is just one
And no more new seed of life will be born.

Destiny gives you too many demands,


Avoid the restrictions that you miss in your path,
And do not crawl on your knees and elbows,
Just because others want it all.

When you are asked to work hard,


It's simple: try to hear less,
And don't sink into deep agitation
And finally, learn decently to refuse.

You just have one life and learn to decide:


When you want to swim, go to sea.
When you feel acid insults attack you,
Just choose the shore for gentle calms.

Do not scatter the faith in the soul through the wind


And don't rush, anything is waiting for you:
Too null discussions or the passion of the gang.
And you want to change, but nothing gives you peace.

58
international poetry antology

Listen only to your soul, for it hurts you,


Do not listen to the one who betrays you behind your back,
Build peace in your nest so that it does not fly
And don't be a slave to humble plunder.

And those who were around you, if they leave,


Lay a beautiful flower bridge for them,
Answer them kindly, for they bent down
Love yourself, fly, live thrills!

Deeply buried...
Blood stains,

He returned...
Tears are shed...
The sky is crying..

The treasure of love

I am looking for a world where love is celebrated


where gentleness grows in the fields of peace,
to remove even my own shadow
from nonsense of discord, hatred and unrest.

In my heart of dreams and light


there is a treasury of love for all people
and I cannot understand the reason for intolerance
towards other religions and nations.

One God, whatever someone called him,


created a heart to love and be loved
and to connect with another heart,
it does not matter which deity is prayed to.

My longing for the unity of souls


would like from to fly out of my a fiery heart and from the
chest,
it would like with smile and wisdom of mind
to awake divided world by love.
My longings with the cry of the soul pray for peace

68
international poetry antology

for a life where serenity and a smile unite people


i embrace all the strangers who love each other
eager for friendly warm hugs.

The world where love is celebrated

I will go easily through all traps and paths,


span the abyss with flower bridges,
to reach the souls that sensing beauty
in the sunny garden among butterflies.

In me, there is a hope like a fiery bird


trembling on the top of starry hills,
while I search for gentleness and purity of heart
beyond all evil and bitter sources.

I will look for a world where love is celebrated


in the far away of mysterious universe,
to clear the shade even of my own shadow
from fatal strife, hatred and unrest.

In my world of crystalline dreams


everything is love and smile and hope
and I don't want to know about the life we live in,
where meaningless division governs.

I'll be a prisoner in the tower of dreams


close to a rose, to a butterfly in flight,
while the divine ray as magical light
breathes in the meaning into my own world.

69
midnight in the garden of peace

Stunned by the illusion, unaware of time,


full of love that is forever dreamed of,
I LOOK FOR THE SOULS SIMILAR TO MINE
THAT IN KINDNESS SEE THE MEANING OF THEIR
OWN EXISTENCE.

Sky of love

We want sky woven of love


Hands in hands and gentleness of calmness
We want a one big chanted heart
But a secret force is dividing us.

A force which doesn’t let us live in peace


Which creates words of restless endlessness
By the mysterious power of an unreasonable mind
separating souls longing for hugs.

And we only want a smile of close beings


And a poem that intoxicate with beauty
We want a world of pure feelings
And for love we fight with spirit and goodness.

We fight with deeds of the noble, of the pure


For the unity of people with smiling faces
And beyond the pointless divisions and lies
We rise proudly like proud birds.

70
international poetry antology

Our longing is greater than any longing


It wants from the heart, from the soul, from the chest
It wants with wisdom and clarity of mind
To awaken the divided world with love.

The longing of my heart

I feel sorry for the turbulent planet


where meaningless divisions reign
and the soulless trample on people
that have always only dreamed of peace.

I feel sorry for the helpless souls


without a warm home to stay
because of the wars of the foolish
they wander the world hopelessly.

I feel sorry for the sick and the hungry


who do not experience decent life,
I feel sorry for everyone who doesn't have
a smile on their face and a sky of love.

My whole heart sings with prayer


to destroy hatred and revive hope,
to bring different nations together
and unity to rule the earth forever.

My heart fights forever for peace


with a warm song which radiates with goodness.
My heart on the clock of eternnity
beats only for love and humanity.

Faith

Like the mercury in a thermometer


Faith too goes up and down

This morning one haggled


over faith at my home

Hunting here and there on the round earth


he came to me upset
and asked one thousand rupees

I too am not stinking rich


Every month I’ve saved money
To buy a dress for my better-half

My wife knows me well


if I buy the dress after some days it will do
But if I disappoint the man who has come to me
for help with the faith
that would be lost

I thought it over and


held out the one thousand rupees

On impulse my wife held me


in her arms and said

74

This morning itself


You’ve planted the saplings of faith
Well done

Affection for You

It was gleaming
with the gaze

Affection is dumb
Affection is deaf

Like a speaker it did not speak about


the matter
like a listener it did not listen to

Till the moment of parting


it kept waiting in the eyes

In the thick green


of the desolate woods
A tune is ringing faintly

Gazing at the eyes


I want to see

75
midnight in the garden of peace

Is it still alive

Oh dear
No way, no way

Cleaving the heart


comes out
a curious sigh

In the teary gaze


is it still alive
(Original Assamese poem titled “Anurag tomar babe”)

Chitralekha

Having painted on both eyes


suddenly vanished
Chitralekha the enchantress

She planted
in heart
the garden of Babylon

It is swaying
in heart
heavenly flowers are blooming

76
international poetry antology

Everyday we hear
melodious calls of painted birds

You are the gardener


of the hanging garden
I know you won't come back again

Yet amidst the clouds


will be shining
the radiant smile of the sun

(Original Assamese poem titled “Chitralekha”)

Note: Chitralekha was the boon companion of Usha, the daughter of


the King Baan of the Sonitpur kingdom in Assam (India) of the
Mahabharata era. Chitralekha had magical skills at painting and
portraiture in particular.

Peace

The world needs peace,


And the word itself is a calm face,

Humanity is caring,
And tranquility, apart is not tearing,

When peace prevails,


Even development, on the right track rails,

Peace always steer the world for prosperity,


And it stirs it for social sanity,

83

Security is a vital cornerstone of peace,


And unity is a perfect stepping stone for progressive pace,

Peace never invites war,


But it unites conflicting chars,

Peace brings international bond,


It bridges the gap between the rich and the poor on hold,

Peace is a free gemstone,


And not a contention bone,

It is a priceless Ruby,
And a timeless hobby,

Peace is a life medal,


And never a rife riddle.

Fry on funeral pyre for work pressure.


Shelters always in the core of heart's floor.
Rests with love ,affection and honour.
Blossoms even after death it's flower.

Peeps when it's face in poetry corridor.


May soothe the fans eyes and ears.
But wax can't for the social welfare.
If not taken proper practical care.

Neglect never, situation may be whatever.

To homeless,a home to rest tired soul.
To jobless,a job to boost life's zeal.

A haven of human feeling's my heart,


flows constantly crystal love like cataract,
for all disciplined dancers of distant,
as set my soul silently on holy mat,
taking a lorry of labyrinth test.

