Ashraf Karayath Poems

I revolt for freedom
Till my body is cut into pieces
Till they are thrown in the dark forest
Till I become one with the universe
...

The messiah is on the mountain
People dropped the tools, flocked for truth

The messiah appeared again,
...

Your question, ‘Do you love me? ’
Gives no option but a ‘yes’ or a ‘no’
Depriving my choices, killing my abundance,
Leaving me with this dichotomy, ‘this’, or ‘that’
...

I aspired to sing from within
But I had to sing with them

I sought to think beyond
...
