Walking In Jerusalem Poem by nidal habash
Walking In Jerusalem
Walking the Roman Roads
Darkened mist uniting the young and old
A scared silence with an eerie wind
A Yamaka embracing a dagger and the story is yet to unfold
I heard the screams, thuds and booms
Shadows melting as cousins bleed in an entwining stream
I felt ambivalent without a care
As I walked between bodies laid in despair
.....We all been here before.
So I walked to the Golden Dome
To a sight of a man picking his own thorns
He stopped me to declare
I am a Christian, Muslim and a Jew
I came to see if the stories I heard are true
I thought the scriptures are crystal clear
Don't kill your brothers and sisters
Cherish the earth and sun with what you hold dear
But all I have seen is hatred and fear
The Earth in Mourning and the sun is a shadow of her peers
I stopped the wise stranger
But could not fight back the bitter tears
Who are you I asked?
A thunderous cloud declares. He is Isa the messiah and his second coming is near.
Lovely piece of poetry, well articulated and elegantly penned in poetic diction with spiritual insight. Thanks for sharing. Please read my poem MANDELA - THE IMMORTAL ICON.
A very well written poem that depicts the 'evils' of our present day, but ends with hope.. Indeed we still have or at least should strive to have hope in your hearts for things to change....
thank you for your kind words...Evil can be conquered with hope.. and would like to see more of it
'' I thought the scriptures are crystal clear Don't kill your brothers and sisters Cherish the earth and sun with what you hold dear But all I have seen is hatred and fear The Earth in Mourning and the sun is a shadow of her peers'' yes.. and what we see is hatred and fear growing day after day.. Thank you, Nidal. Welcome at P.H. and keep on writing Blessings Fabrizio