Where deprived black and white


pille always path of pearl pleasant
rear every religion with rosy respect.
Sit all young and old in ship of delight,

only likes, kisses and hearts
that doesn't help at all
lend a helping hand and donate
for their lives
an ocean of tears and sighs formed
will there be no pity for anyone?
where is humanity
show humanity and love
lives the amount of goodness in the world,
to grow with every Word and Deed.

and caresses my weak body

in places hard to find
In every corner of the world, a man is dying of tears
You dream and hope for peace on earth, when some
I think with my soul and dark thoughts
I would like to pretend to be a tree with many branches
to protect those in need, to be able to provide
tomorrow's safety,
To bring a ray of sunshine closer to comfort our lost souls,
Let's bring smiles, joy and peace to the soul.
Let's change this destiny, let's be united and love each other.

gift

I keep the light as a gift


Of finding the right thought
My song soothes me with grace
The gentleness of the pure soul

I keep the light in the dark


Through the black night a guide
And your eyes on the pious
The clear blue diffuse

I look at the light with hope


Peace begging to God
And I cry every morning, Lord, thank you for being me!

The light of peace

God, it's too cold outside


Too many dark thoughts
And too much rain
Hopes dried up in grays
Mix colors and dreams in us

God, it's too deserted outside


The world is deserted,
Sift the bedding
The wind can be heard in the streets
What a hiss in the tumult

God burns the earth too much


The Universe weeps through fire and weapons
People drained of strength
Beg the Universe
In the evening prayer

God, the pain is too great


And the pain too acute
God bless you

covenant

In your absence I kept the words; one crazy thought told


me to throw them away, another urged me to gather them
as the flowers gather their dew in the morning.
I hesitated not knowing what to do...
Slowly, slowly the feelings took over the saddened soul
urging him to dream - you were by my side; I stroked your
black hair smelling of jasmine and musk; the lips of the
rose moved almost imperceptibly drawing a - I love you,
fearful and yet so desired.
I kissed your eyes, a blue miracle pouring out their
gentleness and love.
What would I have wanted more? !!!
The moments spent next to you are a real imperial
paradise.
We clothed our love with the starry mantle of the night,
falling asleep in its peace and quiet.
The hours have passed, when?
At dawn they drew my dream - you were gone, but the
memory of a summer night and the smell of your hair
remained.
In my soul I will keep the aroma of jasmine and musk for
next summer.

Then I will invite you to the waltz and give you a

paint blue, the silence...

Pray to God

I closed my eyes for a moment... all around was fog and


smoke - mothers desperately looking for their children;
children looking for their parents, brothers, sisters.
A terrifying commotion, fear and horror mixed with the
pain of torn souls.
I look up at the sky and shout:
- where are you God? !!!...
Lord, please think, holy peace come down to earth!

Enlighten me, Lord!

Enlighten me, Lord


I don't know where I am
On what road
What star
I want to arrive
What are you wearing?
So I can stop

99

What thoughts
I was listening to
What rains will come
To which source
To cool my heart
The longing soul
Let me share it
Enlighten me, Lord
My time is too short
So many
They remained to be done
God help me
Give me peace from heaven
You untie the mystery
From nights with mystery
My time
Give him another time
Designed by You
Those from Olympus!

beak.
As she approaches what happiness and jubilation of their
siblings.

leave the job.
We must wait for a while and think positively.
This is God's world.
God will do everything for us.
Nothing is impossible
In the world.
There is always time for a good beginning.

Then with this positivity miraculously a surge of new sun


will rise with the
splendour of its smile.
All positivity will be flooded
within us.
We will feel ecstatic again.
Our inner soul will speak positive language
A sea of change will again envelope our life.
All blissful things will happen.
And make our life glorious.

Peace connects all buildings

The remedy of my soul is justification in work


Which must be equal and clear
Peace and tolerance will unite all around me selflessly
For peace can always save people from trouble

Tolerance of reason and unity in people


It should be generous and wonderful
For peace always unites all that I dream of
A clean body and a healthy mind of life

107
midnight in the garden of peace

I, human must be prepared for everything


Because peace can be easily disturbed
And roses can always bloom in the field
Which will be fragrant and beautiful

Life is the awakening; I have everything in life


For peace always adorns my courts
And does not allow them to disappear easily
Because beauties always have to be discovered
As midnight beats its time slowly

I often say that we are not humanitarian in fact


But I have that part in the bottom of the soul carved
Because if I share everything we have with others reluctantly
Means that we are again some people looking for a whistle

Sometimes people don't want to understand us because of


fellow citizens
But they don’t have to, because we are special people actually
Who help others at any time of the day or night
Bringing charity to other people next to us with a smile!

My happiness is the greatest

When I see others around me


How they treat others really
It makes me sad and ashamed
Because they have no desires like me

108
international poetry antology

To help the rainbow selflessly


To that peace when I close my eyes
Be equal in their black eyes
Which sorrows count for hours and days

Peace, the name itself drives me crazy


Because I know I was born with goodness
If others cannot be human for a moment
I know that my presence will help them

If the flower continues to grow properly and wonderfully


It means that it has a reason to live
And all with the harmony I give to the world
So I give people equal treatment

Sometimes many resent me for my behaviour


But I believe I am a special colors painted
And to have goodness from a young instilled
Because I don’t let people be sad

Either a little or a big help


I give everything I have from the heart
Because I know what it's like not to have a part of something
And lost in this piglet of paralyzed sorrow

I believe that everything has its weight and honest story


That’s why I don't like to be sad for others

109
midnight in the garden of peace

For the mine heart is always full always and coloured with
wonderful arias
Those too late wax colors of charity!

Peace at midnight

Peace unites people of dear will


Peace justifies all the means of beauty described
Charity to the perfect man always
Who is unwilling to give anything selflessly

A smile is enough for my happiness


For peace in the earthly regions is full of sorrow
I would really mean a lot if I could
Peace justifies everything we dream and want

We must love others around us


If I want my inner peace to be clear
We, people are selfless people who want to give a lot
And the best goal is through the little things
Which make others happy around us

In return, I must be generous and picky


Although I may not be like that at the bottom of our souls
I know that everything we create is desire
To be justified living beings full of beauty
Because peace must be special and clear

110
international poetry antology

Children should not be forced to do chores


Because the most beautiful event is when peace makes sense
And that everything can be achieved by agreement

Let love open all the doors of the gate


Heavenly paradise is open to us and always beautiful colors
Painted with golden strings and peace doves
That fly around us and hug us wonderfully!

