ANJUM WASIM DAR

Blocks Of Pain

No words no thoughts
No feelings no fears
Life is dust, blood, pain
Life no more, yet new- 
Reasons for breathing
Reasons for crying
Hoping for sounds, soothing spirit
In vain
Missiles rain, again and again
What is the world gaining, when
Homes are crumbling, bodies burning.
Palestine! The perpetual target...
Bullet pellet shroud, casket,
War faith sacrifice, defense...
Right to Life, to live or die?
Wait? For the blowing of the trumpet...

Voice Of The World For Palestine

Voice of the people is the voice of the Almighty
Pain fills the heart as tears flow over
Sights of small still bodies enshrouded, remain
Invisible to the deliberate blind...
As cries of freedom justice and peace, fall
On dead deaf ears of ignorant minds
Whither humanity in humankind?
Rampant is chaos by the devil’s mastermind
In whose hand is the browband? 
Whose desire to rule over all land?
How long oppressions will. Command?
How long oppressed will withstand?
Words have failed in history, peace came with guns
Words words words will fail again, 
Alas! Aggressors mean business
Posing justice like Tweedle Dee and Tweedle Dum
Out is the wit, when in is the stum
Countless may die, for a true cause
Useless will be just a humanitarian pause.

Palestinians Blasted

Facing genocide. Staring at death. Ashy shocked shaken
amidst rubble, debris of devastation, homes no more.
Iron fire rain falling from the skies, bombed on their own
Homeland. Who is crushed babies’ kids’ parents, all
Doctors faint, find their kin dead on stretchers wheeled in
No end in sight as death ravages freely. Hark! Is it time?
For faithful martyrdom ordained?
Thousands shrouded, white is the ground sacred
Yes, the land is sacred. Defend they must the faith is true
For it they burn loose limbs shed blood sacrifice loved ones
The world will end. To Allah is our Return.
