Poetic Rhapsody

I was

always scared 

of 

emotional attachment 

and deep seas

because

you never know

how deep it can go

unless

you drown 

profoundly.

We listen 

to 

sages and priests

who are seeking

for forgiveness 

for their own sins.

We soil

our innocent 

minds 

with the 

filthy poison

our society 

fills in

us.

No document is as powerful as a cloth on a head

or a red line on a forehead,

it can start blood baths. 

 The most beautiful thing in the world 

isn’t happiness and bravery 

in fact it is 

the pain and chaos and anger 

that builds 

this insanely peaceful world

that follows. 

Poets are

estranged humans

with 

monotonous thoughts

put together differently.

-Ibtisam 9A