Love spreads wings

It’s wonderful when I give a part of myself


I share happiness and sorrow with those
Who today remain alone in the world
And have no help from other people

They need my help now actually


Because it can never be otherwise
I have to be ready for anything
For I am the only hope in them, these people goodness

Forgotten without anything, hungry and thirsty


They seek help; it’s easiest to walk away from someone
That is why I who have a better position in the state
I have to give the maximum part of myself

111
midnight in the garden of peace

My happiness is when I see others happy around me


And when they capture my happiness with laughter
Which is always the best medicine of all
In a life that is transiently coloured

I have to help everyone around me always


Because I don't know who can need help
Although they are sometimes war stables or natural disasters
Always ready for anything at any time, day and night

I don't know if I will survive some things lightly


But that's why I know I'll be stronger than anything
For I am a hunter who is of the word
And I do not want others to die for me

Peace will always be achieved by clear-cut


I’m ready for it always
Although the consequences may be great
I know that anything is possible no matter what

May peace shine in the bottom of my soul


Because I can't be indifferent
When I see others around me
How much they suffer because of all the little things I have!

Inner peace of life

When I give I am a happy man


I don't expect people to hug me
In rural areas gardens grow and yield
Us a lot of good cereals and sweets

They are struggling, I give them money again


To feed themselves and their families
For it is little for one day or cycle of life
Charity awakens in me various memories

When I was a kid, I knew one thing


That all my life I will give everything I have
And that I will not seek evil in others
Because we are all evil in one part

Peace rules the world even though it has become hectic


I give everything I have and I don't have
Because my desire is when I see other people
How they rejoice in my successes

I hug all my wonderful little memories


I don't want them to run away from me
For peace in the yard always after a day of fatigue
It gives me pride to do a lot of things

113
midnight in the garden of peace

I work day and night for such people who need help
Because the biggest mistake is to walk away from someone
And with me it is not questionable for a moment
Because I love all people even though they don’t love me
sometimes!

* who am I *

Who are you and who is he?


I'm a human
When did the colors separate us?
Your skin color is like honey
And an abundance of tenderness
The whiteness of your skin is like a cloud
And the tone of melodies
When do we differentiate skin colors?
Our unity is safe
And our brotherhood is reassurance
When you bleed
Heart and artery palpitations
The word of truth rises and the lines are written
Me and you for peace title
Peace is not different for the two of them
And religions are not divided
When the church bells ring
ears hear
We are two sides of a coin that are not different

* sky crying *

The tragedy of the sun bathed in beautiful eyes


The murmurs of the chest flattened the sky
Spring slept on the surface of the earth, its drums beating
for peace
Offerings of dreams poems floating on the river of
immortality
Deliberately leaving the world
The dimensions of the void shook in astonishment
These doses of Poetry are not enough
To reduce desertification of ideas
Silence broke out crying from the horror of the pain
Your parts are dead...
And you're lying on a bed succumbing to this displacement
The smell of boiling pots of human meat pervaded the place
Mouths demand their strength...
O you who sleep in this blackness, loosen the bonds of life

* Peace *

How can you kill the feeling


of non-existence inside you...
Defeat the dark thoughts
that creep into your depths

117
midnight in the garden of peace

How do you fight insomnia anximety?


And that spectrum that inhabits your room
How do you get rid of a spider?
Who weaves its threads at a corner
of your idea
How can you scream at the top of your silence?
she says
I want to live in peace
It was just a confession

* wings *

Why are you suffocating me in rhyme?


Give your words wings to fly high
Did you ever meet me?
Yes, you are a cloud fleeing from a dream
When we were allowed to dream
Did you leave the sky?
No, I didn't leave her...
She broke up with me..
she was in pain
She was forcing me to rain
I lost my strength
It's too much to repeat that with me
Do you desire death?

118
international poetry antology

I bless the smell of death


If it is for this dirt
did you love
It was more than that
I feel unconscious
between two palms
The first scattered roses
The second plays the melody of immortality
It's like this hoarseness is a musical note
lost from the cut
I wanted to play it a long time ago
are you breathing
You are an antenna above this earth
Watery... wine...a nd a piece of bread
are you alive?
Addiction to your perfume makes me feel
circulating blood in a vein
Who are you?
I am the shadow of that fugitive cloud...
Who are you?
I am a dream written on paper

Birds of a Feather Flock Together

Birds of a feather flock together,


Not to cause a storm
But all together united in their desire
To spread love, peace and compassion everywhere.

Then when they get together


They love their tight union
Like the fresh bread on the table
They liven up the world.

Wherever they get together in the world


They’re brothers to humanity,
Temperance and kind words,
Not to malice and greed.

They learn to live a good life through their journeys


And the Lord is protecting them,
He knows that those that get together
Do good and spread it everywhere.

The Longing for Peace

Peace, you’re the white rose of goodness


That embellishes Earth and the whole world,
You’re making the sun rise for me
You’re making the moon come out for me at night.

Peace, you’re a magic word


From the heavens above to the earth,
My thoughts are meeting you
And we’re intertwining under the blue sky.

Peace, thaw the world’s frozen heart,


So that it will never forget you,
Be our gentle permanent peace
And remain our light forever.

Be my friend and longing to the world


And be helpful to the whole world,
Embellish the sky and the earth,
May your mission and word be holy!

Love Conquers Love

I’m constantly looking for justice


And it’s hard to find,
Youth is idling away with each passing day
And I never gained my freedom.
123
midnight in the garden of peace

Peace, you’re the song of the bird


Oh, beautiful song of the nightingale,
Who are you waiting for?
Give us peace, the moon and the sun.

Choose the freedom of life


Let’s be victorious too,
Revitalize the years of our youth
To be the brave heroes of love.

Let there be flowers, let there be life


And worldly paradise,
If there isn’t life on earth
Don’t go looking for it because you won’t find it!

Mother and I

I’m writing to you from the cradle,


I want to see your face
Before you turn into a desert,
To not lose hope.

Peace echoes through my poems


In all foreign languages,
I want to spread love,
I want people to be friendly.

124
international poetry antology

Many insidious people


Are clipping our wings every day,
Many people are deceiving us
Making us shed a flood of tears.

Peace, where are you hiding?


I want to see your face!
I know that it’s too much hatred in the world,
But I want you with all my heart!

With Every Sunrise

With every peaceful sunrise


Love brings more light
Life is chemistry and energy
It flows smoothly through our veins.

The universe is our connection


Let it be our inner peace
It never hurts the man
That glorifies his mission.

Live harmoniously, man


In the universe of your creation
Let the flame of life caress the countries
Every time the sun will rise.

125
midnight in the garden of peace

Never be deceitful
Like the wandering cloud, man,
May you be like the spring water
That is kept in the longing soul.

For Peace

We need a lot of willpower


And an absolute global unity,
For everyone to shout loudly,
“Long live Universal Peace!”

Peace is the blue flower,


Peace is our mother
And a consolation to our hearts
Like the rays of the sun.

When there’s peace, there’s understanding,


Love and compassion are sweet,
If there’s peace on Earth,
The people retain their dignity.

May peace be the supreme master


Of the old and new world,
Love peace confidently
For the welfare of the world!

126
international poetry antology

Make Peace!

Make peace as regular as clockwork


And don’t make things worthless,
Open the gates to peace
And close the gates of death.

