Listen to me sweetie!

Listen to me sweetie!

She looked at me and asked:
We have been struggling hard,
When will this struggle end?
I raised my eyes and said,
Sweetie, this will all end.
And then we shall all be free,
Like birds flying from tree to tree.
Our children will laugh and dance,
Their friends will sing with a prance.
No more injustice shall be done.
We will smile again and have fun.
It was past dawn with a new day.
That gave us hope with the first ray.
We knew the struggle was over.
We knew it made us even braver.
No day, no night lasts for ever,

Eternal Love

Immortal love we always need,
Less than that becomes a weed,
Oh, great love, you often feed,
Very young lovers and then lead,
Eternal happiness with a little seed,
Obstinate to carry out a great deed,
Baby you know my love is great,
Love can make us one and create,
Youth that will never die or fade,
Youth that doesn't grudge or hate,
Old age never affects our souls,
Under our flesh, great love recalls,
Better days we lived and still enjoy,
An easy life with our little boy,
But deep inside our love increases,
You know love fights all diseases.

Guess Who?

I know someone who's absurd,
He seldom says one English word,
He always turns to Arabic,
He says he is Anglo-phobic,

He's got a name too big for him,
I know not why he lives a dream,
He comes to class to pass the time,
He takes no notes; he writes no rime,
But I like that he takes a joke,
In good part, unlike other folk,
He always laughs in my classes,
He says he'll dance if he passes,
He's got a heart of real gold,
He will keep it when he gets old,
His life will change if he's not shy,
Like most of you, but he will try,

To work as hard as a real horse,
In the end, he will pass, of course.

My Love Story

Ever since I knew the facts of life,
I've realized how much I needed a wife,
I kept such a dream in my head,
Until she came and me she led,
By her heart's great tenderness,
She filled my heart with endless happiness,
And lifted my spirits in her calmness,
She entered my world as a butterfly,
That flies gracefully in the sky,
When I saw her, my heart beat,
I swore, then, I would not retreat,
I would go on with her or die,
Not less than that I aimed to try,
She haunted me in my sleep,
I told her that my love was deep,
I found myself in her pure soul,
I strove so hard to make her fall,
In love with me and so did she,
And that made me happy and free

Lovelorn

I have a friend whose name begins with an 'm',
He hopes to own a Mercedes or a B M,
He loves a lady, nice, beautiful, but shy,
He says she thinks he's a gift from the sky,
He always says she loves another guy,
I tell him 'pay no heed. Keep aiming high',
He is so proud. His head is in the cloud,
He's crazy, and insane.'I love thee' he says loud,
His love for her is hidden and cowed,
Had he loved her, he'd be happy and proud,
I always advise him not to show his pain,
For that will not make him win or gain,
Her heart nor will she be just or sane,
Her carelessness is clear and plain,
My last comment on his conduct is inane,
Because all his attempts are in vain.

My Three Pet Peeves

MY Three Pet Peeves

Three things I hate most in life,
And struggle in my fight and strife.
I hate to see people lie.
They say they can justify,
For them lies have colors.
For me lies are bad manners.
For them lying is as easy as eggs.
For me lies have very short legs.
I also hate people with excuses,
Though this will be of no uses.
For he who excuses himself,
Does nothing but accuse himself.
I also hate coming late to any activity,
For this is a sign of naivety.
'Better be late than never',
Is the weakest excuse ever.

Unkind Brother

All religions praise and commend kindness
All people, young and old, abhor meanness.
Truth is always sought, but often twisted,
By people who are cruel and self-interested.
You do people good turns, they ask for more,
You stop doing favors, they wage their war.
Old people say blood is thicker than water.
But back stabs come from your blood brother,
Who might be older or might be younger.
What sin have you committed, what murder?
You just cannot do him any more favor! !
For him, you MUST give without delay,
For him, you're made of MONEY not clay.
When will he know the value of brothers?
When will he stop chasing my treasures?
The truth is painful, and us it bothers:
Such are brothers, cruel back-stabbers! !

Advice to Students: Don't You Quit!

Let me give you some advice
Take it, leave it but be nice
If you take it, you will pass
If you leave it, you may pass
Attend classes at your college
This will help increase your knowledge
Try to be on friendly terms
With your teachers all the terms
Show them how you play your part
Make them say you are smart
Prepare your work in advance
Or spend your lecture in a trance
Do your homework every week
And in the lecture be so meek
Ask your teachers all the time
Asking them is not a crime
When you ask them, be so kind
This will never make them mind
If you give a wrong answer
Don't think you've caused cancer

Love at First Sight

We met and let our eyes speak,
We meant to talk, but felt so weak.
'Was it love at first sight? ', I wondered,
'Was it just a mere idea? ', I murmured.
Then words helped us break the ice.
How lovely was the talk! How nice!
Time felt we stole His hours,
We felt time was just ours.
We knew we were meant to meet,
At such a time, in such a heat.
Soon I called her my better half,
Soon I tasted the joy of love.
We rushed to pledge for ever,
To rise to glory or fall together.
She meant the world to me and more
I meant no less with my little lore.
We were so happy and content,
To lead our life, and were so bent,
To stick together through thick and thin,
To tell the world our true love was no sin.

Great Hopes

We come to life with no great aim,
But step by step, our souls flame.
We crawl before we learn to walk.
We babble before we learn to talk.
We walk and make our first step,
With a lot of pain and a little help.
We make it then and start to run,
With too much love and too much fun.
But we are still with no great aims,
For life is still a bunch of games.
Then we grow up and pain begins,
And start to know of our sins.
We think we choose what we shall be,
But soon we change and start to see,
That we are made what we should be.
When we see that and stick to it,
We might succeed and make a hit.
Then we begin to set some goals,
Which will enrich our empty souls.
Yes hope springs eternal in the heart,
