Goodness is Life

Poetry by Nahida Izzat Salem-News.com

Forces of darkness knows no way, to put off the light of one faint ray...

(LONDON) -

We all have seen the crime scene

Broadcasted live on our TV screens

We have seen the blood flowing

We have heard the deafening screams

The murder-weapon is known to all

Signed "with love" by hearts of ice

It thundered down with a "gracious" fall

A sigh of relief

It can't get worse

We all proclaimed

We've seen it all

No my dears not so fast

That is simply not true,

far from it!

I forgot to tell you,

The worst is knocking at our doors

The camp of gory fantasize their "glory"

Huffing and puffing for their "mighty rise"

"Smite them all" their favourite hymn

Biocide became the lunatics' surname

Demons of death, their middle-name

* * * * *

The camp of goodness is a home for love

Not a predator nor a beast

Aggression is not its trait

But when pushed down, it has a bite

Like life...rich... full of secrets

Alive... arcane

Patience is its middle name

Kindness fills its heart and soul

* * * * *

"Survival of the fittest" is one big lie

Dawn is approaching, open your eyes

The graceful righteous are the heirs of all

Most able to love, care and share

With tender arms they fully embrace

Forces of darkness knows no way

To put off the light of one faint ray

Swarms of evil cannot destroy

Seeds of nature, resilient, organic most pure

Dear friend, it's not a pretty game

But don't lose hope,

With glad tiding I speak to you

Polarization, well on its way

No standing on the fence

As per today

Do you recall the story

Of David and Goliath?

We are little Davids of our time

Exactly like us, he only had a stone

Don't waste time in pitiful blues

Shed off your pride and grumpy moods

Run to the arms of those who love you

Wipe off your tears and start a new

_________________________________

Nahida Izzat is a Jerusalem-born Palestinian refugee who has lived in exile for over forty two years, after being forced to leave her homeland at the tender age of seven in 1967, during the six-day war. She has a degree in mathematics, but art is one of her favorite pastimes. She loves hand-made things and so makes dolls, cards, and most of her own clothes. She also writes poetry, participates in written dialogues and believes in building bridges, not walls.

She started writing when her friends insisted she should write about her memories, experiences and feelings as a Palestinian.When she did it all came out sounding—she was told—like poetry! So she self-published two books: I Believe in Miracles and Palestine, The True Story.

Her dream is to return back home to a free and liberated Palestine.

If you like poetry and are intrigued by the notion of helping the Palestinian people and learning more, you can purchase Nahida's books, I Believe in Miracles and Palestine, The True Story by visiting: I Believe in Miracles: a Collection of Palestinian Poems
