royal falcon flies sands where prophet Moses lead

Egyptian people lead themselves to fame freedom sands

stirs heart of freedom loving men to battle cry freedom

Freedom Carries Multiple Meanings

fighting oppression in multiple meanings
censorship through televised manipulations
talking about premeditated virtual conspiracy
against peace loving citizen communications
freedom saga rescue is a nice way to fight
through claimed sight multiple meanings
freedom carries hope seeds in individualistic
experience sanctuary self-phrasing matters

freedom carries multiple meanings
self-praising soul liberation's maturity
like love freedom speech perceptions
like it as if somebody else wrote it
as your own harmonic soul liberations
into your soul rescued from captivity
separate freedom from mind into hearts
claiming God imbued freedom birth rights

Poet Honours Poet Across Cultures

the wheel turns
full circle
turning turning

‘Terence George Craddock
With Honour On My Page’
is the poem ‘Ancient Egyptian

Women Bathe In River Nile’
which was inspired by the poem
‘The Story of River Nile

with Egyptian Women’
by Hosney Soliman.
Poet honours poet all with ears

to listen, hear our mind song,
flowing from the River Nile;
the sphinx, the pyramids,

melting in golden skin colours,
as rebirth awakening Nile floods
washing over our listening souls,

through skies eyes
of freedom worship.
We hounour our love

of freedom liberty beauty
which God wrote into all souls.
God bless Hosney, let us

continue to sing
freedom songs
together in light.

Humanity Always Rises From Slavery

freedom is a choice
some have no choice
some embrace freedom

embrace freedom aspired
to with life risk abandonment
life given on cusp freedom
threshold mind enlightenment

we embrace our true birthright
born separating mind into heart
mind soul demands free spirit

history records tyrant oppression
history records slave rebellion
history teaches freedom liberation

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.

Egyptian Tanks In Tahrir Square

Mighty yellow metal monsters
intimidate approach Tahrir Square;
symbolic modern dread dealers
of death sent to scare spread fear;

but courage of Egyptian peaceful protesters
defies president calculated tank terror threat;
day upon day witness oppressed courageous
civilian populations demands freedom fight.

No torture dictator rule indefinitely steals
a sovereign nation’s dream freedom right;
No general president in immunity survives
indefinitely citizen’s claim to freedom right.

Sentenced For The Term Of Her Natural Life

Past waves
sucked out marrow
chilling chipped
raw bones
stripping striped
flayed flesh.
Balsam rubbed
in hardens.

As gashed
groaning flesh
rigidly resists
handfuls
of coarse salt.
Raked
across weeping wounds
scouraged bitterly.

Lashes tongue
flickering frequent
constant
incriminations
falling relentlessly.
Cat-o’-nine-tails
allows neither
respite nor escape.

Smelling salts
sympathy
denial Governor ordered
bridled regress
deriving unconsciousness.
Induces no reverence
for suppurate
righteous system.

Leg-bail
impediment
affixed
at left anklet
limits
a woman’s freedom
surged
natural running pace.

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.

Universal Freedom Is......

Freedom from hunger and freedom from pain
freedom from loss and so freedom from gain.
Freedom to give and freedom to share
freedom from want and that of despair.

Freedom to think and freedom to know
freedom to achieve and freedom to grow.
Freedom from bondage and freedom of liberation
freedom from ignorance and any unknown situation.

Freedom to come and freedom to leave
freedom to stay and freedom to conceive.
Freedom from struggle and freedom of ease
freedom to enjoy and the capacity to please.

Freedom from failure and freedom of success
freedom from denial and freedom of access.
Freedom from illusion and freedom of reality
freedom to become what we are in actuality.

Freedom to live and freedom to die
freedom to laugh and freedom to cry.
Freedom to speak and freedom to listen
freedom to act based on a wise decision.

Freedom from hate and freedom of love
freedom of below and freedom of above.
Freedom of the past and freedom of the present
freedom of the future and what it can represent.

Freedom from war and freedom of peace
freedom to begin and freedom to cease.
Freedom from sickness and freedom of health
freedom from poverty and mishandled wealth.

Freedom from wrong and freedom being right
freedom of the day and freedom of the night.
Freedom to choose and freedom to reject
freedom to imagine what there is to expect.

Freedom from lust and freedom from greed
freedom from anger and freedom from breed.
Freedom from jealousy and freedom from pride
freedom from within and freedom from outside.
Freedom of always not having anything to hide.

Freedom from space and also freedom from time
freedom from attachment and freedom from crime
Freedom to work and freedom to play
freedom to believe and freedom to pray.
Freedom to experience a rebirth someday.

Freedom from the body and freedom from the mind
freedom from the ego and freedom from being blind.
Freedom of transcendence being of the spiritual kind.

Universal freedom is eternal and infinite bliss
we should all therefore be able to realise this.

The Sun Stands Still

the sun stands still
only when momentous events
epoch time change
occurs imposes change across

normal time continuum
the sun stands still in the sky
in moments of miracle
when freedom refuses to die
