Arabian

~Dedicated to those we don’t read about in Iraq~

**********************

Satiric...sun full on a tossed desert. Rung for society as each other, no more than our neighbor become our trend.

Singled out, ours to others a loathsome bend. A world rhyme with as much as our mystery, as a starved civilization breeds for ambition.

Time clandestine, waste ambiguous to thine eye...short sight for Seers as we’re educated. Surviving becomes us heroes.

Music starts our dreams, glow is life as we’ve dyed our blood for its experience. An awareness that races before it stops there...nigh a revelation.

Born for fancy means to fly, grieved to realize gravities error...when we dive and never land, not at least until we’re dead.

Angels rage for our souls...mistaking them higher as we’re envied.

Ideally hanged for prodigious thoughts...now we live, to sit our thrones before we’re stone.

Who’s to compare when its ignorance driving? News suspicious that they know us, then your opinions biased having you hate us. Though we’re not privy to the same station our pain’s the same.

    Exotic and compelling - you never fail to have emotion portrayed within your wide usage of vocabulary.. and in this piece, the imagery and the depth of meaning were another two features which made it such and enjoyable read.
