Poem: Call from the vessels

Here's a poem, I won't say much for this as it is wrote for the sailing vessels and the valorous souls on board and my reflections over the current affairs. The seas turned silent The winds came to a halt Calls from the vessels Traveled thousands of miles Spread over the skies I sat there saying my prayers A leaf fell in I looked up at the moonlit sky And saw the constellations But not of Leo or Ara They were the constellations of Sara, Noor, Zain and thousands of others They looked down on me Questions in their eyes 'The vessels call you' They said 'Do you dare to answer' My heart leaps I wish I could answer them Say yes to the call Burn the boats like they did But how am I supposed to tell them That I'm behind the bars The bars I've created for myself The bars so nugatory compared to the ones Sinwar faced The bars I can break, But am not brave enough to The constellations disappeared Air rustles again Scent of the seas fills my chamber I sit there on m...

Poem: Dark Room

Another day, another poem. This one is my latest piece, and also quite dramatic. I had been thinking for a long time on the core concept of this prompt: People. I was feeling like we are slowly losing the value and importance of people in our lives, embracing loneliness and driving away from relations has been more on the trend. This felt like a piece in my mind from a long time, and writing it down felt like venting out my emotions in my diary and was quite relaxing: In a world full of people The light goes out It's silence for a moment And then I hear shouts But I can only hear them Unable to see the faces and their expressions For its total blackout Someone bumps in me 'Oh sorry' I hear I walk a few steps And stamp a feet 'Hey watch out' 'Sorry' I voice out I try to hold someone's shoulder 'Let go', and they run off I fall back onto somebody 'Hey, watch out young lady'  'I'm sorry, but I'm a gentleman' I regain my balan...

Poem: Shall I tell you a story

  Hello readers, I'm back after a short break. I think this time is enough for a break, not too long, nor too short So today's poem is on the topic of the ongoing Palestine issue, maybe I'm quite late in this regard, and I should've done this pretty sooner, well, I had intended to do so, but ideas won't come to me and yet, when they had finally sprung up, I picked up my pen and started filling pages of my diary. Shall I tell you a story? A story of excitement and happiness A story of love and hugs A story of peace and prosperity A story of the clear blue skies, and the lush green land of figs, olives, and prophets A story of the names embroidered on my family tree A story of my old home A home long lost Shall I tell you a story? A story of tears and sadness A story of harshness and bitterness A story of shoves and hatred A story of loss and despair A story of patience and resistance A story of the dark, grey skies And the grey, barren land of the dead A story of nam...

Essay: Is today's youth interested in politics

Hey people, I'm here again with another argument, (the kind which I write), still short though, but trust me, this ones quite better than the previous one,  not that good, but you'll notice some improvement, but you know what, I wrote this one before the other one, honestly This I wrote on the topic: 'Today's youth is not interested in politics at all': When I was younger, I often used to hear the stories of the Muslim League and student union from my grandfather which he was a part of in his late teens and tweens, however, youth today is much different, their mentality is much different just like the time.  It might look like that young people today, have no particular interest in politics because that's how it looks like, we don't see any 'all youth' movements and leagues struggling to bring about a change in society, nor do we see many young people discussing politics, or participating in any important political matters, but is this enough to prov...

Essay: Should we worry about endangered species so much

  Hello readers, I'm back! sorry for showing up veeery late, actually I was very busy with my exams, finally, they're over, (phew!),and I'm free again from the ' Prison of examination' as I call it, I don't know what will be my grades, maybe a C, or D, but I'm sure that I'll somehow pass, anyways, here's the good news, I'm here with lots of writing pieces that I wrote while solving my English past papers, there were plenty of interesting writing topics and I wrote on many of them, so gear up guys, a flood of descriptives, argumentive, and narratives is coming. This one I wrote on the topic: 'Should we worry about endangered species so much', now the topic required a strong argument, but mine is not that advance, and it's really short too, indeed shorter than a 'short story',  (sorry, but. to be honest, I'm no good at arguments), but I still decided to post it on my blog as it is my  CREATION , now some serious talk, I'...
