Stone Riddles (For Ahmed Khaled)

question...
fire consumes,
but gives...

money...
buys possessions,
owns you...

love...
heart broken,
living pieces.

war...
impotent men
waving swords!

death,
body given,
spirit taken.

passion,
rain falling,
drops whisper!

anger,
fear frustrated,
turning inwards.

hunger,
empty bowl,
empty soul!

lover,
hears, feels,
respects, touches.

God,
human faces,
dawn's body!
