hamid kareem

i hear the name
and my world revolves
a name for angels
beautiful beyond imagining
...

off they went three foolish greedy men
in search of death to kill him before they die they mean
onward they went with neither food nor spleen
but for a bottle that soon dried up of wine
...

a formal word
for life at its end
you come in black
hovering unseen in the dark
...

i look at my land
and i couldnt help but behold
as i cried at the sight
my home and country is dying
...

if i had a son
i'll show him care
so as to have love
i'll give him money
...

Friend or Foe?
This is the question I ask
As I look unto the world
Verily a Judas is come
...

i looked to my left
a vast nothingnes befell
to my right behold
are walls too cold from lack of touch
...

when i was young
i'd sit for hours
watchng the moon
more in awe and
...

i would like to die a man
with smiles and laughter
till death in my mouth
i would like to die
...

the blanket of night
as been removed
as the early gleam of rays
like the haze on the mountains of switzerland
...

i never knew twas like this
this world this earth
this land of cries
...

i hear of the place
from every mouth in my place
even those who never believed
have babbled of the land
...

leave me i beg to my element
let me my mistakes make
let me shameless myself correct
till to my allure at least i try
...

a wordly good
bought with life
sown with seed
born to be
...

what is this life but a place of visit
but knowing we will one day passo'er
and this world our host
has all our desires
...

my fair lilly
i look at you
and i see a gem unknown,
a glistining star in a lonely sky
...

i cried as i came
for the world i saw
was not the world i crave
the world i saw
...

blasphemy! That’s the word they decry
Oh! Amucks take me not for my words
For tis not the body but the soul
Tis not this words but soul that’s in it
...

The first time I had a rat visitor
I heard scratching at my door
Tap; tap, I heard on my doorstep
Scared I sat before standing up
...

My land and home
Perfect as perfect could be
Though less colorful to many a painters gaze
Alas! Tis as perfect as perfect could be
...
