Ali Rahimi Poems

Seven-year-old Burmese girl is kidnapped,
Kept in a dog cage, forced to be the family servant,
Hot water poured all over her body, scalded,
She cannot lift or move her arms.
...

Laws, religious injunctions urge us to be nice,
Friendly, decent, generous, and honest,
Pay taxes, help the needy, feel guilty for wrongdoings,
Respect the elderly,
...

In love with your aroma,
Madly cherished your aura,
Slavishly adored your pheromones,
Was ruthlessly victim to your hormones,
...

Peace is beautiful, peace is human,
Peace is our heaven, peace is our soul,
Peace is our spirit, peace is our solace,
War brings nothing but,
...

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
...

I lay in bed between life and death
Got no sleep and was in great pain
My soul weary, my spirit unhappy
Felt like Boby Sand's last fatal day
...
