If We Can Touch The Stars.. So Why We Insist On Wars. Poem by Abdallah Gamal
If We Can Touch The Stars.. So Why We Insist On Wars.
Sometimes you look in your tape of past, and miss being a cute child.
Just remembering that, makes you feel as you're seeing the heavens after you were blind.
Remembering my dad pushing me while I was riding makes me feel out of my mind.
Remembering my sister hiding from me above the tree, and I got tired of find.
Remembering my father raising me up on his shoulders, to fly the kite.
Remembering, while me and my sister having the same toy, then we go in a fight,
then I get mad, and complain to my dad, suddenly I find in my hand a bite,
then I start crying, my dad suddenly come and hit me. Oh everything is white.
Remembering my dad taking me from my hand to learn me the Holy Qura'n.
Remembering, while me and my friends hanging the lanterns of Ramadan.
Remembering my dad be proud of me and taking me to the job by his van.
Remembering my Mum making a cup cake even if I get older and be a man.
Memories just when I remeber it, I feel that I'm touching the stars.
And when I get back to my mind.. I say why we're continueing these wars.
This poem makes me remember about all the memories from my childhood and this is a great poem very nice and sweet :) goodjob! Keep writing
This is good, man, really good. Keep the child alive throughout the time you are here. Remember and keep thinking in the simple terms of children. Remembering our lessons we learned and our ideals, will help you to become a wonderful person and remain as such. Fantastic poem
Good questions! .... life could be so good if it wasn't for wars. Lovely memories of childhood, thanks for sharing.
Well I can see you have had a very normal childhood. All the conflicts of a happy childhood! * War* my *grandmother* told me Hatred is the cause of all this strife! When I was a child the word hate was like a cuss word. Indeed this word as cause many of deaths many of sorrows if we could only delete it from the human mind. However, nature must run it course. I Loved the Book *Men are from Mars and Women are from Venus*! It might shed some light why men takes the punishment.
without memories, we have nothing. what can we compare life to if we have no memories.