Let life and love


Pass through every heartbeat,
Let mother pass like the sun in the daytime,
Let silence pass like the moon at nighttime.

The light is love all the way,


It expresses the desire to love,
It’s joy and forgiveness
And the rise of humanity.

The light of peace is light,


The light of the wisdom of the world,
Peace has to be holy
And not how the enemies think of it!

Appreciate Humanity

Appreciate humanity and peace


And protect them from harm
With love, generosity,
Compassion and constructively.
127
midnight in the garden of peace

Peace is the call of hope


For the harmonious society,
The drop that awes the hearts
And that shines beautifully.

Understanding draws honor


Like a flower in all its splendor,
It brings glory, happiness,
It revives it and it brightens it.

Peace smiles at people,


It’s tenderness over the hearts,
Peace smiles at springs
And makes people triumph.

Open the Doors

Open the doors and let goodness come in,


So that God can smile at us,
Love is deeply sympathetic,
Don’t use your mind for bad purposes.

You have to love to understand life


Give her a passionate kiss,
So that you could taste
The good radiant happiness.

128
international poetry antology

Goodness paints the faces of the flowers


And brings a smile on men’s faces,
Let’s be born of great love,
Let’s proudly wear it under the sun.

Let the azure enter in your soul


Love is in the words and harmony,
Be who you are, brother,
Genuine noble love.

To Me

To me, my native land,


Romania is a pure language
Nothing is more loving
Than my blessed country.

The flag reminds me


About my country’s daring deeds,
The lands are deep longings
I didn’t leave to another country.

When the sun is rising in the morning,


I say, “Good morning, My Native Land!”
My mother tongue has a mellifluous voice
And my nation is faithful.

129
midnight in the garden of peace

In my Dacian1 country,
Bread is made just by saying the word wheat,
The love for my country is like a flame
And the native land is a home in times of peace.
1 Geto-Dac in the Romanian text (n. tr.).

Peace

I would always put you beside me,


As I travel on the path of my life,
I would cover your soul with love
To have a longing for you forever.

I would plant you in every corner of the world


To feel your taste of bread
I would want to look fondly at you
And to love you day and night.

I would want to hear you in the songs of the birds


And to see you in the red poppies on the field,
I would want you to be with me during springtime
And to be the joy of my entire life.

I would want you to sleep with me,


So that I may embrace you when I’m longing for you
I would want to have a wonderful life with you
With the entire universe from earth to sky.

We Need

We need peace
For the meek children,
We need peace
For the poor fellows.

We need peace,
Eternity shouts in the universe
That it’s so much blood and death
That they’re howling like crazy.

We need a lasting
Absolute peace
We need peace
And the infinite light.

We need peace
And an altogether good world,
We need life
And eternal holy love.

No one is giving me courage.
I made myself brave.

Change Of Time

The evening shadows were slowly lengthening. And I was


passing through a forest.
The ants were looking for their food.
At the same time they were whispering to each other.
After a while a bird came flying.
He started eating the ants.
Some would crawl into their burrows to save their lives.
The bird flew away after filling his stomach.
A few hours later when I passed by again,
The bird lay dead there.
And ants were making it part of their diet. Unfortunately,
it doesnot take long for time to change.

The Peacock

In a beautiful dense forest,


By the stream, I did rest.
Saw a colourful peacock there,
To quench his thirst, came here.
His break was sharp and eyes were round,
Legs were long and body was sound.
His voice was very sarcastic and sweet,
With poor and needy, he liked to meet.
Half fed himself and half fed the neighbour,
He taught to count children one, two, three and four.

138
international poetry antology

He started to show his dance to everyone,


And he enchanted the whole atmosphere done.
He was proud of his pretty face,
Liked the truthfulness, peace and grace.
Then he spread his long tale like out a fan,
All started swinging children, young, old and man.
He did not let sad hearts get bored with his dance,
Sometimes he would get tired by chance.

My Greatest Achievement

There was a dove's nest on a tree by the river.


In the nest there was a nestling.
The nestling fell into the river,
with his nest due to strong winds.
And began to dive into the river.
Seeing this scene, the dove was sighing and moaning.
And was tormented in a world of helplessness.
I immediately jumped into the river.
And saved the nestling of dove from drowning.
And handed him over to the dove.
I was very happy to save his life.
Saving the nestling was the greatest achievement of my life.

who built a sky inside the darkness
digging the stony clouds plucked
the sunny days for distribution to the people living in
supplications

Bearing an ocean of kindness when the omnipotent word


came out from prison
living behind all bitterness of long life
when he embraced all foes and pals
then the the world heard echoes of the ringing bell,
removing the iron chain of salvation

The word which I loved in my silver days intermittently, I


went to the holy land to see the word nereby, he was the living
legend in the chronicles of Black Africa

When he opened his eyes, then billions of


Peace doves flight to the sky singing the songs of light
His innocent smile disarmed enemies and changed them guys
When he took breath, the human race
became fresh

When he was singing the song of humanity, people


enjoyed the rhymes

their homes becoming fighting horses, scattering roses of
blood on their thorny roads

Because the thirst of freedom is stronger than the love of


their beloved
for what they await as draught waits eagerly to hear the
rainy songs of summer

Freedom, which becoming hope of rays of the sun, walks


on door to door of the darkness of eyes of the exploited
people, peeping the helpless through
theirt leaking roof of huts

Becoming dreamful moon at night, bloating the sweating


checks of the tired working people, the moon sings
lullabies melodiously, inviting sleep for the hungry
children

153
midnight in the garden of peace

Freedom, hearing whose sounds, the wall


of darkness in silence is bound to be broken down, then
wearing feathers of birds, hopes and dreams fly to the high
singing the songs of the sky, celebrating the rhythm of
freedom

"Bridge"

My most favorite man made is


Bridge

I have faith on all the bridges


On which the people came and go
From one bank to another
Along with them their customs
Civilization and cultures are
Abridged

Standing on a bridge
Leaning against the railing
I like to see me in the mirror of the river
Sometimes I enjoy the race of cockboats
Of midge
another time spreading fishing nets towards the
edge

154
international poetry antology

Most often when I think about


the workers who put on pillers under the deep water
Then my heart becoming to
freeze

Unfortunately while a bridge blust


by black hands then lives of the both banks bleed
And ceased

Yes, there are available Sand stone and


beaks to repair a broken bridge
But it is not easy to rejoin or reconstruct the broken
conjunction
between broken hearts of
humen bridge

So I am standing as a Knight
With a sword of words
On the bank of the river of humanity
To defend kindness and fraternity
For which I make me
Pledge.

