World Poems

If I were in charge of the world
I'd cancel oatmeal,
Monday mornings,
Allergy shots, and also Sara Steinberg.
...

I dream a world where man
No other man will scorn,
Where love will bless the earth
And peace its paths adorn
...

The brooding ghosts of Australian night have gone from the bush and town;
My spirit revives in the morning breeze,
though it died when the sun went down;
...

If the world was crazy, you know what I'd eat?
A big slice of soup and a whole quart of meat,
A lemonade sandwich, and then I might try
...

O world, I cannot hold thee close enough!
   Thy winds, thy wide grey skies!
   Thy mists that roll and rise!
Thy woods this autumn day, that ache and sag
...

When you look for peace
then the peace lies within you
When you search for peace
then it is not hard to find
...

The story's told
Of long ago
About a statue
With a head of gold
...

'Attar began The Conference of the Birds (Mantiq al-tair) with an invocation praising the holy Creator in which he suggested that one must live a hundred lives to know oneself; but you must know God by the deity, not by yourself, for God opens the way, not human wisdom. 'Attar believed that God is beyond all human knowledge. The soul will manifest itself when the body is laid aside. One cannot gain spiritual knowledge without dying to all things. When the birds assemble, they wonder why they have no king. The Hoopoe presents herself as a messenger from the invisible world with knowledge of God and the secrets of creation. She recommends Simurgh as their true king, saying that one of his feathers fell on China.

The Nightingale says that the love of the Rose satisfies him, and the journey is beyond his strength; but the Hoopoe warns against being a slave of passing love that interferes with seeking self-perfection. The Parrot longs for immortality, and the Hoopoe encourages the Peacock to choose the whole. The Duck is too content with water to seek the Simurgh. The Hoopoe advises the Partridge that gems are just colored stones and that love of them hardens the heart; she should seek the real jewel of sound quality. The Humay is distracted by ambition, and the Owl loves only the treasure he has found. The Hoopoe reprimands the Sparrow for taking pride in humility and recommends struggling bravely with oneself. She states that the different birds are just shadows of the Simurgh. If they succeed, they will not be God; but they will be immersed in God. If they look in their hearts, they will see the divine image. All appearances are just the shadow of the Simurgh. Those loving truly do not think about their own lives and sacrifice their desires. Those grounded in love renounce faith and religion as well as unbelief. One must hear with the ear of the mind and the heart.

My Stella 54
(Occupied with love)

What wilt the world say about our love so unlike the nature?
...

In the world of Saints
...

We have now won two world-wars, neither of which concerned us, we were
slipped in. We have levelled the powers
Of Europe, that were the powers of the world, into rubble and
dependence. We have won two wars and a third is comming.
...

Welcome to my world
Some say it's a simple place
Well that may be so
But at least, there's always a smile on my face
...

World was in the face of the beloved--,
but suddenly it poured out and was gone:
world is outside, world can not be grasped.
...

Good bye to this world....
when the son kills his father
and the father forsakes his son
Good bye to this world
...

Oh, the world is all too rude for thee, with much ado and care;
Oh, this world is but a rude world, and hurts a thing so fair;
...

the withering heights of fading grace
a mirror not reflect all, but only the face
we turn to dust what wise men say
skins and bones they wither away
...

Why don't we all take a hard look at the world we live in.
Why is it that we have all the hate not love,
Why is there all ways room for war, not peace?
Why is it that no one ever thinks about the consequences of their actions?
...

Whoever now weeps somewhere in the world,
weeps without reason in the world,
weeps over me.
...

At Aphrodite's birthplace stands a shrine, where men have worshiped Venus
Drunk on wine, and sipped the nectar not lent from the vine
Of this world, Oh this world
...

We live in a world where the reaper appears unexpected. In a world where death is imminent. In a world where sorrow and pain thrives. In a world where people struggle and cries. In a world where everybody eats and dies. In a world where day by day we grow old. In a world where we first be in pain before we gain. Life is unfair. Each day tears are shed. Each day we bled. Amidst all of this we must know. This world is preparing us for a better one. A world with no sorrow or pain. A world where we never grow old each day. A world where death is held at bay. A world where our beloved will stay. With you, with everyone forever. Till eternity and to never ever. To whoever is facing pain. To whoever is sorrowful and in pain. We all feel for you. Seeing hearts bleed on media. My heart bleeds for you too. You are not alone. We are all on the same boat. Look forward to world beyond. There is hope and love amidst all.

"I can imagine a world without books,
but I can't imagine a world without education.
I can imagine a world without degrees,
but I can't imagine a world without talent.

The Chance Operations Of Short History And Features Of The World Literature Into Verse Paragraph
20 January, 2019

World literature is sometimes used to refer to the sum total of the world's national literatures, but usually it refers to the circulation of works into the wider world beyond their country of origin. Often used in the past primarily for masterpieces of Western European literature, world literature today is increasingly seen in global context. Readers today have access to an unprecedented range of works from around the world in excellent translations, and since the mid-1990s a lively debate has grown up concerning both the aesthetic and the political values and limitations of an emphasis on global processes over national traditions.

Creative worlds are aligned dreams of talking therapy.
realism makes sense of the experience you have had
Eternities are lot difference worlds
Alternative parallel worlds
...

Life has never been sweeter
The entrance to what is peaceful
A reality to all of us
A Turkish, a Russian complex

An eye for another eye; would definitely plunge the entire world into a mortuary of cringing darkness—would definitely make the entire world blind,

A tongue for another tongue; would definitely dumb the entire world into a wall of haplessly delirious silence—would definitely make the entire world mute,
