Isaac Maliya Poems

A land of peace is here
It is also there, everywhere
Quiet and eerie
No wails, no tears
...

You are the witness, Oh four walls
Before you are all the plans for wars
But you’re dumb to talk for the laws
...

Those tears
You 'teared' about
Drop by drop
Tear by tear
...

I wish.............

Those sophisticated bullets were tablets of cure
Those automatic guns were slinges of life
...

This poem is a mess
It claimed shads of paper
Drained in pensil and ink
Finished and unfinished
...

Slender, slippery, slim, and smooth
The aroma of the cheapest
Nice though to smell, even from afar
Appetising though to chew
...

What a stupendous creation
Yet land is alienated beneath you,
The landless stratum created around you,
As the monopoliser plucks surplus value
...

Seekers of wealth flooded the coastlands
Dhows trimmed mum’s humanity
Domination’s first chapter flapped
The inception of a hard road.
...

Whose birth was celebrated
Ululations tingled even the deaf ear
Gospels encountered nodding heads
A blissful start of life’s chapter.
...

I belong here
In the multicoloured sands
Where I live and will die in
Whether you like it or not.