155
midnight in the garden of peace

"I am aspiring"

My eyes are always in appentency for a rain bathed azure


blue sky
for flying my bird of will there which is free of bondage
free of boundaries
free of flood of innocent blood
free of pollution of bombard
no warhoop heard from anywhere
no unwanted oppressions suppressions

My ears are foraging to not hear the


crying in the wilderness of the hoi polloi migrated to unknown
land only to save lives from unexpected cyclone of time
not to hear the screaming of birds and howling animals of
forest, becoming
homeless for occupation of terrorism and enviousness

Pathetic scenes of mountains make bleeding by nails of giddiness


lamenting rivers which are making breathless for garbage
throwing by the selfish senseless
cultivation fields devouring by skyscrapers
always hurt my heart

Hence I am aspiring in the convergence


of the commiserations of sea and magnanimous sky for an
ocean of

156
international poetry antology

super sovereign beningency for the earth which will be


reawaking from the specific word human

"My Will On This Birthday"

Today on the first full moon of the spring


I am arriving on your golden seashore
Where my heart is echoing

Since the my first spring of life


Being a costermonger
Keeping my heart in a silver vessel
Guided by the soul of my demsel
In quest of a faithful consumer
I have been wandering

Following the wheel of time


Ignoring the call of crime
Showing the seeds of love
I am arriving the land of hymn

Yes, my mother's soul


Told me to become bold
And to beware of the market
Where life can be buyed and sold

157
midnight in the garden of peace

Today is the specific first spring


Suitable for me to make my will
For handed over and taken over
Weting in the flower's shower

You please do the unsigned sign


Giving me a costless cost
Assuring me with your
Voiceless voice

As I am standing face to face


On your seashore
You pl see where
My heart is mirrored
Which is hurted by the
Heartless arrows

You can view the wounded part


Floating in the time and tide
Fighting with the shadows of night
Without compromising with the
Storm and thunder
I have committed
A lots of blunder

Yet my heart has not lost it's purity


I have saved simplicity and fertility

158
international poetry antology

Which will be lead to the divinity


For which I have given you authority

You embrace my holy river


Inside your wavelet feathers
As in my river of blood
There are no division
In the name of different religion

You take my evergreen forest


Of my purified heart
Under your long breath
Where there is no separate regions
Spreading to the last horizon

You may think that I am lunatic


No, never, my heart is still poetic
Hence I am ever romantic

Please let my twilight sky


Find all dreams in your eyes
Who knows how to honour your dignity
In you vast ocean of humanity.

Life vision: love and peace

As everyone has a life-vision


Serves in reality as a mission
That all the more fans the flame of passion
Manifests in a variety of self-expression.

Filling with love and compassion


That emptiness becomes illusion
Rightly tracks out the obsession
Striving with the joys of fusion.

Happiness even with less possession


As we work towards progression

161
midnight in the garden of peace

In battling all forms of depression


For humanity to be lifted off from oppression.

Fairness and justice for all is a commission


Democracy upheld in full accession
Hatred uprooted in cohesion
Love and peace intensifies succession.

Peace beyond borders

Turf
Territories
Limits
Boundaries.

Laid out for one common goal


Respect for space be observed
Upholding peace among all
Thus, harmony preserved.

Borders
Points
Ends
Margins.

Work tirelessly to make ends meet


Taking all the heat as to beat

As love for peace transcends in ways unfathomable.

Peace and humanity

Pacifies the heart and mind


Eternity we all try to find
A true love that bind
Compassion that is seen by the blind
Everything that should never be left behind.

Healing from the pain brought of war


Underscore what brought us far
Measures combatted to never mar
Ambiguity of those at par
Never to conceal the shining star
Illuminating without tar
The truth behind peace that rings from afar
Yes, humanity redeemed with peace as stellar!

In peace we trust

Love and understanding goes together.


Growth is seen in many ways
Through the influential supervision of our leader
Peace is seen as progressive in the succeeding days.

163
midnight in the garden of peace

May all of us think of cooperating


And live with dignity and unity
Give respect for everything
To preserve peace in our community.

Peace within

In search of the answer that we need


To the question that lies beneath
How peace can be achieved
And all heads be adorned with wreath.

While all life’s philosophy and mission


Centers to creation of a credo
Driven by a vision
Peace to replace all clashes and rido.

An open communication seeking a common ground


Prioritizing children and their future
Rights be enjoyed and never to injustice be bound
And to uphold peace and to live lives that are secure.

Be free from all forms of fear


Allow cooperation to reign
With Leaders lending an ear
Peace within be our campaign.

O Peace! For your Realm to Sparkle

O, peace! Where have you gone to?


Steadfast to prevail and conquer,
The ever virulent corona that exist.
All lambs are bleating high,
Some are already gone apart.

We are holding up in trust


For you to show up and guard.
Tears are moving like the Nile,
Maybe 'cause we lacked in dignity
Or our disparity in actual live action,
That ever made you to leave.

No more peace to see anymore,


It appears to be bleak all over,
In your absence all got fagged.
Come in fairness to embrace all,
We implore you in veraciousness,
Our spells are echt from the heart.
Come to conquer the mortal corona
And restore the peace that we had

170
international poetry antology

Of euphoria and gaiety always close by.

Our promise of regard to cultivate forever,


To each other in quality and equality,
In your realm to sparkle in haziness,
Like the moon, so unadulterated and superb.

Let the Devil be in Devil's Shape

Satan has arrived, unique makeup, it owns,


In every household and in every country.
We are to melt our heart as fast as candles
And to see our shelters floating like an ark,
The revenge, so tactical and gradatory to take.

The regard, high in simplicity to declare,


By us being reliant, chartless to reality behind,
Not in the flesh like to Cain, through Enoch,
But had come in different sorts at once for all
Pledged to fulfill the promise made to God.

The devil, smart as a whip seemed in human


To use them as a golem to wipe away forever
And to make eviternal waste; a pliant nature,
That don't crumble to dismantle it abruptly
For its awaiting might to usurp God's earth.

171
midnight in the garden of peace

Poles weep with rage owing to dim hopes,


By an inch to climb down, too weak to stand
And the warmth of mingy air harsh to rub it
Under the fiery sun, an ark to float roughly
Due to men in devil's mind to ruin and vanish.

Let the devil be in devil's shape, always feeble,


Ne'er to win, but God's plan to shine for all,
With the united hands to create new Eden
To relish the gifted nature and to let it glisten
So that the snow persist, air to stay fresh.

Syllabus of Ants

In the colony, I see ants so integrated in lives,


Sociable by nature, in communities underground.
Like sheep, they're steered by their shepherd
For mucho eggs to lay and to build the nation
Like a train to march and to entrepot eatage
Not for their kind alone, but for other livestock too
For vitality to come and hold the ecosystem
In the colony to subsist and to take in respect
Through global mind to shine through equality
Compassion, being their mission of unity.

The syllabus uniquely patterned for livelihood,


Free of ego, envy, jealousy, racism and hatred

172
international poetry antology

For the communal desire hides in every brain,


Peace being their common goal, free of conflicts.

Alas! What I see loosely of my kind are unkind


With the scattered syllabus; no more on clasp.
We call ourselves human of superior ability,
But our abilities, matchless to the tiny's home
In any account to count filled with inequalities.
I beg you, oh human, better pray to your idol,
To solace you to get hold of their forms and visit,
And to incur their education, not what we practiced
Back again for a newer syllabus to design
For a better world to build, more adept than theirs
Or else, they shall spit on us for our deeds.

