I had such a great evening yesterday with my DC Guerrilla Poetry Insurgency friends at the spoken word event they organize once a month at Bossa. I had left the office with this heavy feeling, thinking about Syria, species going extinct, the situation in my country, lack of sufficient progress in climate negotiations, etc., etc. But going to these events is always such an amazing experience. By the end of the last poem by our lovely hosts, I was a different person… strong and ready to continue fighting the good fight for a better future… So here’s a piece that describes these emotions to some extent. Happy reading!
This is my moment of solitude,
When all the pieces of my life
Come together.
An instant of quietude
That could last forever.
I find my place in space.
Words fill up my mind,
I risk a rhyme.
Making sense of life,
As I play with sentences,
There are no limits, no fences.
Out here, I feel bold;
I see beauty in the winter,
In the strangeness of the cold…
I own it all
And learn so much,
Till I go back inside
To the warmth of his touch.

Dear FLavia Rocha Loures
I have posted my poem(See comments on your poem) for your reading which I wrote sometimes back in Fort Lauderdale,Florida Engr.Anwar H.Mujahid
Dedicated to the children of the world
“World is a train full of children”
Full of children,world is a train
They are innocent,harmless,humane
World is a train full of children
They don’t harm any one,old or young
They don’t harm you even with their toungue
World is a train full of children
They have beautiful,shinning dreams
Nothing evil or wicked in their realms,
World is a train full of children
This train is closing on a sad accident
Due to things unexpected,unpleasant
World is a train full of children
children are mine and your best hopes
This train is reaching very dangerous slopes
World is a train full of children
before it is too late let us save this train
let us save the children who remain
