The Cruise missiles do not frighten anyone. We are catching them like fish in a river. I mean here that over the past two days, we managed to shoot down 196 missiles before they hit their target.

An Excerpt.....
sadness is not a reason
and it is not always
beautiful
so be it
let those who cannot bear
bury themselves
we have our own preoccupations
our graves to dig too
our own litany of justifications

Bribes To The Conscience
You are biased to your children
In terms of love and benefits
And silence your conscience with
Justifications as bribes.

And Never Must We Ask Our Beloved
and so never shall we ask our beloved
why she must deserve this love from
my heart why she must know any reason
why she must be loved and why she must
also love in return. There are no justifications
for loving. Just the feeling that someone fits
in there like peg to a hole like air to space
like stars in the galaxy like you and me.
that will be enough.

Justifying
He keeps
Justifying
With others
Why he
Doesn't
Write to me.
Nobody
Asks him
For
Justifications.
Yet he keeps
Reasoning
With them
Why he
Doesn't
Write to me.
Though I
Know that
In love,
All reasons
Fail.

From The Ashes Of Your Phoenix
AS i wait for you
i have become an insomniac
for so many
trivial
justifications
for instance
writing so many poems
that alienate myself
from the world
i have been keeping hope against hope
that someday the dead shall rise from their graves
that love shall have a rebirth
from the ashes
of your phoenix

Y
of all the letters of the alphabet
it is you
that has never been satisfied with an answer
the questioning mind
uses you like
there is nothing more important in this world
except an explanation
always searching for the reasons
and justifications
always asking
if it is worth it
if this really matters
if this is really true
and guilt ridden you stumble upon a stone unturned,
blood stained the knife that fooled your hand:
why?

Why?
Why do the babies starve
There's enough food to feed the world
Why when there're so many of us
Are there people still alone
Why are the missiles called peace keepers
When they're aimed to kill
Why is a woman still not safe
When she's in her home
Love is hate
War is peace
No is yes
And we're all free
But somebody's gonna have to answer
The time is coming soon
Admidst all these questions and contradictions
There're some who seek the truth
Tell me why do the babies starve
There's enough food to feed the world
Why when there're so many of us
Are there people still alone
Why are the missiles called peace keepers
When they're aimed to kill
Why is a woman still not safe
When she's in her home
Love is hate
War is peace
No is yes
And we're all free
But somebody's gonna have to answer
The time is coming soon
When the blind remove their blinders
And the speechless speak the truth
Tell me why do the babies starve
There's enough food to feed the world
Why when there're so many of us
Are there people still alone
Why are the missiles called peace keepers
When they're aimed to kill
Why is a woman still not safe
When she's in her home
Love is hate
War is peace
No is yes
And we're all free

Songs to Sing
Songs are some to stand and sing,
Ulcers in our daily rituals are not to bring.
He is amicable, lovely, like sudden danger;
But they remove his song from the shop as if he was a stranger.
Swallow this song, and inform him more
Like a man is informed about his qualifications.
Song is not disability, but the root of law,
The many people allow reform from justifications.

Show them equal love.
Love and benevolence
That you pour on your children
Are not sure to ensure you returns.
A little crack in evenness of distribution,
Inevitably made at different times
According to your justifications,
Will make them alienated from you.
You get alienated from the affected.
You end up with an orphan look.
To hate alike is better than to love not alike