The One and Only

The one and only;


those mentally vacillant;
enervated in the verdict
to chase their life, fancy impuissance in others
no other things that are decent
'Cause when he sees others doing well.

The rusty dust gets in his optics


and shouts at the tip of the high hills.
Withal, he persists the black sheep,

173
midnight in the garden of peace

be distinguished in their eyes


among those people who're wise and industrious.

Have such people continue with their will


to cut into the hole, deep enough until the hell
with their typical mind that suits their deeds
not to be fitted anywhere among anyone.

Solidarity of Minds

Peace isn't far if credence becomes alive,


Like the bond that show up in the rainbow high slants.
The world, so deplorable in its affection in contrasts,
Of shades of various cultures to exhibit its worth.
Ay man! Wake up, raise your brain before the nightfall,
With the light confined by, to break all lacks, of concern,
Of convictions and social orders that exist to parcel all,
Away from God, for shrillness to welcome.

Such flawed gauges, to benefit man, capacity to come,


To immingle among all reasons, all living in the double,
Away from uneducated traditions, so unrealistic real
For heftier bonds to fix, yet for a better future.
The cross in confidence, ties those dissimilar to mend,
Wake up man, joyfully after, for better stroll towards ages.

A sudden storm

She came unexpectedly,


like a sudden storm
and conquered the world
with great speed.
At first we thought
she was made up,
then she wouldn’t come to us.
And she arrived like a tornado
destroying everything in front of her.
She doesn't care
about name, nation, or religion.
She doesn't choose who to mow.
In this war,
she is on one side
and the whole world on the other.
It isn’t easy to fight
an invisible and unknown enemy.
She kills in a row,
forbids hugging and socializing.
The world is united
in this unequal struggle.
There are many heroes,
but also too many victims.
Prayers are heard
in all the languages of the world,

176
international poetry antology

for all the victims,


for all the brave saviors.
And now,
after a year of pain and fear,
we hope the end of the pandemic is near.
When one day
all this becomes a thing of the past,
will the lesson be learned?
Will we remember
how important touch is,
how important a hug is,
how we are all equal in death
and that we should be equal
in life as well?

Golden flok

I swim on my back and sing an old song:


"Is it nice, is it nice, ... my seagull."
Above me, a flock of tame pigeons
flies over the lake in regular formations.
I notice that not everyone is white.
Pigeons of different colours fly together.
The sun is in the west and is very hot,
its rays illuminate the flock
and the colours of the birds change
as the angle changes.

177
midnight in the garden of peace

At one point they become all golden.


A beautiful sight.
Their golden wings flicker
and resemble fireflies on a summer night.
The sky is crystal clear,
golden dots flicker above us
and thought is born,
there is enough sky and sun for everyone,
and, under them, we are all equal and,
as such, golden.

A little more to last

Nights and days,


joys and sorrows,
birth and death,
gray and purple…
Everything spins in a circle,
goes and comes.
We are scared, excited,
tired, happy sometimes.
But,
no matter how hard
is the ride,
we don't want
to get off that carousel.
We want to be a part of it,

178
international poetry antology

a little more, a little more ...


And no one knows
how much time he has left.
And no matter how uncertain it is,
we are surprised
by the stop
and we are unprepared
for the end.
We are thirsty
for another drop,
another moment,
before we are covered in dust,
before we are enveloped in silence,
A little more, a little more,
to last.

Let's go to the light

Ladies, gentlemen, indecisive!

What's the problem?


There are no difficult decisions.
Decisions are easy.
Do you know why?
Because every time
we already know the solution.

179
midnight in the garden of peace

In the dark,
nothing moves forward.

We can always disappear.


Let’s try to live on planet Earth.

We need to fight
for goodness in ourselves
because we have to pass it
on to others.

Let's stop competing


in search of fun
in someone's defeat.

Let's head for the light!

Peace

Let peace flow as fast as a mountain river,


let it warm like the warm rays of the sun!
Let peace resound like a song,
let it grow like ivy along the walls!
Let peace spread like air,
let it spill like rain!
Let peace fly high like an eagle,
let it go fast like a train!

180
international poetry antology

Let it spread like good news,


let it fall out of all hands!
We all need peace like a song, like water,
like the sun, like air ...
We need it fast, very fast,
and it should last, and it should last!
Peace in the world, peace with God,
peace in the soul, peace for all!

You don't need a lot

Do you know how small you are


when you prove your greatness
to someone smaller than you?
Do you know how weak you are
when you show your strength
over someone who is weaker than you?
Do you know how cowardly you are
when you show your courage by overcoming those
who are more powerless than you?
When you respond to a gentle word with a curse,
when you respond to caressing with rudeness,
when you respond to the love given by ignoring it,
what do you expect?
You’ll get fear in view, humility and retreat,
a false image of power and strength.
You’ll get everything, but don’t expect respect.

181
midnight in the garden of peace

You need so little to be great, and strong and brave!


A kind word and a gentle touch are never too much.

Hope is all we need

Day after day, year after year,


the door opens for new things.
We cling to the old and the familiar,
while waiting to see what life brings.
It’s hard for those who live in fear,
when they are afraid of future mornings,
who are afraid of change and, to them,
every day is similar.
It’s important to enter the new tomorrow with a smile
and embrace the future as an adventure.
Life passes at such a speed.
To continue the race, hope is all we need.

It’s a difficult path

We see neither a sunny day nor blossoming valleys


when our head is full of problems and worries.
And in vain the sun that smiles and the distances that call,
in our minds it’s always night and always fall.
We carry our head with us wherever we go
and our thoughts go with us, and our sorrow.
It’s a difficult path and the struggle is unceasing,

182
international poetry antology

but such is life, eternal battle and struggling,


striving to break the darkness,
striving to overcome loneliness.
And the desire to light our way on a bright day,
that there are no obstacles in our way.
It’s hard, but the goal pushes us forward.
There in the end, only in the end, are success and reward.

There is magic

There is something miraculously beautiful


in the poet's mind,
in how he lowers words into colorful pearls,
magical pearls that understand other souls,
cling to other hearts and ennoble them.

There is a magical way in which poetry


manages to touch those who love it.
It’s a magic that cannot be explained by science,
that the poetic soul understands when it’s by itself,
in silence.

There is also a miracle above all miracles:


with one push of a button,
the beads of verse begin to fly
and fly around the planet.
The world of poets

183
midnight in the garden of peace

becomes a world without borders,


and such a path is light for others.

What a wonderful feeling!


A poet sends away his precious pearls,
knowing that hundreds of hearts,
all over the world,
will open to embrace them.

Then loneliness is no longer loneliness,


then sadness is no longer sadness,
wounds don’t hurt so much,
because the touch of poetry is the healing touch.

The flow of words

I keep the words in my bosom to ripen,


to each be crystal clear,
clear as a clear sky, then,
when their time comes,
to be ready and come out of me
in perfect order.

