Joe Sadeghloo Poems

My Chicago Cubs are in New York!
Excitement is in the air!
Local TVs' top of the list
News of the hour...
...

Lord knows, Mr. Trump,
I do my best to be a hardworking, conscientious, and responsible citizen.
Lord also knows,
I have done my best
...

It has been two years,
since you left us and went to Behesht*
Just one day before the Mother's day 2010
I am still trying to deal with your move...
...

Once I went to 'All Saints' to visit Anna
I couldn't find her
She was lost
She was eighty-two
...

Oh, wishes and dreams and not so great expectations
All locked up inside my head:

The forgotten melodies
...

You sympathizer, empathizer, protector,
defender of the poor super rich people!

Oh! Heaven knows, I feel their pain
...

I was driving home
Late at night,
Driving on a tollway,
going north to Wisconsin.
...

In search of Americans!

There was a new comer in our town, a noisy suburb of Chicago,
With planes above, and four wheels below,
...

My name is Kevin Randal
I died on April 2,2017, a fine early spring day, at the age of sixty.
My body was cremated and my ashes were put in an urn
and buried next to my Dad's grave in the village of Fithian's Cemetery, with its big skies above and
...

THE AZAN

"God is greater than any description
God is greater than any description
...

The whole thing is so surreal!
You woke up with a big chill, sweating, shaking, metamorphosed!
You had a dream, a bad dream, a nightmare!
You had visited the Armageddon on a cardboard horseback
...

Forgive me for wondering,
Forgive me for questioning,
Forgive me for being myself,
Forgive me for being human!
...

There was this lake,
Don't know where
How big or small
I just could see dunes and hills surrounding it
...

He lived in an old trailer till it started depreciating and falling apart. The elements, rain, snow, and the wind had found their ways inside the cabin through the holes on the roof and the cracks on the walls!

Suddenly, he was out there in the streets, homeless, with his old bike by his side and his strong beliefs in finding freedom, healing and hope in Jesus Christ thru the 7th Day Adventist Church!

The Best Poem Of Joe Sadeghloo

The Middle East And The World Series Championship!

My Chicago Cubs are in New York!
Excitement is in the air!
Local TVs' top of the list
News of the hour...
We are going to win this year!
We are going to be 2015 World Series Champions!
The long wait will pay off...


Price of gas is down
As low as 2.50 per gallon
It seems, everyone's out there driving
'Kennedy Expressway', sometime, at rush hours
looks like a Lot with millions of parked cars
with nowhere to go!
(Just be patient! Traffic will move on any minute now!)

National Unemployment rate is at 5.1 percent
It seems, everyone's working,
at least in my neck of woods,
except for a few who are retired or on disability...
Homicide and murder rates in the Southside (Chicago)
need more attention but 'generally speaking'
not alarming, less than previous years per experts...
THINGS ARE LOOKING UP!

Then, I go on line to see what's going on in
other peoples' neck of woods...
Images from the Middle East break my heart,
my joy gives way to sadness, anger, and years of
unanswered questions...

Bombings, shootings, killings, conflicts,
wars and its refugees; all over the Middle East...,
Thousands of Innocent People getting killed,
murdered, bombed, and annihilated...
Towns, villages, and homes destroyed all over
in Iraq, Syria, Yemen, ....
It is Just like watching War movies...
But these are real!
How I wished they were not!

What happened?
I remembered, years back,
how passionately, important personalities,
men of power and politics,
were talking about winning hearts and minds of Iraqis, Afghanis, Arabs of this side and that side,
Bringing peace to the Middle East between
Peoples of Israel and Palestine...
What happened? !

Oh! How I wished
I could have done something, anything to
see these folks to live normal lives, just like us...,
enjoying a baseball game
as if there was no other worries in
the world except
winning the World Series Championship!
