Voyage Poem by Hanan Muzafar
Voyage
Near a calm lake,
long night waiting for day,
clock on its slow pace,
like hourglass and its sand—
Sorrow carved on ivory teeth,
wounds on back,
and revenge on its way.
The guns blaze,
metal dripping out of furnace;
Every burst carrying a flare,
and every empire trembling in its way:
Whipped land, drenched in pain,
The Lion in shackles,
and fate making wheel to rotate.
Grown on woes, creeping in fog,
Venom they put in my veins—
On an isolated voyage,
what I became:
Armageddon I carry in my mind and hand,
Wake me up, when it's over.
o suffering through revolutionary mind you live all behind where destroyed all kind illegally on hand of blind //// great