I choose words
like you choose roses for a bouquet of love,
to be fresh and fragrant,
so that when they flow,

184
international poetry antology

they flow like fresh spring water


that you drink.
You drink and you never have enough.

I look for words to lower them into pearls.


Sometimes it's easy
and sometimes they run away from me,
and I have to catch them.

Words are like a fertile garden


full of flowers and fruits.
Sometimes there are weeds in that garden.
They should be carefully picked
and placed in a heart basket,
cleansed of thorns and toxins.

When it's so pure, the word heals


and the wounded hearts drink it thirstily.
When the right hour comes,
my words will flow,
harmonious as a rainbow,
gentle as the whisper of leaves.

Love life

Life takes and life gives,


but love lives in all of us.

185
midnight in the garden of peace

And just when we think it disappears,


in a new form it appears.
It’s there in the spring day,
in the scent of flowers,
in the sunset and on the clear night sky
when the stars wink at us.
Love is in children's smiles and their games.
We fall in love
and want to burn in that flame.
And when we are separated,
love lives
in our heart,
in our memories.
It’s in the smell of food,
in the sound of the waves,
in the yellowed photos,
in old melodies.
No one can kill love
or replace its trace.
Love is what we all need
to embrace.

Peaceful mind

A tranquil mind generates power.


If all we see isn't the darkest hour
We see ourselves hapless and meek
Within seethes a conviction, we aren't weak

191
midnight in the garden of peace

As everything will come to pass


Even our engraved personas wouldn't last
This situation is temporary and a solution will come
When we least expect it, optimum results we welcome

No matter how bad the situation is


There is just one who will never miss
as His omnipotence ends all anguish
For inside the pit of lamentations we needn't languish

God's mercy and grace is all we need


To be totally emancipated from man's greed
To trust Him with all our life
As from His palm we reap our blessings so rife.

Genuine kindness

Life is never easy


As it's a painful process
Every day is a struggle
Every moment is a step towards our graves.
Every happening should be charged to experience

Yet it's beyond our comprehension


To know why some lay on a bed of roses
While others lay on the mud
We all live in a human society

192
international poetry antology

Where the ideal existence is to be humane


Worried lest I'd be starving, I'd give
I'm guided by a conscience that breathes
And feels the misery of my fellows

It goes beyond material aid


Having a listening ear,
A tight embrace,
A warm smile,
A nice pat on the shoulder or my mere presence
Can do wonders
Can move mountains
Simple gestures for my heart's simple treasures.

Small acts of humanity

Humanity is more than just being a philanthropist


It is that trait of being humane in an inhuman society.
As nomads of the modern world,
We fail to realize that we live in excesses
We have so much of everything we wanted
At any moment Having a heart that shares to the needy, is
humanity
Being selfless in the midst of our personal predicaments,
is humanity
Feeding the hungry on the palm of your hand, is humanity
Being a person for others, is humanity.

193
midnight in the garden of peace

Selfless love

The Living Saint


As we regarded her
Her heart and soul
She relentlessly offered
She served the poor,
The sick and the dying.
She opened the door
For the blind, the aged,
The disabled and lepers.
She extended unconditional love
To every being in the slums.
Mother Theresa,
truly you are A Goddess in disguise
Your altruistic nature will never be forgotten.

Measure of true success

Adding titles to your name


You thought would bring you fame
Attaining degrees in school
Wouldn't make you less of a fool
The essence of true success
Is purely on humanitarian causes
A man is revered for good deeds
Lauded for feeling every heart that bleeds

194
international poetry antology

Humans are we as God made us


To pity the hapless without a fuss
A little act of compassion
Is always a humane reaction
We have a lifetime to amass wealth
A heart to sustain anyone's health
Lest we'd be hungry, let's give
For we never know 'til when they'd live
Cultivate in our core, the zest to share
As what the word needs is our care
Help wholeheartedly whenever, wherever
Ditch selfish interest whatever the weather.

Beautiful world through my eyes

The world is a beautiful creation of God with full of nectar.


The sky is full of nectar
The mountains are full of nectar
The streams are full of nectar
The green woods are full of nectar
The flowers.
The earth
The sky
The mountains

197
midnight in the garden of peace

The ocean
The rivers
Where ever I am looking
through my eyes I am looking nectar.
We people are to receive
the nectar from the beautiful earth
to enjoy it.
Nothing is in the world
which is unsuitable for you.
If you see in the good eyes
everything you will look good
for you and
If you see in the bad eyes
everything you will look bad.
Nothing in the world is bad rather
Everything is good and full of nectar
Since the world is a paradise and
We are it's inhabitants,
We are so fortunate that
you have born in the Womb
of the heavenly mother and
we will sing the song
for the greatness of it

198
international poetry antology

Boardeerless world

He who a generous,
Always clean in behaviour,
To establish norms of conduct
And free from all attachments in life,
He has renounced everything.
Even though worldly he would appear,
To carry out worldly duties
That kind man embraces
the world is my family.

United be our purpose,


Harmonious be our feelings,
Collected be our minds,
As well as various aspects of the universe
Exit in togetherness.

May the heavens be at peace,


May the sky be at peace,
May the earth be at peace,
Peace to water, peace to the trees and nature,
Since all the world is a beautiful platform.
We are all o
The entire world should be free from boundary.
Inspite of many diversities
We should have unity in all respects.

199
midnight in the garden of peace

Every nation should respect the demarketed areas of others


Every nation should respect the sovereignty of others
Every nation should respect the peaceful coexistence
Every nation should respect the sentiments of others.
No country should keep colonial thought.
Now We are moving towards third world war.
This may happen only for boarder disputes.
Which is totally brutal and inhuman.
Everything would happen if the third world war occurs.
Nothing will remain alive.
Only destruction

Therefore we should leave misconception like


It is yours, that is mine.
Nothing is yours
Everything is of the God.
This is the misconception of the narrow minded

Peaceful coexistence

All the old is an one segment as created by God.


It is a gift of the nature that thousands of mountains,
rivers, large forests and many sea beaches.
Man has no contribution in this creation.

We are all his Sons and daughters.


Everyone's body consists of blood and flesh.

200
international poetry antology

On the basis of nationality, creeds, place of birth, colour


we are all equal before the law of the nature.

God has never discriminated areas to areas and men to men.


Discrimination is a man made concept with compact minds.

Since all the world is a beautiful platform.


We are all one one traveller of our life journey.
Since we are the traveler of the same destination
The entire world should be free from boundary.
Inspite of many diversities
We should have unity in all respects.
Every nation should respect the demarketed areas of others
Every nation should respect the sovereignty of others
Every nation should respect the peaceful coexistence
Every nation should respect the sentiments of others.
No country should keep colonial thought.
Now We are moving towards third world war.
This may happen only for boarder disputes.
Which is totally brutal and inhuman.
Everything would happen if the third world war occurs.
Nothing will remain alive.
Only destruction

Therefore we should leave misconception like


It is yours, that is mine.
Nothing is yours

201
midnight in the garden of peace

Everything is of the God.


