Ali Rahimi Poems

ONCE! ! !
silence was once a disease, now a cure
brain was once the commander, now the slave
lie was once a sin, now a virtue
...

Education is a lucrative corrupt market BUT offered as a method of transmitting knowledge and insight,
Freedom is torture and terror BUT defined as the right to do and say what you like,
Truth is manufactured by powerful leaders BUT regarded as the opposite of falsehood,
Honor killing is an abominable heinous practice But adored as an honorable glorious event.
...

Children are bundles of fun,
Heaps of joy, mountains of love,
Hoards of affection, hills of kindness,
Stockpiles of tenderness and fiery affection,
...

My silence is pregnant with meaning,
Replete with dreams and yearning,
Dreams nipped in the bud,
Desires ruthlessly rubbed in the mud,
...

A kiss is lovers' lips tenderly meeting,
their hearts fast musically beating,
in the meantime,
their minds beautifully shrinking,
...

YOU are the intact roseberry
at the hills of yorkshire,
out of reach of human greed,
you are the red coy apple,
...

He was the cornucopia of emotions,
Alas, her land defied all matter,
Disillusioned and nonplused, he muttered:
Nature abhors vacuum,
...

Love him, and he will,
climb the lofty soaring Mount Everest,
bare foot _ for you,
walk indefatigably backward to the North Pole,
...

Her hair was made of thorn
cause of where she was born
her heart was made of golden threads
but was tied by molten threats
...

Alcohol is the queen
Tobacco is her consort
So we can still die
We'll still be able to die
...
