Awareness for Toomaj Salehi.

This is a poem,
I hope it gets through,
Written for a man,
Who brings AWARENESS to TRUTH.

Toomaj Salehi received his death sentence the other day,
For writing songs- rapping is his game.

There is a petition on change.org
Try and overturn...

Simple Pleasures

These most simple pleasures,
a warm breeze, bird song, time passing, unmarked, unmeasured.
Quiet company, vibrant life, flowering in its complexities.
Deep sleep ,a soft. bed, partners who fit each others irregularities.
Good food ,a child's...

Sequoia

Born to a land unspoiled and free
The mighty sequoia was on the ascendancy
Ancient elders stood erect and proud
Free from threats to pierce a cloud

Out of nowhere came a destructive presence
Little creatures with a cold, dark luminescence
So...

Regret

Regret and condemnation,

 circulate in the mind,

 propagating themselves,

 making more of their kind.
Images replicate,

 demanding ever more attention,

 starving life of love,

 and any new potential,

A small act of kindness
can cast all...

Obstacle

I didn't mean to be an obstacle to your vision
,to cloud your perfect day.
I really should consider the things i do or say.
You has organized reality in such a perfect way.
Forgive me my transgression,
I forgot i played a part,
and my lines...

Without.

Without a vision ,
there is no drive.
Without drive no direction.
Without direction a drifting through,
a windblown inattention,

Driven by the chaos of circumstances
the push of social will.
a stand held on shifting sand
Compressed into...

Trees

The trees grow high,
Nearly touching the sky.
Tons, their bodies weigh
And be just gods they may.

They look upon us from their height,
Doing nothing for us in spite.
They see us cutting down their friend,
Waiting until we come to an end.

I can't reach you.

I can't reach you.

I enjoy the beauty of the sky
when it is tinged with red glow.
I am mesmerised to see the moon
when it is peeping behind the trees.
I gaze and gaze to the dew drops
which are glittering like dimonds on leaves.

The...

Our Uniqueness

Each of us is a piece of time, measured out to all eternity. And no piece, no matter the cut or slice, is any larger or smaller in its entirety than the whole, whereof it constitutes the...

How A Father Heals

How a father heals
Is not by means of force
How a father heals
Is by means of voice

How a father heals
Is through explanation and love
How a father heals
Is tough, rough, but more than above

Above all else,
Above all the crying
The...

Passivity

Each day I commit to a productive day,
Wasting away in prayer I don't say,
To continue making a living with less toxic ways,
Only to find myself in the cusp of being homeless anyways,
Derived from perseverance and quality of character,