This is the misconception of the narrow minded
But wise man thinks
All the world is my house
All are my brothers and sisters.
Hence the narrow conception is regretted and the broad
conception is well come.
Thanks, thanks, thanks

Death of Humanity

Hearts beat
For the pain of
the death of democracy
Missing the humanity
Hearts that bleed from
suffering so much.
Suffering from internal pain
What is going on now ?
The mother earth is feeling heavy
Crying sitting alone
Whom to kill and whom to keep ?
The mother earth has given birth
To gentlemen and wickeds.
Can't understand what to do
In this circumstances,
Notorious are beating.

202
international poetry antology

Killing, kidnapping and


Stealing in the day light.
No action against them,
The government is silent and
Even Indolent for observing
Monarchy.
Many people are unruly
Due to maladministration
The leadership is Failed
The intellectual civil society
Is undone.
The gentlemen are afraid of it.
Crazy to find the good path
Anguished hearts.
When God will take incarnation
To save the gentlemen
And demolish the fort of
Notorious
And to teach a lesson
the corrupted politicians.
Since political interference
OverJudiciary and executive is
Gradually killing
the glory democracy..

If you want to purify
Purify your heart
If you want to keep
Keep your words
If you want to cultivate
Cultivate your behaviour
If you want to dress
Dress the wound of others.
If you to remove
Remove your anger
If you want to suppress
Suppress your pride
If you want to express
Express your mistakes
If you want to serve
Serve for the mankind
If you want to win
win you desire
If you want to kill
Kill your enviousness
If you want to write
Write your misdeeds
If you want to fight

If you want to imagine
Imagine the world peace
If want to show
Show your loyalty
If you to find
Find joy within sorrow
If you to search
Search for truth
If you want to hate
Hate the bad qualities
If you want to pray
Pray your parents
If you want to love
Love your motherland
If you want to forget
Forget the past.
If you want to believe
Believe in you work.

Humanity

Life is a struggle
There are tons of lessons to teach
And tons of experiences to share.

Our only strength is to stand up for existence


And we do, dream of tomorrow
All the sw eat pouring in today.

The landlord as a charity back to the dawn


We do not see the light of the letter
We do not know what else.

We are the lack of power of speech


We are the one
Who fell into the curse of God.

Hair to the Lord’s anger


We are struggling with heavy debts
Those we are indebted.

Are not indebted to the debt


We have fallen to this earth for sin
We yarn for shade.
And we the believers
Who lift the fingers
For those children who are hungry for food and knowledge.

Mother

I am your Mother ... and you are my Son.


In malice and envy you killed your brother,
in greed you have destroyed Me innumerable times
with aggression… from war to war.

With your greedy technologies you have poisoned


My soul, and Mine purity You have defiled,
you despise others passionately, as you love yours
selfishness… - you worship a golden calf.
208
international poetry antology

You blaspheme… - you do not exalt your Father and Mother.


Love and gratitude - they are unknown to you.
I tremble with fever, I regain my anger,
You and your children are suffer - the facts are sad.

For you do not know what loyalty is, and that life is a gift –
God’s will was sent down from heaven to earth.
You think ... I'm a bad Mother, because my body
is old... sick, which is furious at you.

You explore the Universe, with the living Mother, you call
on your Stepmother -
you sacrifice millions and millions of your brothers and
their children,
who die of starvation. You are an egocentric celebrating
your success -
Idolater/Pagan, who also manages the lives of children.

My son, you poison me for hundreds of years - and instead


of treating me,
You deny Me because you are egocentric. You don't know,
what is responsibility?
You have hurt both my heart and soul - you are an
egomaniac.
In recovery you hinder Me, because you are... a narcissistic
hypocrite, smug,
and conceited egoist.

209

Confession

I regret …

because I was an egocentric grain of gold,


that spun only around its own axis,
- member of golden youth. My dad
the elite - And nobody was allowed to ask "Who are you".

I regret …

because I was an arrogant golden wire,


a noble ore of tycoon parents
- raw material, that African children...
with hunger, disease and death dug.

I regret …

because I was an prepotent product -


an article of interesting marital relations,
a product and yield of materialistic views
a brand of hubris and loftiness - full of pride.

I regret …

because I was an exploitee and an exploiter,


without love - just scattered golden dust,

210
international poetry antology

without empathy - a delusional and an infatuated creature,


without emotions - a zombie, a cyborg, a robot, a machine.

I regret …

and my heart at long last rises like Christ,


and I can see, that only Mother spins around her axis,
and my soul is finally illuminated by divine grace,
and my Holy Ghost is crying over the hungry African children
- when they ask me "Who are you".

The man and the light

The Light... it gifted the Man its own light,


it was the first gift, that walked Mother Nature,
divine Earth has embraced by its mercy...
creatures on land, in water and air, that searched for their home.

A selfish creature in the Sky was arrogant of his brother,


it wanted to become light brighter than the Light,
out of Sin was born Death - and the gates of Darkness were open,
A man against the Man, and he was no longer... in God's Mercy.

Too much blood was spilled in the history of Inhuman civilization,


let us rise above the wounded, crippled, ill and killed bodies,
let us rise above races, religions, cultures, politics and every nation,
there is only one Man, there is only one Light - human deeds are key.

211
midnight in the garden of peace

Smug mammals

Gentlemen hypocrites, you are... smug mammals,


brats,... rascals... 200 000 years old only,
you imagine you are intelligent beings, o .., you drooling brats,
ostensibly in Homo sapiens, you evolved through the
course of evolution.

Gentlemen snobs, you are... arrogant invertebrates,


brats,... rascals... 200 000 year old only,
you think you are wise creatures, o you industrialists,
ostensibly for the good of man, you have carried out an
industrial revolution.

Gentlemen demagogues, you are ... insolent vertebrates,


brats,... rascals... 200 000 year old only,
you think and speak, you write and you work, o you as
vain pupils,
you do not respect parents, the elderly and the infirm -
rules of ethics.

Gentlemen primitives, you are... greedy and gruff


primates,
brats,... rascals... 200 000 years old only,
because in a few hundred years you managed to sell your
own Mother,
A Mother four and a half billion years old - because of
economic progress.

212
international poetry antology

Love

Unconditional love -
and the Light was stronger than the Sun.
And Man was naked in his humanity,
like a baby in a mother's placenta,
a newborn bathed in holy water.

Conditional love -
and Man imagines himself to be the equivalent of
Unconditional Love.
And I found myself clothed in my solemn envy,…
like my brother in laziness ... and spiritual indifference ...

Loveless love -
and Man imagines that he is above Unconditional Love.
And your brother finds himself clothed in his noble arrogance,…
as well as his brother in a suitable suit of hatred and anger…
and their sister put on a scandalous gown of lust and passion...

And I see hordes of all kinds of uniforms marching:


solemn selfishness, covert greed, official lying, honorable
intemperance,….

With love -
(it's a critical moment)
that the People arm themselves… and the hordes disarm.
