Walk Forward
There's nothing you can do
you were created to walk forward.
You can stop there for a while
cry as many tears as you can
but then you have to walk forward.
You can stop there for a while
laugh as loud as you can
but then you have to walk forward.
You can stop there for a while
and be crazy with love
but then you have to walk forward.
There's nothing you can do
you were created to walk forward
so you have to walk forward.
Go on
walk forward
and continue your journey.

Temple Lusts
“Temper loss is not the end
For a man’s lust.”
I had a friend once
who claimed;
he looked forward
to his future
temple loss;
in hopes of freedom
from compulsive emotions.

Forward To The Future
'for my brothers in Palestine'
I look forward to a future where the Adhan will be
called from the empire state building and the armed
guys in pentagon will disarm and walk intelligently
to prayer never killing women and children
So if Israel would kill civilians in palestine, don't rejoice
brother peter, cos they can kill your children too
when their interest is at stake
i look forward to a future where Allah will relive us of the
trial of Israel
I look forward to a future where even if there`s war, fought
by people who hold responsibility for their ideologies, women
and children bereaved of ideologies will be spared
i look forward to a future where wars will no more be fought
and differences will be settled by mere show of strength
i look forward to a future where Linda will no more look
like a dog naked, where peter will know that he has a purpose
on earth to worship Allah and not what the Pentecost preaches
i look forward to a future where the Eiffel tower will have on it
'Allah rules the world'
i look forward to a future where 'Palestine' will be free from occupation.

Forward
'Forward! forward!'
Rang our fathers' battle-cry.
'Forward! forward!'
Norsemen, be our watchword high!
All that fires the spirit and makes the heart's faith bright,
For that we forward go with might
And faithful fight.
'Forward! forward!'
Whoso loves a home that's free.
'Forward! forward!'
Freedom's course must ever be.
Though it shall be tested by doubt and by defeat,
Who will the losses' count repeat
When vict'ries greet?
'Forward! forward!'
Whoso trusts in Norway's day.
'Forward! forward!'
Whoso goes our fathers' way.
Hid in Northern mountains are spirit-treasures true
They shall, when dawns the morning's blue,
Come forth anew.

What Will Mubarak Legacy Be?
A generous humble
meek shinning sinless
man of peace bestowing
freedom seeds of peace
upon beloved people like
liberator Mahatma Gandhi?
Egypt scenes incredible
Mubarak uses horses camels
an enduring not endearing
attack globally televised piece
stoning Egyptian protesters will irk
displeasure brutality paddy not trendy.

The Remembrance
When things are down
And you are out of your mind
Remember just remember
Allah is The Kind.
When your life is in darkness
And nothing is right
Remember just remember
Through the darkness, Allah is The Light.
When nothing makes sense
And you're heading for demise
Remember just remember
It doesn’t make sense, but Allah is The Wise.
When times are troubled
And no one seems to care
Remember just remember
Allah won’t hurt you, He is The Fair.
When your heart is breaking
And your pain makes you fall
Remember just remember
Allah Sees it all.
When you are weak
And the road seems long
Remember just remember
Seek strength from The Strong.
When life is a burden
And everything is unstable
Remember just remember
Allah is The Able.
When the way is cloudy
And there is no one by your side
Remember just remember
Allah is The Only Guide.
When no one wants to listen
Nor is willing to lend an ear
Remember just remember
Allah is always ready to hear.
When you are poor and penniless
And you are stuck in a niche
Remember just remember
Allah is The Rich.
When you are down in your misery
And there is nowhere to run
Remember just remember
You can always run to The One.
And when your wounds are hurting
And your heart is in fear
Remember just remember
Allah is really here.

Humane Great Political Leaders?
God said the master
to the slave is equal
politicians today need
to remember history
previous past generations
humane great leaders
who worked
not for themselves
who worked
for the good
of their nation
their people
who believed in
peace at home
peace in the world

Emptyness
Oh how I miss you
An empty space in my heart
As I remember how you keeped me strong
Your kind words
The joy you gave
As I go to sit by your side and feel at peace
How do I stay strong remembering your kind words
Everything around me reminds me of you
One of the best parts of my destany
May Allah keep me strong
May Allah keep you safe
May we meet again one day my love.

My Love
Remember this
above all else my love.
Thou need never be shy
with me, my love.
Ask the earth of me
ask the very stars:
almost anything would
I freely give to thee.
Bar that
which righteousness forbids me.
I am yours
whenever you need me.
As fleet and swiftly
as the deer
I come to you
when trouble’s near.
My love.

I Will Keep In Touch
I will always keep in touch
though time flows fast between...
there are many spaces rough
between where you and I have been...
yet we share a common journey
told in heartbreak we have seen...
to inspire others we are never early
thus we share same vision seen...
we will take a walk; in wisdom bound together
that we our souls; may always be in touch...
we will share life’s lessons; this hard journey together
in hopes dreams; we will always be in touch...

Keeping still
Keeping his back still
So that he no longer feels his body.
He goes into his courtyard
And does not see his people.
No blame.
True quiet means keeping still when the time has come to keep still, and going forward when the time has come to go forward.
In this way rest and movement are in agreement with the demands of the time, and thus there is light in life.

A Fountain Of Word Wisdom
“There is
a fountain
of word wisdom
in the heart
of the people
who fear... God
my friend” Guru Godfried Manumpil
The question is
why should this be so?
The answer is
God wrote
words of wisdom
into the hearts
minds souls
of those who
seek him earnestly
over a life times journey.

A Voice Apart
I remember! What do I remember?
Read my words. Read. Work it out.
What am I? What am I incarnate?
A man. A man who cannot die.
Who can know what I am?
I cannot die. I live to witness errant life.
To reveal erroneous
world in words eternal.
To write repentance
into serpent heartless men.
Bound by God
to live out tribute
sentenced allotted years.
Bound by God
to fulfill prime
promise seeding past years.
Bound to write
an enlightening awareness
into dawning awakening
foretelling an exalted new age.
Foretelling an expanded
biologically cognitive
“... evolutionary leap forward,
with humanity
poised within a new age...
A rising again,
an expanded consciousness,
a future state.” (64-66) .

Men Of Nobility
sometimes a noble man
must guard his strength heart
upon his strength of will
many must remain steadfast
when emergencies erupt
when wisdom is required
when leadership is lacking
step forward into the fire
life seasoned mighty servant souls
prepared through past pained lessons
time calls plagues with duty summons
grey heads size up cut disasters to pieces

If You Go Out In The Woods Today!
“If you enter
dark
woods beware
evil hides
bidden in
mysteries rare”
I cannot be story book boy
who sings loudly enough
to overcome face the fear!
Nor am I the one who shouts
'Hello, this is not my story! '
Nor the one who cries wolf!
I am not cannot be that boy
I am cast the fool that walks ever
forward ever onward boldly
where angels fear to tread
and I do so love mysteries
myths legends await hero!
The conquest climb is not over
when great peak is climbed
but when mountaineer returns!
Where better adventurer buried
than rooftop of an entire world
where dreams touch horizon sky?
Like fear evil is best conquered killed within!
Evil is fought faced because it exists memorial!
True hero cannot face evil always quest survive!
